Where are we eating this afternoon? Aroma asked. Her emotions returned to normal after driving for a distance. Being a military attach partly was because her family pulled a few strings, but her inner quality was also a condition that couldnt be ignored.
Lets have chinese food. I rember the restaurant we went together last year was not bad. Ive been in Sichuan for a while; now I feel like having a change of taste.
En.
Aroma nodded her head, drove her car to one of the districts. After parking, they took the elevator up to the thirty fifth floor. The restaurant was just around the corner. The decoration inside was exquisite, and there were very few tables. Guests had to make reservations in advance, but there was no need to with Aromas background and ability. It wasnt lunchti yet and there werent any guests.
The owner was a middle age man wearing a chefs uniform. He could still recognize the two youngsters who ca last year. After the observant boss confird the number of guests, he arranged them seats by the window. After handing the nu, he imdiately called one of the guests to cancel the reservation.
These types of things were normal for Su Bai and Aroma. However, Su Bai seldom ca to such places, he even seldomly attended gatherings of the childe circles. Aroma was more popular with these circles in Shanghai before she was stationed abroad.
Sotis, Su Bai would wonder, if his parents had not passed away, would he be like those group of childes? When it was ti to play, they played; when it was ti to abandon all restraints, they would abandon all restraints.
The little fella was sitting beside Su Bai; the owner even purposely brought over a baby chair. Lucky was lying down on another chair and it seed to be languid. It had never been interested in human food.
Aroma finished ordering the dishes but did not let Su Bai have a look, and instead placed it on the table. The waiter walked over to collect the nu. Aroma knew that Su Bai was not a person who liked courtesy and taking all the trouble. Whatever she liked, he would like too.
The table started to beco awkwardly quiet. The little fella sensed sothing was not right with the atmosphere, but he did not make any noise. He obediently sat on the baby chair, playing with his own fingers. From ti to ti, he would unwrap his dudou and rub his belly. He was obviously still dissatisfied with the two imprints on his belly.
Why is the child wearing this? Aroma asked.
No ti to shop.
How old is he?
Five-six months old.
When the little fella was born from the foxs body, he was much larger than normal new-borns. New-borns skin were usually creased, had very tiny bodies and were not very good looking, but when the little fella was born, he was already fair and chubby.
The monk ntioned that he was congealed from the spiritual air of the heaven and earth into the foxs body. The fox was not seeded, and so it was only considered a surrogate pregnancy. The little fella and the fox practically had no blood relationship.
Aroma noticed that Su Bai was reluctant to continue talking about this matter and changed the topic.
Tell , when Chu Zhao cos over and sees that you already have a son, how will he react?
Hard to tell. Su Bai gave a wee smile.
Sothing on your mind? Aroma sensed sothing.
Su Bai shook his head.
The atmosphere beca awkward once again.
Su Bai was taciturn. Aroma too was taciturn. They both just sat there quietly.
Chu Zhao arrived about twenty minutes later. A young lady wearing plainclothes followed behind him.
Co, let introduce. This is my girlfriend Xiao Hui, these two are my best friends whom I grew up with. This is Aroma Liu, you can call her sister Aroma; she is currently the most outstanding within our circle. She is a military attach of our countrys embassy. This is my best brother, Su Bai. You can call him brother Bai in the future.
Sister Aroma, brother Bai. Xiao Hui bowed and greeted them both politely.
She was obviously feeling a little awkward. She should be a little clear about Chu Zhaos family background since this wasnt really a secret in the police system. Even though Chu Zhao previously repelled the police profession, he could still go on fine and even got promoted recently. It was obvious soone was taking care of him at the top and was a person of influence. Birds of the sa feather flock together; these two best friends which grew up together that Chu Zhao ntioned naturally were people of status. Furthermore, even the lady who looked only a few years older than her was already a military attach.
How are you? Pleasure to et you.
Aroma nodded her head but did not stand up since both their statuses were obvious. People changed partners very quickly within the circle. If the person Chu Zhao brought over was his fianc, then Aroma would treat her like she would treat people within the circle. Right now, Chu Zhao and that girl were only dating, Aroma naturally wouldnt be too bothered.
Su Bai gently rubbed his fingers. He had been observing her since she ca in and realized this woman was not giving any vibe of the sa species, but her fingernails
Right, fingernails.
That colour, that feeling, could stir up Su Bais gaze which made him feel certain. At the sa ti, he noticed Chu Zhaos complexion was slightly pallid. This was the result when ones Yang vitals were absorbed, and one was treated like livestock.
Damn it, she was actually treating him like a cultivation furnace!
