Chapter 18: When Did My Blind Date Become Yours?
Qin Hengzhi’s pupils contracted.
He hadn’t expected Lu Qiaoge to have such great strength either.
Liu Feng was an adult male.
He was even more surprised that Lu Qiaoge was so fast, reaching Liu Feng’s side almost in the blink of an eye.
She stepped on Liu Feng’s chest with one foot, her voice icy cold and her glance fierce: “Who gave you the courage to slander me and my older brother? Tell me, who did you bring to the restaurant today?”
Everyone in the restaurant was shocked and stared wide-eyed.
They incredulously watched Lu Qiaoge kick Liu Feng flying with one foot.
Chen Yan was also stunned. She was about to rush over, but Lu Qiaoge turned her head and tried to use a gentle voice to say to her: “I have no relationship with Liu Feng whatsoever, so you must stay calm. This man might want to make it so you die with the child. If you get emotional, you’ll fall for it.”
Chen Yan clutched her belly and stopped in her tracks in panic.
Qin Hengzhi frowned and looked back to see Manager Ma from the restaurant running over, out of breath.
He stood by his side about to speak.
Qin Hengzhi said in a deep voice: “Call the hospital just in case.”
Manager Ma saw Chen Yan’s pale face and hurriedly ran behind the counter to make the call.
Liu Feng only felt pain all over his body, the pain making his vision go black intermittently.
Lu Qiaoge moved her foot away.
Liu Feng hadn’t expected Lu Qiaoge to have such great strength; he hadn’t even had time to react.
He clutched his chest and staggered to his feet, looking at Lu Qiaoge gloomily and gritting his teeth: “Lu Qiaoge, it was you who shamelessly insisted on going on a blind date with me.”
【That woman is hiding in the Qingshan private room upstairs.】
【Her name is Wang Qiqi; her dad is the workshop deputy director.】
【She’s cursing and losing her temper right now, and she smashed a bowl of steamed radish with meat.】
The calico cat and Swallow quickly ran back to report the situation to her.
At this moment, Qin Hengzhi had already walked over and gave a deep look at Lu Qiaoge, who seemed about to punch someone.
This young woman looked so sweet and obedient, appearing harmless, yet she struck without warning.
He calmly asked Liu Feng: “My blind date partner, when did she become yours?”
These words caused an uproar!
Even Lu Qiaoge looked at Qin Hengzhi in shock.
Had she heard correctly?
Qin Hengzhi had actually said she was his blind date partner?
The waitress clapped her hands happily: “See, I didn’t show you the wrong room. You really are on a blind date.”
This further proved from the side that Lu Qiaoge was actually on a blind date with Representative Qin.
Of course, not everyone here knew Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge.
But seven or eight people did recognize them.
Especially Liu Feng, who finally recognized this young man in a white shirt and black trousers as the military representative at the factory, Qin Hengzhi.
Speaking of which, he was his superior leader.
His face immediately turned deathly pale.
He no longer dared to insist that Lu Qiaoge had been on a blind date with him.
“Liu Feng.” Qin Hengzhi straightened his cuffs, his expression calm and emotionless: “What do you say we should do?”
Liu Feng stood rigid in place, sweat dripping down from the frame of his gold-rimmed glasses: “Qin… Representative Qin, this is all a misunderstanding, sorry!”
He looked at Lu Qiaoge and gritted his teeth: “Sorry, today’s matter has nothing to do with you. I shouldn’t have dragged you and your older brother into it.”
At that moment, the calico cat suddenly shouted: 【Wang Qiqi is squatting on the window sill in the corridor, like she’s about to jump.】
Lu Qiaoge suddenly asked: “Liu Feng, aren’t you worried that the female comrade you brought here might act rashly in a moment of desperation?”
Manager Ma looked puzzled, but Liu Feng’s face changed drastically. He paused for an instant, then rushed upstairs.
Chen Yan instinctively wanted to chase after him, but then she understood everything.
The others had understood long ago.
Chen Yan’s face was ashen as she squatted on the ground, burying her head and sobbing.
Several kind-hearted female comrades didn’t watch the spectacle and sympathetically walked over to comfort her and check the situation.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t move, just watching indifferently.
At this time, the on-duty doctor from the hospital pushed the door open, followed by Liu Feng’s mother who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Soon, Liu Feng’s mother took Chen Yan and followed the on-duty doctor out of the restaurant.
The restaurant suddenly fell silent.
Manager Ma and the waitress had just followed Liu Feng upstairs.
At the counter, only Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge remained.
Qin Hengzhi lowered his gaze to Lu Qiaoge: “Weren’t you going to find your younger sister?”
Right, where had this girl run off to?
She glanced at the calico cat and said to it in her mind: 【Hua Hua, help me see where Qiao Ling went?】
The calico cat leaped down from the window sill in a flash and ran toward the public toilet.
Lu Qiaoge casually walked out slowly with Qin Hengzhi.
The more than a dozen people in the restaurant couldn’t keep staring.
But once they left, they began discussing in low voices.
“Lu Qiaoge just had her engagement canceled, and now she’s on a blind date with Representative Qin? I wouldn’t believe it if it killed me.”
“Didn’t Representative Qin say it himself?”
“He’s definitely just helping her out of kindness. With Lu Qiaoge’s family background, she doesn’t match up to Representative Qin at all.”
“I feel Representative Qin was just kindly helping her. After all, Lu Qiaoge was slandered by that bastard Liu Feng.”
“Don’t casually discuss the military representative. Eat your food!”
The hall fell silent for a moment as guests gradually entered the restaurant one after another.
Someone couldn’t help asking again: “By the way, who was that woman with Liu Feng? Why hasn’t she come down from upstairs yet?”
“You’re kidding. Does she have the face to come down? She probably already left through the back door by now.”
Zhao Jinbao and his sister exchanged glances, not knowing what they were thinking.
At this time, Lu Qiaoge was thanking Qin Hengzhi.
“Thank you for helping me out.”
Qin Hengzhi gave Lu Qiaoge a deep look and said calmly: “Actually, even if I hadn’t said anything, you could have handled it well.”
Lu Qiaoge felt this made sense.
Moreover, if Representative Qin hadn’t been here, she definitely would have beaten Liu Feng badly.
Daring to make her take the blame?
He probably didn’t know how to write the word “death.”
But Lu Qiaoge still humbly said: “No, no, without your words, it wouldn’t have had such a good effect.”
Qin Hengzhi just smiled without speaking.
At this time, the sunset had fallen behind the mountain, the last ray of afterglow lingering on his brow, his eyes darkening into a deep pool in this hazy light.
He stood quietly under the tree, appearing very reserved, but actually he was thinking—he didn’t quite understand his own earlier behavior.
There were clearly many ways to resolve it, so why had he chosen this one?
But seeing Lu Qiaoge’s innocent and bewildered look, he swallowed back the words asking if she minded.
Fortunately, a jeep pulled up to the roadside at that moment.
Qin Hengzhi politely nodded to Lu Qiaoge, then got in the car and soon sped away.
Once he left, Lu Qiaoge felt a huge sense of relief.
This person was too complicated, impossible to figure out.
Better to keep her distance.
So Lu Qiaoge glared with wide eyes at Lu Qiaoling, who was dawdling back.
Seeing her second sister’s expression seemed off, Lu Qiaoling scratched her hair and explained: “I just went looking for the toilet. I remember there’s one nearby, but I couldn’t find it, so I ran over there, which is why I was delayed.”
