As soon as Lu Sinian saw Lu Beichen holding Ji Niandong, his expression changed dramatically. He pursed his lips in anger but obediently sat on the sofa without moving.
Lu Qingyuan chuckled, "What’s up with my eldest grandson today, being so well-behaved?"
"Grandpa, I’ve always been well-behaved, okay?" Lu Sinian retorted with dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright! Come on, let’s go eat with Grandpa!" Lu Qingyuan led his grandson, in great spirits.
The family finally sat down at the table to eat. Ji Niandong, behaving properly, raised her teacup and said, "Dad, Aunt Hui, I came into the Lu Family without your permission, which was rather abrupt. I offer you a toast with tea in place of wine!"
Lu Qingyuan hurriedly waved his hand, raised his wine glass with a satisfied smile, "It was Beichen who didn’t handle things well, how could it be your fault? In fact, we should be the ones toasting you!" He glanced at Lu Sinian, "From now on, we’ll leave Nian Nian to you. He’s a special blood type, just like you, right? You both need to be extra careful! And Beichen, you’ll need to take good care of them!"
"You’re too kind!" Ji Niandong quickly supported her cup and gently tapped it against Lu Qingyuan’s glass to show her respect.
However, she wasn’t quite sure what her blood type was! She’d never had it tested!
They were all so pleasant and polite, Ji Niandong felt her nervousness vanish completely, "I was so nervous when I came; Little... He said Dad and Aunt Hui are easy to get along with, and it’s true!"
The girl wore a gentle smile, a little timid yet incredibly warm. Lu Qingyuan was very pleased, and said, "You and your father have relied on each other for so many years, and now that he’s not well and in the hospital, if you ever encounter any issues, feel free to talk to me or your Aunt Hui. From now on, we’re your parents, and we won’t let you suffer!"
Zhang Huiqin nodded, "Now, I truly have both a son and a daughter!"
"Indeed!" Lu Qingyuan laughed joyfully, clasping Zhang Huiqin’s hand, feeling the joy of gaining a daughter late in life.
The family enjoyed a meal full of conversation and laughter. Ji Niandong genuinely felt extremely lucky and happy!
She turned her head to glance at Lu Beichen, feeling as if flowers had blossomed in her heart!
Lu Sinian, unable to contain himself any longer, huffed, "Grandpa, Sister Tongtong used to be my goddess, and Mr. Lu knew that, yet he still cut in and took her!"
"Hey!" Lu Qingyuan shook his head, "You should call her Mom, why call her Sister Tongtong?"
"I don’t want to! I liked Sister Tongtong first, and besides, at home, Sister Tongtong calls Mr. Lu Little Uncle, so I’m supposed to call her Sister!" Lu Sinian kept stirring the food in his bowl with a spoon but didn’t eat a single bite.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly went quiet!
Ji Niandong was slightly embarrassed and paused her hand, not knowing what to say, while Lu Beichen responded casually, "I’m eleven years older than Tongtong, it’s just a playful thing between a married couple!"
He spoke so seriously, Lu Qingyuan responded with an awkward laugh!
Lu Beichen suddenly turned his head and said, "Call me that one more time!"
"Huh?" Ji Niandong looked at him, wishing she could find a hole to hide in; how could both father and son be so childish, "Little Uncle, hurry up and eat!"
She pretended to be calm and played along, and only then did Zhang Huiqin say, "It’s a good thing that they are so loving as a couple! Nian Nian, you should hurry and eat as well!"
"Hmph!" Lu Sinian felt even more sulky seeing the lovey-dovey exchange between them.
"Our Nian Nian really likes his Tongtong mom!" Lu Qingyuan said with genuine comfort.
Lu Sinian emphasized, "Grandpa, I told you, she’s Sister Tongtong!"
"Alright, alright! As long as my grandson is happy, anything goes!" Lu Qingyuan was genuinely happy today.
"Grandpa, are you serious? Then when Mr. Lu and Sister Tongtong get divorced, can you marry Sister Tongtong to me?"
