The white porcelain bowl was filled to the brim with red chilli peppers, and the sound of hot oil crackling could be heard. The Lady Boss took special care of the medical personnel, and after recognizing Qin Si Nian, she had even specially brought two plates of cold vegetables.
Song Jia Ren sat in front of them and intimately scooped out the chili and hemp peppers with the spoon.
Sang Xiao Yu inadvertently raised her head and saw the pair of beautiful apricot eyes staring at her, her gaze filled with an unconcealable infatuation, the cup in her hand gradually tightening.
The small plate in front of him now had a piece of tender white fish that he had already picked out. Qin Si Nian looked at her with his peach blossom eyes and scolded her lazily, "What are you doing, don't eat!"
"Oh!" Sang Xiao Yu came back to reality and stuffed the fish into her mouth.
The meat was fresh and tender. It melted in her mouth and the tingling taste lingered on the tip of her tongue. She couldn't help but eat two more mouthfuls of the rice.
Song Jia Ren, who was sitting opposite him, was also swallowing the food in his mouth as he laughed, "Oh right, Si Nian, do you remember the library that we frequent at Columbia University? The fellow Chinese who is the caretaker! "
"Yeah, every weekend, he's always been kind enough to help me take a spot." Qin Si Nian nodded.
Song Jia Ren continued, smiling, "He is already married, and has finally gotten his wish to marry a golden-haired, blue-eyed beauty. I even received a call from him last night, saying that his wife has already given him a mixed blood baby!"
"Not bad, you deserve to be congratulated!" Qin Si Nian smiled, but glanced to the side from the corner of his eyes.
Sang Xiao Yu understood the meaning behind his words, and dryly drank from her cup.
Song Jia Ren continued to say something she did not pay attention to, but when she heard the phone ringing, it came from the side, Qin Si Nian interrupted the former: "Sorry, I need to answer a call!"
The time of the call was very short. After hanging up, Qin Si Nian frowned.
Seeing his expression turn serious, Sang Xiao Yu guessed that it was probably the call from the courtyard. Just as she was about to ask, there was someone who moved ahead of her.
"Si Nian, what's wrong?"
After Qin Si Nian heard this, he put down his cell phone and answered, "An urgent patient has just been transferred from Lin County to the hospital. He needs to undergo heart surgery immediately, and there's only one doctor on duty at noon in the department. I have to go back!"
"Then quickly go back!" Song Jia Ren quickly expressed, then looked at her, and laughed: "Being a doctor is truly hard, Si Nian, you don't have to worry about us, just me and Miss Sang will continue eating!"
"Yes." Qin Si Nian nodded his head, as if the courtyard was truly urgent. He didn't even have time to eat half a bowl of rice left in his bowl before he stood up from his chair.
Sang Xiao Yu only felt a grasp on his shoulder.
He looked up and saw that he had taken out his wallet from his pants and placed it in front of her. She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Come here, my beautiful woman, this meal should be left to us. I'll return to the hospital first, Mrs. Qin, you go settle the bill later!"
Such a simple sentence was putting them together.
"Alright!" Sang Xiao Yu's tense heart slightly relaxed.
Qin Si Nian retracted the strength in his hands a few times, then took his phone and quickly walked out of the dining hall. Through the window, he could see the tall and straight figure quickly passing through the zebra crossing under the sunlight, and quickly disappearing into the hospital building.
When Sang Xiao Yu retracted her gaze, she saw Song Jia Ren still looking out of the window, without blinking.
After a while, he seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He quickly turned around and gave her an embarrassed smile.
Sang Xiao Yu forced out a smile in response, but it was a bit dry. After Qin Si Nian left, there were only the two of them left on the table.
She thought that after Qin Si Nian left, in less than two minutes, Song Jia Ren would also find a reason to leave. This was because in her opinion, the only person wanted to have lunch with was Qin Si Nian.
Only, he never expected Song Jia Ren to not move, and continued to eat calmly.
Sang Xiao Yu had no appetite ever since she sat down, and really wanted to end it quickly. From time to time, she would peek at the watch on her wrist from the corner of her eye, and when she finally saw Song Jia Ren wiping her mouth with a tissue, she quickly put down her chopsticks.
He remembered Qin Si Nian's orders when he left and wanted to call the waiter to settle the bill.
Just as she was about to get up, Song Jia Ren suddenly called out to her, "Miss Sang!"
Hearing that, Sang Xiao Yu looked over in confusion.
Seeing Song Jia Ren give her a slight smile, she opened her mouth and spoke sincerely, "To be honest, when I just returned home and met you for the first time, I was very jealous of you!"
"…" Sang Xiao Yu frowned, she did not know what to say.
"However, now that I know that I have misunderstood, I shouldn't be envious of you, but should instead be grateful to you!" Song Jia Ren immediately followed.
Sang Xiao Yu was startled, she scratched her head: "Thank me?"
After that, she saw Song Jia Ren nod his head and reached across the table to grab the hand she placed on the table. The temperature was a little cold, as though Sang Xiao Yu was struck by ice, even his heart dropped in an instant.
Somehow, she began to feel uneasy.
Song Jia Ren revealed a smile, and looked at her with an extremely sincere gaze. "Thank you for accompanying Si Nian during my four years of absence. I know that you two are only an agreed marriage!"
Hearing his last sentence, Sang Xiao Yu shook violently.
"Why are you …" She opened her mouth, shocked beyond words.
Shocked that Song Jia Ren knew about the marriage agreement, there was only one possibility …
Sang Xiao Yu curled her fingertips and tightly gripped her palm. When she heard her own voice, it was as if she had gone out of tune, "Did he tell you?"
Song Jia Ren's expression slightly froze. She had completely overheard this matter last time in the barber shop, and after hesitating for a bit, she chose not to directly face them and asked in a soft voice, "Miss Sang, this isn't important, is it?"
Sang Xiao Yu's breathing froze, and she felt her entire body stiffen on the chair.
Yeah, that's not important...
She could only stare at Song Jia Ren with a wooden face, looking at her pair of beautiful apricot eyes that was filled with tenderness and love, "I knew Si Nian when we were fifteen years old, when he was still in high school, he was not recognized by the Qin family as a child. After we graduated from high school, I accompanied him to study abroad, and we never separated!"
"Until I chose to stay in the New York four years ago and didn't return with him!"
"However, I had an agreement with him for four years. At the beginning, I thought he was angry at me, but it seems that he really wouldn't forgive me. However, it turns out that he was always at his original location …"
After saying that, Song Jia Ren suddenly released her hand, and extended towards the man's wallet that was placed at the side.
