Chapter 158: Are you hiding something from me?
Lin Yuqing was startled, and raised her head to look at him, only to find that he was looking at her with eyes full of affection. She pursed her lips and said nothing more.
When they returned to the villa, the two children had already been picked up by Xiao Mingyang and were eating in the living room with Yu Ma.
Seeing her come back, they both put down their bowls and rushed towards her cheering, "Mommy, you're back?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing put down her bag and took the two of them to the table. Xiao Mingyang was sitting there without moving the table in front of him. When he saw her come back, he looked at her and motioned her to sit next to him.
Lin Yuqing pursed her lips and walked over to sit next to him.
As soon as I got down, I heard him ask, "Why are you so late today? Where have you been?"
"I have something to do, so I'm a little late." As she said that, Lin Yuqing picked up the bowl of rice and prepared to eat. She was upset by someone at noon today and hadn't eaten anything until now. Her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Mingyang asked persistently.
"It's just something. Why are you asking so many questions?" Lin Yuqing was eating and didn't care. She didn't intend to tell him that she had met Xu Zhifan. Although there was nothing between her and him, telling him would only make him think too much, so it was better to avoid trouble. She was already in a bad mood.
"Can't I ask anymore? What did you do after get off work today?" Xiao Mingyang's eyes were full of inquiry, and he looked like he would not give up until he got the answer.
Lin Yuqing suddenly felt upset, closed her eyes, and said helplessly: "Can you let me eat first?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mingyang held her hand and said, "No, make your words clear first."
Lin Yuqing took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "Let go!"
The other three people fell silent as they watched the unexpected events unfold.
"Then tell me clearly who you met tonight?"
There was a questioning tone in his voice, which made Lin Yuqing very uncomfortable. She had encountered such a thing in the company, listened to rumors about herself all day, and was teased by several male colleagues after get off work. Now when she came back, he didn't care about her and forced her like this. Her patience was really exhausted.
She simply placed the bowl in her hand heavily on the table and looked at him impatiently: "What exactly do you want to ask? Can't I even have a peaceful meal?"
"What am I asking? Are you going to answer? I've been asking you for a long time, but you haven't told me who you've been meeting. Or are you trying to hide your relationship with Xu Zhifan from me?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing stood up and looked at him in disbelief: "What do you mean by that? What do you mean I'm with Xu Zhifan without telling you?"
"Do I need to tell you who you were with after get off work? Shouldn't you have explained it to me when you got back? And even after I asked you so many times, you didn't even mention it!"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing was a little disappointed. "Explain to you? What is our relationship? Do we have to make such a fuss? Don't I even have a little personal freedom? Do I have to report to you every time I see a friend?"
After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath and interrupted him before he could say anything: "Have you ever cared about what happened today? Do you know what I've been through? You didn't even let me have a good meal after get off work! You don't want me to eat, right? Then eat as much as you want by yourself!"
Lin Yuqing forcefully pulled his hand away and walked upstairs angrily.
Xiao Mingyang was also very angry. He saw with his own eyes that she and Xu Zhifan were sitting face to face in the coffee shop. He gave her the chance to explain and she explained it to him, but she didn't say a word and now she was even angry with him.
He was so angry that he sat down. When he looked up, he saw Zhenzhen and Xuan'er sitting opposite him staring at him silently. He licked his lips and looked at them irritably: "Why are you looking at me?"
Zhenzhen pouted her lips, her voice slightly frightened: "Uncle Xiao, why are you so mean to Mommy?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mingyang pursed his lips: "How am I fierce?"
"Mommy came back looking very tired, and you were mean to her. Mommy has always been a foodie, and you didn't let her eat properly!"
Hearing this, Xiao Mingyang remembered Lin Yuqing's tired look when she came in, but when he thought about her and Xu Zhifan sitting face to face in the coffee shop without telling him, his anger could not be dispelled.
He stood up suddenly and went upstairs with a dark face.
Looking at him like this, Yu's mother could only shake her head and sigh helplessly. These young couple really love each other more the more they quarrel.
After Lin Yuqing returned to the room, she slammed the door, then sat down in front of the dressing table angrily, glaring at herself in the mirror.
In fact, she didn't know why, but she got angry when she saw that he didn't trust her. But after what happened in the daytime, he didn't even say hello or comfort her, and all he did was question her. How could she not be angry?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuqing opened the drawer, picked up a small box inside and opened it.
A pair of shining earrings suddenly appeared in front of her. Lin Yuqing raised her hand to touch the earrings, biting her lip and looking at them.
At first, she was willful and went out to get drunk. She entered the wrong room and mistook him for a male prostitute who was out to make money. After having a one-night stand with him, she dropped this earring, which he unexpectedly picked up and has kept until now.
She originally thought that it was just a one-night stand and they would not see each other again after the birth of the child, but she did not expect that he was actually the president of Xiao Corporation. She could not have imagined that the relationship between the two would develop to this point.
Looking at the pair of earrings in front of her, Lin Yuqing's mood calmed down. She thought that she was too excited just now. He was just asking her a question. Even if his tone was not good, it was because he cared about her. And she had been talking to him in a bad mood. No wonder he was angry.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuqing touched the earrings and smiled slightly.
The sound of footsteps outside the door made her pause, and then she withdrew her hand, closed the box and put it back in the drawer.
Just as he finished doing this, the door was pushed open and Xiao Mingyang appeared in front of the door.
We had just had a fight and he came to find me. No matter what I said, it felt awkward.
Lin Yuqing pursed her lips, looked at him, and hesitated to speak.
Xiao Mingyang walked in, also looking awkward: "You...what happened to you at the company today? Also, why did you show up in the coffee shop with Xu Zhifan?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing pouted, bit her lower lip and whispered, "It was just an accidental encounter. Will you believe me?"
"I believe it!" Xiao Mingyang said solemnly, then stepped forward and stared at her: "I believe everything you say, but if you don't say a word, it will make me think you are hiding something from me!"
"I'm sorry..." Lin Yuqing lowered her head and said with some guilt: "I'm just a little tired today, so I don't want to talk much. If I made you angry because of this, then I apologize to you now..."
Before she could finish her words, he pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her hair. He said softly, "You still want to apologize to me? Just stay by my side and that'll be all."
Lin Yuqing also reached out and hugged him back, nodding slowly in his arms.
