Chapter 131 That Woman Has Intentions Towards Me (2/2)
”Pre-President Ying?” Fang Lu did not see this coming. She had not been expecting Ying Qingcang's blatant dismissal. She stood up hurriedly. ”Then, give me a face and let me treat you to lunch!” She had said ”you” instead of ”all of you”. ”What an imbecile!” Ah Nan mocked inwardly.
”Oh, he's joining me for hotpot later, so he won't be able to have lunch with you!” Xin Qing said all of a sudden. Ying Qingcang was obviously satisfied with that remark since he quickly walked over and wrapped an arm around Xin Qing's waist. ”Alright. Let's go!”
Fang Lu remained rooted in her spot even after Ying Qingcang and Xin Qing had left. Just then, Monica walked in and saw Ah Nan standing there as well. ”Why are you still standing there? Come join me for lunch!” she told Ah Nan.
”Monica!” Fang Lu yelled. ”We need to talk.” Fang Lu approached Monica with hurried steps. Fang Lu grasped Monica's arm and was about to drag her away when Ah Nan stopped her. ”Miss Fang, allow me to escort you out.”
Fang Lu glared at Ah Nan. ”You? What are you? How dare you speak to me in that tone?”
”If it weren't for the fact that you're standing here right now, I will not bring myself to say a single word to you,” Ah Nan said. He walked towards the door and then extended his arm through the doorway in a gesture for her to leave.
Fang Lu turned her head and looked at Monica. ”Wow. You guys have got some guts, I'll give you that. You're openly flirting with each other at the company.”
”Have you gone blind?” In Monica's eyes, women like Fang Lu were nothing but crazy bitches. ”When exactly have you seen us flirting with each other?”
Fang Lu sneered. ”I don't care. I'm telling you that I want another shot at Ying Qingcang. You better arrange another meeting between us as soon as possible.”
”Miss Fang. No one other than our young master can decide whether or not there will be a next meeting between you. This isn't something that anyone can arrange. Please, leave.” Ah Nan waved his hand, and two security guards appeared at the door. Noticing Fang Lu's motionless form, Monica laughed and said, ”Don't tell me you're waiting for the guards to toss you out?”
”Just you wait!” Fang Lu spat out those words viciously before stomping away.
Fang Lu never saw Ying Qingcang again after that. Monica no longer replied to her texts too. When she resorted to the same threat, claiming that she would disclose the thing between Monica and Ah Nan to Ying Qingcang, Monica only responded with two words: suit yourself!
That, of course, nearly drove Fang Lu mad with fury. If she failed to convince Ying Qingcang to collaborate with her, she would have trouble coming up with a decent excuse to tell her stepfather. Today, she was loitering in a mall alone. When she turned her head, she accidentally saw Xin Qing pushing a baby stroller past her.
Fang Lu picked up her pace followed Xin Qing. After a while, she saw Xin Qing entering a coffee shop with another woman with the baby stroller.
”This shop makes special cakes for babies and it tastes great!” Xin Yudie settled her twins into their respective high chairs. Xin Yudie glanced at Ah Sha who was sitting in her own chair, grinning happily. Unable to resist, Xin Yudie ruffled Ah Sha's hair and praised, ”This kid is so obedient and so easy to bring around. My twins had refused to sit in these high chairs at first. Feeding them is enough to exhaust me to death!”
Xin Qing smiled gleefully. ”Hm. Ah Sha is obedient indeed. At first, I thought most children are obedient like her. Well, that is until I saw the tantrums of other children back in the workshop we attended just now.”
”Right. As if that's even possible.” Xin Yudie passed the menu to the waiter and stared at Xin Qing with wide eyes. ”I'm telling you, you haven't seen those annoying kids.”
Dessert was served, and the two mothers busied themselves with scooping dessert into the tiny bowls specially designed for children. When the children began digging into their dessert, Xin Yudie leaned back against the couch comfortably.
”You have your marriage licence now,” Xin Yudie said. ”So. When are you planning to have kids?”
Xin Qing spent a brief moment mulling over the question. ”Don't' know. We'll just let nature take its course, I guess!”
”What about contraception? Are you guys using birth control?”
Xin Qing had an implant before. But even with the implant, she had gotten pregnant once, so she was no longer convinced of its effectiveness. She shook her head and said, ”No.”
”That's strange. It's been so long already, how come you're not pregnant yet?” Xin Yudie asked, chuckling. ”I know Ying Qingcang's capable. I mean, just by looking at the love bites on your neck, I can already tell how passionate you both are in bed.”
Xin Qing glared at the other woman and tugged at her own collar. ”How did you even notice?”
Xin Yudie chuckled. ”Oh, come on. That's nothing!” Xin Yudie glanced around their surroundings, and then she pulled down the front of her dress, revealing all the kiss marks on her pale chest. Xin Qing nearly screamed as she covered her own mouth. ”Your husband did this?”
Xin Yudie rolled her eyes. ”Who else if not him! He hasn't been seeing other women for the past two years. In fact, he's suddenly become so obsessed with my breasts. He even tries to hug them to sleep every night!”
Xin Qing covered her face, too embarrassed to speak. Xin Yudie pulled Xin Qing's hand off her face. ”I was talking about myself. What are you acting shy for?”
Xin Qing could not help but marvel at the sight of the current Xin Yudie, who was smiling so beautifully.
”You're really happy, aren't you?” Xin Qing remarked suddenly. ”I almost forgot how you used to look like back when you were dead set on bullying me.”
Xin Yudie laughed. ”Yeah! Scheming against others is the most pathetic way to live one's life. Good thing I didn't wallow in that mistake forever!”
The two women chatted happily. Soon, the topic switched back to children. Xin Yudie suggested Xin Qing see a traditional Chinese doctor in order to get her health back on track. Neither of them realized that someone else had been eavesdropping on their entire conversation. In fact, the beginnings of an evil scheme had already formed in the eavesdropper's mind.
