Lu Beichen looked at his son, his expression complex, and in the end could only sigh helplessly.
Lu Qingyuan laughed heartily, "You’re still so young, and yet you already want to get married?!"
Zhang Huiqin also laughed and reached out to pat Lu Sinian’s head.
Not only did they not help him, but they also laughed at him. If it weren’t for politeness, Lu Sinian would have slammed his chopsticks down and left.
But, he couldn’t let Sister Tongtong think he wasn’t a good kid!
"I don’t want to get married, I just want to be with Sister Tongtong, but Mr. Lu is coming between us!" He glared at Lu Beichen indignantly.
Ji Niandong was originally worried the elders might think she was causing discord between them. But seeing them act like it’s just childish nonsense, she relaxed a bit and put Lu Sinian’s favorite food in his small bowl, speaking gently: "Sister Tongtong married your dad, isn’t that a way to always be with you?"
Sure, that’s the way things are, but he just didn’t like the idea of someone he liked being with the Great Demon!
But, Sister Tongtong had just given him some food!
Lu Sinian shot Lu Beichen a smug look and then began to eat the food she gave him heartily.
"Look at how blessed he seems eating this way! It’s rare to see Nian Nian enjoying his meal so much. All thanks to Tongtong!" Zhang Huiqin remarked.
"Indeed it is!" Lu Qingyuan feigned anger, "But, my dear grandson, you should eat more politely, with some gentlemanly manner. Otherwise, how will Sister Tongtong ever like you?"
That’s right! The Great Demon pretended to be all gentlemanly and elegant, and that’s how he tricked Sister Tongtong away!
Lu Sinian suddenly wiggled his little bottom, sitting upright on the chair, and immediately started eating with etiquette, slowly and deliberately.
Once the meal was finished, the family felt quite happy. After some casual talk, they prepared to leave.
Lu Beichen somehow found Lu Sinian’s big backpack and brought it out. "Nian Nian has been getting more and more unruly lately. We’re busy, so we can’t really watch him. Why don’t you look after him for us?!"
"Sure! I love my grandson the most!" Lu Qingyuan moved to hug Lu Sinian but was avoided by him.
Housekeeper Lu went to take his big backpack, and Lu Sinian quickly held onto it, not letting go, turning to Lu Beichen and saying, "Mr. Lu, I just knew you wanted to pawn me off on Grandpa and Grandma. Didn’t I sleep on my own last night? And today I haven’t bothered you and Sister Tongtong? I’ll listen to you, don’t leave me here!"
Left here, how long would it be before he could see Sister Tongtong again, especially since Grandpa and Grandma were so dull, only playing chess and admiring flowers!
He had behaved inexplicably well yesterday. Lu Beichen realized his son must be hiding something inside, but didn’t expect him to figure out he meant to send him away!
If not for his constant cleverness, Lu Beichen sometimes really doubts if he is his own son, always opposing him!
Kids are just too sensitive, too fragile!
Ji Niandong tugged on Lu Beichen’s arm, pleading slightly: "Let Nian Nian come back with us, please?"
She knew a child without a mother who feared being left behind by his father would be especially sad and uneasy.
Lu Beichen saw her being like a little cat scratching him and felt a bit soft-hearted.
Lu Sinian saw this, let go of the backpack and immediately dashed over to hug Ji Niandong, "Sister Tongtong, you’re not going to leave me, are you?"
His sudden hug made Ji Niandong involuntarily gasp, slightly supporting her waist. Seeing him looking up at her with tearful eyes made her heart ache even more!
