Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Inviting Tan Qing for Dinner

Lin Xue has been with MT for a long time and is quite familiar with Tan Qing. She doesn’t mind his teasing, giving a slightly ambiguous smile: "Luckily, Nuannuan is quite talented. Young Master Tan, you have a good eye. She’s got both looks and talent, you two really look like a perfect match, made for each other..."

"Lin Jie, it’s not what you think."

Wen Nuan hastily interrupted him, her face turning red with embarrassment. She knew Lin Xue had misunderstood her relationship with Tan Qing.

"Shy? Haha, don’t worry, I won’t spread this around." Lin Xue laughed and patted her hand.

Nuannuan’s face reddened even more: "Lin Jie, it’s really not like that. There’s nothing between me and him."

She looked at Tan Qing anxiously, hoping he would explain. But that guy just smirked mischievously, with no intention of helping at all.

It wasn’t until Wen Nuan angrily gave him a fierce look that Tan Qing leisurely spoke: "Lin Jie, you should go home quickly. If you go home late, your husband will say I’m overworking his wife."

"Oh no, how could I forget, today is our tenth wedding anniversary, I need to go home early." With his reminder, Lin Xue lightly patted her forehead, quickly grabbed her bag, and left.

"How nice."

Nuannuan watched Lin Xue’s hurried figure and couldn’t help but mutter softly.

Tan Qing didn’t hear her and raised an eyebrow, asking: "What?"

"I was saying, Lin Jie and her husband seem to have a really good relationship." Wen Nuan lowered her eyes and spoke softly, feeling a slight bitterness in her heart.

Ten years is not too long, but not too short either. But how many people can maintain such a good relationship after that time? Nowadays, people are quite restless about love and marriage, how many make it to ten years?

And she and Leng Yan... probably wouldn’t even last a year...

"Your expression looks like a married woman unhappy with her husband."

Tan Qing looked at her seriously: "Come on, we agreed to have dinner together tonight, no backing out!"

"Okay." Wen Nuan nodded, her half-lowered eyes showing a sadness and apology towards Tan Qing that no one else could see.

Tan Qing hit the mark, she was indeed a married woman, and her relationship with her husband was not good.

She hadn’t intended to hide her marital status, but if she mentioned it, and he asked her husband’s name, she couldn’t just say she didn’t know, could she?

Leng Yan didn’t want her to reveal any information about him, and she didn’t want to be questioned about it either. More so, she didn’t want Leng Yan to misunderstand her intentions as using his status for her work.

"Is this the place you chose?"

Wen Nuan got out of the car and looked at Tan Qing curiously.

She had just turned a few corners behind Tan Qing until they pulled up in an alley. Looking at the old buildings, Wen Nuan really couldn’t understand why Tan Qing chose this place.

"Are you afraid I didn’t bring enough money?"

She chuckled softly, pointing to her bag with a playful smile: "Does it look empty?"

"Not at all. I just choose the right place, not the expensive one, and the food here is really good." Tan Qing blinked confidently, as if knowing it all.

He had come here before on a friend’s recommendation, the food was great, and he had returned several times since.

"Really? Then I’ll give it a try."

Nuannuan smiled delightedly and followed Tan Qing into a small private room. The walls looked a bit old, but at least it was clean and hygienic inside.
