Chapter 199: Chapter 197: Knowingly Committing a Crime

Blanche hadn’t expected her to stop suddenly; she nearly crashed into her and looked at her with some dissatisfaction, "What’s the matter?"

"Blanche, I don’t care why you took pictures of me with Fu Jinghen, but you should be more careful in your dealings with others, don’t be used by those with ulterior motives again."

Wen Qiao’s expression was extremely serious as she spoke, and Blanche involuntarily swallowed back her retort, "I wouldn’t be used by anyone," nodding unconsciously, "Understood."

Actually, she took that photo because she thought Wen Qiao was messing around, seeing what she believed to be incredible evidence. Her intention was to use it to slap Wen Qiao’s face later. Unexpectedly, she got a dose of her own medicine.

"Let’s go inside, they must be getting anxious."

The two of them pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.

The two men inside looked their way; Fu Jinghen’s eyes lingered on Wen Qiao without straying, while Gu Yi moved his lips but ultimately chose to say nothing. Blanche pretended not to notice and sat back down in her seat, starting on the dessert that had just been served.

She had barely eaten earlier and was now starving.

After Wen Qiao sat down, Fu Jinghen asked quietly, "What took you so long?"

With some helplessness, Wen Qiao replied, "I misspoke and upset her, so I had to spend some time soothing her."

"You really know how to aggravate people," Fu Jinghen said with a smile looking at her, "Did you apologize?"

"I did apologize!" Wen Qiao, unsatisfied, kicked Fu Jinghen with her high heel, "Do I look like someone who can’t admit their mistakes?"

"That’s not what I meant."

"You know better—"

Fu Jinghen leisurely completed his previously interrupted sentence, "You are someone who knowingly makes the same mistake."

Wen Qiao: "...."

Just start killing.

Can’t take it anymore.

The atmosphere at the dinner started off a bit odd, but by the end, it turned quite harmonious.

As the four of them left Xiao Xiang Pavilion, a warm breeze blew by, dissipating the chill from having been in air conditioning for so long.

As they said their goodbyes, Blanche wanted to say something but ended up just raising her phone at Wen Qiao and giving a nod to Fu Jinghen as a sign. Then she followed Gu Yi and left.

The driver had run into an accident, causing some traffic congestion, so he was still on the road. Wen Qiao glanced at the time; it wasn’t too late yet. Instead of just waiting at the door, she pulled out a mask from her bag and put it on, then turned to Fu Jinghen, "Shall we take a walk?"

"As you wish."

After getting a response, Wen Qiao raised her hand and linked her arm with Fu Jinghen’s. Meeting his questioning gaze, she explained, "It’s inconvenient for me to walk down the steps in high heels, so I’m borrowing your arm for support, any problem with that?"

"No."

Fu Jinghen led her, step by step, down the stairs at a leisurely pace.

Xiao Xiang Pavilion was located in the suburbs of Jiang City, far from the bustle of the city center. The roadside was lined with plane trees, and when the summer evening breeze blew through, the leaves rustled, interspersed with the occasional cicada’s song, as if nature was playing a symphony in the night.

After descending the steps, Wen Qiao didn’t let go of Fu Jinghen’s arm but continued to cling to it, her other hand holding her small purse.

The two of them strolled along the nighttime streets, and for a moment, no one spoke, tacitly enjoying the quiet.

After a while, Wen Qiao was the first to break the silence, "If we happen to be photographed, President Fu, you can handle it, right?"

Fu Jinghen glanced sideways at her, and the words he was about to say changed upon meeting her sparkling eyes, turning into a simple "Mhm."
