Chapter 488: Chapter 487: How are things between you and your Director Qi?

Ya Ling watched as Ye Jinwen was disdainfully ushered out by the store manager.

She repeated the words she had just heard.

A car accident?

She had never been in a car accident!

Ya Ling kept this in mind but without time to think further, she sent a text message to Lu Mian.

“Hey, Brother Mian, are you trying to set me up?”

On the other side, Lu Mian was following Xiao Qimo around the supermarket and paused slightly when she saw Ya Ling’s message, a trace of guilt quickly flitting across her eyes.

She lagged a step behind Xiao Qimo and replied to her.

“What’s up?”

Ya Ling: “I went to the place you mentioned, but didn’t see the old man you talked aboutaEUR”only Ye Jinwen!

Damn, I almost bumped into him!”

Lu Mian stared at the message, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Although she didn’t really want to go herself and had sent Ya Ling in her place, she could somewhat guess the old man Yun Zhijuan’s intentions.

But, even if that old man invited a beggar over, he wouldn’t have arranged for a man with a fiancA(c)e to be set up with her.

She didn’t know what kind of play this was, and in the end, could only reply, “I’m not sure about this issue either.

I’ll ask around later.

It could be a misunderstanding.”

Ya Ling: “If you’re unaware, then it’s probably him on a date with Shen Yixin.

That restaurant is a theme restaurant for couples.”

Lu Mian: “…”

Lu Mian decided it was time to have a serious talk with this master who liked to set up her apprentice.

Lu Mian showed concern with a question, “Why didn’t you meet with him?

There might be some misunderstanding between you two.”

Upon reading the message, Ya Ling let out a “wow,” feeling a sense of pride as if witnessing her own daughter’s coming of age.

The usually forthright Mian with scant interest in romance was actually paying attention to these little matters of her heart.

But misunderstanding or not, she couldn’t go back now.

Not just because of Ye Jinwen and Shen Yixin, but also because of the Ye Family…

She didn’t want to remember those things, pushing the door and walking outside the underwear store, a gust of cold wind hit her, clearing her mind significantly.

Then, she changed the subject.

“Come on, Brother Mian, spill it.

Is something going on?

How are things going with your Director Qimo?”

That’s how Ya Ling was, always stirring things up, unable to sit still.

Lu Mian cracked a slight smile and replied, “Picking out godparents’ gifts.

I’ll be able to call her my godmother when I get back tomorrow.”

Ya Ling: …I was overthinking it!

“May all lovers in the world turn into siblings.

Bye!”

While Lu Mian was busy texting Ya Ling, Xiao Qimo also received a call from Ye Jinwen.

Xiao Qimo didn’t want Lu Mian to hear about those matters.

While she was occupied texting, he led her to a seating area, walked a few steps away, and then answered the call.

“Is everything settled?” Xiao Qimo asked with a leisurely tone.

Better him than me.

If that little rascal found out he had gone on a blind date, he would probably send him the red packet and wedding gift the next day.

“What’s there to settle!” Ye Jinwen sounded utterly dejected and stifled, “Qimo, who exactly did you want me to wait for?

I’ve been waiting almost half an hour and nobody’s shown up.”

Of course, it wasn’t a total waste to come here; he had also seen that familiar figure, which left him with no regrets.

It’s just that he hadn’t managed to complete Qimo’s task, and Qimo had said he would share a secret with him.

“I think the other party definitely stood you up,” Ye Jinwen commented.

“That’s perfect then,” Xiao Qimo replied nonchalantly, as if it were nothing new, “You’ve worked hard.”

“Qimo, so do I count as having completed the task?

What secret did you want to tell me?”

Xiao Qimo’s lips curved into a smile, “On the fifth day of the new year, Chu Kong will be holding a small-scale music concert, and I’ve bought you a ticket.

Remember to go.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinwen felt as if he’d been duped, wanting to rant but not daring to show it.

Just this?

Just this?

Nothing at all!

I mean, he could have found this news out by himself, and he could have gotten the tickets himself, right!

“Seventh brother, my intuition as a psychologist tells me that you’re hiding (scheming) something from me…”

“Love it or leave it.” Xiao Qimo couldn’t bother to argue with him anymore.

“I’m going!”

Ye Jinwen was easily cowed, and considering he hadn’t heard the secret he wanted most, his gossip-fiery heart was ablaze once again, “So, seventh brother, what exactly happened with Little Mianmian last night?

Give me a spoiler!”

Last night…

Thinking back to last night’s events, Xiao Qimo started feeling aches in his waist and back.

His handsome face instantly darkened like wrought iron, grinding his teeth inwardly, “None of your damn business!”

Having said that, he decisively and sulkily hung up the phone.

Ye Jinwen: Not willing to talk?

That makes me even more curious…

—

After Xiao Qimo hung up the call, he took the opportunity to notify Yun Zhijuan.

This time, when he reached out to that old childish matchmaker who was brimming with enthusiasm, he did so with conviction.

[The other party didn’t show up, it has nothing to do with me, don’t forget what you promised me.]

Yun Zhijuan: …

His meticulously arranged match-making banquet was just over like that?

Having settled one matter, Xiao Qimo felt completely at ease and, upon arriving at the resting area to find Lu Mian, he noticed she was absorbed in her smartphone, also taking some notes on the side.

He walked over leisurely, hands in pockets, and with the advantage of his height, he quickly glanced at her phone’s Baidu page to see her earnestly tapping on the screen.

[What gift to bring on the first visit to a godmother’s house?]

The cheeky brat!

Dare to recognize one and see!

Lu Mian seemed to sense the resentment looming overhead and glanced up while continuing to click on her search.

“You’re back.” She stood up from her seat, “Let’s go, I know what to buy now.”

The big man could only accompany her, albeit reluctantly.

As the two of them checked out and left the parking garage, on the other side of the garage two girls emerged.

One girl had a gentle demeanor, with light makeup and an elegant look.

The other girl was spirited, staring with wide eyes as Xiao Qimo’s car drove away.

“Sister, isn’t that Brother Qimo?” Shen Yiyao shook Shen Yixin’s arm, “Who, who’s that woman with him?

Don’t tell me she’s his sweetheart!”

Shen Yixin was there to accompany her sister for shopping today and had also seen Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian leaving together.

She patted Shen Yiyao’s hand, “That is his sweetheart.

You should stop obsessing over Young Master Ye and Lord Xiao, Lord Xiao will be bringing his girlfriend home to meet the parents this year.”

“What?” Shen Yiyao shook her head like a rattle, “I don’t believe it, I just can’t believe it!

You must be in cahoots with Brother Ye to deceive me!

No, over the New Year, I must visit the Xiao Family!”

Shen Yixin consoled her, “They are really happy together, stop making trouble.”

“Sister, why do you always take strangers’ sides!

That girl is clearly not from any of our families, she might be a gold-digger for all you know, what does she have that she deserves this?!”

“She isn’t a…”

“I don’t care, I must go to the Xiao Family!

I refuse to believe Brother Qimo would dismiss so many daughters of noble families and fall for a commoner!”
