At this moment, she felt as though she was reborn, finding the whole world beautiful and everyone pleasing to the eye.
Stepping out of the hospital, Rong Mingyan said indifferently, "Wait here for me, I’ll go bring the car around."
"No need, someone is coming to pick me up."
He arched an eyebrow, following her gaze, to see a black Mercedes glide up, coming to a slow stop in front of them.
And the person inside the car was none other than Qiao Yiyang.
A flicker of confusion crossed Rong Mingyan’s eyes—what on earth was Lin Xinlan up to?
Upon seeing Lin Xinlan, Qiao Yiyang couldn’t help but smile.
Earlier, she had called him, asking him to wait for her outside this hospital, and he had arrived early, waiting for over an hour without seeing her.
He thought she had tricked him and was about to call her when he saw her coming out, so he hurriedly drove the car over.
As he got out of the car, he saw the child she was holding in her arms, which sparked curiosity in him, yet nothing showed on his face.
"Mingyan, what are you doing here?" He walked over, smiling as he greeted them.
Rong Mingyan looked at Lin Xinlan, waiting for her response.
Lin Xinlan held the child close and said indifferently, "I have something to say to both of you, let’s find a restaurant and talk leisurely while sitting down."
Qiao Yiyang’s eyebrows twitched slightly, thinking that Lin Xinlan was about to discuss the matter she mentioned last time.
Excitement stirred in his heart; as long as he met her demands, she would date him.
He had longed for this moment for quite some time.
"Let’s go, I know of a nice restaurant," said Qiao Yiyang with a smile. He never asked her about the child in her arms.
But he would know the answer soon, and he chose not to ask just yet, waiting for her to disclose it.
Rong Mingyan didn’t ask either; he was also waiting for Lin Xinlan to speak up, his intuition telling him that Lin Xinlan must have prepared some sort of plan.
Qiao Yiyang took them to a decent restaurant and even requested a private room.
Lin Xinlan took out several hundred yuan and said to the waitress, "Could you please go to the nearby KFC and buy some food for me? Keep the change as a tip."
The waitress was naturally willing to serve her: "May I ask what would you like to purchase?"
Lin Xinlan listed some items, and the waitress took the money and left.
Xiaocong leaned against her and asked with curiosity, "Mom, isn’t that a prize? Why do we have to pay for it?"
Qiao Yiyang’s expression shook, his gaze turning to Xiaocong unguardedly.
Lin Xinlan ignored his reaction and bent her head to smile at Xiaocong, "The prizes are too few, not enough for the two of us, so mom asked the auntie to help us buy some more."
"Oh, I see. Are the two uncles going to eat as well?" he asked innocently.
Lin Xinlan nodded, "Yes, they’re going to eat too."
Rong Mingyan lifted the teacup with a calm demeanor and took a sip.
Qiao Yiyang’s deep eyes fixated on Xiaocong, discerning his features. His gaze darkened increasingly, gathering into a storm.
His grip on the cup tightened imperceptibly, his entire body tense as he struggled to restrain a certain emotion.
Finally, Lin Xinlan met his gaze, her look tranquil, saying not a word.
Qiao Yiyang held back for a moment before asking in a deep voice, "Is he your child?"
"You have a child?" His voice went deeper, more suppressed, revealing his anger at that moment.
He didn’t know why he was angry.
Perhaps it was because she had deceived him, or maybe it was resentment that she had a child with another man!
