Lan Qingqing turned to glance at Mo Kai Liang, who stood a short distance away. Naturally, he had seen everything. He stood there, motionless, even turning his back to her.
Lan Qingqing found herself at a loss for words. How could she explain everything? She couldn’t possibly say that her fiancé was a fake, that she was the mistress who had intruded on her best friend's marriage, that the man she was having an affair with was her best friend's husband, and that the child she carried was also the child of her best friend's husband. As for the man standing outside, he was actually her best friend's cousin, brought in temporarily to take over.
If she tried to untangle this web of relationships, it would be utterly explosive.
Fortunately, Hou Yi seemed unconcerned about the complexities of the situation. As dishes were served one after another, he began eating without asking any further questions.
Lan Qingqing joined him in eating. The soft melodies of Western music filled the restaurant, where the clientele consisted of high-level successful individuals. Conversations were kept quiet and polite.
She decided not to pay attention to Mo Kai Liang waiting outside any longer. She thought to herself that once they left, she would definitely give him a piece of her mind for ruining the mood!
Before dinner concluded, Hou Yi finished the last sip of his red wine and turned directly to Lan Qingqing. "Next time we meet, think carefully about how you plan to explain things to me."
He pointed towards Mo Kai Liang outside, indicating that this was the explanation he wanted.
With that, Hou Yi stood up. "Since someone is here to pick you up, I won't see you off."
He left the restaurant, and the staff had already brought his car to the entrance. He got in and drove away.
Lan Qingqing sighed quietly. She truly didn’t know how to explain things to Hou Yi. If she wanted to maintain their relationship, she would have to clarify her connection with Mo Kai Liang. But clearly, now was not the right time.
As she stepped out of the restaurant, she walked straight up to Mo Kai Liang. Looking at his simple attire, it was evident that his clothes were brought from the countryside.
She glanced at his little electric scooter behind him; it looked worn out and nearly ready for retirement!
Seeing Mo Kai Liang’s confused and heavy expression, she finally lost control and shouted, "Why did you come here? Who told you I was here? Are you out of your mind? Hou Yi just saw you! You think you can show up looking like this? You're supposed to be a military heir! Look at yourself; even a garbage collector dresses better than you! You've embarrassed me completely!"
Mo Kai Liang looked aggrieved. From the moment Lan Qingqing entered the restaurant until now, he had been holding back a lot of frustration and questions.
His mind was filled with one question that he couldn't hold back any longer: "Who is that scumbag? Why did he kiss you? Doesn’t he know you have a fiancé? He actually kissed you right in front of me! He even looked at me provocatively!"
Lan Qingqing found it laughable. A fake fiancé really thought too highly of himself. She suddenly felt an urge to slap him but restrained herself when she remembered that she would need his help in the future.
"How did you know I was here?" she questioned.
Mo Kai Liang panted heavily, looking even more aggrieved. "I was waiting for you downstairs at Zong Shi Yan Tuan when you got off work. But I never saw you come out; I thought you were working overtime. Later on, I saw you get into a car and rode my scooter after you. I lost sight of you once but caught up again. When I saw your car stopped in the middle of the road and almost got rear-ended by another vehicle, I thought something happened to you and followed it all the way to this restaurant."
Still not satisfied with his questions, he pressed on: "Why did he kiss you? What is your relationship with him?"
