An Jing and Xiao Changyi were already very accustomed to Gong Juechen’s freeloading meals, acting as if Gong Juechen was non-existent, and continuing to eat while feeding the children egg and rice porridge.
Gong Juechen was not content with just eating for free; he kept talking incessantly, "Changyi, you really didn’t give me any face today. Se Se is my sister after all, and we are so familiar with each other, how could you think about killing my sister?"
Xiao Changyi ignored him as if he hadn’t heard a thing.
An Jing also acted as if she hadn’t heard.
Nevertheless, Gong Juechen continued, "If you fail to kill my sister and instead she kills you, wouldn’t Jingjing end up a widow?"
"If Jade Jade hadn’t appeared, and Jingjing became a widow, I wouldn’t mind joining her family, but now that Jade Jade has shown up, and she is so beautiful, I am very devoted. I have taken Jade Jade as my wife, so she will be the only one in my heart. If, Jingjing, you really end up a widow, I can only apologize to you."
Hearing this, An Jing was quite speechless. What did he mean by apologizing to her? It was as if she liked him!
Xiao Changyi, however, was much more direct, lifting his foot and giving a kick to the stool underneath Gong Juechen’s butt. The stool was immediately kicked away, and Gong Juechen ended up seated on the ground.
As Gong Juechen was eating with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand, when he abruptly sat down in such a clumsy manner, the bowl perfectly landed on his face, covering it with food and rice grains.
The four children cheered, clapping their small hands on the table.
Gong Juechen, with his face covered in food, wasn’t angry, nor did he care about the children laughing at him. He picked himself up from the ground, took out a handkerchief to wipe his face clean, and kept smirking as he said, "Changyi, you’re too aggressive. With that personality, no one’s going to like you."
Finally, An Jing spoke up: "I like him."
Xiao Changyi’s cool lips curved up almost imperceptibly.
Gong Juechen simply stayed silent for a moment, then smirked again, "Jingjing, I admire your lack of shyness; Wu Wu and Baby can’t compare with you at all. You must have noticed, right? Every time before I even say anything, the two of them turn red-faced, making me wonder if I’ve done something improper to them."
"They are so shy. On the day they get married, I must give them something nice to help them get over their shyness."
An Jing: "..." It’s better to pretend she didn’t understand...
"If it still doesn’t cure their shyness, then there’s nothing I can do...huh? How did we end up talking about them? Weren’t we discussing the matter of Changyi wanting to kill my sister?" Gong Juechen pretended to suddenly realize, looking at An Jing.
An Jing: ...You’re pretending! Just keep pretending! I’ll just quietly watch you pretend!
Then, Gong Juechen turned to look at Xiao Changyi, didn’t speak right away, but pulled back the stool that Xiao Changyi had kicked away. After he sat down again, he smiled and said, "I’ve treated Lanlan’s injury. Your sword strike was ruthless, passing through the shoulder. Lanlan will need at least half a year before her left hand can be as flexible as before."
Xiao Changyi still said nothing. Seeing the children willing to eat, he set down his own bowl and continued to feed the children egg and rice porridge.
