Chapter 258: Caught Red-Handed

Xu Tian: "..."

If Tang Bingyan were willing to debut, she would definitely be able to win several Movie Queen awards.

"Forget it, let's go out for a stroll tonight."

Xu Tian didn't intend to pursue it for now: "There's a food festival being held in the commercial area, I heard it's not bad."

"Okay." Tang Bingyan nodded and got up to change her clothes.

"Wife, aren't you going to ask me about the results of the arena?" Xu Tian asked curiously.

Tang Bingyan's movements paused, and then she said faintly.

"You have no problem."

"So much confidence in me?" Xu Tian chuckled. Although he didn't know why Tang Bingyan's filter could be so thick, her unreserved trust still made him feel a warmth in his heart.

"Let's go. Should we let A Wei drive?"

"No need, I'll drive."

Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan went downstairs and happened to meet A Wei. After asking him for the car keys, the two set off.

This food festival was organized and hosted by the Jiangcheng Tourism Bureau, with the goal of boosting tourism in Jiangcheng and surrounding areas. A lot of publicity was done in the early stages, so the response was quite good.

Xu Tian remembered that when it first opened, the entire pedestrian street was crowded with people, and they even had to dispatch auxiliary police to maintain order.

More than a month has passed now. Although the tourists' enthusiasm hasn't diminished, it's ultimately not as explosive as before, and there won't be a phenomenon of people squeezing each other. Only then did he feel relieved to bring Tang Bingyan over.

Otherwise, according to Tang Bingyan's personality, seeing the scene of people queuing to enter the pedestrian street like dumplings, she would probably turn around and go back immediately.

Just walking into the pedestrian street, one could smell the tempting fragrance of various foods.

Because it focuses on world-wide delicacies, whether it's pan-fried buns representing Huaxia characteristics, osmanthus cakes, roasted cold noodles, stinky tofu, or Southeast Asian-style mango sticky rice and papaya salad, everything is available.

"I didn't expect there to be candied haws for sale in this season."

Xu Tian saw the candied haw stall not far away and looked sideways at Tang Bingyan: "Do you want to eat some?"

Tang Bingyan shook her head, but her gaze fell on another stall.

Xu Tian followed her gaze and saw an osmanthus cake stall.

Sure enough, Tang Bingyan still likes this kind of snack that isn't overly sweet.

"Let's go buy some osmanthus cakes." Xu Tian held her hand and walked through the crowd towards the osmanthus cake stall.

He didn't notice the surprised gazes of a middle-aged couple not far away at all.

"Lao Yan, look, is that person Xiao Tian?" Su Xiuya pointed at the osmanthus cake stall and said in surprise.

Ever since Yan Jinsong stopped working at Su Xiuya's younger brother's company, he had a lot of free time. To make up for the suffering Su Xiuya had endured during this time, he would take her out for a stroll when he had nothing to do, and eat dinner outside by the way.

Tonight, Su Xiuya originally wanted to make dumplings for Xu Tian, but Xu Tian wasn't coming over, so she was too lazy to cook. So Yan Jinsong suggested coming to the commercial street to eat, and the two of them went out.

"No way, when you called Xiao Tian earlier, didn't he say he had something to do at the company? How could he possibly come here to go shopping?"

"But it really looks like him!" Su Xiuya walked forward two steps without giving up. After the distance narrowed, she was even more certain that the young man standing next to the osmanthus cake stall and holding a woman's hand was Xu Tian.

"It must be him. I haven't reached the point of being old and dim-sighted, it's impossible to recognize the wrong person." Su Xiuya said firmly.

"Is that his girlfriend next to him?"

"But I remember Xiao Tian saying his girlfriend was also working overtime at the company recently..."

Su Xiuya frowned, as if she suddenly thought of something, and her face changed suddenly.

"Could Xiao Tian be two-timing, taking advantage of his girlfriend working overtime to come out on a date with another woman?"

"Otherwise, why would he be stammering about not having time to come to our house for dinner just now?"

Yan Jinsong was also stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head.

"Xiao Tian is not that kind of person."

"Then what's going on..."

Su Xiuya stared suspiciously at Xu Tian's back and suddenly said: "Xiao Tian!"

Xu Tian used his phone to scan the code to pay. Suddenly hearing someone call his name, he turned his head subconsciously and saw the shocked Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong standing not far away.

Xu Tian was suddenly stunned.

"Godmother, Godfather? Why are you here?"

While speaking, Xu Tian sighed in his heart. He hadn't prepared to introduce Tang Bingyan to Su Xiuya and the others, and he hadn't discussed it with Tang Bingyan either.

"I should be the one asking you. Xiao Tian, didn't you say you were working overtime at the company?"

Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong walked over: "And, this person beside you..."

When they saw Tang Bingyan, who had a queen's aura and flawless facial features, they were all stunned.

"Let me introduce you formally, she is my girlfriend, Tang Bingyan." Xu Tian had no choice but to introduce her to Su Xiuya and the others: "Bingyan, they are the Godfather and Godmother I mentioned to you before."

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he glanced at Tang Bingyan with his peripheral vision, really worried that she would be angry.

After all, Tang Bingyan was very resistant to him establishing overly intimate relationships with others, even if it was just family affection.

This kind of almost domineering possessiveness once made Xu Tian feel suffocated, and it was also one of the main conflicts between him and Tang Bingyan before his rebirth.

But since the two of them made up, Tang Bingyan didn't seem to interfere after learning that he was interacting with Yun Shuo, Su Xiuya, and others.

However, not interfering is one thing, and joining in is another.

Xu Tian hadn't discussed it with Tang Bingyan before introducing her to his godfather and godmother, so he still felt a bit guilty.

"Hello, Auntie and Uncle."

Tang Bingyan nodded indifferently to Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong, counting as a greeting: "I am Tang Bingyan."

Xu Tian saw that her expression wasn't wrong, so he felt relieved and continued:

"It's too noisy here, not suitable for talking. Let's find a restaurant to sit down and chat."

Ten minutes later, the four of them arrived at a private restaurant in the adjacent commercial area. It happened that there was still a small private room available. After they sat down, Xu Tian formally introduced them to each other again.

"Xiao Tian, didn't you say you were working overtime today?"

Su Xiuya asked: "And you said your girlfriend's company was also very busy and didn't have time, how could... do you have something you're hiding from me?"

In front of Tang Bingyan, she didn't say it too bluntly.

She was worried that Xu Tian was two-timing, dating someone else while his girlfriend was working overtime.

"No, it was indeed very busy before, but a meeting was temporarily canceled..."

If he had known that one lie would require countless lies to cover up, Xu Tian wouldn't have used working overtime as an excuse when answering the phone: "It just so happened that Bingyan's company was nearby, so I came to find her for dinner."

"Xu Tian mentioned you to me, but I've been busy with work and haven't had time."

Tang Bingyan understood what was going on after listening to the conversation between Xu Tian and Su Xiuya. Looking at Su Xiuya's hesitant expression, she could probably guess what the other party was worried about. ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
