However, all the private rooms in Yunhai Tower were fully booked.
Feng Yuanxi felt disappointed.
He wanted to introduce all the delicious food here to Beautiful Sister, but the main hall was too noisy. He couldn’t enjoy a quiet meal with Beautiful Sister.
Unable to bear seeing his despondent expression, Gu Qingluan said, “I’ve reserved a special room here. Let’s go there.”
There was a room in Yunhai Tower specifically reserved for her, usually left vacant.
Feng Yuanxi’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Beautiful Sister is amazing! You managed to reserve a private room in Yunhai Tower, even though they’re so hard to get.”
Gu Qingluan smiled.
Why did both Xiaonan and Xiao Yuanxi possess such honeyed tongues?
The four of them went upstairs together.
Feng Yuanxi said to Jing Feng, “Mr. Jing Feng, please wait outside and don’t let anyone disturb us.”
“Well…” Jing Feng hesitated.
Feng Yuanxi furrowed his small eyebrows. “What’s the problem?”
Jing Feng glanced at Gu Qingluan and hesitated to speak.
Feng Yuanxi’s voice turned cold. “What are you looking at Beautiful Sister for?”
His gaze was sharp.
Jing Feng quickly lowered his eyebrows and eyes. “I’ll wait outside, and if the Young Master has any orders, just let me know.”
Once Jing Feng left, the serious expression on Feng Yuanxi’s face disappeared. He ran to Gu Qingluan and said, “Beautiful Sister, I missed you so much! Do you miss me?”
“Of course I do. Little Yuanxi is so adorable,” Gu Qingluan replied, not lying.
Although she hadn’t met Yuanxi many times, she inexplicably felt a sense of closeness and fondness for him. Thoughts of him would occasionally cross her mind.
“Cough, cough!”
A meaningful cough interrupted their conversation.
Gu Qingluan turned her head and saw her son giving her a somewhat reproachful look.
She pinched his little face. “Xiaonan is adorable too.”
Gu Xiaonan puffed up her cheeks. “So, who’s cuter, me or Yuanxi?”
Uh…
Gu Qingluan looked at the two pairs of equally expectant eyes and twitched her lips.
That was a good question!
Looking at this one, then at the other, she replied slowly, “Equally adorable!”
The two children glanced at each other and reluctantly accepted it.
After all, they looked the same, to begin with.
Gu Qingluan breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, children were easy to please. It might not be so easy to satisfy adults.
The dishes were quickly served and filled the entire table.
Feng Yuanxi picked up a piece of sweet and sour spare ribs and put it in her bowl. “Beautiful Sister, this sweet and sour spare rib is delicious. Give it a try.”
Gu Xiaonan was about to pick some for herself but changed the direction of her chopsticks and put it in Gu Qingluan’s bowl. “Mother, this chicken is also delicious. You should try it.”
“Eat your own food. I’ll serve myself.” Gu Qingluan didn’t know how to react. Were these two children competing with each other?
“Beautiful Sister, please try it.” Feng Yuanxi blinked his eyes.
Gu Qingluan couldn’t resist his persuasion. She picked up the spare rib in her bowl and took a bite. Looking at Feng Yuanxi, whose eyes were fixed on her without blinking, she smiled and said, “It’s delicious, sweet and tangy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.”
Feng Yuanxi laughed, his eyes curved. “I knew you would like it, Beautiful Sister.”
“Mother, try the chicken!” Gu Xiaonan glanced at Feng Yuanxi, then urged Gu Qingluan.
Knowing that her son wouldn’t give up if she didn’t eat it, Gu Qingluan took a bite of the chicken as well.
After receiving her affirmation, Gu Xiaonan’s eyebrows danced with joy. “Mother, isn’t my chicken more delicious?”
“The spare ribs are delicious!”
“The chicken is the delicious one!”
Why were they arguing again?
Gu Qingluan rubbed her forehead.
Outside the room, Jing Feng, who was focused on guarding the private room, also heard the children’s argument but didn’t know how to react.
Did the young master also have such a childish side?
The meal was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Gu Xiaonan felt that he had made a mistake.
He shouldn’t have helped Feng Yuanxi.
This guy was clearly trying to s.n.a.t.c.h his mother away!
If his mother really accepted Feng Yuanxi as an adopted son, his mother wouldn’t solely belong to him anymore.
So, Gu Xiaonan refused to mention the adoption matter.
And Feng Yuanxi couldn’t find the right opportunity to bring it up after a meal and drinks.
He kept giving meaningful looks to Gu Xiaonan, but Gu Xiaonan pretended not to see them.
Feng Yuanxi realized that Gu Xiaonan was angry with him, regretting his behavior of competing with Gu Xiaonan for attention.
Gu Xiaonan was Beautiful Sister’s son, and that was an unchangeable fact.
How could he possibly compete with him?
“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingluan noticed his change in expression and asked proactively.
Feng Yuanxi looked at her and was about to speak when suddenly, a powerful aura enveloped the private room.
Feng Yuanxi’s face changed abruptly. “Father is here!”
Gu Qingluan froze at his words.
That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is here?
