As Ziyue heord those words, she smiled.

Suddenly, her phone rong ond obrupted the conversotion.

She gove on opologetic smile to Shichu ond picked up the phone. The coller on the line wos Mr. Qin.

Before Ziyue could greet him, Qin interrupted. "Why oren't you bock yet?"

"I'll be bock soon." Ziyue whispered.

Qin sensed thot Ziyue wos omongst compony. He osked, "Who ore you with?"

"I..." Mumbled Ziyue with hesitotion. In the end, she confessed thot Shichu wos with her. Qin interrupted, "I'll pick you up."

He hung up the phone immediotely.

She felt helpless ond put down her phone.

Shichu osked, "Wos thot Qin?"

"Well, none other thon him," Ziyue confirmed.

Lin Zixi roised his heod. He wos busy enjoying o meol before overheoring Mr. Qin's nome. "Dod," he soid.

"Dod soid to pick us up loter," soid Ziyue soid. She took o tissue ond wiped owoy o grovy spot on his chin.

Lin Zixi stoyed still os she did so.

"Since Mr. Qin will be picking you up, I'll toke my leove first." Shichu soid os he stood up. "I'll contoct you loter."

"Doctor, why ore you in such o hurry?" Mr. Qin soid os he wolked closer to them. "You rorely meet Ziyue. Since you're here, why don't you stoy os o guest, ond we'll hove lunch together."

Ziyue wos surprised by his presence. She turned oround ond found Mr. Qin stonding behind her.

Mr. Qin's eyes met hers, ond there wos o coldness in them. He wolked closer ond sot himself beside her on the couch.

Mr. Qin sot o little too close for her liking. She moved towords Lin Zixi on her side but wos stopped by his orm.

His orm held onto Ziyue, which restricted her movement on the couch. Ziyue pondered if Mr. Qin hod fully heoled since he looked fine.

"Mr. Qin, I didn't expect you to orrive so soon," Shichu soid with o smile. He sot down ogoin on the couch.

"I just hoppened to be oround, so I stopped by." Mr. Qin soid. He wropped his orm oround Ziyue's woist ond stored ot Shichu with o blonk expression. As Ziyue heard those words, she smiled.

Suddenly, her phone rang and abrupted the conversation.

She gave an apologetic smile to Shichu and picked up the phone. The caller on the line was Mr. Qin.

Before Ziyue could greet him, Qin interrupted. "Why aren't you back yet?"

"I'll be back soon." Ziyue whispered.

Qin sensed that Ziyue was amongst company. He asked, "Who are you with?"

"I..." Mumbled Ziyue with hesitation. In the end, she confessed that Shichu was with her. Qin interrupted, "I'll pick you up."

He hung up the phone immediately.

She felt helpless and put down her phone.

Shichu asked, "Was that Qin?"

"Well, none other than him," Ziyue confirmed.

Lin Zixi raised his head. He was busy enjoying a meal before overhearing Mr. Qin's name. "Dad," he said.

"Dad said to pick us up later," said Ziyue said. She took a tissue and wiped away a gravy spot on his chin.

Lin Zixi stayed still as she did so.

"Since Mr. Qin will be picking you up, I'll take my leave first." Shichu said as he stood up. "I'll contact you later."

"Doctor, why are you in such a hurry?" Mr. Qin said as he walked closer to them. "You rarely meet Ziyue. Since you're here, why don't you stay as a guest, and we'll have lunch together."

Ziyue was surprised by his presence. She turned around and found Mr. Qin standing behind her.

Mr. Qin's eyes met hers, and there was a coldness in them. He walked closer and sat himself beside her on the couch.

Mr. Qin sat a little too close for her liking. She moved towards Lin Zixi on her side but was stopped by his arm.

His arm held onto Ziyue, which restricted her movement on the couch. Ziyue pondered if Mr. Qin had fully healed since he looked fine.

"Mr. Qin, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon," Shichu said with a smile. He sat down again on the couch.

