I just want to be a salted fish quietly Chapter 182

“Holy crap!”

This familiar voice of a mature woman.

“Pfft!”

Lin Xian couldn’t hold it in for a moment and spat out all the tea in his mouth.

Ling Youyu also disregarded her shyness, raised her head, and looked utterly bewildered.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Lin Xian coughed twice.

Turning his head, he saw Ling Yiyi standing behind them, playing with her sunglasses, looking at them with a half-smile and great interest.

Beside her, Qin Shi held a book in her hand, a faint smile on her lips.

What the hell…

Jiangning District is so big, and they could still run into each other here?

At this moment, Lin Xian even wondered if this scene was really a coincidence.

“You don’t have to be so excited to see me, do you?”

Ling Yiyi smiled, reached out and pinched Ling Youyu’s cheek, teasing, “Whose daughter is this? She’s so pretty. This little face feels so good to touch!”

“Mmm!”

With her cheek pinched, Ling Youyu let out a soft cry, her large eyes glaring at her indignantly.

Whose daughter is this? Don’t you know in your heart?

Forcing down the urge to retort, Lin Xian coughed, “Ahem, what a coincidence. Sister Ling, have you just finished eating?”

“Little Brother Lin, are you so unwelcoming to us?”

Ling Yiyi said, sitting across from them, and continued, “We just came in, but it seems there are no more seats. You don’t mind sharing a table, do you?”

You’re already sitting down, what the hell can I mind?!

Lin Xian sighed inwardly, speechless, “Then let’s eat together!”

Looking at Ling Yiyi and Qin Shi across from her, Ling Youyu made a bitter face and greeted them, “Aunt Qin, Sister Ling!”

Wait!

What did you call her?

Sister Ling?

Lin Xian raised an eyebrow, his face full of disbelief.

The key was that the little girl said it so smoothly, it didn’t sound like a temporary made-up title at all.

Goodness, he had really learned something new today.

Seeing Lin Xian’s expression, the little girl was almost in tears.

She was suffering inside!

But there was nothing she could do, who told her to have such a mom?

Since childhood, Ling Yiyi had taught her to call her “Mama” at home and “Sister” outside.

When she was younger and didn’t know any better, Ling Youyu hadn’t thought much about it.

It was only when she grew up that she realized how unreliable her mother was.

Ling Yiyi pouted, “What kind of expression is that? I’m only a few years older than you two. What’s wrong with her calling me Sister Ling?”

“Alright, whatever makes you happy!”

Lin Xian smacked his lips and poured them a cup of tea.

Ling Yiyi took a sip of tea, then noticed Xianyu in Ling Youyu’s arms, and her eyes lit up.

“Wow, what a cute little cat!”

Qin Shi also noticed it at this moment. Her eyes, hidden behind her gold-rimmed glasses, shimmered with surprise.

Lin Xian keenly noticed her gaze.

Such a look was rarely seen on her normally.

Second personality?

Coexistence?

Lin Xian felt like he had vaguely found the key.

It should be known that personalities that split off due to dissociative identity disorder exist independently.

When one personality appears, the other personalities fall into a dormant state.

However, Qin Shi’s situation was completely different. According to his observations, Qin Shi’s two personalities seemed to be able to be conscious simultaneously, almost perfectly coexisting in one body.

Lin Xian pondered in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

“Come, let me hold the little cat.”

Women simply couldn’t resist cute things.

Ling Yiyi was no exception.

Ling Youyu, however, was full of vigilance, holding Xianyu tightly with both hands, showing no intention of giving it to her.

Seeing this, Ling Yiyi raised an eyebrow, “I’m usually so good to you, and now you won’t even let me hold the cat, huh?”

Seeing the threatening look in her eyes, Ling Youyu hummed and reluctantly handed Xianyu over.

“Hehe, so cute!”

Taking Xianyu, Ling Yiyi habitually reached out and pinched the little fellow’s face.

Xianyu was very lively and not shy. Held in Ling Yiyi’s arms, it restlessly twisted its body, trying to climb up her clothes.

She slapped away its small paws reaching for her ample chest, and Ling Yiyi said meaningfully, “I didn’t realize, it’s a little perverted cat.”

Lin Xian pouted and snapped his fingers.

Soon, a waiter walked up, respectfully saying, “Hello, sir, do you need anything?”

Lin Xian instructed, “Add one Australian lobster and one king crab to our table, and twenty Gillardeau oysters.”

“Alright!”

The waiter nodded and turned to leave.

Picking up his teacup and taking a sip, Lin Xian’s gaze remained on Qin Shi.

Her current performance was very interesting.

Her expression was the same as usual, elegant and poised, with a faint smile on her lips, appearing exceptionally calm.

But her eyes, like a young girl’s, showed curiosity and surprise.

As if sensing Lin Xian’s gaze, Qin Shi slightly turned her head and looked at Lin Xian, her eyes a little shy and timid.

Lin Xian returned a smile.

At this moment, Ling Yiyi raised her head and teased, “Is it a bit inappropriate for you two to flirt in front of me?”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Shi’s eyes immediately changed, returning to their previous state, becoming like a deep, placid lake, unruffled.

Qin Shi reminded calmly, “Youyu is still here, mind your words!”

“She’s just a kid, what does she know!” Ling Yiyi said indifferently.

Hearing this, Ling Youyu pouted, her eyes glaring at Ling Yiyi with some resentment.

She really wanted to say that she wasn’t small anymore, but considering that she would most likely get her face pinched, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

Originally, when Lin Xian invited her to dinner today, the little girl was incredibly happy.

Imagining the two of them sitting together, quietly enjoying dinner, the little girl felt immensely blissful.

But all of this was ruined by her mother.

A perfectly good two-person world was forced into a four-person tea party.

Lin Xian actually felt a bit fortunate that it was a tea party and not a mother-daughter battlefield.

Ling Yiyi played with Xianyu for a while, then returned it to Ling Youyu.

Looking at Lin Xian, she teased, “Little Brother Lin, be careful tonight, don’t end up in the hospital again.”

In an instant, Ling Youyu’s face flushed crimson, and even her neck and earlobes were tinged with red.

She lowered her head, as if trying to bury her head in her chest.

This incident was her dark history.

Every time Ling Yiyi used it to mock her, she would get incredibly shy.

Lin Xian naturally understood the meaning of Ling Yiyi’s words and couldn’t help but feel a dark line on his forehead.

This biological mother, who could stand it?

Lin Xian glanced at Ling Youyu, his eyes full of sympathy.

Sigh, poor kid!
