Chapter 28: Dinner at Her Place

Kicking him out again? Gong Xinyi's expression turned icy cold.

His eyes, dark as black pearls, fixed on Leng Xiyue, yet he said nothing.

Just staring like that made Leng Xiyue feel a chill down her spine.

Wang Li, terrified by Gong Xinyi's expression, quickly moved to Leng Xiyue's side, pinching her arm and hissing through clenched teeth, "Are you seeking death? Have you grown tired of living? Apologize to Mr. Gong right now."

Leng Xiyue felt she had done nothing wrong. Apologize for what?

"I'm leaving!" Leng Xiyue turned around defiantly.

"You're leaving just like that? Don't want the groceries?" Wang Li struggled with the basket.

"Don't want them!" Leng Xiyue said without turning back.

After all, the groceries were chosen by Gong Xinyi, and he paid for them, so that basket of groceries had nothing to do with her.

Wang Li had no way to deal with Leng Xiyue, so she could only say helplessly, "Mr. Gong, it seems it's time for us to head back, but these groceries..."

"Follow her! We're going to her place for dinner!" Gong Xinyi pointed at Leng Xiyue's retreating figure.

Motel.

Upon returning, Leng Xiyue immediately slung her bag over her shoulder, ready to head to Jin Yu's mother's house.

She ran into Gong Xinyi just as she was leaving, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"How come... you haven't left? Weren't you going to visit an injured employee?"

"Leng Xiyue!" Gong Xinyi grabbed her wrist, "Can't you see? I've been visiting the injured employee all along!"

Leng Xiyue looked at her own hand, and realization dawned on her; she was the injured employee Gong Xinyi had been referring to.

Previously, when speaking to Chen Yu about having a simple meal at the injured employee's home, he actually meant dining here!

My goodness, is the child's father going to have a meal with her?

This seemingly happy family reunion scenario is actually terrifying!

If he finds out the secret that she secretly had children, could she end up in a terrible situation?

"What? You don't welcome me to have a meal at your place?" Gong Xinyi's gaze darkened, pointing at the basket of groceries, "Woman, take a good look, I bought these groceries myself!"

"It's not that," Leng Xiyue withdrew her hand, explaining awkwardly, "I just... it's just unexpected. After all, my hand isn't seriously injured, just overworked. Your making such a big deal to comfort me, I feel quite embarrassed..."

"Does your hand still hurt?" Gong Xinyi looked at her intently.

His implication seemed to be that if Leng Xiyue's hand didn't hurt, he would immediately end his visit.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's completely healed, look."

Saying this, Leng Xiyue stretched out her hands, swinging them in all directions to show their flexibility.

"If it doesn't hurt, then go cook!" Gong Xinyi coldly pushed Leng Xiyue away, showing no tenderness.

What kind of person is this, really!

Leng Xiyue puffed her cheeks out in frustration.

"Xiyue, I'll cook with you," Wang Li immediately offered.

Without waiting for Leng Xiyue's consent, she carried the basket to the kitchen, picking and washing vegetables while praising her own cooking skills.

"Xiyue, let me tell you, my cooking skills are really good. After all, I've been learning to cook with adults since I was young. Whether it's meat or vegetarian dishes, once they pass through my skillful cooking, they immediately become rich in color, fragrance, and taste. Everyone who has tasted my cooking has nothing but praise for me. Men who have tasted my dishes wish they could marry me on the spot..."

Wang Li's words were not so much meant for Leng Xiyue as they were intended to let Gong Xinyi know just how good her cooking was.

Unfortunately, Gong Xinyi wasn't listening to Wang Li at all. From the moment Leng Xiyue entered the kitchen, he had his hands behind his back, quietly moving towards the old house where Jin Yu and Leng Xiyue lived.
