Chapter 45 The Gilded Chamber Conceals the Beauty

Hearing the commotion, Lin Xi, who sat at the head of the table, cast a casual glance towards the door.

Upon seeing Qin Jijing, her brows furrowed.

The Qi Family, all three of them, looked towards the door as well and brightened up at the sight of the newcomer. "Ah, Xiaoqin is back."

"Hurry, hurry, greet your brother."

Ignoring the speaker, Qin Jijing took off his coat and handed it to the butler, then strode toward the head of the table, "Good evening."

Madam Lin's mood soured further at the sight of him, her tone ambiguous, "Weren't you so busy at the company that you couldn't make it back?"

"Mmm, I finished early; I was worried you'd be lonely eating by yourself."

"…" Madam Lin didn't say anything, "Sit down."

After sitting down, Qin Jijing then nodded towards the Qi couple opposite him.
