Xia An 'an almost jumped out of her chair.
The waitress was actually her adoptive mother! She was wondering why she couldn't find her in the restaurant. It turned out that she had disguised herself as a waitress. This was very bold because she would be very close to Si Lijue. They were so close that they could clearly see each other's faces. Fortunately, her adoptive mother was wearing a hat and was very low.
If one didn't deliberately look at her face, it wouldn't be easy to spot.
But even so, Xia An 'an was still frightened.
Didn't they agree to watch from afar? Why did her adoptive mother suddenly change her mind at the last minute?
Her adoptive mother looked at Si Lijue with a burning gaze. Xia An 'an had the illusion that she would pounce on Si Lijue at any moment. Her adoptive mother's every move made her so nervous that she broke out in cold sweat. She didn't dare to stare at her for fear of arousing Si Lijue's suspicions.
Calm down!
Xia An 'an, you must calm down!
Si Lijue wouldn't deliberately look at the waitress. As long as her adoptive mother didn't do anything that crossed the line, she wouldn't be noticed.
She pinched her thigh hard, using the pain to calm herself down. Then she smiled at Si Lijue. "Sir, how does the food taste?"
Si Lijue ate elegantly and said slowly, "It's so-so. It's a far cry from your cooking."
"Cough cough …"
If there was water, Xia An 'an would probably spit it out.
She wiped her cold sweat and said awkwardly, "Sir, we're still in someone else's restaurant. Please keep a low profile …"
"I'm telling the truth. It's just that it's not as good as yours."
"Thank you, thank you."
You'd better shut up.
"Is there anything else?"
Si Lijue suddenly turned around and asked her adoptive mother.
Xia An 'an's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She stiffened and looked at her adoptive mother in surprise. She didn't leave immediately after delivering the food. Instead, she kept staring at Si Lijue. Xia An' an was really scared out of her wits. She tried to give her adoptive mother a look, but she didn't see it.
She just lowered her head and shook her head.
Then she left immediately.
When Xia An 'an saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, Si Lijue started to stare at his foster mother's back thoughtfully.
Xia An 'an asked nervously, "Sir, why do you keep staring at that waiter?"
Si Lijue frowned. "I feel like …"
"What are you doing?"
Xia An 'an's eyes widened.
"I think that waiter's back looks familiar."
Xia An 'an clenched her fists so tightly that her fingertips dug into her palms. She said, "Maybe I've seen it somewhere before. The dishes are getting cold. Let's eat first."
She quickly changed the topic.
But Si Lijue frowned and said, "It's better not to eat it."
"Ah?"
Xia An 'an's heart was in his throat again.
Si Lijue's brows were still tightly knitted together. "I feel that there's something wrong with that waitress. Her gaze was very intense just now. I suspect that there's something wrong with the food."
"It can't be …"
Xia An 'an could understand why her gaze was so intense. Her foster mother had always wanted to see Si Lijue in person. Now that she had seen her son, it was inevitable that her gaze would be so intense. However, Si Lijue didn't know that, so he felt that his foster mother's behavior was very strange.
"An 'an. Are you familiar with this restaurant?"
Si Lijue asked.
"Erm, I just passed by again. The environment is not bad …"
Si Lijue was also thinking about something.
Seeing that he was silent, Xia An 'an was very nervous. She carefully stole glances at Si Lijue. She was very worried that he would call the waitress out for a confrontation. If her foster mother was discovered, everything would be over.
Si Lijue was also looking at Xia An 'an.
He realized that she was still very nervous. He could tell that her entire body was stiff.
She had said that this was the first time she was treating someone to a meal. If he didn't eat, she would definitely be sad.
She thought for a moment and said, "Let's change to another table. This one's already cold."
"Erm, is that so?"
Xia An saw that the soup on the table was still steaming.
"Let's change to another table!"
Si Lijue said.
He had made too many enemies. He didn't know when they would dig a hole for him to jump into.
It was still too dangerous to casually eat outside.
"Alright, let's change to another table."
Xia An 'an compromised.
As long as the waitress didn't come out for a check, Xia An 'an could negotiate.
This time, Si Lijue sent someone to watch over the cooking in the kitchen.
When the dishes were served again, Xia An 'an was a little worried. What if her foster mother came up again? Si Lijue had changed the dishes because his foster mother was too suspicious. If she came up again and looked at him with that kind of burning gaze, he would definitely be suspicious.
But fortunately, the person serving the dishes this time was different.
After that, Xia An 'an didn't see her foster mother again. It seemed that she knew when to stop.
This meal was frightening. Xia An 'an almost collapsed.
After the meal, Si Lijue had to leave because of an urgent matter at the company. He asked the driver to send Xia An 'an back first, but Xia An' an refused. She said that she had eaten too much and wanted to take a walk. She would go back later.
After getting rid of the driver, Xia An 'an quickly went to look for her foster mother. This time, she called her foster mother and the call went through immediately.
"Mom!"
"An 'an."
When Xia An 'an saw that her foster mother finally picked up the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief. She told her the location where they were to meet up.
When she saw her foster mother rushing over, Xia An 'an said, "Mom, you almost scared me to death just now."
Her foster mother said apologetically, "An 'an, I'm sorry. I was going to go according to plan. But when we were in the restaurant, one of the waitresses suddenly felt unwell. I discussed it with them and they asked me to take over temporarily. I thought that I would be able to see Ah Jue up close this way, so I agreed."
When Xia An 'an heard the whole story, she felt a little helpless.
But she couldn't throw a tantrum at her foster mother. After all, she was also meeting her son. She could only say, "Next time, can you tell me in advance when something like this happens? I was really shocked when I saw you walk out just now. Ah Jue was a little suspicious of you just now. I was really worried that he would suddenly call out to you. What should I do? "
"Haha, he's fine, isn't he? Don't worry. I'm relieved to see that Ah Jue is fine. "
Her foster mother said with relief, "Ah Jue, you two were very close.
When I heard your conversation just now, I felt that he was very good to you. Have you become very good friends with him? I've been with that child for so many years, but I've never seen him speak so gently to any girl. "
Xia An 'an froze. She laughed dryly and said, "Aren't I taking care of his food and living? We're already familiar with each other. As long as you're familiar with Ah Jue, he's very easy to talk to. "
"That's right. That child is cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Her foster mother nodded.
When Xia An 'an saw that her foster mother accepted this reason, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I'll send you back to the hotel first."
"Okay."
The foster mother was very satisfied to see her son.
Just as they were walking back, suddenly, a group of bodyguards dressed in black surrounded them.
Xia An 'an subconsciously put his foster mother behind him. He looked at the group of bodyguards warily and asked, "Who are you people?"
At this time, from the encirclement of numerous bodyguards, a slender figure slowly walked out.
