20: C20 It's Pier 3 Again

C20 It's Pier 3 Again

Qiao Yumeng asked Lu Chen. She knew it was an engagement party, so she wore a long black dress. She had bought this dress for the company's anniversary before she returned to China.

The design of the dress outlined Qiao Yumeng's figure very well. Her waist was stretched and her thighs were partially visible.

It was impolite to not put on makeup at such a banquet, so Qiao Yumeng, who had not put on makeup for a long time, was even more beautiful and moving under the makeup embellishments.

"Can I join like this?" Qiao Yumeng opened the bedroom door and walked out. She walked around in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked at her carefully and nodded like a gentleman. "Sure."

"What about the hair? Do I need to go out and do a haircut?" Qiao Yumeng's hair was hanging naturally behind her.

"This is good." Lu Chen tilted his head to take a look and gave an answer.

"Really?" Qiao Yumeng muttered softly and walked into the bathroom to look at herself in the mirror.

Lu Chen sat on the sofa and waited for her. He did not rush her. Qiao Yumeng probably did not know that when she asked Lu Chen just now, it made their relationship like a couple.

After thinking for a long time, Qiao Yumeng decided to let her hair fall behind her naturally. She took a diamond necklace and put it around her neck as a decoration. She also changed Qiao Yuxi's dress and prepared to leave.

On the way, Lu Chen asked while driving, "Do you guys have time for the weekend? I heard that Nancheng recently developed a new wetland park and the scenery is very good."

"I have time." Qiao Yuxi answered before Qiao Yumeng did.

Qiao Yumeng originally wanted to refuse but could only forcefully suppress it and ask, "Since it is a wetland park, it should be able to barbecue in the wilderness or something, right?"

"Yes, it just wants us to bring food and tools."

"That's pretty good. Let's invite Cheng Nuo over for the weekend, right?"

"Sure." Lu Chen replied.

Qiao Yumeng did not know why, but she felt Lu Chen did not treat her like an ordinary friend. Did she think too much?

Later on, Lu Chen asked Qiao Yuxi about the kindergarten. Qiao Yuxi's shocking words made Lu Chen very surprised.

It was not until the car reached Pier 3 that the conversation between the two stopped.

Looking at this familiar place, Qiao Yumeng did not want to talk for a long time.

"The banquet is held here?" Qiao Yumeng's hand that was holding her skirt trembled slightly. She still remembered everything that happened on the ship that day.

Lu Chen was very observant. He looked at Qiao Yumeng's hand and said, "This dinner is a wedding engagement banquet for a colleague of mine. Fu Qianchen should not be coming."

"Okay." Qiao Yumeng subconsciously let go of her hand.

"Mom, what's wrong here?" Qiao Yuxi frowned and looked out the car window. Her small face was full of doubt. After a long while, she let out a "ah" sound and turned to look at Qiao Yumeng. She reached out and hugged Qiao Yumeng's arm, "Mom, you don't need to worry. That bad auntie's boat is not on the shore."

"What bad auntie?" Lu Chen asked.

Qiao Yumeng took a deep breath and answered, "Nothing."

"It's okay, Mom. I will protect you." After she finished speaking, Qiao Yuxi raised her little fist. She probably felt that she did not have the ability, so she looked at Lu Chen. "Uncle Lu, you will also protect Mom with me. Right?

Qiao Yuxi's words made Lu Chen and Qiao Yumeng a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Lu is not willing to protect my mother?" Qiao Yuxi frowned.

"I did." He rubbed the top of Qiao Yuxi's head and got out of the car.

The wind was soothing and the temperature was good. It seemed everything was just right, but Qiao Yumeng felt her heart was in chaos. It was as if something was going to happen. She could not help but ask Lu Chen, "Are the people at the banquet all your colleagues?"0

"It should be." Lu Chen nodded.

Qiao Yumeng took a deep breath and followed Lu Chen to a nearby cruise ship. A married couple stood at the entrance and welcomed them.

After Lu Chen and the woman chatted for a while, the woman looked at Qiao Yumeng and praised her sincerely. "No wonder you never wanted a girlfriend. It turns out you have such a beautiful girlfriend."

"She is my good friend, not a girlfriend. Doctor Zhang, you misunderstood." Lu Chen replied politely.

The woman looked at Qiao Yumeng apologetically. "I'm really sorry. I'm used to joking with Dr. Lu. Don't mind it."

"It's okay." Qiao Yumeng shook her head gently.

The woman's eyes quickly fell on Qiao Yuxi who was holding Qiao Yumeng's hand. "Is this cute little angel your daughter?"

"Yes." Qiao Yumeng nodded and looked at Qiao Yuxi, "Yuxi, say hello to auntie."

"Not auntie." Qiao Yuxi shook her head and looked at the woman with a smile and said, "It's elder sister. Hello elder sister."

When Qiao Yuxi said that, the woman smiled and gave Qiao Yuxi candy and a rose. "Little angel, you are so cute."

"You're also very pretty." Qiao Yuxi replied.

"So cute." The woman looked at Qiao Yumeng enviously, "I hope I will have such a cute child in the future."

"You will." Qiao Yumeng replied.

Lu Chen walked in from the entrance and looked at Qiao Yumeng with a smile, "You are really good. You taught Yuxi to be so smart and sensible."

"I think she learned it herself." Qiao Yumeng helplessly spread her hands, "Sometimes, I am also shocked by what she said and cannot say anything for a long time."

"Is that so?" Lu Chen could not hold back his laughter, squatted down and directly carried Qiao Yuxi up, "Our Yuxi is so smart, can she be considered a genius?"

"She can't be considered a genius." Qiao Yuxi rolled her eyes and replied, "But she is definitely smarter than ordinary children."

"Hahaha!"

The three of them laughed very happily but their happiness did not last long because they met Qiao Yurou who was looking at them coldly at the corner.

Qiao Yurou saw Lu Chen and Qiao Yumeng together and immediately put on a mocking expression, "Lu Chen, I didn't expect you to actually like second-hand goods."

"Second-hand goods?" Lu Chen frowned and the expression on his face turned cold. The coldness between his brows was completely different from his usual refined appearance. Very quickly he opened his mouth again and said, "Some people say second-hand goods but forget that they happen to be second-hand goods, right?"

"You!" Qiao Yurou gritted her teeth and her gaze quickly fell on Qiao Yumeng. After a long while, the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, "Qiao Yumeng, you probably don't know that Qianchen will also attend tonight's banquet."

It was different from what Qiao Yurou expected. When she heard Qiao Yurou say so, Qiao Yumeng smiled in disdain, "So what if he came to attend? Could it be that this is his engagement banquet and I need his invitation to be qualified to come?"

"That's right. This is not Fu Qianchen's engagement banquet with you. What are you so proud of?" On the other side of the road, Cheng Nuo held Tan Yue's arm and walked over.
