When she saw how the atmosphere in the room was relatively calm, s.h.i.+ Guang let out a sigh of relief. She was worried that Qian Xun might have been scolded to tears by Lu Yanzhi by then.

“Sorry! We’re late!” s.h.i.+ Guang tugged at Lu Yanchen as they sat down on the empty seats before calling for extra bowls and chopsticks from the attendants.

After the attendants had left, the atmosphere within the room was tense once more.

“Erm, Yanzhi, I was called by the provincial team for a meeting in the afternoon. We just happened to be at Qian Xun’s place, and thus I had her help me look after Xiao Bai for a while.” s.h.i.+ Guang explained softly.

Lu Yanzhi’s expression was cold as he merely glanced at her once without speaking. s.h.i.+ Guang then looked at Qian Xun. “Thank you so much for taking care of Xiao Bai for the afternoon!”

Qian Xun glared at her coldly without speaking either.

s.h.i.+ Guang: “…”

She glanced at Lu Yanchen with a side eye and begged for help with her gaze. Even though he received her distress call, he sat there without moving, just like a solid ice sculpture.

He took the food that he had just cooked in the hotpot and placed it in s.h.i.+ Guang’s bowl. “Didn’t you say that you were hungry? Hurry and eat!”

After s.h.i.+ Guang ate it, she took the initiative to get food for Qian Xun. “Qian Xun, you eat too.”

Qian Xun’s gaze at her was way beyond the freezing point. How was she in the mood to eat!

She replied frostily, “It’s fine, I already ate. I just remembered that I have something on, so I’ll leave first.”

THWACK!

The moment Qian Xun spoke finish, Lu Yanzhi slammed his chopsticks onto the table.

s.h.i.+ Guang froze up and looked at Lu Yanchen—he was unmoved in the slightest bit and was still eating.

She tugged at his sleeves with her fingers. Lu Yanchen turned to look at her, his lips curling slightly. Through his eyes, s.h.i.+ Guang could make out amus.e.m.e.nt at her misfortune!

s.h.i.+ Guang was stunned.

What sort of a situation was this! She was almost scared to death by Lu Yanzhi, and he was still in the mood to laugh at her?

She then looked at Qian Xun—even though she seemed rather calm, s.h.i.+ Guang could tell that the other was putting on a strong front.

s.h.i.+ Guang then chuckled at Qian Xun. “Erm, do you want to stay for a little while longer?”

“I’m feeling a little uncomfortable, so I’ll head back first.” With that, Qian Xun even faked a few coughs.

She wanted to act as though she was unwell to leave first. Naturally, s.h.i.+ Guang knew of her intentions. Since the atmosphere was somewhat tense, it was best for her to leave first as well.

Before s.h.i.+ Guang could agree to it, Lu Yanzhi had suddenly decided to speak up slowly, “Why? You’re really sick, huh? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

s.h.i.+ Guang: “…”

Those words… didn’t sound quite right? Lu Yanzhi was showing concern for Qian Xun and wanted to take her to the hospital?

Qian Xun rejected coldly. “No thanks!”

“Oh no, how would that do? Xiao Bai really LIKES you, and even said he wanted you to be his G.o.dmother. If we were to leave you unwell and unattended to, wouldn’t that make us seem too heartless…?” Lu Yanzhi replied with a knowing tone, even dragging out his last words.

Lu Yanchen looked at his brother, while s.h.i.+ Guang was stunned. As for Qian Xun, she was petrified.

When Xiao Bai mentioned making Qian Xun his G.o.dmother the other day, part of it was in spite. But, for his father to mention it before so many people, Xiao Bai flushed red with embarra.s.sment. “D-Daddy…”

Lu Yanzhi, on the other hand, was glaring coldly at Qian Xun. “I’m agreeing to it now. You can call her mummy from now on.”

Lu Yanchen’s lips smirked unnoticeably. “…”

s.h.i.+ Guang had lost her mind by now. “…”

What was going on here? In her mind, the plot should have gone the way of a cold, s.a.d.i.s.tic att.i.tude toward Qian Xun. Why was it one of sweet aloofness right now?
