She casually made up an excuse, "I-I was having dinner with a friend."
Qin Feimo’s dark eyes narrowed; she was clearly lying.
What on earth was it that she had to hide from him?
"Did you finish eating so quickly?" He glanced at his watch; it was only 12:13.
Feng Jinglei was genuinely flustered. Looking at the ti, it was indeed impossible to finish a al in thirteen minutes.
"No, I... was just about to go with Xiaoqi."
"Really? Then why are you getting out of the car like you’ve just co back?" His dark gaze fixed intently on her, wanting to see how she would justify her lie and keep it going.
Being questioned like that, Feng Jinglei beca even more anxious and flustered.
Facing his scrutinizing eyes, she had a delusion. Could it be that he had already been to the finance departnt and knew about her leave?
"Do you... have sothing to say?" She didn’t answer, but asked him back.
Qin Feimo was montarily taken aback.
His every move indicated that he cared about this woman.
"Nothing much, just wanted to see how you’d explain yourself." His voice was sowhat cold, clearly displeased with her repeated lies.
She was startled, did he actually know about her leave?
In the back, Luo Xiaoqian quietly stayed in the car but she could see that Qin Feimo’s expression was not good, completely different from when she saw him downstairs last night.
What was going on, did they have a fight?
"Since you already know, why are you still asking ?" She, too, had a cold face. She disliked his probing, making her feel exposed like a transparent person in front of him, while still trying to cover herself up—like a joke.
"What, afraid of my questions? Did you do sothing guilty?" Despite his dislike of her lying, he couldn’t help but mind her actions, making him even more depressed to an extre point!
"I-I did not!" She hurriedly denied, but her tone betrayed her guilt.
Qin Feimo narrowed his deep dark eyes even further.
Feeling unwell and going to the hospital is normal, but why did she conceal it? It was as if there was sothing she had to keep from him, not letting him know.
"Feng Jinglei, you—"
"Well, if there’s nothing, Xiaoqi and I are going to lunch!"
Anyway, she already saw him, and he knew she was lying. Feng Jinglei simply brushed aside all concerns and avoided his questions, turning back to open the passenger door again and got in.
"Drive quickly!"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Feng Jinglei instantly urged Luo Xiaoqian, who was at the wheel.
Luo Xiaoqian was still dumbfounded until she saw her expression, and then she realized and quickly drove away.
Watching the white Audi disappear amidst the traffic, Qin Feimo narrowed his dark eyes once more. He felt convinced that Feng Jinglei really had sothing to hide from him.
Only when Qin Feimo’s figure was no longer visible in the rearview mirror did Feng Jinglei finally breathe a sigh of relief, but almost imdiately, anxiety crept back in.
"Jinglei, what’s going on with you guys? Qin Feimo seems to be in a bad mood, did you have a fight?"
Seeing her not looking well, Luo Xiaoqian asked with concern.
"It seems like he knows about my leave to go to the hospital."
Luo Xiaoqian frowned, "It’s okay if he knows, right? He doesn’t know you went for a prenatal check-up."
Feng Jinglei turned her head; her heart was particularly heavy.
If it were only that simple.
From the beginning, maybe she shouldn’t have hidden it, just said she felt unwell and went to the hospital. Lying made it seem like she was hiding sothing from him, and if he did go to the hospital to investigate, he’d quickly find out she went for a prenatal check-up.
