When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 540: Reunion with Lu Qilin (10)

The person over there seemed to have seen her too and slowly stood upright.

Tang Yanqi paused for a moment and walked toward him.

It’s cool under the shade, and the heat seemed isolated from here.

"Senior, long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Lu Qilin was still as gentle as he was in her memory, but inexplicably, there was an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.

After all, a three-year gap stood there, making it feel like nothing had changed, yet everything seemed to have changed.

In the past, Tang Yanqi wouldn’t feel awkward due to a lack of words in the presence of Lu Qilin. Now, there was a hint of that feeling. In fact, when she reunited with Qi Cheng and Bai Bing, she also felt a moment of awkwardness, but it was very brief. Only with Sheng Jianan did it feel like they hadn’t been apart for three years, but were just in a three-day cold war.

Tang Yanqi steadied herself and smiled: "Senior, did you come to see Bingbing?"

Lu Qilin pulled at the corner of his mouth: "Just passing by."

Passing by? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Would someone passing by wait here on purpose?

But Tang Yanqi didn’t expose him and smiled: "I was passing by too, and thought Bingbing would be off work soon, so I came to have dinner with her."

Lu Qilin looked at the time, not yet 4:30: "She still has some time before she’s off work. We haven’t seen each other in a long time, should we find a place to sit? There’s a nice Italian café nearby."

Tang Yanqi was slightly startled, then nodded: "Sure."

"I saw Mr. Sheng a couple of days ago and knew you were back. I didn’t expect to see you so soon."

"You’ve seen him?"

Lu Qilin took a sip of coffee, still wearing a gentle smile like a breeze: "Yes, I happened to settle a score with him and unexpectedly found out he seems to have misunderstood something."

"Settle a score? Misunderstanding?"

Lu Qilin nodded: "I once told him that if he made you sad, I would definitely take you away, no matter who he is, I’d do my utmost. But in the end, he did hurt you, and I couldn’t take you away."

These words might be a bit awkward coming from someone who once pursued her, but for some reason, Tang Yanqi didn’t sense any awkwardness from Lu Qilin’s mouth. It was as if he was just talking about something very ordinary, like "the weather will be nice tomorrow, so remember to use sunscreen."

He wasn’t awkward, and neither did Tang Yanqi feel awkward. She smiled lightly to change the topic: "And the misunderstanding?"

At this, Lu Qilin was silent for two seconds before speaking: "He seems to think you gave me a sum of money."

"Money?"

"I don’t know the specifics either, but in short, he thought the money I started my business with came from you, or something about selling a house."

Tang Yanqi was stunned, selling a house?

That’s right, she did sell a house, fifty million.

But it had nothing to do with Lu Qilin, so how did Sheng Jianan misunderstand?

The thought flashed like lightning, and fragments of the past emerged in Tang Yanqi’s mind.

She sold the house, gave the money to Tang Ruhai, and during that time, Lu Qilin happened to be leaving B City to start his law firm. He then invited them for a meal, and that day, Sheng Jianan was on a business trip, and she never managed to contact him again.

Later, Mr. Sheng passed away, and she was rejected by the Sheng Family, and after her mother died, she finally broke down and left.

Back then, it didn’t feel like that, but now thinking back, it seems like everything started with that farewell meal with Lu Qilin.

It may seem a bit far-fetched saying that, but it really feels like everything started from that day.
