As if noticing the awkward atmosphere on Zhao Youlin’s side, Su Ruixin quickly walked over with Duan Yarong and the others.
“Isn’t it Mr. Lu?” Although Su Ruixin did not have much of a presence when it came to veiled talks and , she was usually able to suppress the situation when it came to critical moments. “Long time no see. How have you been?”
“Pretty good. Has Mrs. Mu gone to visit the former master recently? I just returned to the country and haven’t had the time to visit him. I wonder if he has been feeling well recently?”
Su Ruixin could not help but grumble in her heart. The former master has just returned to the country, and this guy has already shown up before he even had the chance to visit us. You’re looking down on his children!
Su Ruixin scoffed at Lu Xiangtian’s words in her heart, but she maintained a decent smile on her face.
“The former master is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu.” Su Ruixin said and gave Zhao Youlin a look. “Youlin, is it almost time for the baby to be fed? Why don’t you go up and feed the baby first before coming down? Don’t worry, we’ll take care of him here. We’ll be fine.”
Zhao Youlin nodded in understanding. She got up and apologized to the others, “I’m sorry, I’ll go up and feed the baby first. Take your time.”
It was fine if Zhao Youlin had not gotten up. As soon as she got up, the rosary that was held in the child’s hand fell out without any warning.
Lu Xiangtian had not paid much attention to Zhao Youlin when he heard that she was going to leave early, but when he saw the necklace on Zhao Youlin’s neck, his expression changed.
“Wait!”
Zhao Youlin suddenly stopped turning around and turned to Lu Xiangtian. She asked in confusion, “Mr. Lu, is there anything else?”
The few people on the side who had already calmed down became worried again when they saw this. Lu Shu, who was beside Lu Xiangtian, also noticed the necklace on Zhao Youlin’s neck because of Lu Xiangtian’s actions, and her pupils constricted, and her face instantly turned pale.
Lu Sizheng was much calmer. After seeing the expressions on Lu Xiangtian and Lu Shu’s faces, a hint of understanding flashed across his eyes, and the way he looked at Zhao Youlin became more meaningful.
Lu Xiangtian also seemed to realize that he was being a little abrupt, but he still said, “Ms. Zhao, can you let someone carry the baby to feed it first? I have something to discuss with Ms. Zhao alone.”
When Mu Tingfeng and the others heard this, their expressions changed.
“Uh…” Zhao Youlin’s body stiffened as she said awkwardly, “That’s not good. Uh… What I mean is, this mischievous child of mine doesn’t like to be carried by strangers. Usually, I carry him to feed him. If it were someone else suddenly, I’m afraid…”
“It’s okay, I can wait.” Lu Xiangtian said as he sat on the chair. He actually planned to sit there until Zhao Youlin came back.
Zhao Youlin was speechless.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became a little more awkward. Zhao Youlin looked at the child in her arms and then at Lu Xiangtian, she sighed and said, “Mom, you take the child upstairs and feed it first. I’ll talk to Mr. Lu.”
As she spoke, Zhao Youlin directly handed the child to Duan Yarong on the side.
Duan Yarong frowned and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Youlin. She pursed her lips and carried the child upstairs.
Lu Xiangtian’s expression softened a little when he saw Zhao Youlin’s compliance. He stood up and looked around. He found a remote balcony and said, “Shall we go there to talk?”
Zhao Youlin nodded and gestured for Lu Xiangtian to leave first.
Mu Tingfeng frowned and held Zhao Youlin’s wrist in disapproval. He wanted to stop her from going over, but Zhao Youlin quickly kissed him on the side of his face.
Zhao Youlin’s soft words of comfort reached his ears. “Don’t worry, I’ll be right back. This is our house, and there are so many people here. He probably won’t dare to make things difficult for me, even if I let him go.”
Mu Tingfeng’s face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, “If anything happens, call me immediately.”
Zhao Youlin nodded and turned to look at Lu Shu as if she had sensed something. It did not surprise her to see Lu Shu’s face darkened and her eyes filled with gloom as she stared at her, as if she wanted to skin her alive.
A deep thought quickly flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. She did not stay where she was for long and walked in the direction where Lu Xiangtian had just left.
The banquet was bustling once again, but Zhao Youlin knew very well that countless people were looking in their direction.
Zhao Youlin took a deep breath and stood in front of Lu Xiangtian. She took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Lu, is there anything important that you need to talk to me about in private? You can tell me now.”
Lu Xiangtian turned to look at Zhao Youlin and said with a smile, “Ms. Zhao, are you nervous?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She looked at Lu Xiangtian’s smiling face. He was obviously smiling, but Zhao Youlin felt an unspeakable chill run down her spine. Lu Xiangtian was obviously smiling, but Zhao Youlin didn’t know what to say. Zhao Youlin couldn’t help but feel a chill run down her spine.
This man always inadvertently revealed his frightening side. It was a kind of precipitation of the past.
Zhao Youlin pursed her lips and sighed, “Mr. Lu, I’m just an ordinary person.”
I’m just an ordinary person. I want to live the life that an ordinary person should live. I just want to live my life peacefully and blissfully. I don’t want to get involved in your disputes.
After listening to Zhao Youlin’s words, Lu Xiangtian’s eyes flickered. His eyes also began to stare at the necklace on Zhao Youlin’s neck.
“This necklace of Ms. Zhao looks very beautiful.”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She didn’t understand why the topic had suddenly changed to this. She frowned and said, “Thank you. If Mr. Lu has nothing else to do, I’ll go back first.”
“Wait.” Before Zhao Youlin could turn around, Lu Xiangtian called out to her again.
Looking at Zhao Youlin’s obviously impatient eyes, Lu Xiangtian didn’t know what was wrong with him. Suddenly, he felt a little disappointed. “If possible, I hope we can still talk like we did in the coffee shop last time, and not like this…”
As soon as Lu Xiangtian said this, Zhao Youlin’s face turned black. If there was anything that she regretted since her rebirth, this incident was definitely one of them!
If she had known at that time that she would get into such big trouble because of this incident, she would rather completely offend this guy than say those words to him that ended up entangling her in this!
Zhao Youlin was so regretful that her intestines turned green. However, she said helplessly, “I’m sorry. I offended Mr. Lu back then. I hope that Mr. Lu Won’t forget this petty mistake. Don’t be too calculative with a junior like me.”
Lu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhao Youlin. Zhao Youlin also raised her head and met his gaze without hiding it. Their gazes met in the air. No matter how one looked at it, there was a little tension between them.
