Wei Yuntong hurriedly looked towards the direction she was pointing at.
She had never seen Huo Jinyan in person, but she had seen photos of him.
In the flesh, he looked even more breathtaking. Other than him, no one else could compare.
“I think… it is!”
Wei Yuntong was also stupefied.
If Wei Mengxuan wouldn’t even take a single step into this place, why would Huo Jinyan be here?
“And beside him…
The two of them looked at the girl spoon-feeding Huo Jinyan. Her eyes were shapely, and her facial features were intricate. There was almost nothing imperfect about her face, and even her skin was fair and rosy.
Wei Mengxuan pinched her own cheeks in envy.
Seeing that she was about to walk over, Wei Yuntong frantically tugged Wei
Mengxuan. “Where are you going?”
Lost in adulation, Wei Mengxuan muttered, “I want to ask her how she takes care of her skin.’
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Wei Yuntong looked at her and held her back. “Wait, wait! Didn’t you see a child with them?”
“A child?” Wei Mengxuan immediately squinted to take another look.
There really was one; more importantly, upon closer inspection, this child looked quite similar to that girl.
Wei Yuntong looked over the three of them, and then at Huo Jinyan, who was still smiling.
Wei Mengxuan had also noticed it.
The two of them exchanged terrified looks with each other, as if realizing something outrageous.
Her wits still about her, Wei Yuntong whispered, “No way, isn’t Huo Jinyan single? Old Master Huo also seemed to have arranged for the Zhou family’s Young Mistress to meet him.”
In the next moment, Wei Mengxuan rapped her on the head. “What do you know? It’s possible to get married in secret. Huo Jinyan hasn’t been in the capital for a few months, right? So he’s gone missing. I’ve heard that even Old
Master Huo doesn’t know where he went.”
Wei Yuntong looked in their direction. The child seemed to be a boy, about five or six years old.
“For a few months? You can’t have a child that old in such a short time.’
“Tch, I can’t believe you’re really that dumb! It might have been many years since they had their marriage in secret. Seems like even the Old Master doesn’t know.”
Lowering her head, Wei Yuntong did some calculations. “That can’t be right either. If the child is five, then Huo Jinyan would only be eighteen or nineteen years old when he was born. He won’t even be old enough to get married.��
Wei Mengxuan was also dumbfounded when she heard this, but then she thought of something even more appalling!
“It can’t be!”
Wei Yuntong hurriedly covered her mouth.
“Lower your voice! You want Huo Jinyan to know about you? If that’s really the case, he definitely wouldn’t want anyone to know that he’s been hiding it for so long. Do you want to be silenced?”
Wei Mengxuan hurriedly pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Only then, did Wei Yuntong let her go. Unexpectedly, as soon as she let go of Wei Mengxuan, she whipped out her phone, took two steps forward, and started snapping photos of Huo Jinyan, Lu Ning, and Lu Jingzhi from the back. She looked like a paparazzo on the run.
Wei Yuntong grabbed her in a panic.
“Oh my god! Are you tired of living?!”
Looking at the photos on her phone, Wei Mengxuan grinned in satisfaction. “I need evidence. If Huo Jinyan finds out about me, at the least I’ll still have some bargaining chips.”
Wei Yuntong dragged her off in the opposite direction. “Bargaining chips? You’ll probably be done in by then. What’ll even be left to negotiate?”
When Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi were almost done eating, they prepared to return to the hotel.
“Where are you headed?” Lu Ning turned to look at Huo Jinyan. “Back to the hotel.”
“I’ll send you there.”
In a heartbeat, Lu Jingzhi raised his hand. “No!”
Huo Jinyan looked down towards him.
Lu Jingzhi stared back defiantly, unwilling to admit defeat.
Lu Ning glanced at the car driving over from not far away. “Our car is here. We won’t trouble you, Teacher Huo.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Lu Jingzhi over, opened the car door and got in. She did not even wait for the chauffeur from Tujing to get out..
