Jing Xi looked at Wen Ke’er and asked, “What do you want?”
“Hand Qiao Ruoyi over, and I’ll let the both of you go.” Wen Ke’er smirked.
Wen Ke’er knew she could pressure them because she had brought enough people with her.
“And what if I don’t?”
Not only was Jing Xi not planning to cooperate, she even pulled Qiao Ruoyi back.
“Then don’t blame me for what happens after that.”
Wen Ke’er waved her hands, signaling her bodyguards to snatch Qiao Ruoyi away from Jing Xi. It was then that Jing Xi’s guards sprang out from behind and formed a wall in between them.
Wen Ke’er did not expect Jing Xi to have brought more guards than she had and realized that she could not snatch Qiao Ruoyi away by force.
“Let’s go,” Jing Xi said, noticing that Wen Ke’er was stunned.
They returned to the beach, where everything was already set up.
They lay down on the beach chairs to calm themselves down.
“Thank you again,” Qiao Ruoyi said to Jing Xi when she thought of Wen Ke’er’s stunned expression. “I don’t even know how to repay you.”
If Qiao Ruoyi were alone in the shop, she would’ve been dragged away by force.
While the ladies were talking, Huo Yunshen and Tang Yitan returned with the kids.
When they saw another unfamiliar face with their wives, the husbands looked at them curiously.
“Hubby, this is my friend from school, the one I told you about before, Qiao Ruoyi.” Jing Xi quickly introduced her. “I saw her at the market we were at and invited her to join us.”
“Miss Qiao, nice to meet you,” Huo Yunshen greeted.
“Nice to meet you, too, Mr. Huo!” Qiao Ruoyi greeted back excitedly as she finally got to meet her idol.
When she had visited the Yunjing Manor last time, Huo Yunshen was still unconscious. Seeing Huo Yunshen up and well was a relief for Qiao Ruoyi.
Jing Xi then introduced Qiao Ruoyi to Tang Yitan and his family.
Barbeques and healthy foods were prepared for lunch.
Since Huo Yunshen was there, Jing Xi could only hold back her urges to eat some barbequed foods. She knew that Huo Yunshen would never let her touch anything that was unhealthy.
It was a delightful lunch as Qiao Ruoyi looked at the two happy families and couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
She couldn’t help but think about the baby she once had with Feng Yunan and wondered how her life would be if the baby were still alive.
They took a rest after lunch before deciding on what to do for afternoon activities.
A movie set was set up near them. It was also lunchtime for the crew and stars. Wen Ke’er lay on her comfortable chair as the makeup artist was putting her makeup on.
“Did you find out where they went?” Wen Ke’er asked her assistant.
“Yes, it seems like they’re having a picnic just next to us. And they have a lot of people with them.”
