A bowl of white rice was sent in front of Little Yu Chen. Soon after, two pairs of chopsticks, each holding a piece of glutinous rice pork chop, were placed in the little guy"s bowl. Since their actions were at the same time, when they naturally finished doing this, an indescribable awkwardness appeared on their faces.
"Ugh!" Little Yu Chen stared at the two ribs in the bowl with his black eyes and let out a confused voice.
Xia Xinyan"s heart skipped a beat as her beautiful eyes quickly flashed across the faces of the two men.
Ji Mu Cheng smirked as he placed his piece into Xia Xin Nian"s bowl. "Mind your own business. Eat more."
This inexplicable sense of intimacy made Xia Xinyan clench her teeth. What is Ji Mu City doing?
Yesterday, he had been opposing her, but now, was he going to be a good husband?
Yan Junhan reached out his hand to stroke little Yu Chen"s head, whispering, "Yu Chen, is it your mother who makes the compensation?"
The little guy"s small hands didn"t really know how to pick up chopsticks. After picking up the pork chop a few times, he took a bite and frowned, "It doesn"t taste like what Mommy cooks. The pork chops are so delicious. Mommy doesn"t cook that good."
Xia Xinyan was waiting for her son to praise her. She didn"t expect the little fellow to be so honest, causing her to be stifled for a moment.
At the side, Ji Mu Cheng laughed impolitely when he saw the woman eating. This mother and son pair was truly interesting sometimes.
How could he be willing to let go of such two interesting people to another man?
Yan Junhan pursed his lips and smiled as well. He raised his eyes to look at the depressed Xia Xinxin, "Actually, the food you make isn"t that bad. I just felt that it was very delicious."
Xia Xinyan could only laugh dryly, "Big Brother Yan is praising me too much. Actually, I only know how to cook a few small dishes. How can I compare to the chefs here?"
"Some people like to eat delicacies, and some people especially like to eat green radish. Their tastes are different, so naturally, there is no comparison." There were hints in Yan Junhan"s words.
Ji Mucheng was extremely shrewd, he naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Yan Junhan"s words. From the looks of it, he didn"t want to let go of her.
Xia Xinyan chuckled, "Your words seem to make a lot of sense. Indeed, everyone is different, and their desires are different as well. It"s better not to think too much about it."
Ji Mu Cheng narrowed his eyes. The two of them were singing the same tune. Could it be that they were talking about him?
"If only I had another chance to eat the food you made." Yan Junhan sighed, his eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Before Xia Xinyan could say anything, Ji Mucheng smiled and said, "How hard is it to eat food that you wish to cook? Come to my house tomorrow afternoon and let us do what is appropriate for the landlord. "
Xia Xinyan"s breathing stagnated. She didn"t know why, but after hearing this man address her so intimately, she actually didn"t feel disgusted at all. What had happened to her?
"That"s right, Uncle Yan. Can you come to our house as a guest?" Hearing that, little Yu Chen"s eyes lit up, and he asked in antic.i.p.ation.
With the arrival of winter, snow was falling from Yan Junhan"s heart.
He didn"t mean that, he just hoped that Xia Xinxin would understand the meaning behind his desire to be with her.
Xia Xinyan wasn"t stupid. She had always taken Yan Junhan"s feelings for her seriously. It was just that back then, she felt that she wasn"t worthy of him. Now, she didn"t dare to accept his feelings for her, fearing that she would fail.
He should be worthy of a better woman to love him, and he would certainly have a happy family in the future.
"Big Brother Yan, if you"re free, come eat lunch at home tomorrow. I"ll make it myself." Xia Xinyan gently invited.
Ji Mu Cheng narrowed his eyes. Although he was the one who just proposed to invite the guest to his house, for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable inside.
Was this woman really going to cook for him?
He hadn"t even cooked a meal for him yet. Was this a difference in treatment?
"I haven"t eaten a meal made by Mommy in a long time. Uncle Yan, just come over." Little Yu Chen did not realize that the relations.h.i.+p between adults was complicated. He only felt that Uncle Yan was like a relative to him. If there was something good, of course he would take part.
Yan Junhan lowered his head and smiled, feeling a little bitter in his heart. What he wanted was not to be a guest.
"I have to work tomorrow, so I might not have the time. How about, next time, when I"m done with my new home, you guys come and be my guests." Actually, he had prepared that house for Xia Xinyan. He had already fixed it up long ago, and when Xia Xinyan wanted him to return home, he wanted to give the key to her, but Xia Xinyan had refused.
"Alright, when the time comes, can I come with you?" Ji Mu Cheng immediately agreed. At this moment, he was secretly arguing with Yan Junhan.
Yan Jun Han replied indifferently: "I"m afraid that a person with such a status in the Mr. Ji will lose your ident.i.ty due to your humble abode."
"Mister Yan really knows how to joke around. We are close friends, and I appreciate your sincerity. If you are sincerely inviting me, I will definitely come." Ji Mu Cheng smiled faintly.
Xia Xinyan already understood the meaning of their confrontation, so she hurriedly interjected, "Alright, stop chatting and eat. The food is getting cold."
Only then did the two men accept their cigarettes and eat di
er in peace.
This meal gave Xia Xinyan a lot of pressure. If she knew earlier, she wouldn"t have let Ji Mu City come here.
After di
er, Yan Junhan made his move first. His footsteps were stiff, and his heart felt heavy.
He didn"t expect that after returning home only two months later, there would already be someone else by Xia Xinxin"s side.
He suddenly regretted not confessing when he was overseas. If he was preconceived, even if Ji Mucheng found out that the child was his, he wouldn"t have been able to break them up by force.
Unfortunately, in this world, there was no medicine for regret, and there were no ifs.
Anger could be seen in Ji Mucheng"s eyes as she stared at Xia Xinxin"s back. It seemed like she was really reluctant to part with Yan Junhan.
"Daddy, have you and Uncle Yan become friends?" Little Yu Chen asked happily.
Ji Mucheng gently carried his son, letting him sit on his broad shoulders. Smiling, he nodded, "Of course. The friends between you and Mommy are my friends."
"Yea, that"s great. In the future, the four of us will be able to go out often to play." The little guy immediately cheered.
Ji Mu Cheng"s body shuddered. Is my son really that hopeful?
Xia Xinyan"s expression stiffened as she turned to look at the man. Ji Mu Cheng was staring at her.
Xia Xinyan quickly turned around and asked, "Are we going home too?"
"I"ve just finished eating my fill, so I"m not going back yet. Let"s take a walk on the nearby pedestrian street." Ji Mu Cheng said in a low voice.
"I"m a little tired ??"
"Children like to be lively. They want their parents" company more." The man saw through her.
Xia Xinxin glanced at her son, his eyes s.h.i.+ning with antic.i.p.ation.
"Alright then." Xia Xinyan compromised.
