Not too long later, Leng Nuan walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food in her hands.
She glanced at Lu Benlai, only to see that he was still standing by the sofa with Keke in his arms. Thus, she said, "Keke, wash your hands. Come and eat."
Hearing those words, Lu Benlai snapped out of his daze. By the time he turned his gaze back to Leng Nuan, she had already returned to the kitchen.
He knew that even though Leng Nuan was calling Keke, her words were directed at him.
He really did not expect that she would let him into her house, let him stay for dinner … and even talk to him …
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Lu Benlai carried Keke into the washroom.
By the time he finished washing Keke's hands and brought her out of the bathroom, Leng Nuan had already placed the dishes on the table.
Lu Benlai first placed Keke on the chair she was sitting on before taking a seat beside her.
Leng Nuan didn't speak to him, but a bowl of soup was placed in front of him.
Although he didn't drink the soup, looking at the ingredients made him think back to four years ago, when he returned home from work, he always saw the same soup on the dining table …
"Daddy, hey …" Seeing that Lu Benlai wasn't moving at all, Zhang Xuan reached out to grab the latter's collar.
Recovering from his daze, Lu Benlai picked up Keke's bowl and spoon and began feeding her.
Since Lu Benlai was the one feeding her, Keke wasn't like the auntie who fed her in the past, eating and playing at the same time. So, it didn't take long for Keke to be full.
"Let Dad eat. Can you go play by yourself for a while?" Leng Nuan glanced at Lu Benlai's untouched chopsticks, then carried the clingy Keke out of her chair and said.
Let daddy eat … Daddy … Hearing those two words coming out of Leng Nuan's mouth, Lu Benlai's fingers subconsciously trembled.
Coco nodded obediently. "Okay."
Then, he turned to look at Lu Benlai, and seeing that the latter hadn't eaten yet, he said, "Daddy, it's time to eat."
Hearing Keke's words, Lu Benlai recovered from his daze and replied with a "Alright" before picking up his chopsticks.
But as soon as Lu Benlai picked up his chopsticks, he ran off to watch a cartoon by himself.
At the dining table, only Leng Nuan and Lu Benlai were left.
Neither of them spoke to the other.
The taste of the food was still the same. Even after so many years, nothing had changed.
As Lu Benlai continued eating, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat, making it hard for him to swallow.
If only … if only he hadn't lost her … how good would that have been …
With such thoughts in mind, he turned to look at Leng Nuan, who was seated beside him, and subconsciously moved his lips, "Nuan Nuan …"
He had only said those two words, but Leng Nuan seemed to know what he was going to say next. She raised her head to look at him and said, "The soup is already cold. I'll go heat it up for you."
As she spoke, she stood up, took the bowl of soup in front of him, and entered the kitchen.
Lu Benlai knew that Leng Nuan had guessed what he was going to say, so she interrupted him.
He didn't insist on talking to her anymore. After she heated the soup and came out, he pretended as if nothing had happened and silently ate his meal.
On the other hand, Leng Nuan seemed to have been startled. She didn't return to the dining table. Instead, after placing down the bowl of soup, she went over to the sofa to accompany Keke.
…
Even though it was the weekend, Lin Jiayi still received a call in the afternoon asking for an urgent document, so she had her assistant rush it over.
