441: Are you afraid of being seen eating together?

Hearing that Lin Zifeng had to return to Yushu City to handle important matters, and that he had invited him to visit Yushu City when he had time, Jiang Lincheng quickly said, "Work is important, work is important."

"Once I can find the time, I will definitely get a few classmates together to come to Yushu City and have a good get-together with you and Yuhang."

Jiang Lincheng then turned his gaze toward Chen Yuqing and her son, and spoke again, "Secretary Lin, are these two your Spouse and child?"

Lin Zifeng had been trying to skip the part where he introduced Chen Yuqing and her son, but the curious Jiang Lincheng brought it up anyway.

Lin Zifeng was very worried; after all, Jiang Lincheng worked in the provincial capital. With just a little effort, he could find out the true relationship between Chen Yuqing and him. Sometimes, one should not underestimate a person's curiosity.

If that happened, and he introduced the mother and son as his wife and child now, wouldn't he be confessing without being asked if it were exposed one day in the future? It would bring him unnecessary trouble.

But if he didn't admit that he and Chen Yuqing and her son were a family, why would he appear here with them? Wouldn't that make Jiang Lincheng suspicious?

Just as Lin Zifeng was racking his brain trying to figure out how to introduce Chen Yuqing and her son, Chen Yuqing spoke first.

"Hello, Minister Jiang. I am Zifeng's Older Sister-in-law, Chen Yuqing. My sister took my other family members to the parking lot to get the car, which is why she isn't with us. I am going to find my sister and the others now."

"You and Zifeng can chat slowly; I won't disturb you any longer."

After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Lincheng to speak, Chen Yuqing smiled, nodded, took Chen Haotian's hand, and walked outside.

Lin Zifeng could not help but marvel at Chen Yuqing's wit and flexibility, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Secretary Lin, so you were having a meal with your family! Your Older Sister-in-law is truly beautiful; your Spouse must be just as stunning! You, Secretary Lin, are truly a lucky man!"

Jiang Lincheng said with an envious look.

"Minister Jiang, I won't stand here and chat about these useless things with you. You should hurry to your banquet! Don't keep them waiting."

"Let's meet up again another time! Goodbye for now."

After saying this, Lin Zifeng reached out his hand to Jiang Lincheng once again.

Jiang Lincheng shook hands with Lin Zifeng and said, "Secretary Lin, I won't delay you and your family's weekend anymore. Until we meet again."

After shaking hands and saying goodbye, Lin Zifeng walked quickly out of the restaurant, arrived at the parking lot, got into the car with Chen Yuqing and her son who were waiting by the car, and drove away quickly.

On the way back to Chen Yuqing's house, Lin Zifeng said while driving, "Yuqing, your ability to improvise is even better than mine!"

"If you hadn't been so quick-witted just now, I wouldn't have known how to answer that Jiang Lincheng."

"It's nothing, I suppose it was just quick thinking!"

"Zifeng, after this incident, we need to be even more careful when we take Haotian out for outings in the future."

"We absolutely cannot let trivial matters affect your future."

"We cannot lose the big picture because of our own carelessness!"

Chen Yuqing said earnestly, her eyes firm.

Hearing what Chen Yuqing said, Lin Zifeng nodded and said, "Today's incident was just too coincidental; we just need to be more careful in the future."

Hearing their conversation, Chen Haotian asked, seemingly understanding but not quite, "Mom, Maternal Aunts Husband, when we come out to play and eat together, are we afraid of being seen by others?"

Hearing what Chen Haotian said, the two exchanged a glance, and Chen Yuqing spoke first, "No, son, don't let your imagination run wild."

"It's because Maternal Aunts Husband works in the government system. If he runs into some colleagues, they might think that Maternal Aunts Husband isn't working properly and is slacking off!"

"It has nothing to do with us going out to play and eat together."

To avoid leaving a bad shadow in Chen Haotian's young mind, Chen Yuqing could only use such words to fool Chen Haotian.

Hearing what Chen Yuqing said, Lin Zifeng quickly added, "Haotian, Mom is right. The uncle just now asked me how I had so much time to come out and play, and even asked me if I had finished all my work!"

Hearing what the two of them said, the confusion on Chen Haotian's face vanished. He smiled, nodded, and said, "Then when we come out to play in the future, we'll come out secretly so that Maternal Aunts Husband's colleagues won't see us."

The two agreed and then exchanged glances.

The general content of their eye contact was that in the future, they would have to be more careful when speaking around Chen Haotian. Chen Haotian was slowly growing up and already had his own thoughts.

They could fool him this time, but when Chen Haotian grew a bit older, it wouldn't be so easy to fool him again.

Lin Zifeng drove back to the Residential Community. After the three of them got out of the car, they went upstairs together.

Closing the door, Chen Yuqing said, "Zifeng, take Haotian to take a nap! Although Haotian had a good time this morning, he must be quite tired."

"Wait until Haotian falls asleep before you leave!"

Lin Zifeng nodded and took Chen Haotian toward the room.

Chen Haotian knew that Lin Zifeng was about to leave, so he tried hard to stay awake a little longer, but he was really tired from playing in the morning, and it was his daily nap time, so within ten minutes, Chen Haotian fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that Chen Haotian had fallen asleep, Lin Zifeng kissed Chen Haotian on the cheek and turned to walk out of the room.

Walking out of the room, Lin Zifeng saw that Chen Yuxi and her daughter had already arrived and were sitting on the sofa. Lin Yining was nodding off in Chen Yuxi's arms.

Lin Zifeng walked over, took Lin Yining from Chen Yuxi's arms, carried her into the room, settled the sleeping Lin Yining, and then turned to come back to the Living Room.

Lin Zifeng looked at The two sisters and said, "Yuxi, Yuqing, I'm heading back now."

The two sisters stood up together, and Chen Yuxi said, "Husband, drive slowly on your way back and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Chen Yuqing handed him a bottle of coffee she had prepared in advance, and then said, "Zifeng, drinking some coffee on the road can help you stay refreshed and less likely to get drowsy while driving. Call Yuxi when you arrive in Yushu City to let us know you're safe."

"Don't worry, you two! This distance is nothing to me. Don't you know how strong my body is?"

"You don't need to come out to see me off."

After saying this, Lin Zifeng took the bottled coffee and turned to walk toward the door.

The two sisters obediently stopped at the door. Seeing Lin Zifeng disappear at the stairwell, they withdrew their gaze, turned around, closed the door, and returned to their home.

After Lin Zifeng went downstairs, he quickly drove out of the Residential Community. After driving a few kilometers, he parked the car on the side of the road, then took out his phone and called Wang Ziyan.

Wang Ziyan answered the phone quickly, and Wang Ziyan's pleasantly surprised voice immediately came from the receiver.

"Zifeng, where are you? Isn't today Sunday? Aren't you resting at home? How do you have time to call me?"

The subtext of Wang Ziyan's words was: How dare you call me while you are at home?
