Leng Yan coldly glanced at Huang Jinhong, "Idiot."
"Hey, hey, Leng Yan, watch your words. How am I an idiot? I was just looking out for you because I saw you were interested in the junior girl, so I decided to help you out. But I didn’t expect that the junior girl wouldn’t even give you a second glance. You’re a hotshot from Beijing University—how could she resist? Is she playing hard to get, or does she already have someone in her heart?" Right after the junior girl answered that phone call, her previously indifferent expression immediately softened. She might really have someone in her heart.
"Hey, do you think... that phone call just now was from her sugar daddy?" Huang Jinhong stroked his chin and speculated.
Leng Yan frowned at Huang Jinhong, "What are you blabbering about?"
"I’m not blabbering. You know Liu Wan as well as I do. The person in that Mercedes who didn’t get out might very well be the junior girl’s sugar daddy."
Everyone says Qin Qin comes from a poor family and is trying to rise above her station. It’s not uncommon for college students to become someone’s mistress nowadays, and he didn’t find it strange.
Leng Yan’s gaze drifted into the distance, deep and thoughtful, "She’s not that kind of person."
Instinct told Leng Yan that Qin Qin wasn’t like that. He inexplicably felt she just wasn’t that kind of person.
"You couldn’t possibly have really fallen for the junior girl!" Huang Jinhong, who had been joking, suddenly turned serious. He and Leng Yan had always been friends, yet he had never seen Leng Yan take someone so seriously before.
Leng Yan glanced at Huang Jinhong and started the car, "Are you bored? Want me to call you a few girlfriends?"
"No, no, no, don’t be so cruel. Am I wrong just because I said you’ve fallen for the junior girl? Do you have to frame your brother ?" Huang Jinhong was truly scared of Leng Yan. Every time he used that excuse, it always put him on edge. If those girlfriends of his got together, they’d be loud enough to make his ears ring. One of these days he needed to break up and find someone more docile.
"Let’s go, where shall we eat today? How about Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance? The last time I went there with my family, I was left craving more; the food tasted amazing. Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance has only been open for a month or two, but business is booming. They’re packed every time. I wonder if we’ll be able to get a table when we arrive."
"What’s wrong?" Pushing the man off of her, Qin Qin asked with a smile. These past few days, due to the start of the school year, she hadn’t had the opportunity to spend quality time with Mo Yunchen.
Mo Yunchen stared intently at Qin Qin, "Keep your distance from Leng Yan and the others."
As if the Leng Family dared to covet his woman. Unthinkable.
"Who?!" Qin Qin didn’t catch on immediately, but then she burst into laughter. "Come on, you’re not eating vinegar over this, are you? I don’t even know them."
Hearing Qin Qin say she didn’t know them, Mo Yunchen’s brooding face relaxed a bit.
Qin Qin stifled the urge to laugh out loud and looked inside the car, "How come you’re driving this one?"
Had he not called her, she wouldn’t have known he’d come in a Mercedes.
This question caused Mo Yunchen’s expression, which had just softened, to harden again, "You said so."
"I said so? When did I say that?" She couldn’t remember ever having said such a thing.
Seeing Qin Qin denying it, Mo Yunchen narrowed his eyes, "You said you didn’t want to be flashy. Am I so unacceptable to be seen with?"
Who else but him would suffer in love being so cautious about getting together, worried about being disliked? If others found out, they wouldn’t believe it—that the head of Mo’s family had to date in secret.
Qin Qin bowed her head, pretending to cough twice. So that was the reason; she had complained that Mo Yunchen’s Rolls-Royce Phantom was too eye-catching. Between the car and its ostentatious license plate, it was hard for her to keep a low profile no matter what.
"Alright, alright, I haven’t complained about you. Why should we put our private affairs on display for others to see, right? You’re hungry, aren’t you? Let’s go eat." Hugging Mo Yunchen’s arm, Qin Qin spoke endearingly.
Mo Yunchen glanced at Qin Qin, and seeing her coquettish behavior, he responded, "Hmm!"
Seeing that his anger had subsided, Qin Qin chuckled internally. Who said Mo Yunchen had a bad temper? He was quite easy to appease, after all.
At the dinner table, Qin Qin knew that Mo Yunchen had some lingering complaints. She held back a laugh while serving food into Mo Yunchen’s bowl and only began to eat with a smile after she saw his mood soften.
It was seven in the evening by the time they finished their meal. The sky had already started to darken. Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen left the restaurant, and after they had gone, a slender figure emerged, looking perplexedly in the direction of the departing Mercedes.
