Lu Jingzhi looked up at Huo Jinyan.
Lu Ning ignored him, tugging Lu Jingzhi along into the crowd.
Following her, Huo Jinyan secretly gestured behind him; the bodyguards a short distance away silently stopped moving.
Lu Ning pulled Lu Jingzhi along as they walked and ate.
When Huo Jinyan caught up to them, he was originally on Lu Ning’s left. When
Lu Jingzhi noticed this, he swiftly swapped from her right to her left, and held her hand, separating her from Huo Jinyan. He even shot a glance at Huo Jinyan.
Huo Jinyan:
Huo Jinyan decided to give it a test. If he moved to the right, Lu Jingzhi would move to the right. If he went over to the left, Lu Jingzhi would also tirelessly switch back to her left.
Unwilling to play along with these two childish people, Lu Ning let go of his hand and went to buy pineapple rice.
Frozen on the spot, Lu Jingzhi looked at his palm, then at Huo Jinyan.
An adult and a child stood in the middle of the bustling street, staring at each other.
Lu Ning turned to look at the two of them in the crowd. “Want to eat?”
Almost at the same time, the two of them replied, “Yes!”
Lu Ning could not help but laugh. She raised her hand and handed a portion to Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi looked at Huo Jinyan provocatively with a victorious smirk.
Huo Jinyan:
Holding back her laughter, Lu Ning handed another portion to Huo Jinyan. “He’s only five years old!”
He made no comment, but when Huo Jinyan received the pineapple rice from Lu Ning, he did not forget to look at Lu Jingzhi and perk his eyebrows.
Lu Jingzhi: ‘
After Lu Ning paid for them, she took the last portion and walked off.
The two of them quickly followed behind her.
Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi were almost done eating; they turned to look at Huo Jinyan, who had yet to begin.
He had never eaten anything like this before. Usually, the first-class chefs at the old residence would prepare all kinds of delicacies for him, and even after he went to A City he arranged for someone to cook his meals and send them to his home every day.
So, he had never touched such snacks before.
However, he was not conflicted; rather, he did not know how to take the first bite.
Lu Ning threw the trash in her hands into a trashcan and turned to Huo Jinyan. “You’ve never had it before?”
Huo Jinyan peered at her without saying anything, but his behavior told her everything.
Lu Ning could not help but giggle. “Try it. It’s very good.”
Huo Jinyan could not move a finger. Lu Jingzhi looked up at him and said, “How dumb.”
Lu Ning could not contain her laughter while Huo Jinyan glared at Lu Jingzhi. Lu Ning took the spoon from his hand and scooped some up, bringing the spoon towards him. “Try some. It’s really delicious.”
Huo Jinyan was a little taken aback when he saw her bringing the spoon towards him. After being frozen stiff for a couple seconds, he timidly leaned over and opened his mouth to eat the pineapple rice Lu Ning was feeding him.
As it entered his mouth, a mild sweetness spread on his tongue, followed by a slight sourness. When he looked up, he saw her face brimming with anticipation.
“How is it? Does it taste good?”
Lu Ning desperately wanted to know the results of her recommendation.
Huo Jinyan’s eyes lit up as he looked at her, his lips curling into a slight smile.
“It’s delicious.’
When Lu Ning heard this, she broke into a smug grin.
She scooped another spoonful and fed it to him. “Come on, have another bite.”
Perhaps her recommendation was such a resounding success that Lu Ning forgot herself; she did not think anything was wrong with her behavior.
Huo Jinyan even took another bite very agreeably.
Lu Jingzhi was discontent. “He’s not a child. Not even I have to be fed.”
Only then, did Lu Ning come to her senses. She tossed the spoon to him and had him eat it himself.
Not far away, someone looked at them in disbelief. “Am I seeing things…? That’s… Huo Jinyan?”
