Just then, a small head suddenly peeked in slowly through the open door of their private room.
It looked around as if searching for something.
Seeing only three men in the room, the round little head was about to turn away in disappointment.
However, she took a closer look and saw a young man with an exceptionally handsome profile. The little head couldn't help but turn back to steal a few more infatuated glances.
After a few glances, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise and joy. She pushed the door open and jogged toward Jiang Cheng.
She cried out happily, "Brother Jiang Cheng."
Jiang Cheng, who was eating, suddenly felt something soft pounce onto his lap.
Looking down, he saw a pair of watery big eyes blinking at him with a bright sparkle.
After seeing clearly who had suddenly sprawled across his legs, Jiang Cheng said in surprise, "Annie? What are you doing here?"
"Wow, it really is you, Brother Jiang Cheng! Why are you here too?"
Seeing Annie excitedly hugging his lower body, Jiang Cheng immediately pried her hands away.
Holding Annie's hands in his palms, Jiang Cheng looked at her and said seriously, "Annie, you can't just hug boys like this anymore, okay?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng's serious expression, Annie's little mouth pouted and she frowned. "Why?"
Jiang Cheng said earnestly, "Because not all men are good people. You're a girl, so you need to know how to protect yourself."
Annie gazed at Jiang Cheng, still looking a bit confused. "But you're Brother Jiang Cheng, is that not okay either? You're a good person; you saved me."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was about to speak again, Annie immediately pulled on his arm and said in a childish, coquettish voice, "Alright, Brother Jiang Cheng, I get it. I know who's good and who's bad. I understand, you don't need to say any more."
Looking at Annie, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head speechlessly.
She really was a naughty child who knew how to read the room and act spoiled.
"Why are you here? Where's your mother?" Jiang Cheng asked with a frown. Every time he saw Annie, he had a bad premonition.
Hearing this, Annie's eyes flickered with a hint of guilt. "My mom... she's having dinner in a private room."
Seeing Annie's shifty eyes, Jiang Cheng's face immediately darkened.
This expression was the standard look for a naughty child caught red-handed.
Seeing the intimacy between Jiang Cheng and Annie, Wang Congcong asked curiously.
"Jiang Cheng, whose kid is this? She's quite cute."
"Annie? Could she be Sister Xin's child?" Chen Hao asked, looking at Annie.
"She is. Her mother is a luxury watch collector named An Xin," Jiang Cheng said to Wang Congcong.
"Oh, her. I didn't realize she had a child," Wang Congcong said in surprise.
He saw Wang Congcong and Chen Hao discussing An Xin.
Annie couldn't help but pout in dissatisfaction.
She was already someone who judged people by their looks; not only were these two strangers not good-looking, but they were also talking about her mother having a child out of wedlock.
Annie gave them both a side-eye, moved closer to Jiang Cheng, and pulled his hand. "Brother Jiang Cheng, can you take me to find my mom?"
Jiang Cheng curled his lips and asked intentionally, "Oh? Which private room is your mother in? You lead the way."
"Ah, probably... Brother Jiang Cheng, I forgot. I was so happy to see you that it slipped my mind..." After saying this, Annie rubbed her nose and smiled sheepishly.
"Annie, your nose will get ugly if you lie."
"Fine, I don't know which room she's in, but I heard she was eating here with someone, so I came to look for her."
"You came here by yourself? Your mom doesn't know, does she?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng's face darken, Annie quickly grabbed his shoulder tighter and said coquettishly, "Brother Jiang Cheng, don't be mad. My mom left me at the dessert shop next door with a nanny, but I ran away when she wasn't looking. Lean in, let me tell you something."
Looking at how clever this naughty child was, he shook his head helplessly and leaned his ear in.
Annie whispered in Jiang Cheng's ear, "I heard my mom is on a blind date here, so I snuck over to find her."
