Lin Chu wanted to tell him to drop her off somewhere in front and she would go home on her own. It was more important for him to bring the kid to dinner.
However, the refined voice of Yan Beicheng was faintly heard. "Ningbai"s hungry."
Lin Chu did not know how to respond to that, "…"
What were you going to say, Master Yan?
"If I bring him to dinner after sending you home, he would be starving to death by that time," Yan Beicheng said.
"…" Lin Chu finally suggested what was on her mind in a hesitant tone. "How about I get off in front?"
Yan Beicheng lifted his eyebrows. "Abandoning you halfway after I promised to send you home? What did you take me for?" Lin Chu felt that he was actually offended by her words, and suddenly she did not know what to say.
"You probably haven"t eaten anything tonight too. Come with us," Yan Beicheng said indistinctly.
"…" Lin Chu realized that she actually did not know him that well. "I don"t think it"s right to trouble you so much."
He glanced at her from the corner of his jet-black eyes. "So it"s not troublesome for me to send you home, make a huge turn and then only bring him to dinner? Do you feel that it"s right to starve Ningbai? He"s only six years old and he needs extra care."
Lin Chu said, "There"s a subway station in front. Why don"t you just drop me there? There"s actually a station near my house."
Yan Beicheng replied, "Abandoning you halfway after I promised to send you home? What did you take me for?"
"…"
Are you a repeater? Can we still converse?!
They were stuck in traffic, constantly stopping and moving slowly on the road. Yan Beicheng was silent, but Yan Ningbai continually bawled that he was hungry.
Lin Chu had no choice but to finally agree. "Then…Master Yan, I"ll join the both of you for dinner if that"s all right."
Yan Beicheng nodded reluctantly.
"…"
Right at this moment, she heard the sound of a phone ringing behind, and then the voice of Yan Ningbai saying, "Dad…"
"Yes. Everything"s going fine with Big Nephew. He"s extremely caring today. He even texted to ask me if I was hungry, and if I was I should say it out loud and he would bring me to a j.a.panese restaurant. I"m delighted!" Yan Ningbai had a childish voice, but he pretended to sound like an adult by dragging his words and sighing at the end of a sentence.
Yan Beicheng was speechless, "…"
So was Lin Chu, "…"
She suddenly remembered him sending a text message when he stopped at the red light just now. She felt that he was up to something.
A small but fat hand suddenly appeared in between them and it disrupted her thoughts. Yan Ningbai was holding a smartphone with his chubby fingers, then he said, "Big Nephew, your granduncle wants to talk to you."
Yan Beicheng wanted to throw his clueless ally out of the car really badly. He grabbed the phone coldly and placed it on his ears.
He hurriedly said, "I can"t talk while I"m driving." Then he immediately hung up and tossed the phone back to Yan Ningbai.
Lin Chu heard Yan Ningbai calling Yan Beicheng big nephew, but Yan Beicheng put on his emotionless front and seemed to be unfazed by it. However, she could feel that deep down, he actually felt wronged.
