Feeling unnerved by his gaze, Ji Niandong quickly added, "But Little Uncle, you can’t cheat and say it’s not tasty when it clearly is!"
Lu Beichen nodded and then put the lobster meat she held into his mouth, even playfully sucking on her fingertip as if savoring the taste, which came across as rather flirtatious!
Ji Niandong quickly pulled her hand back, instinctively glancing at the expression of the person next to her.
Lu Beichen leisurely finished eating, then said, "Let me peel for you instead!"
"Not tasty?" Ji Niandong furrowed her brows, unable to believe it. "I love eating crawfish the most, just hate peeling the shell. Little Uncle actually thinks it’s not tasty!"
She looked somewhat regretful and turned back to slowly continue peeling the shrimp shell for Little Bun.
Lu Beichen fed her the peeled lobster meat again, "Mrs. Lu enjoys it, so eat more. If the shell is troublesome, I’ll peel for you in the future!"
He spoke lightly and casually, yet the words made Ji Niandong’s heart blossom with joy; even the lobster meat in her mouth seemed sweeter.
Li Yi couldn’t help but cough suddenly!
Before long, Lu Sinian had enough to eat, and Ji Niandong, tired of peeling, decided to stop, but couldn’t help eyeing the crawfish with longing.
Fortunately, Lu Beichen showed no sign of stopping and continued patiently peeling for her until all the dishes were served; he didn’t pick up his chopsticks, still attending to her!
"Little Uncle, aren’t you hungry? Or do you not like these dishes?" Ji Niandong asked worriedly, noticing he hadn’t eaten anything.
"You eat first; I’ll peel some more for you and put it on your plate. When you eat later, I’ll have my meal!" Lu Beichen replied, showing no sign of dislike or impatience.
Ji Niandong stared at him, feeling dizzy from happiness!
"Little Uncle, you’ll spoil me !" Ji Niandong said, biting her chopsticks and looking at him. She must have done something good in her past life to meet him in this one!
"If you get spoiled, you’re still my Mrs. Lu. As long as I like it, it’s fine!" Lu Beichen said domineeringly, making her blush.
Lu Sinian grumbled unhappily, "Mr. Lu, peel some for me too!"
Lu Sinian pouted and said, "Mr. Lu, you’re biased!"
"You’re not my wife, of course I’m biased!"
Boldly admitting it, Lu Sinian set down his chopsticks and shouted, "But I’m your son!"
"You remember you’re my son?" Lu Beichen smiled faintly.
He rarely smiled happily but did rather than coldly or mockingly, Lu Sinian paused, recalling how anxious he was in Switzerland before, and picked up his chopsticks to scoop food into his mouth!
His grandparents always told him Dad loved him, cared about him, stayed by his side day and night when hospitalized, raising him single-handedly, but he was young at the time and didn’t remember much!
The truth was, as he grew up, he indeed lived with him, but daily eating and clothing were mostly arranged by Sister Zhou; besides working, he merely treated him with indifference!
Never had he seen him care so much!
I always thought he didn’t like my mom, so he didn’t like me either, but the last time...
Lu Sinian whispered, "It’s not like I don’t acknowledge you’re my dad; you are. Even if I’m a test-tube baby, it’s your genes that made me!"
Lu Beichen nodded, satisfied, "First time I’ve seen you so mature, this lobster meat is your reward!"
He reached out to hand it to him, Lu Sinian glanced at him, awkwardly using his chopsticks to put the lobster in his mouth, "It’s not like I have to eat it, but you handed it over, so I can’t very well refuse!"
He finished speaking and continued to eat his meal!
Just because I seemed mature, he started being nice; before, was it really because I wasn’t mature enough?
Lu Sinian stayed silent, looking extremely obedient!
Ji Niandong couldn’t help feeling delighted, finally, this father-son duo wasn’t bickering upon meeting!
