When Xuxu addressed him as ‘ hubby’ in her sweet voice, his heart had melted into a puddle.

He received the babies from her and said, “Eat more.”

Everyone else already went downstairs, and only Bai Jing trailed slowly behind, dragging her feet along.

When she saw Xuxu and Yan Rusheng behaving so intimately, she hung her head low.

She lifted her head after she reached the landing. She peered at the luxurious and spacious living room, which exuded an elegant and sophisticated charm.

She clenched the staircase railing tightly, with a look of envy and yearning on her face.

“Bai Jing, remember to come over often.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yan Weihong rarely offered people food. But he placed a chicken wing in Bai Jing’s bowl and even spoke warmly to her.

Mu Li and he were grateful to Bai Jing’s father who had saved Yan Rusheng’s life. They really wanted to repay her for the kindness and gratitude.

“Thank you.” Bai Jing held the bowl in her hands as she bowed her head at Yan Weihong in gratefulness.

Her waist-length hair tumbled loosely across her shoulders, and when she bowed, her hair fell forward, covering her face.

She tucked her hair behind her ears as she stole a furtive glance at Yan Rusheng.

Yan Rusheng was quietly savoring his meal. Other than occasionally talking to Wen Xuxu, his eyes had never wandered elsewhere.

It wasn’t an ideal place to discuss work matters with them around. Mu Li was upstairs with the children, so it was relatively quiet at the table.

Su Yue was the first to finish her meal and she placed her chopsticks down.

Everyone assumed that she wanted to leave after standing up. However, she inched to Bai Jing’s ear and whispered.

“I’ll wait for you outside. I have something to ask you.”

Su Yue flashed a mysterious smile at Bai Jing before she walked away.

Bai Jing stared at her, looking dumbfounded. After a while, Bai Jing rose and bowed at the rest of them before leaving the table.

“This lass even had a secret? Why is she so secretive?” Yan Weihong glanced at Su Yue and Bai Jing, and he chuckled.

After they left, he retracted his gaze and turned to Su Yan, who sat across him. He swiftly rearranged his expression.

“How is the progress?” asked Yan Weihong in a grave voice.

With confidence laced in his voice, Su Yan said, “Everything is within my control.”

Yan Weihong was a little worried. “Did Jiang Shaomei detect anything amiss?”

Su Yan airily quipped, “Second Uncle Yan, don’t worry.”

Yan Weihong grunted and heaved a heavy sigh He surveyed Su Yan closely and gazed at him with a look of admiration. “Your progress is faster than your third brother.”

He swiftly glanced at Yan Rusheng with a look of disapproval.

It was rare that Yan Rusheng didn’t make any retorts.

He was eating slowly as he picked up food with his chopsticks.

Yan Weihong was talking about work stuff so Xuxu remained silent.

Yan Weihong thought of something, so he spun around towards Su Yan. “Su Yan, I want to remind you to keep your distance from that Xin Yanting.”

Su Yan nodded. “I will take note.”

“I’m full,” Yan Rusheng proclaimed as he placed his chopsticks on the table. He rose and turned toward the dining room.

Su Yue was talking to Bai Jing on the couch.

Yan Rusheng strode towards them and quietly peered at them.

“Yueyue, go get me a cup of water.”

Su Yue nodded and stood up to go back to the kitchen.

Bai Jing certainly knew that Yan Rusheng was trying to get Su Yue away and that he had something to say to her.
