Ning Ge just happened to be passing by and suddenly started missing Qi Xiaoqi, so he called her over to meet up.
"Why didn’t you come eat at home?" Cheng Su unbuckled Qi Xiaoqi from the carrier and handed him over to him.
Ning Ge caught him, pinched his godson’s cheek, gave him a kiss, and answered, "Qi Taiguo’s not home, and I’m too lazy to go up there. Plus, it’d mean making you two cook. Might as well eat at a restaurant—hands clean, no trouble."
Cheng Su snorted and asked him where he’d come from.
"I made a trip to Shanghai. Started missing my godson, so I swung by to see him. I’m heading back to the Capital tomorrow," Ning Ge said.
"Running all over the world... I knew it, someone as busy as you, how would you ever have time to come see us!" Cheng Su laughed, then called Qiulan over and ordered two dishes.
"Look who’s talking. How’d you get this skinny?" Ning Ge pointed at her face.
Cheng Su touched her own face, calmly brewed tea, poured him a cup, and said, "I was sick for a bit, and there’s been a lot going on."
"What happened?" Ning Ge immediately pressed.
"Nothing much. Qi Taiguo’s eldest aunt in Taiguo had a stroke, I helped deal with things over there. It was a hassle at the time, best not to bring it up. How’s your business going? Everything smooth?" Cheng Su didn’t want to talk about that irritating mess and steered the topic away.
"Not bad." Ning Ge said, "That plot in the Capital, the buildings are up. We’re getting ready for pre-sales now!"
As he talked about business, Cheng Su listened quietly, chiming in now and then. She actually had quite a bit of insight into real estate, and everything she said hit the mark; Ning Ge really got a lot out of it.
"Anything feel off lately?" After one round of business talk, Ning Ge asked, sounding casual.
"What’s that supposed to mean?" Cheng Su shot back.
"Nothing, just asking." Ning Ge said as he held onto Qi Xiaoqi’s little hand.
Cheng Su put down her teacup and squinted at him.