"I just happened to be around, so I stopped by." Mr. Qin said. He wrapped his arm around Ziyue's waist and stared at Shichu with a blank expression.

Mr. Qin had never been agreeable with Shichu. The dinner invitation was for Ziyue's benefit and not his...

Ziyue sensed Mr. Qin's displeasure over Shishu. Although he was trying his best to act civil, she felt his body language displaying otherwise.

Furthermore, Ziyue did not mention anything about their current whereabouts. So, how was it possible he arrived at the location so quickly?

With Shichu around, she had to save the questioning for later.

The waiter arrived with the menu. Since there were a few people around, the food was served quickly.

It was still eleven o'clock.

Ziyue served Mr. Qin's dishes with disdain as she sensed his irritation.

Mr. Qin noticed Ziyue's change in attitude. He pointed at the dishes and ordered, "Scoop those vegetables for me and debone the fish, and..."

Ziyue simply followed his orders.

The spicy beef dish caught Shichu's eye. "I remembered these are your favorite," Shichu said as he plated some for Ziyue.

"Why thank..."

Before she could finish thanking him, Mr. Qin grabbed the piece of meat with his chopsticks. "Unfortunately, I like them more."

As he said this, Mr. Qin ate the beef with haste.

Ziyue realized this and fished out a tissue. "You can't eat spicy food. Spit it out."

Mr. Qin was pleased he caught her attention and laughed. "I can have it now and then. It's fine."

She turned over to Shichu and said, "Don't mind him. He likes to make a fuss."

Ziyue sounded more like she was pointing out a fact instead of apologizing on Mr. Qin's behalf.

Shichu forced a smile and said, "It's okay."

Until now did Ziyue realize that Mr. Qin wanted to eat with Shichu.

After that, Mr. Qin did not instruct Ziyue to bring him food from the table.

Shichu grimaced. Ziyue asked a few questions, but she was apprehensive about Mr. Qin. Thankfully, the dinner was quickly finished. Shichu hastily left after finishing his meal, claiming to be preoccupied with work.

Mr. Qin had never been agreeable with Shichu. The dinner invitation was for Ziyue's benefit and not his...

On the way out, she disregarded Mr. Qin. Ziyue gave Lin Zixi a hug before leaving.

It was unusually gloomy in the vehicle.

Back in the villa, Ziyue was seen walking out with Lin Zixi in her arms. Mr. Qin couldn't bear the silence and grabbed her. "Aren't you angry?"

Ziyue didn't struggle. She whispered, "Let go, Zixi is taking a nap."

Mr. Qin called a servant over to take Zixi away.

As they did, Mr. Qin was persistent not to let go of Ziyue.

Ziyue finally imploded, "Why does this interest you? Shichu is my friend, and I treat him like a brother. I can't believe you would even suspect a thing! You are willing to embarrass me in the middle of the day! I promised to see Lin Enxue, and you know well they are always at the hospital! Of course I would bump into Shichu! He's a doctor!"

She would be a complete fool if she could still understand Mr. Qin's thoughts at this point.

Mr. Qin had a cold look on his face. "You are willing to quarrel on behalf of other men?"

"Don't change the subject." Mr. Qin is consistently in this manner, always changing the subject.

Mr. Qin grunted with displeasure, "What I'm talking about now is relevant to the subject."

"The key issue is that you believe Shichu and I aren't being clear, don't you? By the way, you didn't go there; you simply went there on purpose! Why are you always hiding something? Why don't you say what you are thinking?"

So, this is what Ziyue is angry about.

Shichu holds a significant place in her heart as well. Mr. Qin's statements were obviously provoking Shichu, but since they were both back to being innocent, she needed to face Shichu in the future, which made Shichu reflect.

Mr. Qin's expression turned completely cold. "Do you know that he has no other thoughts about you?"

Ziyue pushed him away. "What possibly could he think of me? He and I go back more than twenty years. He is my brother in my eyes. Never have we deviated from the usual. Are you distrustful? What?"
