Lu Jinshen entered the house and heard a childish voice. "Daddy."
Lu Jinshen looked up and saw Lu Ziqian sitting on the sofa and smiling at him. He turned to ask Fu Zhilei, "Why is Ziqian here?"
Fu Zhilei smiled and said, "The nanny is on leave. There's no one at home to cook, so I asked Sister-in-law to come over and help."
Lu Jinshen's face immediately darkened. "Sister-in-law?"
"Sister Yufei … I mean Sister Yufei."
"Don't call her by the wrong name in the future."
Fu Zhilei nodded. "I know."
Lu Jinshen changed his shoes and entered the house. His gaze swept across the living room. "Where's Dad?"
"Dad went out to attend to something."
Lu Jinshen heard this and stopped in his tracks. He looked coldly at Fu Zhilei and turned to walk towards the door.
Fu Zhilei hurriedly grabbed Lu Jinshen's arm. "Brother, where are you going?"
"Home."
Fu Zhilei grabbed Lu Jinshen's arm and refused to let go. "I'm leaving in a few days. Can't I have you accompany me for a meal?"
Lu Jinshen frowned and said coldly, "Are you asking me to accompany you for a meal?"
Fu Zhilei knew that Lu Jinshen had seen through her thoughts. She cleared her throat awkwardly and used the way she acted coquettishly with Fu Zhengyao. She tugged at Lu Jinshen's arm and gently shook it. "Brother …"
At this moment, Lu Ziqian trotted over. He looked up at Lu Jinshen and asked softly, "Daddy, can you accompany Ziqian for a meal?"
Fu Zhilei smiled and said, "Brother, your son asked you to stay for a meal. Why don't you stay for a meal?"
Lu Jinshen withdrew his arm and looked at Fu Zhilei coldly with pursed lips. Fu Zhilei felt uncomfortable, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "Brother, are you afraid that Tong Qiao will be unhappy? It's just a meal with your ex-wife. Does she have to care? What's more, I'm here. Brother, you have no dignity as a man … "
"Shut up." Lu Jinshen interrupted Tong Qiao coldly.
Fu Zhilei shrunk her shoulders and didn't dare to make another sound.
Sheng Yufei, who had been nervously hiding at the kitchen door, walked out and looked at Lu Jinshen from afar. "I'll leave as soon as I finish cooking. I won't cause you any trouble."
Lu Ziqian timidly reached out and gently tugged at Lu Jinshen's sleeve. "Daddy …"
Lu Jinshen patted Lu Ziqian's head. "Are you hungry?"
Lu Ziqian hurriedly nodded.
Lu Jinshen held her little hand and led her inside. "Let's eat."
"It'll be ready soon. I'll cook another vegetable." Sheng Yufei smiled happily and turned into the kitchen.
Soon, the dishes were placed on the table. Sheng Yufei scooped the rice and stood to the side. She had no intention of sitting down. "You guys eat. I'll clean up the kitchen."
Fu Zhilei pulled Sheng Yufei back. "Sister-in-law …" She received a cold look from Lu Jinshen and hurriedly changed her words. "Sister Yufei, you don't have to clean up. Let's eat together while it's hot."
Sheng Yufei secretly glanced at Lu Jinshen. The man's face was calm and he didn't say anything. Sheng Yufei felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles. Even eating with him had become an extravagant hope. She forced a smile. "It's okay. You guys eat. I'm not hungry."
"Brother." Fu Zhilei turned to look at Lu Jinshen. "Why are you like this?"
Lu Jinshen glanced at Fu Zhilei coldly. Fu Zhilei snorted and stomped her feet. She put down her chopsticks and said, "If you don't let Sister Yufei eat, then I won't eat either."
Lu Jinshen sensed a small gaze on him. He turned to look at Lu Ziqian. The little boy hurriedly lowered his head. His thick hair covered the top of his head. The light shone on his small figure and made him look lonely.
After two seconds of silence, Lu Jinshen looked up at Sheng Yufei. "Sit down and eat together."
Sheng Yufei shook her head with red eyes. Her voice was choked with grief. "I'm not hungry …"
"Ziqian is hungry." Lu Jinshen's voice was low and deep. It was not as gentle as before. There was a strong sense of distance in his voice, and the meaning was obvious. He asked her to sit down and eat together because he was taking care of Ziqian's feelings.
Sheng Yufei did not expect Lu Jinshen to be so cold when he was heartless. It was as if the man who used to take care of her in every possible way was not him. He was as cold to her as he was gentle to her in the past.
Her heart felt like it was being crushed by an eggbeater. It hurt to the bone.
Sheng Yufei suppressed the tearing pain in her heart. She sat down, picked up the bowl, and ate. The food was tasteless and difficult to swallow.
The atmosphere at the dining table was quiet and heavy. It was extremely depressing.
Halfway through, Lu Ziqian said that he needed to go to the bathroom. Lu Jinshen got up and went with him.
As soon as the man left, the tears that Sheng Yufei had been holding back for a long time fell.
Fu Zhilei hurriedly pulled out a few pieces of tissue and handed them over. She apologized in a low voice. "I'm sorry. I didn't expect my brother to be so heartless …"
"It's not his fault." Sheng Yufei cried and shook her head. "It's my fault. I'm not as capable as Tong Qiao. I can't make him stay."
Fu Zhilei snorted. "Hmph, Tong Qiao is not capable at all. She's just a shameless vixen. She used some seductive tricks to pester my brother. Do you know why my brother hasn't come yet? It's because he was seduced into bed by that vixen Tong Qiao. It's not even dark yet, and she's already done such a shameless thing. It's said that birds of a feather flock together. Shuxin must be pestering Yanqing like her. That's why Yanqing ignored me and was so heartless to me, just like how my brother treats you. They've all been tricked by those two bad women. "
Sheng Yufei cried even harder silently. Her tears fell in bunches.
At this moment, Fu Zhilei understood Sheng Yufei's feelings very well. She was furious. "No, we can't let that vixen seduce my brother." Fu Zhilei suddenly thought of something. She leaned over to Sheng Yufei and whispered in her ear.
A glimmer of light flashed across Sheng Yufei's eyes. However, she looked stunned. "No, Jin Shen will be angry after this."
"What's there to be afraid of? Even Tong Qiao dares to do it. Why don't you dare? My brother might be angry after this, but you two are husband and wife. You still have Ziqian. He won't really do anything to you. At most, he'll give you a lecture. And I'm his sister. He won't do anything to me. However, he can make Tong Qiao uncomfortable. Tong Qiao is a woman who can't tolerate sand in her eyes. When the time comes, she'll definitely kick up a fuss. Then, you and my brother will be able to get back together. "
Sheng Yufei appeared to be moved and conflicted. "Then I … I …"
"Don't bother. It's settled." Fu Zhilei saw Lu Jinshen and Lu Ziqian coming out of the bathroom. She interrupted Sheng Yufei and made the final decision.
Lu Jinshen had just sat down when Fu Zhilei said that she was done eating. She put down her chopsticks and went upstairs. After a while, she went downstairs and entered the kitchen.
After dinner, Fu Zhilei came out with tea. "Brother, have some tea."
Lu Jinshen's deep gaze landed on Fu Zhilei's face. His eyes were filled with curiosity and doubt. Fu Zhilei, who had never done any household chores, actually took the initiative to make tea?
Fu Zhilei's palms became sweaty under Lu Jinshen's sharp gaze. "Brother, why are you staring at me like that? Is there a problem with a sister making tea for her brother? "
