That woman was Liang Silai, who also noticed Rong Qi and immediately greeted her with a smile, “Rong Qi? What a coincidence.”
Rong Qi was surprised to see Liang Silai here, but she preferred not to indulge in meaningless pleasantries.
Rong Qi said indifferently, “Indeed, quite a coincidence.”
Rong Qi’s eyebrows furrowed as she gazed at the token in Liang Silai’s hand.
Liang Silai noticed that and purposefully showed her the sign and explained, “This is my appointment number with Master Zenith. Are you also here to see him, Rong Qi?”
Rong Qi didn’t reply but nodded.
“Did you make an appointment?” Liang Silai asked.
“No.”
Liang Silai smiled and said, “Then you might not be able to see Master Zenith today. He only meets one or two people with fate each day, and sometimes only a few in a month. Even those with appointments have to wait, let alone you without one.”
Rong Qi looked at Liang Silai with a hint of amusement at her apparent sense of superiority. The two, who normally had no interactions, made Rong Qi wonder why Liang Silai liked to seek validation in front of her.
Rong Qi replied, “Master Zenith meets people with fate, it has nothing to do with appointments. He is a master, not a doctor.”
Caught off guard, Liang Silai had no response.
Just then, a voice called out from behind Liang Silai, “Silai.”
Liang Silai turned around, and so did Rong Qi.
A well-maintained middle-aged man approached them.
“I’ve finished offering incense. Is it not your turn yet?” the man asked. His cold exterior softened as he focused on Liang Silai.
The man paused upon seeing Rong Qi. As he arrived, Liang Silai showed a girlish shyness and said, “Minghang, I might have to wait a bit longer. Oh, have you met Rong Qi? She is Nanshen’s newlywed wife.”
Ye Minghang, not recognizing Rong Qi, said, “Nanshen’s wife?”
Rong Qi nodded slightly and greeted him, “Uncle.”
Although they hadn’t met before, Rong Qi had seen Ye Minghang’s photo.
‘He looked younger and more charismatic than in his photos. No wonder Liang Silai chose to stay by his side, enduring as a mistress. Not just for money, but also for his charm. Yet, he seemed to have no presence in the Ye family. When Grandpa was deciding on the successor, he bypassed Ye Minghang, choosing Ye Shaochen instead. His background seemed simple, almost uneventful.’ Rong Qi thought.
Ye Minghang sized up Rong Qi while she observed him. Their gazes met, and Rong Qi remained confident.
After a moment, Ye Minghang diverted his gaze with an indifferent response. He took Liang Silai’s hand and said, “Didn’t I tell you to dress warmly? It’s cold here. Let’s go to the room and rest.”
“Okay.” Liang Silai acted obediently, like a cat beside Ye Minghang.
‘No wonder Ye Minghang had an affair so boldly. Liang Silai was gentle and charming, while Ms. Liu was obviously a shrew, older and harsher. Anyone would choose the younger, beautiful cat.’ Rong Qi thought.
Liang Silai, looking at Rong Qi, said, “Then I’ll go with Minghang first. Take care, Rong Qi.”
Rong Qi nodded.
After a thought, Liang Silai added, “Next time you come to a place like this, it’s better to have Nanshen accompany you. It’s too lonely to come alone. Unlike me, Minghang accompanies me wherever I go.”
Liang Silai glanced at Ye Minghang while saying that and Ye Minghang looked at her with tenderness.
Rong Qi chuckled lightly, “I prefer Shen to earn money and support the family while I play. We have our own roles; he doesn’t need to accompany me.”
Their expressions changed slightly at Rong Qi’s words.
Liang Silai bit her lip, lowering her head and not speaking further, led away by Ye Minghang, whose eyes no longer held the previous affection and tenderness..
