253. Encounter in the restaurant

Shen Qinglan did have something to discuss with Daniel today, so when she arrived at Daniel’s studio, Daniel was already waiting for him.

“Hey, Daniel, are you surprised to see me?” Jin Enxi walked out from behind Shen Qinglan and greeted Daniel with a smile.

When Daniel saw Jin Enxi, a light flashed in his eyes. After Jin Enxi left, Daniel had never seen her again. He knew that her injuries had healed, but now that he saw her healthy appearance, he really smiled, “Long time no see.”

“Well, it’s been a while. I never thanked you properly for what happened last time.”

“As long as you’re okay, you are Qinglan’s friend. I can still help with this little favor.”

Shen Qinglan handed the painting in his hand to Daniel, “This is a work for the exhibition, please keep it.”

Daniel took it and didn’t open it to look at it. Instead, he opened a room and put the painting in, and then said, “It’s rare to meet each other at noon and have a meal together?”

Shen Qinglan glanced at Daniel meaningfully and nodded, “Okay.”

Naturally, Kim Eun-hee didn’t have any objections.

The three of them left Daniel’s studio and went to a nearby restaurant. “I have been to this restaurant once before. It tastes very good. You can try it.” Daniel said.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, Shen Qinglan saw two familiar figures. Seeing that they were together, Shen Qinglan had to raise her eyebrows.

“Auntie.” Xiao Douding’s eyes lit up when she saw Shen Qinglan. She slid off the chair and ran towards Shen Qinglan. Shen Qinglan squatted down and picked him up, “Auntie, are you here to eat too?”

Shen Qinglan nodded, “Are you going out to eat with your mother?”

“Well, there’s Uncle Jiang.” Xiao Douding said, then he lowered his head and whispered in Shen Qinglan’s ear, “Uncle Jiang is my mother’s friend. He is a nice person. I want Uncle Jiang to be my father.”

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows and walked to Pei Yining’s table with her little bean in her arms. Pei Yining did not expect that she would bump into Shen Qinglan when she came out for a meal. She glanced at Jiang Chenxi opposite, with some discomfort on her face, “Cousin, Chen Xi.”

“Sister-in-law, are you here for dinner with your friends too?” Jiang Chenxi glanced behind Shen Qinglan and asked.

Shen Qinglan nodded, “Well, I’m doing something nearby.”

“Auntie, can I have dinner with you?” Xiao Douding said, winking mischievously at Shen Qinglan from a corner where Pei Yining could not see. A smile flashed in Shen Qinglan’s eyes. This child has been a ghost since he was a child. He does not look like a three-year-old child at all, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at Pei Yining, “Cousin, is that okay?”

Pei Yining had known for a long time that his son liked Shen Qinglan. When he saw Shen Qinglan, could he leave her as his biological mother? Seeing his son looking at her longingly, he nodded helplessly, “Okay, you can take him away, it will save me the trouble of watching.”

Xiaodouding hugged Shen Qinglan’s neck and grinned. Shen Qinglan sat down at a table not far from them. Xiaodouding nestled in Shen Qinglan’s arms and told her about the “pain of lovesickness” after not seeing each other for a while.

“Auntie, why haven’t you come to see Haohao for so long?”

“Because my aunt has something to do during this period and doesn’t have time. Can we come and see Haohao after a while when she is not busy?”

“Auntie, I agreed that the next time I come to see Haohao, it won’t be too long. I will miss you very much. If I can’t see you, I won’t even feel good eating.”

“Okay, now Haohao, is there anything you want to eat?” Shen Qinglan turned to the menu to the end, where are the specialty pastries of this restaurant. Xiao Douding shook his head and touched his belly, “I was full just now, I want to watch my aunt eat.”

After hearing this, Shen Qinglan handed the menu to Jin Enxi, and Jin Enxi gave the menu directly to Daniel. She looked at Shen Qinglan with a strange expression as she patiently coaxed the little guy in her arms.

Xiao Douding noticed that someone was looking at her, looked at Jin Enxi, and grinned at Jin Enxi, “Hello, beautiful sister!”

Jin Enxi burst out laughing, “This little mouth is so sweet.” As he said that, he leaned over slightly and reached out to pinch Little Douding’s chubby little face. Little Douding frowned dissatisfied, “Stop pinching your face, you’re not handsome anymore.”

Jin Enxi smiled even more happily, “Oh, little brat, do you know what handsomeness is?”

