Yuwen Jing was actually quite unhappy that someone had disturbed the two of them. If it had been someone else, and not Qu Haoqiang, he would have ignored everything and asked someone to kick the other person out. However, Qu Haoqiang was his future cousin-in-law. No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he could only watch helplessly as Qu Haoqiang disrupted his and Chen Meng’er’s date.
Because Qu Haoqiang was Chen Meng’er’s cousin, Yuwen Jing respected him. “Haoqiang, don’t worry about this. I will be with Meng’er.” Regardless, Yuwen Jing did not give Qu Haoqiang a definite answer. He did not say that he would definitely help Chen Meng’er save his mother.
“Thank you.” Qu Haoqiang nodded at Yuwen Jing. Then, he turned to Chen Meng’er and said, “Meng’er, then I won’t disturb you and Yuwen Jing’s dinner. If you have any news, please tell me immediately.” Although, at that time, when his father divorced his mother, he stood firmly on his father’s side, breaking his mother’s heart.
He did this not because he did not love his mother, but because his mother’s actions hurt his heart so much that he could not convince himself to stand on his mother’s side. However, his mother was still his mother.
He heard the news that his mother had been kidnapped and was in danger. He really could not sit back and do nothing.
“Don’t worry. If there’s any news, I will inform you immediately,” Chen Meng’er promised.
“Then I’ll be leaving first.” Qu Haoqiang still had a discerning eye. He had obviously barged in and disturbed Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing’s date. Therefore, once he had finished talking about official business, he did not have the cheek to stand there and disturb the other party.
Yuwen Jing really wanted Qu Haoqiang to leave, however, for the sake of cordiality, he politely said, “We haven’t started eating yet. Why don’t you stay and eat with us?” Yuwen Jing did not want Qu Haoqiang to stay and eat with them from the bottom of his heart, he was just being polite. Of course, if Qu Haoqiang stayed because of his words, he wouldn’t give Qu Haoqiang much respect.
Fortunately, Qu Haoqiang was quite tactful, he hurriedly shook his head and said, “No, I still have something to do. I happened to see Meng’er just now, so I chased after her. Since I’ve finished talking to Meng’er, then I should go and do my thing. I’ll leave first. Meng’er, call me later.”
“Okay.” Chen Meng’er did not say anything to stop Qu Haoqiang.
After Qu Haoqiang left, Chen Meng’er looked at Yuwen Jing who was sitting opposite her. Suddenly, she smiled.
Yuwen Jing admitted that in this world, no one’s smile had Chen Meng’er’s beauty. Chen Meng’er’s smile made Yuwen Jing’s heart melt. However, regarding Chen Meng’er’s sudden smile, Yuwen Jing was at a loss. “Meng’er, what are you smiling about? Tell me and let me have fun with you.”
“Are you sure that if I tell you, you’ll laugh?” Chen Meng’er asked with a smile.
“Let’s see.” Yuwen Jing was interested.
“Fine. It’s because you clearly don’t want my cousin to stay. You think he’s interrupting our date. But, you actually spoke politely because he’s my cousin. I just thought that if my cousin couldn’t read the room, he would have stayed the moment you asked him to stay for dinner. What kind of expression would you have then? I can’t help but want to laugh.” Chen Meng’er thought, if Qu Haoqiang really stayed to have dinner with them, Yuwen Jing’s expression would be especially interesting.
