She took a few deep breaths and opened the door, but she froze. Yan Ningbai was standing at the door.
"Auntie wants you to go down for dinner," Yan Ningbai said, looking up.
He wasn't as cute to her as he was to others.
With that, Yan Ningbai went down first.
Yan Zhiqing heard his cheerful voice coming from the stairs again. "Grandma Chen, give me less rice. I'm growing and need to eat more meat!"
Yan Zhiqing snorted. He was more enthusiastic to a servant than to her. She was redundant in this family!
Yan Zhiqing's eyes turned red instantly.
Her mother was in trouble, but she was used as a shield. No one in this family truly liked her. She felt very lonely and no one loved her!
She went downstairs to the dining room with a sullen face. The two elders didn't speak to her when they saw her like this. They pretended not to see her. Their good days were ruined by the mother and daughter.
Everyone ate happily. Mo Jinxi said, "Chuchu, get me a pipa leg. I can't reach it."
When Lin Chu heard that, not only did he get one for Mo Jinxi, but he also got one for Yan Ningbai and Nan Yu 'an.
Yan Beicheng, who was at the side, wasn't happy. He put the empty bowl in front of Lin Chu.
Lin Chu was speechless.
She glanced at Yan Beicheng. Yan Beicheng calmly glanced at the pipa leg in front of him. It was closer than Lin Chu's. He said shamelessly, "I want one too."
Lin Chu was speechless.
"Isn't it right in front of you? It's even closer than me. "Lin Chu glanced at the plate of roasted pipa leg in front of Yan Beicheng.
"I want you to get it for me," Yan Beicheng said firmly.
Lin Chu saw Old Madam Yan's teasing gaze.
She didn't dare to be rude to Yan Beicheng in front of the elders. If this was in her own house, she would have kicked him.
Now, she could only blush. She stretched her arms in front of Yan Beicheng and put a pipa leg in front of him.
Before she put it in the bowl, Yan Beicheng said proudly, "Feed it to me."
Lin Chu was speechless.
She finally realized that Yan Beicheng had a problem. He was easily arrogant. He would act arrogantly when he was too proud.
For example, on a Saturday night, the two of them had not registered their marriage, and she had called him her husband. In the end, he had made fun of her.
However, she also knew that he would only do this to people close to him. If it was an outsider, he would still maintain a dignified appearance.
Lin Chu quietly kicked his shoes under the table and whispered, "Eat it yourself!"
Even if the two elders didn't mind, they couldn't go overboard in front of the elders.
Yan Beicheng didn't have much hope in the first place. He just said that there was a chance.
Now that Lin Chuchu refused to feed him, he wasn't disappointed. He picked it up and took a bite. Then he waved at Mo Jinxi, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "When we adopt you, you have to call Chuchu 'Mom'."
"Eldest nephew!" Yan Ningbai also took a bite of the pipa leg and said, "Don't worry, Jinxi doesn't want to marry Chuchu anymore."
Yan Beicheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, kid, I couldn't tell that you're so playful at such a young age. You've already fallen in love with someone else? Tell Uncle, who do you fancy this time? I'll give you some advice and see if she's as good looking as Lin Chu. "
Just when Mo Jinxi was about to answer, Yan Ningbai beat him to it and said, "It's your unborn daughter! I told Jinxi that he can marry Chuchu when he grows up. Chuchu is already old! He might as well wait for Chuchu's daughter, my grandniece! My grandniece looks like Chuchu, so it's the same! "
Yan Beicheng, "…"
Lin Chu, "…"
Mo Jinxi's delicate and pretty face was red. He looked at Yan Beicheng shyly and said, "I … When I grow up, I can still call you Mom and Dad."
Yan Beicheng, "…"
Lin Chu, "…"
His daughter hadn't even been born yet, and she was already being targeted by a wolf cub.
What was even more hateful was that the wolf cub had been targeting his wife before, and now he was targeting his daughter. It seemed like he was going against his family!
Yan Beicheng rolled up his sleeves and planned to teach Mo Jinxi a lesson so that he wouldn't have such big dreams.
However, Mo Jinxi blinked his big clear eyes and looked at Old Madam Yan cutely. "Grandma."
"Hey, good boy!" Old Madam Yan was very happy. When she saw that Yan Beicheng was really anxious, she quickly patted him.
"Child's words carry no harm, child's words carry no harm. Why are you yelling at a child?" Old Madam Yan rolled her eyes at him. "Besides, your child hasn't been born yet!"
"…" Yan Beicheng looked at Mo Jinxi coldly. He silently decided that he would keep a close eye on this child in the future. He would never let him have any ideas about his daughter.
Then, he looked at Yan Ningbai. This brat was the main culprit. Without his instigation, Mo Jinxi wouldn't have thought that his daughter would do something like this.
He couldn't lose his temper in front of Old Madam Yan.
After leaving the old house and getting into the car, Yan Beicheng said faintly, "I'm a little sick of eating fish and meat these two days. My stomach isn't feeling well."
When Lin Chu heard that, he immediately became nervous. He turned and said, "Your stomach isn't feeling well now?"
Yan Beicheng nodded. "Yeah, I feel nauseous."
"Then don't drive. I'll drive," Lin Chu said as he unbuckled his seatbelt.
