Xiao Bai picked up a piece of ham and munched on it, replying inaudibly, “Thank you!”
“It’s fine, but you can’t continue eating after this bowl. You should only eat till you are 80% full for dinner.”
“Why?”
“Lest the food accumulates.”
“What is food accumulation?” Xiao Bai asked curiously.
“That happens when you eat too much and can’t digest everything, causing damage to your stomach.”
As both of them chatted, the door to the room was opened. Thinking that it was Shi Guang, Qian Xun turned around, only to face a tall man in military uniform.
Instantly, she froze up.
Xiao Bai, who was eating, placed his chopsticks down immediately before coughing out in a rush, “Daddy!”
The same way he would carry machine guns in the army, Lu Yanzhi whisked Xiao Bai up with one arm and slammed him back onto his chair roughly before sitting down at the chair beside Xiao Bai’s.
Qian Xun was utterly shocked at the way Lu Yanzhi was treating Xiao Bai, as though the latter was an object. This was especially the case for the slam where she thought Xiao Bai would even fly off!
However, Xiao Bai, on the other hand, was used to it as he sniggered to his father after sitting properly. “Daddy, why are you here?”
“Your little auntie told me to come fetch you.” After Lu Yanzhi sat down, he did not even look at Qian Xun as though she was non-existent.
At times, Qian Xun really wanted to strangle Shi Guang to death—to think that lass would sabotage her as such!
She wanted to leave immediately. However, the vibes given off by that sturdy man were way too intimidating, such that she did not even dare budge.
It was almost 6 years now, and Qian Xun thought that that was enough time for her to forget someone and be braver. Yet, his aura had only turned shaper and more domineering after the 6 years. He had merely watched her from a distance that day, and that was enough for her to feel nervous. Now that he was seated right in front of her, her heart was pounding profusely such that she did not even dare meet his gaze—how useless was she!
As though she did not want herself to be that useless, Qian Xun pretended as though nothing was wrong and raised her head, looking at the man before her courageously. “You are?”
The man with his head lowered did not look at Qian Xun still. Instead, a cold, mocking smirk curled from his lips.
Xiao Bai looked at Qian Xun before replying, “Auntie, this is my daddy!”
He then looked to his father. “Daddy, this is Auntie Qian Xun!”
“Don’t interrupt!” Lu Yanzhi picked up the pair of chopsticks that were meant for Shi Guang and took some food for Xiao Bai. “Eat your food and we’ll go home right after.”
“Oh.” Xiao Bai did not dare utter another word as he lowered his head and ate.
Qian Xun knew that Xiao Bai had already eaten a lot. The food that was in his bowl initially was more than enough. Now that Lu Yanzhi was giving him so much more food, wouldn’t the kid bloat to death?
“He’s already had a lot of food.” Qian Xun was merely thinking in her heart when she had already blurted the remark out by accident. Right after she spoke, she regretted it right away—what was she doing caring for Lu Yanzhi’s son? Nosy!
Lu Yanzhi placed his chopsticks down slowly before looking at Qian Xun straight in the eye. Giving a fake smile, he finally spoke, “Miss Su, so thankful for your dedicated efforts in taking care of my son!”
That indifferent reply brought with it hints of coldness.
Qian Xun could naturally hear his mocking tone. Closing her eyes, she heaved a deep breath of air. When she finally composed herself, she took her bag and got prepared to leave.
But right at that moment, the door to the room was opened once more.
Shi Guang had arrived along with Lu Yanchen, looking rushed and worried.
