This sudden male voice that came out of nowhere caught the two off guard. They turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from. Standing at the entrance of the cubicle was Han Qing in his black suit, and on his gorgeous face was a look of restrained anger; he was staring at Little Bean.
Locking his eyes with Han Qing’s callous gaze, Little Bean could feel his anger. He quickly withdrew his neck. Oh no! I think I’ve just made Uncle Qing angry. Someone, please help me!
It was not an accomplished mission for Little Bean yet as Aunt Yan had not come. Though, he had already informed the server to bring Yan over when she arrives. Meanwhile, he was earnestly hoping that Aunt Yan would show up before Uncle Qing’s temper spiraled out of control.
“Uncle Qing.”
After a long wait, Han Qing was finally here. However, now that he showed up, Little Bean was slightly terrified by him. After a shout, Little Bean contracted his neck, hoping that Aunt Yan would quickly appear. As long as Aunt Yan is here, Uncle Qing will forget about me.
Han Qing was not supposed to be here. If Yan was going to marry her blind date, that was her right, and he did not have the authority to interfere in her freedom and right to choose. Despite this being his reasoning, it was difficult for him to carry it out.
After putting down his phone, Han Qing contemplated for a moment. Before he could decide, he was already on his way here. He showed up. Even though he understood well that he might see her with her blind date here, he still… could not help it. He felt an uncontrollable urge to come over.
However, before stepping into the cubicle, Han Qing did not expect to hear those words from Little Bean, which made it seem like Yan was not here. So, after he entered, he confirmed that she was indeed not here. It seemed that he had been tricked by Little Bean.
Han Qing trudged toward Little Bean with his long legs before turning to look at Li Sihan. When the two exchanged looks earlier, Li Sihan felt an invisible pressure resting on him, rendering him paralyzed.
For someone that looked and behaved as well and adorably as Little Bean, Li Sihan was not surprised that he came from a wealthy and influential family. Because of this, Li Sihan had already mentally prepared himself. However, the appearance of Han Qing still caught him off guard. This man in front of him looked exceptional and majestic. He could tell that he was not an ordinary person. How did Yan get involved with this sort of man?
“Hello there,” Han Qing spoke in an indifferent voice while looking at him, “I’m Little Bean’s uncle. Nice to meet you.” He could feel an overwhelming force coming out of him.
Li Sihan stolidly put out his hand for a handshake. “N-Nice to meet you. I’m Li Sihan.”
“Mm-hmm.” After slightly touching his hand, Han Qing retracted his hand and continued slowly, “What Little Bean said earlier wasn’t true—this little brat likes to bluff. I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
“I understand. He’s just a child, and a child says what he thinks. I didn’t take it seriously.”
“If you did, Mr. Li, I can explain it to you.”
“There’s no need for that.” Li Sihan waved his hand somewhat awkwardly. “There’s no need to explain; I believe you. Also, Yan doesn’t seem like that sort of woman; there’s no way she would do things like these. I believe her.”
Han Qing turned and stared at Little Bean with a stern and severe look on his face. “Since you’ve spoken out of turn, please apologize like you mean it.”
Feeling frustrated, Little Bean puckered up his lips. “Uncle Qing…” He attempted to weasel his way out of it without apologizing as he was indeed telling the truth that Yan liked Han Qing as well as the things that she did. He could not understand why Han Qing would try to explain it away and in essence help Yan get together with her blind date. This upset him.
“Apologize!” The look on Han Qing grew increasingly serious and stern.
Fine. Little Bean wussed out and responded reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Li, for the things that I misspoke earlier. Aunt Yan’s nice to me, so I’ve always wanted her to be my aunt. That’s why I said what I said.”
“No problem. I don’t mind. Please don’t worry about it.”
At this point, the food arrived. Li Sihan broke the awkwardness in the air. “Since you’re here, would you like to take a seat and join us?”
Han Qing took a glance at the food on the table and his gaze fell on the bottle of expensive wine. Then, he turned to Little Bean again. Looking at Han Qing’s stare, Little Bean lowered his head, feeling guilty.
Ah! I’m just trying to help Aunt Yan! If her blind date is poor but still pretends to be rich, isn’t Aunt Yan going to suffer if she eventually marries him?
“You’re too kind, Mr. Li.” After Han Qing said this, he proceeded to sit down.
Just as the three were about to start eating, a female voice came from the outside. “Is it here? Thanks a lot.”
Yan was still catching her breath when she entered the cubicle. She had rushed to the hotel as soon as she saw Little Bean’s message. When she was coming up the stairs, she even quickly checked how much money she had in her digital wallet. This made her want to cry. Gosh, I’m broke as hell. How am I supposed to pay later? Whatever. I might just transfer some from another account first.
Yan felt that even though life was already hard enough, Little Bean did not spare her any worry. After she had arrived at the hotel, she went directly to the cubicle while calling Little Bean’s name. The moment she entered the cubicle, she was stunned by the sight of someone’s figure. Han Qing? Why is he here?
Now, three people were sitting in the cubicle—Han Qing, Little Bean, and her blind date. Yan was mortified at the sight; she opened her lips but could not utter a word. As she assumed that there was going to be only Li Sihan and Little Bean, she had scripted what she was going to say. But now that Han Qing was here, she was rendered speechless. She did not want to see him, nor speak with him; she wanted to have nothing to do with him. But Little Bean…
Yan quickly calmed herself down until her breathing was stabilized before walking up to Li Sihan and sitting next to him. Han Qing looked at her attentively while pursing his lips.
What was happening now annoyed Little Bean. “Aunt Yan, please come and sit next to me!” Pointing at the spot next to him, he turned to Han Qing and commented, “Uncle Qing, please move. I want to sit with Aunt Yan. You can sit on the other side.”
Before Han Qing could react, Yan responded in a callous voice, “It’s fine. I like it this way.” Yan smiled and sounded like she said this deliberately. She continued to explain, “I’d like to introduce Li Sihan to you guys; he’s my blind date. It’s fitting for me to sit next to him in case you guys have any questions to ask us.”
These words pleasantly surprised Li Sihan as it seemed that Yan had approved of him. He then turned to look at her affectionately.
