Ji Niandong still looked up at him, the unease in her eyes not fading at all.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head for several seconds before saying, "Even if... but Little Uncle married me, he still likes me more, right?"
Her voice was shaky, and Lu Beichen sighed, squatting slightly to look at her, "Since we got married, have I ever done anything to make Mrs. Lu feel I only like you more? Hmm? It seems I haven’t had even the slightest ambiguity with any women, have I?"
Ji Niandong glanced up at him. That’s exactly what he said! But he was so outstanding, so outstanding that the happier she was, the more afraid she was that it would all shatter like a bubble!
"Then... An Lin’s daughter?" Ji Niandong asked softly, "Even if she is, it doesn’t matter to me, after all, you already had Nian Nian when I married you!"
"If An’an were really my daughter, why wouldn’t I, just like with Nian Nian, bring her home to raise?" Lu Beichen reached out and ruffled her hair, "What are you thinking about?!"
"What if each of you raises one..."
She whispered, and Lu Beichen’s face changed, she quickly shrank back her head and didn’t utter another word.
"An’an is not my daughter, she has nothing to do with me!" Lu Beichen hurriedly clarified, "I may have a record, but I’m not that kind of person everywhere I go!"
"Then whose daughter is An’an?" Ji Niandong was both curious and genuinely wanted to confirm.
"This..." He hesitated a bit.
Ji Niandong asked, "Can’t I even know about this?"
He wrapped his arms around her, "I’ll tell you when we get back, let’s go in and get something to eat first, shall we? Did you just finish filming?"
As he spoke, she realized she was indeed hungry and went in with him.
"Sister Tongtong, why are you here? Weren’t you off to film?" The Little Bun made space for her as soon as he saw her come in.
Ji Niandong sat down, Lu Beichen sat at the farthest corner and called out to the waiter, "Order!"
Ji Niandong looked up to examine An Lin, the former leader of the Jade Maiden Faction, even after retiring from the entertainment industry, with her daughter now three years old, was still dazzlingly beautiful, sitting there with such gentleness and beauty.
With willow leaf-like slender eyebrows, a high and delicate nose, and small cherry lips, each of her features was so perfect separately, and even more so when combined together.
Ji Niandong swallowed as she saw An Lin also examining her, feeling a little embarrassed, she lowered her head slightly, and An Lin was the first to reach out, "Hello, I’m An Lin, I’ve heard that Beichen has remarried. I’ve wanted to meet you for a while but didn’t have the chance. I thought you wouldn’t be here today due to filming, but now that I see you, you truly are a rare beauty!"
An Lin always had a smile on her face, unbelievably gentle, and Ji Niandong reached out to shake her hand, "Hello! You’re even more beautiful than on TV, don’t call me a beauty!"
"Aunt An Lin is beautiful, Sister Tongtong is even more beautiful!" said Lu Sinian, who was sitting nearby.
An Lin gave him a soft smile, "Nian Nian, saying that will make Aunt An Lin sad!"
"Don’t be sad, Aunt An Lin, being sad affects your beauty!"
"Oh no!" An Lin shook her head, "Beichen, you should learn from your son, you’re too dull! Isn’t that right, Tongtong?"
Suddenly pointed out, Ji Niandong responded, giving Lu Beichen a cunning glance, "Right! Maybe people at Little Uncle’s age are all a bit dull?"
The dining table suddenly went silent for a few seconds, while Lu Beichen only chuckled coldly.
