010. The Mistress Becomes Increasingly Immature

She looked at Lu Moqing's inexplicably ugly face with a smile, feeling extremely delighted in her heart.

At this moment, her mobile phone rang, and an unexpected call came through on Qiao Xu's phone.

"Qiao Sheng?"

Qiao Xu's eyebrows knitted in mild disgust; a trace of aversion and repulsion appeared without any concealment in her eyes.

Her father, who would never actively look for her without reason, must have no good intentions suddenly reaching out to her today.

She answered the call, her face expressionless: "President Qiao, what can I do for you?"

The cold tone and address caused the person on the phone to pause for a few seconds, "Xuxu, you've been back in the country for a few days, do you have time to have dinner with your dad?"

This seemingly normal request made a trace of ridicule rise in the corner of Qiao Xu's eyes.

Although she wasn't interested in having dinner with Qiao Sheng, out of curiosity, she agreed.

"Alright, where should we meet?"

"Nanyuan Restaurant."

"Okay, I got it."

Not giving Qiao Sheng any more chance to speak, she hung up the phone directly and looked at Lu Moqing who hadn't left yet, and said, "President Lu, please make way."

Lu Moqing looked at her, and with a slight curve of his thin lips said, "I see, it's my father-in-law inviting you to dinner. Wife, you don't mind me joining, right?"

Although he asked for Qiao Xu's opinion, he didn't give her a chance to refuse. He opened the car door himself and sat down on the passenger seat, feeling perfectly justified.

Qiao Xu's face turned pale with anger, "Lu Moqing, can you be more shameless?"

"I can."

Lu Moqing answered matter-of-factly; his deep eyes lazily regarded Qiao Xu's flushed cheeks and said, "If you refuse me again, I can kindly show you even more of that."

Qiao Xu was so angry she couldn't speak, glared at him for a while, but eventually chose to compromise. After all, causing a scene in this busy hospital wouldn't benefit her.

This Lu Moqing, four years apart, and while everything else remained the same, his face had grown thick enough to make bulletproof vests for the Ministry of Defense.

Starting the car, she didn't want to waste her breath on Lu Moqing anymore and headed straight to Nanyuan Restaurant.

Seeing that Qiao Xu didn't insist on driving him off the car, Lu Moqing's lips lifted into a good mood.

For four years, he had never felt as relaxed as he was at this moment.

Nanyuan Restaurant—

Qiao Xu didn't know why Qiao Sheng had specifically invited her to such a formal place for dinner after all their father-daughter relationship wasn't good.

After four years apart, the relationship between the two was more like strangers.

Lu Moqing volunteered to park the car for her, and she didn't mind having a free valet. After tossing the keys to Lu Moqing, she didn't wait for him and went straight in.

"Miss Qiao, please come this way, President Qiao is waiting for you."

The waiter led Qiao Xu to a quieter corner seat.

Next to Qiao Sheng sat a girl about her age; Qiao Xu's pupils narrowed thoughtfully.

Who was this girl? Was she Qiao Sheng's woman outside?

Qiao Sheng, raising younger and younger mistresses, was truly impressive.

Qiao Xu's eyes didn't hide her contempt as she walked straight to Qiao Sheng and sat down.

"President Qiao, tell me, why did you want to see me?"

Qiao Xu's attitude remained cold from start to finish.

Qiao Sheng's face was a little awkward, but he had always been somewhat wary of Qiao Xu. Even after four years apart, that wariness had never diminished.
