The private room Song Yanzhi booked happened to have a whole floor-to-ceiling window with a wide view, so he could overlook the scenery outside while eating.

He thought it was quite good, but the person sitting in front of him had been concentrating on eating since the dishes were served, and didn't pay any attention to the scenery at all.

He tapped the table lightly and asked with a smile, "Miss, is the food in this restaurant to your liking?"

I don't know if it was because I was hungry or if the food in this restaurant was really delicious, but Song Xilan couldn't stop eating. His cheeks were stuffed, and he looked up and replied vaguely, "It's okay."

She looked quite cute while eating, and Song Yanzhi couldn't help asking, "Are you really attracted to the guy you went on a blind date with last time?"

"What's it to you?" Song Xilan said unhappily.

Of course, she didn't like the other person, but she also didn't understand why Song Yanzhi had to interfere and act like nothing happened after the incident.

Since he didn't like her, why did he stop her? As a result, her mother nagged her for several days.

Thinking of this, the ribs in Song Xilan's hand no longer tasted delicious.

Bah, what do you mean by like her or not? She doesn’t want him to like her!

Song Yanzhi put the peeled shrimp in her bowl and asked, "Then why are you angry with me?"

"When did I-"

Before Song Xilan finished speaking, he stared at the peeled shrimp in the bowl with his eyes widened, and then shouted at Song Yanzhi, "Why are you peeling shrimp for me!"

Song Yanzhi had just peeled another shrimp in the air and had not yet put it into her bowl when he was startled by her sudden shout. He stared blankly at Song Xilan who was glaring at him.

"What, what happened?" Song Yanzhi was confused. "Isn't this just a matter of convenience?"

Song Xilan poked the shrimp in the bowl and said, "My mother said that a man will peel shrimp for a woman only if he likes her."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a hand quickly reach out and take the shrimp from her bowl.

Throw it into his own mouth.

Her round eyes widened even further.

"Is that so?" Song Yanzhi ate the shrimp he peeled and said with a smile, "Then I'll eat it myself."

Song Xilan almost fainted as she watched him eat up all the peeled shrimp meat and put the chopsticks on the table with a "bang".

"Song Yanzhi!"

She angrily picked up her bag and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Song Yanzhi hurriedly stopped her.

"Miss."

Song Xilan turned her head and glared at him, only to see him say with a playful smile, "Actually, I'm inviting you to dinner today to say goodbye to you."

Song Xilan's heart skipped a beat. "Goodbye? What goodbye?"

"I'm leaving Beijing." Song Yanzhi looked at him, a smile on his handsome face.

His tone was neither light nor heavy, but Song Xilan felt a slight sense of loss for some reason.

She turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Europe." Song Yanzhi lowered his head to peel the shrimp in his hand and put it back into her bowl.

Somehow, Song Xilan looked at the shrimp he had just peeled and suddenly felt less hungry. The food on the table also lost its original aroma and was no longer as delicious.

She sat down again and asked, "So...when will you be back?"

"I don't know." Song Yanzhi still smiled, "I'm not sure yet."

"What?" He looked at Song Xilan's expression and asked, "You can't bear to leave me?"

As if someone had touched upon his inner thoughts, Song Xilan hurriedly said, "Who can't bear to leave you? Whether you leave or not, whether you come back or not, what does it have to do with me?"

She picked up her chopsticks again and ate all the shrimp he offered her. She said vaguely, "I just feel that if I want to eat here again in the future, I may not be able to get a table."

"Is that so?" Seeing that she had been keeping her head down, Song Yanzhi smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll tell the owner of this restaurant. There's always room for you whenever you want to come."

Hearing this, Song Xilan said "Oh" indifferently, lowered her head and continued to eat the shrimp he handed to her.

It’s better for him to leave. He has someone he likes anyway, and it has nothing to do with her.

After he leaves, she can go on a blind date with peace of mind.

But for some reason, Song Xilan felt that the food in the bowl tasted like chewing wax.

......

Joe Mansion.

In the children's room, the person on the blue bed was sleeping soundly.

Qiao Ruyi was sitting at the head of the bed with a bedtime story book in her hand, and had just finished reading the last page.

The nanny came in quietly and reminded, "Miss, it's time for dinner."

Qiao Ruyi nodded, tucked in the quilt for Qiao Xile, turned around and asked softly, "Is Mr. Qiao back?"

The nanny shook her head and said, "Mr. Qiao said he has too much work to do at the company and won't be back for dinner."

Qiao Ruyi smiled lightly, "I understand."

Just as I was about to go downstairs, I suddenly received a call from Song Xilan.

She walked to the door and answered it, "Xilan?"

At this time, Song Xilan had finished her meal. She refused Song Yanzhi's offer to take her home and walked alone on the bustling street.

She always felt empty inside and couldn't help but call Qiao Ruyi.

"Baby Ruyi," she asked, "I want to ask you something."

Her voice sounded uninterested, and her tone was different from usual.

Qiao Ruyi noticed something was wrong as soon as she heard it and asked quickly, "What's going on?"

"Nothing." Song Xilan walked along the roadside, kicking the leaves on the roadside boredly. "I just wanted to ask you, is Song Yanzhi going abroad?"

When she heard that they were asking about Song Yanzhi, Qiao Ruyi curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled.

She guessed that Xilan liked Song Yanzhi.

She thought about it and seemed to have heard Ling Che talk about it.

"It seems like that's the case." Qiao Ruyi said, "I think he's going to Europe to participate in a car race."

"Huh?" Song Xilan's voice rose on the other end of the phone. "Participating in the competition? Not going abroad to settle down?"

"His family and business are all in Beijing. Why would he settle down abroad?" Qiao Ruyi said with a smile. "He'll be back after the competition. I guess it'll be around ten days to half a month."

"So that's it."

On the other end of the phone, Song Xilan couldn't help but smile, "I understand, Ruyi baby."

She hung up the phone with an unstoppable smile on her face, "Okay, this Song Yanzhi lied to me again!"

After she finished speaking, she immediately reacted and quickly put away the smile on her face, "Why am I laughing? Why should I be happy? What does it have to do with me whether he leaves or not, humph!"

......

Qiao Ruyi looked at the hung up phone, smiled faintly, and then frowned slightly.

I know what Xilan is thinking, but I don’t know what Song Yanzhi is thinking.

She put away her phone and went downstairs to eat.

The green-feathered parrot that was screaming at the top of its lungs was no longer in the hall.

She glanced at the empty birdcage, smiled sarcastically, and turned to go to the restaurant.

"Hey, where's my parrot?"

Li Ling was also puzzled. The parrot was staying in the cage fine in the morning, but why was there no sound at all in the afternoon?

The birdcage was empty, so she quickly called out to Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, have you seen Xiaofang?"

Wang Ma's face turned pale when she heard this address. "Madam, he was still here when I fed him at noon. Did he go out to play?"

The parrot flew back after going out. Li Ling didn't think much of it and reminded him, "Then you keep an eye on it and don't let it run away."

She was also counting on this bird to scold that little bitch Qiao Ruyi for her!
