After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Qi Lei readily agreed to Lan Yujuan's suggestion.

The two finished their rice noodles and were about to get up and leave.

Suddenly, the transparent plastic curtain was lifted from the outside, and Chen Mo walked in with his head down.

He turned his head almost without hesitation, his gaze precisely fixed on the corner.

"Chen Mo?"

Lan Yujuan was very surprised. "Weren't you supposed to be at work? What are you doing here?"

Chen Mo did not answer immediately, but instead fixed his gaze on the table and glanced at the empty bowls the two of them had eaten from.

Then, his gaze gradually moved upwards and landed on Qi Lei.

Upon seeing this, Qi Lei's alarm bells went off, and he immediately took two or three steps back, deliberately keeping his distance from Lan Yujuan.

Then, taking the initiative to speak, with an air of explanation, he said, "Boss Lan, it's settled then!"

"I'll be at Jiangpan Xiaoyin for work at 9 a.m. tomorrow!"

"You two continue your conversation, I'm heading back now."

After Qi Lei finished speaking, he casually grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth and started walking out.

As she passed by Chen Mo, she even nodded and greeted him.

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but it was clear that he greatly appreciated this sensible behavior.

Before leaving, he finally gave a response and nodded to the other party.

Lan Yujuan stood opposite, looking on with a puzzled expression.

"You were fine this morning, what happened to you?"

She walked over and gently hooked her finger around Chen Mo's ring finger.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Have you had breakfast?"

Chen Mo pursed his lips and shook his head, saying:

"I haven't eaten, I'm a little hungry."

"Is the rice noodles here good?"

At this moment, how could Lan Yujuan not understand what he meant?

I immediately took his hand and led him to the window. We ordered another bowl of rice noodles, and I added an extra egg and a serving of beef.

"Two bowls, please," Chen Mo added, standing beside him. "I don't want to eat alone."

Lan Yujuan subconsciously touched her round belly. "I'm already full."

"I really can't eat another bowl!"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, glancing at the menu on the wall as he replied casually:

"It's alright."

"If you can't finish it, I'll eat it for you."

Lan Yujuan had no choice but to give in to him.

She could sense that Chen Mo wasn't happy today, as if he was hiding something on his mind.

He should have been at the company at this time, but he suddenly appeared out of this small vegetable market.

But Lan Yujuan knew in her heart that Chen Mo was definitely not looking for her; it was just a chance encounter.

But she had no idea what had happened and couldn't guess at all.

All she could do was patiently stay by her side and wait for Chen Mo to be in a better mood before telling her.

"This morning, Chen Feifei called me and said that Qin Shuyi skipped class again."

Lan Yujuan was slurping noodles when she heard this, she looked up and her eyelashes trembled.

It took me a while to realize who Qin Shuyi was.

In name, she is Chen Mo's niece and should call him aunt.

In fact, she is Chen Mo's younger sister, born of the same parents, making her his sister-in-law.

For the past 17 years, Qin Shuyi has been the sole heir of the Qin family and is required to visit the ancestral hall to pay respects to their ancestors during festivals.

But now, Chen Feifei is pregnant with her third child, and the Qin family has another legitimate bloodline.

I wonder what Qin Shuyi will think in this situation?

"Skipping class?"

Upon hearing those two words, Lan Yujuan's heart leaped into her throat. "So, have they found him yet?"

"Last time, I think you mentioned that Shuyi attended a boarding school, right?"

Chen Mo glanced at her and nodded silently.

"Yes, I found it."

"Her high school was nearby."

Lan Yujuan couldn't help but ask again:

"Aren't boarding schools usually stricter? How did she escape?"

Chen Mo scratched his brow, clearly also having a headache.

"I heard from the school that they climbed trees and scaled walls to get out."

"But it's alright now."

"I've already arranged for someone to take him directly back to school."

When Lan Yujuan heard that the person had been sent back, her tense heart relaxed a little.

She whispered, "Although I've never met Shuyi, she seems pretty well-behaved usually."

"Why did you suddenly skip class?"

"Did you see her just now? Did you talk to her and ask her what the reason was?"
