"..." Lin Qing looked at his little face with depression, not knowing who he resembled more in this personality.
As soon as you enter Huayu Restaurant, you can feel the strong British atmosphere. It seems that the other party is also thoughtful. When the little guy smelled the familiar fragrance, his frowned eyebrows reluctantly relaxed.
Having just received a call from the other party, Lin Qing held his son's hand and looked around, finally settling on a seat by the window.
The waiter came over at this time, smiling just the right amount: "How many people are there?"
Lin Qing retracted his gaze and curved his thin lips slightly: "The seat has been reserved." After that, he took Chengcheng over.
Chengcheng was still unhappy and deliberately walked in a careless manner, rubbing his shiny little leather shoes against the floor.
He wanted to attract Mommy's attention, but Mommy obviously saw through his trick and ignored him. Chengcheng was very dissatisfied and tilted his head and accidentally bumped into the person sitting next to him.
The man stood up while talking on the phone, looking absent-minded. Suddenly, his long legs were bumped, not lightly or heavily, but it made his heart tremble.
Cheng Cheng rubbed his aching little head, raised his head and said in a baby voice: "Uncle, I'm sorry."
The man didn't pay attention to this, his black eyes were cold, and his handsome face was as cold as ice. He didn't seem to hear Cheng Cheng's apology, nor did he care, and he was about to walk away.
Only then did Lin Qing notice the movement behind her. She turned around and pulled Chengcheng into her arms. She wanted to apologize on Chengcheng's behalf again, but she could only see the man's back.
The word "apology" was stuck in her throat. Lin Qing's back was visibly stiff. She tightened her arms to protect Chengcheng. She stared at the man's figure and was dazed for a moment.
That name had rolled in my throat countless times in my dreams, but it took a long time for it to subside in my heart.
is it him
Maybe it's an illusion.
Cheng Cheng was hugged too tightly by her mommy, and she twisted her body: "Mommy, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Qing came back to her senses, lowered her head and smiled at Cheng Cheng: "It's okay, Mommy is thinking about what delicious food to give you."
Cheng Cheng then forgave her mommy for meeting other uncles and took the initiative to grab Lin Qing's finger: "Cheng Cheng wants to eat oranges today."
Lin Qing raised her eyes slightly, and her soft voice was like a breeze blowing across her heart: "Okay, Mommy will buy you some oranges."
Lin Qing turned around with Cheng Cheng, but didn't notice that the man holding the phone paused and suddenly turned back.
Lin Qing had already led Chengcheng to a seat. The man looked around but still couldn't find the owner of the voice.
Maybe it's just an illusion.
The man hung up the phone and was about to leave when he saw a figure flashing in from the door. Ling An Nan waved at the man and said, "Hey, you're leaving before I even get here. Is that good enough?"
Mu Li's gaze swept across him coldly, his eyebrows slightly raised without saying a word, and he sat down with Ling An Nan in the same position as before.
Ling An Nan ordered a glass of wine and saw a half-drunk cup of black coffee on the table: "You are addicted to this now."
Mu Li curled his lips coldly: "If I stand you up, I'll get addicted."
He was not in a good mood today. No, Ling An Nan could see that he had not been in a good mood in the past five years.
Although the two have been playmates since childhood, it has been almost ten years since they last saw Mu Li. When they met again, she realized that he had been hurt so badly by love.
When love is deep, it can turn bones into ashes.
Ling Annan still remembers the day he returned home. He kicked the driver out of the car and drove home himself. He saw Mu Li's car less than a kilometer away from the airport. He recognized the license plate number. Mu Li drove that car to take him abroad.
Ling An Nan proudly lowered the car window and wanted to say hello, but Mu Li drove too fast and hit his car when trying to avoid him.
He was unable to dodge and the two cars collided. When he woke up, he was already in the hospital. Later, he learned that Mu Li was racing to meet a woman, and that woman never showed up again.
Ling Annan never heard anything about that woman from Mu Li again.
Looking back, another woman also left Mu Li and went abroad that year, but Mu Li didn't act like this then.
After returning to China, he had heard some rumors about Mu Li, and knew the cause and effect. In short, it was just one word: fate had not arrived yet.
Mu Li used the delicate little spoon to stir the coffee that had already cooled down. This restaurant had only been open for two or three years and had a nice atmosphere, but he had no chance to take that person with him, even to just sit down and have a cup of coffee.
There are sofas near the windows. The sofa backs are very high, almost completely blocking people. Mu Li has his back to the rear and naturally cannot see. The woman is actually less than ten meters away from him.
Chengcheng sat there very obediently, playing with the Rubik's Cube given to him by an unknown uncle, but he couldn't solve it no matter how hard he tried.
Seeing that he was so obedient, the unknown uncle felt relieved and focused all his energy on the woman opposite.
“How many years have you studied abroad?”
"Yeah. Two years."
"You just joined Tianlan Group?"
"Yeah, two days ago."
"Do you mind living with my parents after you get married?"
Lin Qing raised his eyes slightly, but there was no smile: "Mind."
The unknown uncle's smiling face darkened a little.
"It's not easy for you to marry into our family with a child. If my parents want to take care of the child more, what's wrong with living together?"
Lin Qing was not annoyed. He patted his son's head. His son was obviously arguing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand: "I didn't ask you to marry me. If you can't accept it, then don't talk about it."
The unknown uncle looked very unhappy.