“Of course I know. People like me, Uncle Jiang, are handsome.”

Jin Enxi continued to tease Xiao Dou Ding, and Daniel ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu to the waiter, looking sideways at Jin Enxi’s cheerful smile, with a tenderness in his eyes that even he himself did not notice.

When the food was served, Shen Qinglan ate and occasionally fed the little bean sprouts that had been sitting out of her arms.

On the other side, Jiang Chenxi turned away from Shen Qinglan and said, “Yining, Haohao seems to like my sister-in-law very much.”

“Yeah.” Pei Yining sighed helplessly, “I like him more than anything. When I see Qinglan, I don’t need me as my biological mother. The last time Qinglan came to my house, I had to follow Qinglan back home. She refused to listen no matter what I said. I even doubted whether someone had changed the relationship when he was born.”

Jiang Chenxi also smiled, “Sister-in-law…” He paused, “There is indeed a special charm that makes people like her involuntarily. When I first met her, I was actually quite confused about how Heng Yi could marry a girl who is so much younger than him. After a few contacts, I understood.”

Pei Yining smiled proudly, “Of course, the girls in our family are naturally very good. By the way, last time I heard you said that your mother arranged a blind date for you. What was the result? Have you met the person?”

“Yeah, I’ve seen it.”

“Then what?” Pei Yining asked.

Jiang Chenxi looked at her strangely, “What then?”

Pei Yining was speechless, would it be gone like this?Is this what is called death by exposure to light?

“Chen Xi, you are now old enough. It’s time to get married. Look, my sister is already married.”

Jiang Chenxi smiled and said, “Yining, your tone is very similar to my mother’s.”

Pei Yining was speechless and closed his mouth.

“What about you, you care about me so much, why don’t you find one yourself?” Jiang Chenxi asked her.

Pei Yining smiled and said, “You also know my situation. I am busy with work and have to take care of Haohao. I don’t have time to fall in love. And I only have Haohao.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chenxi frowned slightly, “Yining, Haohao will grow up in the future. He will have his own family and his own life. You always have to think about yourself. You are still young now. What will you do when you get old?” After hesitating, Jiang Chenxi continued, “Or have you been waiting for Haohao’s father to come back?”

Pei Yining’s face darkened slightly and she smiled, “We were already over when that man left me and Haohao. I gave birth to Haohao not because I loved him, and I’m not getting married now because I’m still waiting for him. It’s just that I haven’t met the right person yet. When I meet him one day, maybe I will have a flash marriage.”

“Then if Haohao’s father comes back to find you one day, will you forgive him?”

Pei Yining has thought about this hypothesis countless times, from hatred at the beginning, to longing, to disappointment and even despair. Pei Yining shook his head, “No, if he comes back, I will not hide the fact that Haohao is his son, because I cannot deprive Haohao of his right to enjoy his father’s love, but I will not give Haohao to him.”, Haohao is the child I gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy, and I raised him by myself.The biggest concession I can make is to allow Haohao to recognize him.”

Hearing this, a light flashed in Jiang Chenxi’s eyes and he changed the subject, “You are going back to Linshi tomorrow, right?”

“Yes, but I will come back at the end of the month because cousin Jun Yu is getting engaged.”

Jiang Chenxi also received the invitation to Shen Junyu’s engagement party, “I didn’t expect that Jun Yu would be the first among our group to get engaged after Heng Yi.”

“So you have to hurry up.” Pei Yining teased, but Jiang Chenxi smiled and said nothing.

When Pei Yining and the others finished here, Shen Qinglan and the others were still eating. Pei Yining went over and wanted to take Xiaodouding away, but the little guy refused to leave. “Mom, you go on a date with Uncle Jiang. I don’t make light bulbs. I’m with my aunt.”

Pei Yining glared at him. This child was getting more and more outspoken.

“Cousin, please leave Haohao with me for now. I’ll take him back in the afternoon. If you have anything to do, go and do it.” Shen Qinglan said.

Pei Yining did have something else to do in the afternoon. He originally planned to send Xiao Douding home to do things. Since Shen Qinglan said so, she agreed, “Then Haohao, I’ll bother you. You can just leave him to my mother in the afternoon, or I can pick him up in the evening.”

Shen Qinglan nodded, and Xiao Douding waved to his mother, “Mom, hurry up and leave. Uncle Jiang is already waiting for you.”

Pei Yining glanced at his son angrily, turned and left.
