lively and crowded."Lin Zhixuan: "I'm getting old, I can't cause any trouble anymore."They both smiled knowingly, realizing they couldn't really argue anymore. It wasn't that they were truly old in y...But she didn't go out, instead she called Xu Haichen, asking where he was.

> Xu Haichen answered: "It's coming right up, please come out first."

Chen Ning hung up the phone, walked outside, and it wasn't appropriate to avoid Song Jingye either, so she took the initiative to walk over and called him "uncle."

Song Jingye leaned against the car and saw her ask, "Finished watching"

"Well, I'm done. Why don't you go up"

"I just came out. " The main reason was that he didn't want to go back up and listen to his mother nag him, and he also believed that his mother knew her limits and wouldn't say anything hurtful in front of him.

Chen Ling stood rooted to the spot, refusing to look up at him. She kept her gaze fixed on the entrance of the parking lot, waiting for Xu Haichen's car to arrive.

"What time will you be finishing dinner with your colleagues" Song Jingye asked, his tone not very good. He felt a bit uncomfortable inside. Shouldn't her first dinner back in the country be with him

To him, it seemed like a given. They had been eating together every day before she left the country, so he hadn't even considered making plans in advance.

Result Chen Ning replied without showing any sign of his displeasure, or maybe she saw it and didn't care, answering: "Unsure."

There is no time limit for gatherings.

Just then, Xu Haichen's car drove in from the entrance and stopped in front of her. She looked up at Song Jingye and said, "Uncle, I'm leaving."

Then he got in the car and drove away.

Song Jingye wanted to say how late the dinner was going, and he'd pick her up. But she didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

She's getting rebellious. This little girl has grown wings and is starting to fly.

Just as he was about to get into his car and leave, a car suddenly stopped beside him. It was Zheng Ke.

"Song, are you sick" Zheng Ke found it strange to encounter this.

To him.

"No." Song Jingye replied briefly.

"I'll pick Zhang Ni up from work and go out for dinner together, will you" Zheng Ke asked.

"Hmm." Song Jingye agreed immediately. He didn't want to eat alone today either.

The two of them waited for Zhang Ni to come down downstairs.

After a while, Zhang Ni came out, arm in arm with a colleague.

That colleague was the Dr. Su that Song Jingye had met this afternoon.

What a coincidence.

Zhang Ni came down and saw Song Jingye greeting her enthusiastically: "Team Song, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Dr. Su also smiled and greeted: "It's nice to see you again."

Song Jingye nodded.

Zheng Ke and Zhang Ni were both surprised: "Do you know each other"

"Hmm." Song Jingye didn't explain much.

Dr. Su, seeing that he wasn't speaking, didn't explain too much.

Song Jingye and Zheng Ke, a married couple, were having dinner. They initially just wanted to kill time, but now, with the addition of Dr. Su, an unfamiliar acquaintance they had met through a blind date, their casual meal turned into a social obligation. Song Jingye felt unenthusiastic and planned to excuse himself early after a few bites.

The restaurant was located two streets away from the hospital, not too far.

It was such a coincidence that as soon as we got closer to the restaurant, we saw Chen Ninghui and Xu Haichen, who had left the hospital ahead of us, already here.

At that moment, Chen Ning and Xu Haocheng were looking down at the tablet to order food when a shadow suddenly fell over them. They looked up and saw Song Jingye's expressionless face, which startled them.

"Xiao Ning replied."

Another familiar voice came, she saw Zheng Ke behind Song Jingye, and hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Brother, sister-in-law."

"Didn't expect to see you here, are you just back from abroad"

"Well, I got back last night and haven't had a chance to tell you guys."

The atmosphere became lively, of course, except for Song Jingye who remained expressionless as ever.

Zheng Ke: "Fate. Come, let's go to a private room together."

Zheng Ke treated Chen Ling as his own younger sister, so he wasn't polite and spoke casually. He asked her and Xu Haochen to go to the private room with them.

this

Chen Ning glanced back at Xu Haichen, afraid he wouldn't like it, and sought his opinion.

Xu Haichen laughed and said, "It's okay, I've been wanting to meet your brothers for a while."

This way, the meal for two turned into a six-person dinner.

Song Jingye didn't say a word and walked at the front, leading the way into the private room.

Zheng Ke was used to his cold face from his time in the army, so he was accustomed to it. Today, with Xiao Ning, Dr. Su, and Xu Haochen present, Zheng Ke had to liven up the atmosphere.

After taking a seat, she glanced at Xu Haocheng and spoke first: "Xiaoning, is this your boyfriend"

Xu Haichen laughed after hearing this. He was handsome with a gentle and refined appearance, making people feel very comfortable looking at him.

Chen Ning smiled back: "No, his name is Xu Haichen. We're old classmates and now colleagues." Zheng Ke suddenly realized: "I remember now, when I went to your school for dinner before, you must have introduced him to me." "Probably," she said. She and Xu Haichen were quite close during their school days.

After chatting with Xu Haichen, Zheng Ke proactively introduced, "This is Dr. Su, a colleague and good friend of Zhang Ni. She was studying abroad last time when we got married, so we didn't get to see each other. Let me formally introduce her today."

Dr. Su: "Hello everyone, actually I've never met Linghui and Xu classmate before. Captain Song, we've known each other for a long time."

Zheng Ke: “I was just about to ask, how did you two meet”

He asked.

At that time, Zhang Ni lightly kicked his foot beside him, wanting him to keep quiet.

Dr. Su was very magnanimous: "A couple of years ago, I went on a blind date with Captain Song. This time his mother broke her leg, and I was the surgeon."

Zheng Ke got excited: "Is there such a coincidence That's too amazing. If you had been with Captain Song back then, I could have met Zhang Ni earlier."

Xu Haocheng is unwilling to get involved in these matters;

Zhang Ni's current identity is also inappropriate. On one hand, she's a friend of her own, and on the other hand, she's Xiao Ning Hui's return. She can't tell what Song Jingye's attitude is because he has been cold-faced throughout the whole process, with an indifferent attitude as if nothing concerns him.

Chen Ling glanced at Dr. Su sitting opposite her, with Song Jingye beside him. Looking at them like this, they seemed quite a match made in heaven.

I just didn't expect him to have gone on blind dates before, so he must really want to get married.

More than two years ago, she had gone to the northwest with Yaoyao, and he came to protect them. At that time, his heart and eyes were full of Yaoyao.

So, she instantly understood that it wasn't Yao Yao, anyone else could do. In his heart, she and Dr. Su were essentially no different.

This meal started out lively, but the atmosphere changed as Dr. Su realized that Chen Linghui and Song Jingye knew each other, and their relationship seemed a little ambiguous. She fell silent after that and didn't speak anymore.

Only Zheng Ke was lost in the clouds throughout, unable to lift the mood. He simply buried his head in his meal and left early.

Leaving the restaurant, Song Jing

Wild stood by his Jeep, not getting in, not speaking, but glancing back at Chen Ning.ark clouds, and then his lips were on hers. She suddenly opened her eyes to see the nape of his neck, his Adam's apple rolling with each kiss he pressed upon it. She hurriedly closed her eyes again.Fo...
