The silent contest unfolded imperceptibly.
Ji Weitian held her son, completely unaware that anything was amiss, until the little fellow suddenly leaned against her shoulder, whispering softly.
"Mommy, they’re so childish."
Ji Weitian: "???"
Which "they"? Who’s childish?
Qin Nanyu and Leng Jian seed to hear the little one’s murmur, both stunned for a mont, then simultaneously let go of their hands.
Qin Nanyu reached out to take Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling from Leng Jian’s arms but was rejected.
Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling clung reluctantly to Leng Jian’s neck, tilting her little head as she appeased him, "Daddy, you go play by yourself; I haven’t seen Uncle Leng in so long, I want to hug him a bit more."
Qin Nanyu: "..." !!!
Not only did Qin Nanyu’s face darken, but his chest also ached.
His treasured child, whom he had coddled and pampered, was snatched away in the blink of an eye by an Uncle Leng who popped out of nowhere!
This familiar nickna also reminded Qin Nanyu that Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling once ntioned this person in his presence.
Back then, he was intent on luring Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling to co back with him as his daughter, yet she dragged him to et her mommy for a date. So she babbled on to him about many things...
Among those ntioned at the ti was this Uncle Leng.
He was said to be Ji Weitian’s good friend, but not a lover, just a friend.
He believed it.
Now, seeing the hostility in Leng Jian’s eyes towards him, he would never believe this guy had no other designs on Ji Weitian!
What good friend, what godfather—Leng Jian’s behavior towards Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling clearly showed he wanted to be her real daddy!
They, mother and daughter, were too naïve!
Qin Nanyu had just received Ji Weitian’s text ssage about bringing a friend ho and felt secretly delighted.
When soone comfortably brings friends over to your place, it ans she already considers it her ho. This realization pleased Qin Nanyu imnsely.
He imdiately called the villa, instructing the butler to prepare for the reception of distinguished guests. The kitchen also started bustling early on, preparing a table full of delicious food to welco the visitors.
But now...
Realizing who he was about to entertain, Qin Nanyu felt a lump in his chest that he couldn’t swallow or cough up.
What was this called? Shooting himself in the foot!
Qin Nanyu didn’t even want to offer Leng Jian a bite of food, let alone a drink of water.
Especially at this mont, the butler, conspicuously oblivious, ca over to ask him, "Young Master Yu, dinner is ready; shall we start now?"
"You asked the butler to prepare dinner?" Ji Weitian turned her head to look at him sowhat surprised, her gaze flickering slightly.
Having lived at the Qin Family Villa for a while, Ji Weitian roughly knew Qin Nanyu typically wouldn’t bother with such details, so the fact the butler specifically ca to ask him ant the al was his doing.
So, had he contacted the butler after receiving her text ssage?
Sensing Ji Weitian’s emotions, Qin Nanyu, even though at this mont he wished nothing more than for Leng Jian to leave imdiately, instantly regained his composure, and with magnanimity, he parted his lips.
"As it is Mr. Leng’s first visit, Tiantian and I naturally want to extend the warst welco."
Tiantian...
This nickna made both Leng Jian and Ji Weitian freeze.
Leng Jian instinctively turned to look at Ji Weitian, while Ji Weitian stared blankly at Qin Nanyu.
He usually called her by her full na, what got into him today, suddenly calling her that... All the goosebumps on her body stood up.
