Chapter 489: Scheming Again (Part 1)
It’s just, that child’s crying is really annoying.
Crying and crying, it’s like the neighbor’s child is crying their soul out, the noise is unbearable, it’s giving her a headache.
She wonders who is dining next door, so lacking public decency. Bringing a child out to eat, and letting him cry like this.
"Alright, alright, I’ll go say something." Ouyang Yi responded good-naturedly, then headed next door. He knew it was Jiang Xue’s group next door and knew the crying child should be Jiang Xue’s kid, so he truly wanted to go over and see what was happening.
Why did the good child start crying?
At this moment, Ouyang Yi didn’t really know what was going on with himself, why he felt the urge to care about Jiang Xue’s child. Logically, he should be on the same side as Lu Ling.
"Aren’t you going yet?" Lu Ling urged, and Ouyang Yi quickly got up and went next door.
However, when he got there, the child had stopped crying. He hesitated for a moment, but Ouyang Yi still knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, he pushed it open and went in.
"President Ouyang, is there something you need?" Shangguan Wenbin looked at Ouyang Yi as he entered and asked indifferently. He didn’t particularly like or dislike Ouyang Yi.
However, considering the other’s status, befriending someone like this had its advantages. So, Shangguan Wenbin was still relatively polite to Ouyang Yi.
"I just heard a child crying, so I came over to check. How’s the child, is everything alright?" Ouyang Yi asked while glancing over at Little Reunion.
At this moment, Little Reunion was in Mrs. Jiang’s arms, with tears still on his face. However, he was no longer crying.
"It’s nothing, sorry to disturb your meal." Jiang Xue said lightly, then glanced at Little Reunion.
He overate, got spiced, who else can he blame?
"I’m glad he’s alright. If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to ask." Ouyang Yi hadn’t expected Jiang Xue to apologize to him and felt a bit embarrassed.
Actually, he wasn’t bothered by the child’s crying, just Lu Ling. Thinking of Lu Ling, Ouyang Yi couldn’t help but feel a headache.
He always knew she had the temperament of a young miss; he should have gotten used to it by now. But as they say, there’s no harm in comparison, and he couldn’t help comparing Lu Ling with Jiang Xue.
Although Jiang Xue sometimes had a sharp tongue, compared to Lu Ling’s princess-like temperament, she was much easier to deal with.
"Thank you, but no need, kids cry and it will pass." Jiang Xue rejected lightly; she had no intention of getting closer to Ouyang Yi. Even if he was illustrious, she just wanted to keep her distance.
Seeing the child had indeed stopped crying, Ouyang Yi didn’t stay long, politely excused himself, and returned to the table next door.
As he went back, Lu Ling got to her feet and said, "I’m not in the mood, I’m done eating. You finish by yourself."
"Lingling, what’s wrong? Are you still mad?" Ouyang Yi blocked Lu Ling, trying to please her, and said, "How about I take you somewhere else to eat?"
"No need, I don’t feel like eating anything. You take your time, I’m going out for some air."
With that, Lu Ling stormed out sharply. Seeing she was still mad, Ouyang Yi immediately chased after her. However, just a few steps out, a server stopped him, saying, "Sir, you haven’t settled the bill yet."
Ouyang Yi had to stop, pay the bill first, and when he chased outside again, Lu Ling was already nowhere to be seen.
