Chapter 398: Tonight’s surprise

Everyone chatted and enjoyed the food.

Lin Youjuan secretly glanced at her phone, but she still didn't receive a reply from Lu Qingye, and felt uneasy for some reason.

Meng Chuyuan was chatting with Lu Qianling for a while, but she didn't pay much attention to Lin Youjuan. When she turned her head to pick up the food, she realized that Lin Youjuan hadn't moved her chopsticks yet.

She took a few pieces of meat from the hot pot and put them into Lin Youjuan's bowl. She said softly: "Mom, stop looking at your phone and eat quickly."

Lin Youjuan hummed softly, then quietly leaned towards Meng Chuyuan and asked in a low voice, "When can we go home?"

"It will probably end at nine o'clock." Meng Chuyuan raised his eyes and saw that Lin Youjuan was in a bad state. Meng Chuyuan instinctively put down his chopsticks and focused on her, with a hint of worry in his tone: "What's wrong? Yes. Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Lin Youjuan truthfully told Meng Chuyuan her concerns: "I told Aye in the afternoon that the program team invited me to attend the closing banquet. I wonder if he will come when he sees the news after finishing his work. If it ends early, What if he makes his trip in vain?"

When Meng Chuyuan heard this, his concern for her gradually turned into helplessness, "What did I think it was?"

After a moment of silence, Meng Chuyuan comforted her: "Don't worry, he must be measured. Let's not dwell on this matter. Let's eat."

"Okay." Lin Youjuan checked the time before putting down her phone. It was not even half past seven.

She was an easily tangled person. Although Meng Chuyuan's words could comfort her, after thinking about it, Lin Youjuan decided to tell Lu Qingye.

So, she sent Lu Qingye a location and left a text message: [Son, Xiao Meng said that the closing banquet will end at about nine o'clock. If you can come over if you have time after you are done with your work, forget it if you can't make it. I didn’t say that! 】

The dinner lasted for about ten minutes, when suddenly a guest parachuted into the scene.

Qi Zhan: "Family members, I'm back!"

"Welcome, welcome..." Seeing Qi Zhen appear, everyone spontaneously applauded.

The moment she caught a glimpse of Qi Zhen walking in, Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, with shock on her face. She did not expect Qi Zhen to come back at all.

Director Luo: "Welcome to the return of brother Qi Zhen! Let's ask brother Qi Zhen to say a few words to everyone."

"Hello everyone, my name is Qi Zhen. I want to tell everyone that I am not the return guest today, but Qi Yan's family and friends! I'm done, thank you!"

Qi Yan: "..."

Netizens originally thought Qi Yan was the loneliest person in the audience, but they didn't expect Qi Zhen to be back, and his identity had also changed.

[Ah ah ah, my Qi Zhen is back again! 】

[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah, yeah, brother, Qi Zheng, I'm gonna be late but I'm gonna love him so much]

[I don’t know why, but my eyes felt a little hot when I saw this. I wonder if Qi Yan was moved or had the same reaction as me...]

[This is tonight’s surprise, right? Woohoo~]

Qi Zhen greeted the guests at each table, and finally came to Qi Yan and sat down.

He called Qi Yan "sister" softly.

Qi Yan glanced at Qi Zhen, she really couldn't understand his operation, and said coldly: "What are you doing here? It's really unnecessary."

Faced with Qi Yan's sarcastic remarks, Qi Zhen did not refute or explain.

The invitation letter sent by the program team was with Qin Wanyu. She was originally going to come over tonight, but she was seen by Qi Zhen when she was about to go out. Only then did he know that the closing banquet included inviting family members.

Because Qin Wanyu was pregnant, she was worried about letting her go out alone, so Qi Zhen persuaded her mother to go back and come over by herself. (End of chapter)
