Chapter 856 - Babe

Later, Long Jinjing and Lu Zihao sat together on the couch while Sun Jingfei sat on the single armchair to the side in the living room.

Sun Jingfei had already calmed down when the couple came out of the bedroom thankfully wearing proper clothes. She observed her squirming, red-faced daughter with her relaxed yet intimidating boyfriend.

They didn't look proportional sitting together like that because Lu Zihao was so huge while her daughter was so petite. It was like seeing a huge, battle-scarred tiger with a tiny, innocent puppy. Worry filled her. Would her daughter be alright with a scary-looking man like him?

She cleared her throat and made a show of glancing at the wall clock. "It's getting late and Jing'er still has get ready for work today. How about we eat breakfast and maybet-talk during the meal?"

"Good idea, Madam," Lu Zihao replied while flashing a charmingly roguish smile. Then he stood up and pulled Long Jinjing to stand up as well before sweeping an arm at Sun Jingfei. "After you, Madam."

Sun Jingfei's expression lightened. She even giggled. There was also a suspicious pink tinge on her cheeks. "What a gentleman you are, Lu Zihao. Fine, this old woman will go first."

"Madam is still young. And please call meZihao. There's no need to be so formal since I'm your daughter Jinjing's boyfriend."

"Oh, alright. And you can call me Auntie Jingfei as well. Like you said, there's no need to be so formal. Come on, you two. I brought a lot of food today."

Long Jinjing stared at the two of them with a dazed expression. Who was this charming man? What did he do to her domineering boyfriend? How deceptive!

And what was wrong with her mother? She had been too shocked to even speak just a few minutes ago and yet now she was giggling like a teenage girl in front of her daughter's boyfriend. Ah, was her mother always this weak against masculine charm? Was this how her father hooked her mother? Oh no! Too embarrassing!

Wait, did she inherit her mother's weakness? Was this the reason why she gave in too easily to Lu Zihao as well? Oh gosh! Invisible tears flowed down Long Jinjing's eyes as she cried for both her mother and herself.

"Jing'er, help me set the table," Sun Jingfei called.

Long Jinjing didn't respond.

Lu Zihao stepped forward. "Let me do it, Auntie."

"Oh, what a good child!" Sun Jingfei looked very pleased at his good manners. Then she sighed at her dazed daughter and shook her head. "I hope you don't mind my daughter when she acts like this. She can be a littledelicate, you see. She tends to be overwhelmed if she encounters something too embarrassing. Please be understanding of her. She's a good child."

His roguish smile became wider and the charm level he was oozing intensified. "I know that Jinjing is a special woman and will treat her as such. I'll take care of her so please don't worry, Auntie. Your daughter is safe with me."

Sun Jingfei's pleased smile also became wider. Then she instructed Lu Zihao how to properly set the table while she opened all the dishes that she brought with her. The delicious aroma of food wafted throughout the kitchen and awakened Long Jinjing from her daze.

Lu Zihao pulled out a chair. "Please sit, Auntie."

Sun Jingfei giggled before sitting down. "Your parents taught you excellent manners."

"It was actually my grandfather who beat good manners into me while I was a little boy. My parents were both free-spirited people and they were often gone travell
