1318 I Only Want You 16 (1/2)
”Why didn't you go back with them?”
An Xiaoning hollered, ”Because I saw you entering this restaurant. Why can't you eat at home? Why must you come here for a meal!?!”
”Am I not allowed to come out for a meal occasionally?”
”Of course you are, but the point is, it's only ten o'clock right now. Are you hungry already?”
”I can't control when my hunger strikes.”
An Xiaoning asked, ”What would you like to eat? Place your order.”
”My date is not here yet. I'll order later.”
”You asked someone out for a meal? Who?” An Xiaoning asked.
”Does it concern you?”
”…”
An Xiaoning could sense that he was boiling with fury. How did I even provoke him in any way?
What a lunatic.
The two of them fell silent.
An Xiaoning rested her chin on her hands and kept her eyes fixed onto him.
Feeling extremely uncomfortable about the way that she was staring at him, he quickly looked out of the window.
Ten minutes later, Li Baozhen arrived.
Upon the sight of her, An Xiaoning's heart sank. ”You're here, Ms. Li. Take a seat.”
Li Baozhen did not expect that An Xiaoning would be present too. She smiled and said, ”Thank you. I was rather shocked to receive a call from Brother Qingyan all of a sudden. I didn't expect him to ask me out for a meal. It so happens that I have the day off today.”
”Oh, I see. Qingyan just wanted to ask you out for a meal to ask about how you've been doing because he had been too busy to see you lately. After all, you're his benefactor and he'll always remember your kindness.”
”I'm doing fine. I've been going to work and having my meals regularly. I stay in my room after work and go out to take a breather occasionally.”
Henry handed her the menu and said, ”Order whatever you'd like to eat.”
”Alright.”
Li Baozhen selected a few dishes before handing the menu to An Xiaoning. However, An Xiaoning did not order anything because she wasn't hungry.
An awkward silence filled the air as neither of them knew what to talk about.
At this moment, An Xiaoning said to Henry out of the blue, ”I want a second baby.”
”!!!”
The four other people immediately stared at her.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang chuckled while Li Baozhen remained silent, feeling extremely awkward.
Henry had no idea how to answer her.
If they were alone, he would have brushed her off by saying, ”Go have a baby on your own.”
However, there were people around.
Thus, he had no choice but to say, ”I happen to have that in mind too. Let's talk about it properly when we get home.”
They had unknowingly rubbed salt into the wounds of the three singletons.
An Xiaoning understood that he did not know about the fact that it was near-impossible for her to conceive again, for he did not experience the things that she and Jin Qingyan had been through and, thus, did not have any recollection of them.
She gently extended her leg toward him and hooked it around his.
Henry froze in shock and looked at her menacingly. He knew that it was definitely not Li Baozhen since she was sitting right beside him.
After the dishes were served, An Xiaoning took a few bites and stopped eating.
When she grabbed a serviette to wipe her mouth, she dropped it onto the ground by accident. She then bent forward to pick it up and groped Henry's leg at the same time.
Henry was filled with anger.
How dare she flirt with me when we're in public?
