Sensing the sudden drop in temperature, Tong Qiao's expression changed instantly as she picked up her phone. "Chief Lu, you must have heard wrongly. I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about an old man who was sitting beside me earlier on."
"Is that so?" Lu Jinshen did not expose Tong Qiao as he looked at her with a fake smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." Tong Qiao nodded her head respectfully at the side and said with a fawning expression, "As the saying goes, men have 31 flowers. Right now, you're at the peak of your male charms. With a successful career and maturity, how could you be old?"
Lu Jinshen knew that Tong Qiao was just trying to flatter him without any sincerity. Even so, he could not help but curl his lips and reply seriously, "I'm 28, not 30."
Tong Qiao froze for a moment. Was there a need to argue with her about the age of one or two? Even if he was 28, he was still an old man. She would only be 20 in two days' time, alright?
Even though that was what she thought in her heart, she did not dare to say it out loud. "28 is even younger! That's great! You're still a young man!"
Young man? Lu Jinshen furrowed his brows slightly. She had gone overboard with her bragging. "Have a seat."
"Oh." Tong Qiao sat down with a straight face.
"Pack your things after dinner and return to the capital with me in the afternoon."
"Aren't we getting our marriage certificate on the 1st of October?" Tong Qiao's eyes widened. "It's only the 23rd of September today. It's still early."
"Isn't your birthday the day after tomorrow?"
Tong Qiao nodded her head. "So?"
"Your father asked me to bring you back for your birthday …"
Tong Qiao's heart skipped a beat. "You want to get your marriage certificate after your birthday?"
Looking at how Tong Qiao looked as though she was about to face a great enemy, Lu Jinshen furrowed his brows. "If you want to, I can arrange the itinerary to accommodate you."
Tong Qiao blinked her eyes and reacted. She hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need, no need. You're so busy every day. How can I disturb you over such a small matter? You don't have to worry about me. If you don't have time, you can delay it. I understand."
Tong Qiao pretended to be considerate of Lu Jinshen, but her eyes were obviously perfunctory.
Lu Jinshen said, "Yeah."
When Tong Qiao heard that there was hope, she asked cautiously, "Do you want to postpone it?"
"No need."
The hope in Tong Qiao's heart was shattered, and she instantly became listless. Alright, she knew that she couldn't escape this calamity. She had to force her way through.
During dinner, Lu Jinshen asked Tong Qiao, "Why aren't you drinking?"
"I'm …" Tong Qiao almost said the word 'pregnant', but she swallowed it back in time. "It's a special period. I can't drink."
Lu Jinshen frowned slightly. Why was it that every time he came to Fan City, it was always a special period for her? The last time they went to the resort together, she didn't soak in the hot springs because it was a special period.
Lu Jinshen was more meticulous. After calculating the date, he said, "Is your period irregular?"
"Huh?" Tong Qiao didn't know why Lu Jinshen suddenly said such a thing and didn't react at all.
Lu Jinshen said, "The date isn't right."
Tong Qiao blinked. The two of them were not on the same page at all. "What date isn't right?"
Lu Jinshen didn't say anything else. He thought to himself that when he went back, he would have to ask an old Chinese doctor to treat her.
After dinner, Lu Jinshen and Huo Yanqing greeted each other and then sent Tong Qiao home.
When they went downstairs, Lu Jinshen's gaze fell on Tong Qiao's waist.