"You brought a child who came out of nowhere to a blind date. I will have to support him, and you are still so arrogant. Don't you look at yourself? You don't have the capital to be arrogant."
As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter brought the drinks and looked at them strangely. Lin Qing said thank you without changing his expression.
When she decided to give birth to Chengcheng, she had anticipated what she would face today. These words from the man meant nothing to her.
But she was worried that Chengcheng would feel bad after hearing it.
But Chengcheng's attention was all on the Rubik's Cube, and he didn't hear a word the unknown uncle said.
Only then did Lin Qing raise her head, her cold eyes staring straight at the man, her words not deliberately hurtful: "What about you? Since you have such impressive capital, why bother to come on a blind date?"
She was neither happy nor sad, and her voice was as light as the breeze, but the man's face turned pale.
"Lin Qing, you just relied on your fame in the past few years abroad and now you bring a child back. Who knows where you got this child? Our family will accept this child, which is already a face for you." The man never thought of what he said, and the more unpleasant his words became, the more Lin Qing's eyes darkened.
No one would marry such a person even if they were offered money.
Lin Qing's eyes flashed with ridicule towards the man and helplessness towards her mother. How anxious her mother must be to find such a person for her.
Seeing that Lin Qing did not refute immediately, the man became more arrogant, not caring about maintaining his image: "Don't think I don't know that you and the Mu family also had an unclear relationship back then. Was it because you were involved with someone else at that time that the Mu family didn't want you?"
Lin Qing's fingers holding the cup tightened imperceptibly, her slender fingertips touching the wall of the cup, the temperature of the hot drink burned her heart.
I'm afraid this afternoon tea will be too much for you to handle.
Cheng Cheng heard the unknown uncle's voice suddenly rise, and then he shifted his attention. He didn't understand the meaning of the words, put down the Rubik's Cube and pulled Lin Qing's skirt: "Mommy, what's wrong? Who doesn't want you?"
"Who dares not want me? Be good and go with Mommy first."
Lin Qing's lips curved into a beautiful arc, and she stood up with her son in her arms. Her skirt fluttered slightly, making her look even more graceful and beautiful.
Although this woman is not a stunning beauty, she is eye-catching.
The unknown uncle looked at Lin Qing and was speechless for a moment.
Cheng Cheng followed Lin Qing out of the seat. The man was about to start ridiculing her, but he saw Lin Qing turn around and pick up the cup of hot drink.
It was a pity that she hadn't even taken a sip yet. Thinking of this, Lin Qing turned her wrist and poured the entire glass of orange juice on the man.
"Shit!" The man was suddenly splashed with orange juice, and the orange-yellow liquid soaked through his white shirt. "This is the clothes I just bought!"
Hearing this, Lin Qing said "oh", let go of Cheng Cheng's hand, went to look for her wallet, took out a small stack of money and slapped it on the table: "I'll treat you to afternoon tea, use the remaining money to buy some new clothes, don't lose face for your family."
After that, she had no expression on her face, and walked out holding Cheng Cheng's hand. Cheng Cheng consciously did not take the Rubik's Cube, and he could see that Mommy was angry.
Mu Li had his back to them the whole time, but he could hear their conversation clearly. When the man mentioned Lin Qing, his hand trembled as he stirred the coffee, and he thought, maybe it was a coincidence.
But when that person mentioned the Mu family, Mu Li was 100% sure. Who else was called Lin Qing and related to the Mu family
Hearing the light footsteps approaching slowly, Mu Li's crossed legs could not move. Ling Annan, who was sitting opposite, also heard the conversation just now. Seeing that Mu Li looked strange, he leaned over and glanced at the approaching woman.
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but once he saw it, his eyes were filled with ambiguity: "Oh, this kid looks quite like you."
Mu Li's pupils tightened when he heard that, and when Lin Qing passed by, he just stood up and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Sorry." Lin Qing didn't even look at him. When he was hit, he subconsciously protected Cheng Cheng. After apologizing, he was about to walk away.
"Lin Qing?"
His voice is as deep and seductive as ever.
It has been a long time since I heard him call my name.
Lin Qing then turned to look at the man, looking at the handsome face that he had seen thousands of times in his dreams, his eyes were clear and distant: "Sorry, you recognized the wrong person."
"..." Mu Li's face darkened slightly, and his eyes were somewhat complicated.
They look and sound the same, how could he make a mistake
But Lin Qing didn't react at all when he saw him.
Only then did Mu Li notice that Lin Qing was holding a little boy in his arms, and Chengcheng's clear black eyes were staring at him, as if sizing him up.
Isn’t this the uncle I bumped into just now
Some emotion exploded in Mu Li's eyes. Looking at the little face that looked somewhat like his own, he was speechless for a moment.
Lin Qing immediately understood his expression and thought that he might have already recognized Cheng Cheng as his son.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Lin Qing was about to leave.
Mu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his arm and pulled Lin Qing: "What's your name?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Lin Qing didn't want to get entangled with him, so she slipped her wrist away from his palm. She held Cheng Cheng's hand tightly, with tenderness blooming in the corners of her eyes. "Come on, Mommy will take you to the amusement park."
"Great! I want to go to the water park we saw last time!" Cheng Cheng was so excited that she held her mommy's hand and kept jumping. "Is Dad going there today too?"
Mu Li's face turned cold instantly. Dad
This child is not his
