Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: Eating a Meal

After a round of laughter, everyone headed out the door, only to run into Ruan Yiqian and his brother upon reaching the entrance. They had come to visit Shen Mianmian and had not expected her house to be so lively, nor that everyone happened to be planning to go out.

"Mianmian, what’s the occasion today? It’s quite the scene," Ruan Yiqian wondered aloud.

"Big Uncle, Little Uncle," He Xiaobei excitedly approached and, without another word, ran up to Ruan Yiqian and hugged his leg, "We’ve missed you so much lately."

Ruan Yiqian handed what he was carrying to Ruan Yiyang, then bent down to pick up He Xiaobei, "I came to see you a few days ago, but you hadn’t finished school, and I was turned away at the door. I took the chance to come over as soon as I was free today."

He turned his head and pointed at the thing in Ruan Yiyang’s hands, "Look what I’ve brought for you."

He Xiaobei glanced over and his eyes immediately lit up, "A car model."

"And it’s not just a car model," Ruan Yiqian said, "there’s also an airplane model."

"Wow, Big Uncle, you’re my absolute favorite," He Xiaobei was thrilled. He had always loved cars and planes since he was little.

Shen Mianmian smiled and said, "Brother, you’re spoiling him. Look, his room is filled with cars and planes."

"It’s fine," Ruan Yiqian replied, "it’s normal for boys to like these things."

After that, he had Ruan Yiyang take the items into the yard and then said, "You’re planning to go out to eat, right? We haven’t eaten yet either, let’s all go together!"

"Let’s go!" Lu Nian chimed in, "I’ll treat today."

Ruan Yiqian’s gaze flickered upon hearing this, "What’s the special occasion today that Director Lu is treating us personally?"

Lu Nian laughed, "It’s not exactly a special occasion, but there is good news."

So, Ruan Yiqian, carrying He Xiaobei, started chatting with Lu Nian. With the crowd not wanting to go too far, they walked for about ten minutes and found a nicely styled upscale restaurant nearby.

As they walked and chatted, they quickly arrived at the restaurant entrance. He Xiaobei climbed down from Ruan Yiqian’s arms, and they all went to a private room on the second floor. They ordered a table full of dishes and began eating and chatting animatedly.

After eating for a while, He Xiaobei suddenly needed to use the restroom. He hopped down from his chair and said, "Mommy, I’m going to use the restroom."

"Go ahead," Shen Mianmian said softly.

They frequented this hotel, and He Xiaobei was familiar with it too. The restroom was just around the corner to the right of the exit, not more than ten meters away. Adding to that, He Xiaobei was always very self-sufficient, so Shen Mianmian felt confident letting him go alone.

He Xiaobei opened the door, stepped out of the private room, and even thoughtfully pulled the door closed behind him.

There were two more private rooms between theirs and the restroom. As He Xiaobei passed the first one, he caught a glimpse of what seemed like a shadow flickering inside. The door was half-open, allowing a clear view of the unoccupied table.

That meant there should be no one in that private room, but he thought he had seen a shadow.

Curiosity is a natural inclination in children, and He Xiaobei’s was even stronger than most kids, particularly when his family was just in the next room over, which made him even more curious. He slowly walked in.

Aside from the curtains and behind the door, there wasn’t much place to hide a person in the private room. The curtains were slightly transparent, showing there was nobody behind them, so that left only behind the door.

With that thought, He Xiaobei subconsciously looked behind the door. Just then, a large hand suddenly covered his mouth, and he was quickly pulled into the private room, as the door was closed behind them.