Whose child is this? Hes so cute. Hahaha. Co give uncle a hug.
Chu Zhao saw the little fella, reached out and hugged the fair and delicate child who looked like the child of a new year painting.
My son.
Clang Chu Zhao slipped and nearly fell to the floor. After regaining his footing, he couldnt believe it and stuttered, F*ck, Su Bai. This is not a joke, right?
My son. Su Bai said again.
Ssssss
Chu Zhao inhaled a breath of cold air and inadvertently glanced at Aroma.
Aroma smiled. Dont look at , its not mine.
Cough cough Chu Zhao sat down hurriedly. Xiao Hui sat beside him.
Im still purchasing the ticket, but you have already boarded and departed.
Xiao Hui shyly reached out and pinched Chu Zhaos thigh.
Chu Zhao smirked, not minding at all.
Send in the dishes, Su Bai said to the waiter who was standing at the side.
Alright, wait a mont.
The dishes served were exquisite. Everyone was absent-minded when they dined, but the little fella ate happily. When he saw a dish he liked, he would point it out and Su Bai would place it into his bowl. The little fella did not eat with chopsticks and directly ate with his hands, which gave off an adorable feeling.
Despite being caught off guard by this childs appearance, when Aroma saw this cute delicate baby eating right in front of herself, the complicated emotions she had earlier gradually dissipated. She even took care of the little fella who was eating.
When Chu Zhao saw this scene, he subconsciously twitched his mouth. Even the illegitimate child had appeared, but Aromas attitude gave a feeling like she was willing to be a stepmother.
Im heading to the washroom.
Xiao Hui raised herself slightly and then stood up and headed towards the washroom.
Even though this restaurant had no shopfront, but it focused on high-end dining. It owned three units within this floor, and the washroom was not small. It was basically the sa size as large restaurants.
Su Bai gently patted the little fellas head, took a prawn and placed it into the little fellas bowl. Im going to the washroom too.
After Su Bai left, Chu Zhao imdiately looked towards Aroma. Whats going on? When did Su Bai have a child?
How would I know?
How would you not know, arent you
Huh?
Fine, treat it like I did not say anything. Chu Zhao shrugged his shoulders resentfully. However, it is really nothing for him even if it is his Illegitimate child since the Su family is only maintaining a relationship with him in na. They couldnt be bothered and cant intervene with his private life.
Why are you telling this?
Your family is different. Chu Zhao inhaled a deep breath and said, The few of us are actually able to tell. Even Gu Fan is not stupid, of course he could tell you treat Su Bai(tongue clicking), I am only playing my part as a friend. He now has a child, if you want to be together with him, youll have to break off with your family.
Aroma strangely did not berate Chu Zhao this ti and only remained quiet.
Xiao Hui just walked out of the cubicle and was powdering her face in front of the mirror of the basin. She regarded first ti eting her boyfriends best friends with importance.
At this mont, Su Bai walked in.
Xiao Hui was startled; she looked at Su Bai, patted her chest and said,
Brother Bai, youve entered wrongly. This is the ladies room.
Im not mistaken. Im here for you. Su Bai went straight to the point.
If there is anything brother Bai, we can talk outside, really.
Lets just talk here. Its pretty convenient. Su Bai lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. At this mont, in the eyes of others, Su Bai looked like a playboy who intruded the ladies washroom to harass ladies.
Brother Bai, I am Chu Zhaos girlfriend. If you continue like this, I will shout out for help.
Go on and shout. I want to see in Chu Zhaos heart, am I, the brother he grew up with more important, or you, who he just hooked up and slept with more important? Dont forget who I am, dont forget the gap between us. Our status and position are not the sa.
Su Bais finger gently brushed Xiao Huis cheek.
En, quite smooth. I like it.
Hui Hui, are you done?
Chu Zhaos voice sounded from outside the washroom.
Xiao Hui imdiately caught hold of Su Bais arm, pulled him into the cubicle, closed the door and shouted,
Ill take a little longer. Sorry dear, my stomach is a little unwell.
Its alright, its alright. No rush. Its alright. Ill accompany you to the hospital after were done eating.
The sound of Chu Zhaos footsteps gradually disappeared.
Su Bai smiled, his back was facing Xiao Hui at that mont, He contentedly shook off the cigarette ash.
Hes gone, great. Co help blow, how exciting.
He slowly turned around when he finished talking. Standing in front of him was no longer Xiao Hui, but an ashen faced
Zombie.
Oh, forget about it. Su Bai threw the cigarette butt to the ground indifferently.
Ive finally forced you to reveal yourself!