In order to act better, Yan Beicheng switched seats with Lin Chu.
"Why don't I make lighter dishes for the next few days for you to nourish your stomach?" Lin Chu said, "It must be because you were busy last week and your stomach was damaged again. It hasn't been long since you've recovered."
Lin Chu did not suspect anything. He had already found the reason for Yan Beicheng's stomach.
He had been busy with work and hadn't been able to eat well. His stomach had been tormented and he hadn't been able to recover. In the end, he had eaten a lot of fish and meat during the weekend. Even tonight, it was all greasy and fiery dishes.
"It's all my fault. I knew that you were so busy last week, but I didn't pay attention to your stomach. I was too careless," Lin Chu said self-reproachfully.
"It's okay. It's not that bad," Yan Beicheng said, but the expression on his face was completely different.
He covered his stomach with one hand and his mouth with the other. Suddenly, he trembled as if something was about to surge up. In the end, he held it back. Then, he weakly leaned against the back of the chair and tilted his head to look at Lin Chu.
Lin Chu touched his face. It really seemed a little cold. "Let's go to the hospital."
"No need. We'll just eat something light," Yan Beicheng said. "Bring the kids home early. They have to wake up early for school tomorrow."
Yan Beicheng did not feel any pressure at all. He pretended to be weak in front of the two kids in the backseat. Lin Chu couldn't beat him, so she could only drive home.
Afraid that he would feel too uncomfortable, she drove slowly and steadily.
Lin Chu focused on driving. Yan Beicheng proudly looked at Yan Ningbai from the rearview mirror, who was eating chocolate flavored Pocky.
Haha, brat, you dare to plot against my daughter. You'll be a vegetarian for the rest of the week!
Do you think I'm a vegetarian?!
Yan Ningbai still did not know that in the next six days, other than the unified lunch at school, he would not be able to eat any meat.
At noon, Lin Chu, Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong made an appointment to go to Sheng Yue for lunch.
Yan Beicheng personally drove to pick them up. This time, Lin Chu didn't let Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong take another taxi.
As for Xu Moyan, Yan Beicheng directly asked Shao Huai to drive to pick her up and meet at Sheng Yue.
Zheng Yuntong and Lin Chu sat in Yan Beicheng's car.
To Zheng Yuntong, the only time she met Yan Beicheng properly was during the company's annual party. She went with Lin Chu to Yan Beicheng's mansion on the island.
But it was only that time. She was invisible and did not dare to talk to Yan Beicheng. Shen Zongyi also had a personality that kept people away. She went to chat with Zuo Qiu and became quite close with him. She really did not talk to Yan Beicheng.
So this time, when Zheng Yuntong sat in the backseat with Lin Chu, there was no need to mention how restrained she was.
Even if Yan Beicheng couldn't see her, she still sat with her legs close together. Her palms were so nervous that they were sweating. She didn't even dare to speak.
Lin Chu seemed to hear the sound of Zheng Yuntong swallowing her saliva.
Lin Chu could not bear to see Zheng Yuntong so nervous, so he tried to find something to talk about. "I wonder if Moyan has arrived."
Zheng Yuntong: "Yes." She swallowed her saliva.
Lin Chu: "…"
Lin Chu: "Do you two have any plans tonight?"
Zheng Yuntong: "Eat … eat." She swallowed her saliva.
Lin Chu: "…"
Seeing Zheng Yuntong so nervous, Lin Chu suddenly had a mischievous thought. "You don't have plans with Assistant Shen?"
Zheng Yuntong: "No, he has been busy recently —"
Suddenly, Zheng Yuntong's voice stopped and she turned her head stiffly to look at Lin Chu.
Once she was nervous, she unknowingly fell into Lin Chu's trap!
As expected, Lin Chu said with a smile, "You have become quite familiar with Assistant Shen."
Zheng Yuntong: "No … not very familiar!"
Occasionally, after work, they would bump into each other by chance.
Sometimes, when they worked overtime, they would find that Shen Zongyi was actually at the company. They would even take his car home.
With Lin Chu's interference, Zheng Yuntong's nervousness faded a little.
When they reached Sheng Yue, Yan Beicheng parked the car and the three of them got off together. Xu Moyan was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing Xu Moyan, Yan Beicheng lightly greeted her. Lin Chu said, "Why don't you go to the room and wait? It's so sunny now. You can stand at the door."
"Hey, can't I wait anxiously?" Although Xu Moyan was a little afraid of Yan Beicheng, she was much better than Zheng Yuntong. At least in front of Yan Beicheng, she could still interact naturally.
She pulled Lin Chu over. "I saw Cheng Ziming just now."
Yan Beicheng's face darkened when he heard that. Lin Chu had broken up with Cheng Ziming 800 years ago. Why was he mentioning Cheng Ziming now?
Xu Moyan felt Yan Beicheng's strong and cold aura and laughed dryly. "Young Master Yan, don't be angry. Cheng Ziming, that scum, isn't even worthy of being your love rival. I was just gossiping with Lin Chu."
Yan Beicheng raised his eyebrows. Hearing Xu Moyan's words, his clear and cold eyes were filled with pride that he tried his best to hide but failed to. He looked to both sides with a serious expression and said, "Even if it's the truth, it would be quite embarrassing if people heard it."
Xu Moyan: "…"
