As soon as they sat down, someone came from outside.

“Minan is here. Please come in.” Jiang Lin was a little excited when she heard that it was Lu Minan. “Aiya, this child has been in Xiling City for a while, but I haven’t seen him.”

Qiao Qiao frowned. Why was this guy here?

Lu Minan walked in quickly. He was much more familiar with the Qiao family. “Uncle Qiao, Auntie Lin.”

“Kid, when did you come back?” Qiao Feng smiled and waved. “Hurry up and sit down. You probably didn’t eat breakfast. Let’s eat together.”

Nangong Jue sighed slightly. This was detection, but it didn’t matter. In the past, he might not have cared what others thought of him, but now, he had to care because he didn’t want people to look down on Lan.

Lu Minan glanced at Nangong Jue, then pulled a chair and sat beside Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes speechlessly.

“Let’s eat.” Qiao Feng picked up his chopsticks.

Le Yao made a lot of breakfast, but in the end, it was all gone.

Because of Nangong Jue’s participation, everyone acted like they were in a fit of pique. They fought and fought until they were stuffed.

“Lan, I didn’t expect your culinary skills to be so good.” Jiang Lin touched her stomach and sighed. “You’re even better than my chef.”

“Auntie, that’s because this is a different taste. You can’t eat this every day.” Le Yao was humble.

“No way.” Qiao Qiao shook her head. “I’ve eaten your cooking every day and I’m not tired of it.”

“You have to come often in the future.” Jiang Lin smiled. “Come over during the holidays, okay?”

Le Yao:

‘Auntie, aren’t you being too obvious about your intentions?’ But she nodded anyway.

Because Nangong Jue was beside her and Lu Minan was also there, she couldn’t stay any longer. She stood up and bade farewell.

Nangong Jue also bade farewell.

Qiao Qiao gestured to call her.

After leaving the Qiao family’s manor, Le Yao glanced at Nangong Jue. “What

are you doing here?”

“I’m here to bring you back.” Nangong Jue reached out and rubbed Le Yao’s head. “It’s not good to always stay at someone else’s house.”

“Why not? That’s not just anyone’s home. That’s Qiao Qiao’s home. It’s equivalent to my home.” Le Yao pulled the other party’s hand away. “On the other hand, your house has nothing to do with me. After all, we’re divorced, understand? That means we’ll go our separate ways.”

Nangong Jue’s expression immediately turned ugly.

“I think I should stay in a hotel. After all, I’m attending your family’s banquet as your female companion this time. Now that the banquet is over, our cooperation is over, so…”

Le Yao talked for a long time, but there was no response from Nangong Jue. She couldn’t help but turn around and look. She saw that the man had his head slightly lowered and his expression was a little dark. However, for some reason, she felt his sadness.

She suddenly felt a little sorry.

“Nangong Jue?” Le Yao reached out and poked his arm. “You… what’s wrong?”

Nangong Jue turned his head slightly to look at her. “Lan, do you think I’m unbearable too? Do you… look down on me?”

“Huh? When did I say that?”

“You’ve been drawing a line between us.” Nangong Jue’s eyes were actually a little red. “I know I used to be indifferent to you, but at that time, I was afraid of women because…” As he spoke, he closed his eyes. “The past was a little unbearable. Actually, Fu Yunshen had always been worried that I would become misogynistic, but fortunately, I didn’t..”
