Che Huan glanced at Wen Nuan, "What’s wrong?"
"Who’s that by the man-god?"
"Lawyer Qin." Che Huan said softly, feeling very uneasy as she sat there, with Huo Jinnan right across from her, too embarrassed to raise her head.
Then she thought of Gu Yunqing’s words, so maliciously intended, she was probably really afraid of any connection between herself and Huo Jinnan, right?
"You haven’t treated and Brother Huo to a al for helping you last ti, Miss Che. I wonder if we’ll have the pleasure today."
Qin Shaojin’s voice ca from beside her, and when Che Huan looked up, she saw Qin Shaojin had already taken the seat next to hers, turning his head to look in Huo Jinnan’s direction, "Brother Huo, sit here."
"...!"
Che Huan turned her gaze towards Wen Hua’s direction.
It wasn’t easy for Wen Hua to say anything, "I’ve always wanted to treat you both to a casual al but haven’t had the chance. Now that we’ve bumped into each other, if you don’t mind, let’s eat together."
"How could we?" Qin Shaojin smiled, pulling out a chair for Huo Jinnan. Finding the table legs a bit too long and unable to squeeze in, he tilted to one side and pushed the chair closer to Che Huan’s side.
Huo Jinnan glanced over, walked over, and sat down next to Che Huan, his long legs naturally couldn’t fit underneath, so he angled towards Che Huan’s side.
Che Huan, "..."
She awkwardly shifted her gaze away, glanced at him, and then rembered Gu Yunqing’s words – her daughter was still alive!
Then thinking of Qiao Qiao’s situation, it suddenly hit her – Qiao Qiao must know about this, right?
Even if she told her, could she contend with Gu Jizhou and Gu Yunqing with her own power? Could she fight for her child?
So, had Qiao Qiao been silent all along?
She secretly clenched her skirt, glancing towards Huo Jinnan again.
If she went to find Gu Yunqing, Gu Yunqing might not tell her where the child was, probably deliberately stalling her to use as leverage, to force her into many unwilling actions.
Should she ask him, with his abilities, wouldn’t it be easy to find out?
If he was willing to put in the effort, shouldn’t it be simple to find her daughter?
Besides, her daughter was his daughter too!
But did he care about that child?
Suddenly, she felt a large palm covering hers, tightly enveloping her hand, and her body instinctively tensed up, a layer of sweat forming in the palm of her hand.
Che Huan was startled, looking down to see the man’s slender and bony hand, but on the back of his hand, which was a light tan, was a startling scar!
He was injured?
It looked as if sothing sharp had deeply gouged out a piece of his flesh! How did he get such a serious wound?
Just then, her uncle’s voice rang in her ears.
"Lawyer Qin, Mr. Huo, please feel free to order whatever you’d like," Wen Hua said as he took the nu and passed it to Qin Shaojin and Huo Jinnan.
Qin Shaojin took the nu, looking towards Huo Jinnan, "Brother Huo."
Huo Jinnan raised his eyes, gave it a quick glance, "You pick."
Qin Shaojin flipped through the nu casually, not finding anything in particular he wanted to eat, and passed the nu to Wen Nuan, "Ladies first."
Wen Nuan took a glance at Qin Shaojin, thinking how unfair it was that even lawyers looked so handso these days!
She took the nu, leaned over to Che Huan’s side, "Sister Huanhuan, what would you like to eat?"
Che Huan turned her head towards Wen Nuan, tugged at her hand forcefully, but Huo Jinnan held on even tighter.
