After all, this restaurant was extraordinarily expensive, and a meal here could easily cost a five -figure sum.
âItâs alright. I can afford it.â Qin Hongyu was afraid that she wouldnât believe him, so he added, âReally, trust me.â
Li Yinian smiled and said, âOkay, my treat next time.â
âThereâs going to be a next timeâ¦â Qin Hongyu was going to faint again.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps.
Li Yinian turned around and said, âJinchen, Jinqing, why are you two here?â
She then opened her arms and let the two kids hug her.
However, the two kids suddenly yelled, âMom!â
Li Yinian was dazed, and so was Qin Hongyu.
âMom, why are you here?â Jinqing hugged her arm and said. âDad said youâre going to abandon your husband and children. Is that true?â
âDonât you want us anymore, Mom?â Jinchen blinked.
Li Yinian didnât have time to explain. She looked up and saw Qiao Yanze standing there with his hands crossed. The man looked cold, but his lips were curled into a sneer.
She bit her lips and forced a smile, âJinqing, Jinchen, go back to Uncle Qiao first.â
Jinqing shook her arm and said, âArenât you coming back with us?â
Jinchen looked at Qin Hongyu and asked, âUncle, can you return Mom to us?â
Qin Hongyu finally came back to reality and stammered, âOf⦠Of course⦠Um, Iâll pay the bill first.â
He then stood up and rushed to the cashier.
Li Yinian smiled bitterly and looked at the two kids. âYou guysâ¦â
âSorry, Aunt Li,â Jinqing said. âBut Uncle Qiao is so pitiful.â
âI swear Iâll only help him this once.â Jinchen raised a finger.
Li Yinian wouldnât argue with the two kids. She smiled and stroked their heads, indicating that she wouldnât mind.
Even if she held a grudge, it would only be against Qiao Yanze.
Qiao Yanze walked over with one hand in his pocket. His tall body and cold face made him look very oppressive.
âWhy? Did your date run away?â He sneered.
Li Yinian said calmly, âHeâs just paying the bill.â
âReally? I want to see if he still has the guts to come back.â Qiao Yanzeâs eyes dimmed. âLi Yinian, you better be throwing a tantrum at me, otherwiseâ¦â
If that woman thought he was getting engaged and found a man to anger him, he would let her off this time.
âIâm serious.â Li Yinian looked at him. âQiao Yanze, I officially announce that weâre done. Please donât disturb me anymore.â
âYouâ¦â Qiao Yanzeâs expression changed.
âAre you going to do the same thing again?â She smiled. âIf you want to ban me, please go ahead. Iâll quit the entertainment industryâ¦â
âWhy did you quit the entertainment world? Get married and be a good wife and mother?â Qiao Yanze clenched his fist and stared at her. âLi Yinian, dream on.â
âYou scared them,â Li Yinian said and smiled at the two kids. âWhy donât Auntie Li send you home?â
âOf course theyâll come home with me.â Qiao Yanze stared at her coldly. âYou too.â
