Chapter 4 Chance Encounters in Restaurants
"What? Cloud, when did you learn to joke? ”
"It's not a joke, and I'm not going to joke with you about it. Haotian, we are not suitable. ”
Yun Qilan's words were like a huge thunder in winter, which came suddenly and unexpectedly. Ling Haotian helped her into the carriage and placed her on the seat. Looking at the driver in front of him, he ordered: "Go to my clinic".
The whip in the coachman's hand made a crisp sound, and then the horse's hooves kicked up a puff of dust on the dirt road. Yun Qilan sat upright, but her heart was very uneasy. She could understand Ling Haotian's mood at the moment, it must have been both anxious and bitter.
There was a kerosene-burning lantern hanging in the carriage, which was above their heads, but Yun Qilan didn't dare to look sideways at Ling Haotian through the light.
"Yunduo, don't play with the child's temper, okay? I know you may be nervous about meeting my parents. It's okay, let's go home for a while and stay at the clinic for a few days. Anyway, on the day of the official opening of the clinic, they will come over, and when the time comes, you will forget about the nervousness with many friends. ”
After pondering for a moment, Ling Haotian still comforted Yun Qilan softly, and at the same time comforted his own hanging heart.
"Haotian, listen to me, I'm very, very serious......"
"Hehe, I know. Well, let me tell you, I'm also very, very serious. If you don't marry in this life, I will decide that your clouds are mine in this life. Clouds, good ......"
Ling Haotian said, turned sideways and hugged Yun Qilan into his arms, kissing her delicate face lightly. However, this ordinary behavior between couples provoked Yun Qilan's abnormal performance. She struggled to break free from his embrace, and she didn't respond as enthusiastically as she usually did, for she was back in the town and saw the man again.
Originally, before finding the Fang family's new house, Yun Qilan had no plans to break the marriage contract with Ling Haotian. Although she had a bitter hatred for Leng Chunzhu in her heart, if Fang Yan had already married Leng Chunzhu, then she Yun Qilan would no longer have the idea of taking Fang Yan back. Her greatest wish is to see Fang Yan and her daughter, and they will live happily and comfortably.
Speaking of what made her change her original intention, it was the housekeeper Lao Liu, just because Lao Liu called "Miss Leng". What does this mean? It shows that Fang Yan did not marry Leng Chunzhu as his wife, and she Leng Chunzhu has not yet obtained the status of the young grandmother of the Fang family.
Yun Qilan was not very looking forward to regaining the status of the young grandmother of the Fang family. What she can't let go of is still that person, and that sincere emotion, which has always been engraved in her heart, how can she easily forget it?
"Haotian, let's just be friends, okay? I've thought about it, we're only good friends. ”
Yun Qilan moved to the side, deliberately staying a little farther away from Ling Haotian.
"Yunduo, you must have been busy with the affairs of the clinic these days and didn't have a good rest. Oh yes! It's dinner time, let's go to the time-honored restaurant in the town first. No, no! Supper, my Queen! Haha......"
Ling Haotian tried to divert his thinking, and at the same time, he was also changing the topic.
"I don't have an appetite."
"Then you just watch me eat, haha, I promise you...... I couldn't see it for a few minutes before I picked up the chopsticks on my own. Because you're a cat......"
Ling Haotian, a young man with a cheerful personality, still wanted to use humorous language to make Yun Qilan happy.
"Something, I want to ...... Should...... It's time to tell you. ”
Yun Qilan's expression was still solemn, hesitating, and she was about to tell Ling Haotian about her past.
"Sir, are you going to the clinic or the restaurant?"
At this moment, the driver of the car asked.
"Uh...... Let's go to the restaurant! ”
"Okay!"
Ling Haotian hesitated for a moment and replied to the coachman's words, and the coachman readily agreed, and threw up the horsewhip again. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the time-honored restaurant in the town, which made Yun Qilan have no chance to say a few more words on the road. Ling Haotian helped Yun Qilan get out of the carriage, and then paid the coachman's money.
"Let's go, my Majesty."
Ling Haotian habitually grabbed Yun Qilan's arm, this time the strength was a bit great, and Yun Qilan's breaking free seemed to be of no avail. She had no choice but to follow him very passively, and the man from the restaurant welcomed them in very enthusiastically.
"Two upstairs, please, the best private room is still for you!"
The young man was not very old, but he was very good at talking. Ling Haotian and Yun Qilan had only come here to eat a few times, and they were actually remembered by this young man, as well as the private room that the rich boy was used to going to.
"The little brother has good eyesight, and he can get some tips later."
Ling Haotian spoke very generously, and the young man's heart blossomed with joy after hearing this. So he became more attentive and enthusiastic, and wanted to lead them up the stairs.
"Come here, boy! Hurry up and get me some buns, little sisters! ”
Suddenly, a very childish voice called out to the young man. The young man stopped, and when he turned around, his face turned ugly. Yun Qilan and Ling Haotian also stopped, and like all the customers in the hall, they looked at the few who had just entered.
Entered, five children, all dressed in tatters and unkempt. After careful inspection, I found that several of them were little girls. The one who spoke was a little taller, about a teenager. The rest of them were a little shorter, probably smaller than the kid.
The girl who spoke took the lead, found two benches, divided into two groups with her friends, and sat at each other at a table of eight immortals.
"Why are you again? There are no buns today, let's go! This smell is going to affect our business! ”
The young man at the restaurant looked impatient, and walked over with his nose covered, trying to get rid of the children. Yun Qilan couldn't stand these the most, and the moment she caught a glimpse of this group of little girls, her nose was already sore, and tears almost fell. She couldn't help but walk over, trying to stop the young man in the restaurant. Ling Haotian was also a kind-hearted person, and he and Yun Qilan had the same thoughts.
"Slow! Little brother, don't treat them like this. These children, at first glance, are from poor families, and they must have come hungry. You can get buns for them, and as for the cost, ......."
"I'll pay for them, except for buns, and give each of them a bowl of hot porridge."
Ling Haotian snatched Yun Qilan's words, and was very bold to pay for those children's meals.
"This ...... You are such a nice man, sir. ”
The young man's face was a little embarrassed, he casually praised Ling Haotian, and then turned around and prepared to go to the back kitchen.
"Hehe, I met a living Bodhisattva today! But what...... Miss Ben I ...... I don't need your pity and charity today! ”
The little girl who was the leader looked at Yun Qilan and Ling Haotian for a while, and then said these words coldly.
Yun Qilan was taken aback, she never thought that she would meet such a small child.
