When it was time for lunch, Chu Lingtian did not appear at the dining table. Ye Xi looked at Lan Xin with suspicion, "Mom, where's Uncle?"
"He has something to take care of today, so he won't come back to eat with us."
Lan said as she looked at Ye Xi hesitantly. "Xiao Xi, why are you calling me Daddy Uncle?"
She had wanted to ask this a long time ago.
Ye Xi was slightly startled, her bright and beautiful crystal-like eyes stared wide at Lan. "I, I, I'm already used to it."
"..." Get used to it? " Lan Qing frowned. A look of suspicion and contemplation appeared on her face.
Seeing that, Ye Xi hurriedly said, "Mom, don't you like me calling you uncle?"
Lan Qing frowned, and with a complicated smile, she said, "It's not that I don't like it, but I feel that your father prefers you to call him father, not uncle."
Ye Xi's heart skipped a beat, he had all sorts of feelings, so he asked softly, "Really?"
Lan looked at Ye Xi's troubled little face, then suddenly calmed down, and patted her hand with a smile. "It's just a title, if you get used to calling me uncle, then just call me that. In any case, he's not something your father can change by addressing him in the same way. "
Even though Lan said that, Ye Xi was deep in thought with a frown.
After the meal, Ji
ian brought Little Treasure to wander around. Because Ye Xi was a pregnant woman, he told her not to get close to her.
So Ji
ian took Xiao Bao to another place to walk around.
Ye Xi was tired after eating his fill, so he went back to his own room to take a nap.
Lan Ben also pla
ed to rest for a while, but Qin Qing called him over.
When Lan Qing saw him, he was somewhat surprised. "Brother Qing, why are you here?" Didn't you go out with A'Tian? Where's A'Tian? "
For once, Qin Qing was hesitant in front of Lan. "Ling Tian is not back yet."
"?" Lan Jue looked at him, puzzled. "Brother Qing, what's the matter?"
Qin Qing frowned, he walked to the side of the table and poured a cup of water, raising his head to drink, then nodded: "En, I have something to say."
"What?" Lan walked over and looked at Qin Qing curiously.
Qin Qing sat on a chair by the side of the table.
Chu Lingtian returned to the Chu Residence at around 4 PM.
Seeing Chu Lingtian appear in Plum Garden in high spirits, Ye Xi, who had just woken up and was eating a sour plum, couldn't help but to curl his lips and ask sweetly, "Uncle, looking at how happy you are, did something good happen?"
Chu Lingtian lovingly caressed Ye Xi's head, and then sat down beside her, "Mhm."
"What good news?" Ye Xi asked curiously.
Chu Lingtian raised his eyebrows, but laughed silently.
Lan carried the hand-made pastries to the door and saw Chu Lingtian sitting in his seat. His face instantly collapsed, but he quickly readjusted it and walked in sweetly with a smile, "Tian, you're back."
Hearing Lan Lan's gentle voice, the smile in Chu Lingtian's eyes deepened, and the trace of lines in the corner of his eyes became slightly mature and sexy. He turned his head, lifted his lips and watched Lan walk in, then grabbed Lan's hand and kissed it. "So fragrant."
Lan Jue shook his hand away. "Not for you." It's for our daughter. "
Chu Lingtian was not jealous. With a slight smile on his lips, he took the pastry in her hand and directly placed it in front of Ye Xi.
Looking around, he did not see Ji
ian. His long eyebrows lightly knitted, "Where's Ji
ian?"
Lan Jue shot him a cold glance. "I went to play with Duke Qin."
Qin Qing?
The corner of Chu Lingtian's mouth curled up as he looked at Lan, and seeing the coldness in her eyes, he asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Really?"
Lan smiled at him. "Yes." Your biological grandfather is so busy that he has so much to do every day. He doesn't have time to accompany his grandson, so just let Big Brother Qing do it for him. "
Eyebrows...
Why did she feel that her mother was a person of her word today?
Ye Xi licked his lips, bitterly reached out to touch a piece of pastry, lowered his head and silently stuffed it into his mouth, yet his eyes continued to tilt towards Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian's face stiffened, he opened his mouth, but did not know what to say.
She said in a very low and gentle voice, "Ah Tian, since you're so busy, I don't think you need to rush back in the future. Why not just buy an apartment in the city, what do you think?"
Chu Lingtian's brows twitched, the sight of his face twitching was a little fu
y.
Ye Xi felt both pity and amusement. He pursed his lips into a smile and tried his best to act transparent.
It seemed that someone had offended her mother! Amen!
Lan Jue didn't know how to laugh. He frowned, then turned and walked outside.
Chu Lingtian took a deep breath, without thinking, he stood up and followed.
Seeing the two of them walking out one after the other, Ye Xi was first stu
ed, then laughed while clutching his stomach.
Laughing, he also felt lonely.
A man as tyra
ical, as well as a dangerous, and self-aware, as powerful as Chu Lingtian was completely suppressed in front of Lan.
When would her family be squeezed by her?
Depressed!
Chu Lingtian chased Lan all the way to the study room.
His leg had just stepped into the study when his heart was struck.
Chu Lingtian's eyebrows twitched, he extended his hand and grabbed the soft hand that was being hit by Lan, then used his other hand to grab onto Lan's waist and carried him into the study room, closing the door behind him.
"Chu Lingtian, let go of me!"
"No." A simple rejection.
Chu Lingtian tilted his lips, pinched her cheeks and said coldly, "Do you believe that I can make you surrender after playing with me for so long?"
Blue said angrily, "You hoodlum!"
Chu Lingtian thought that it was a honor instead. With his eyes closed, not to mention how wicked and rogue he looked, it would make people want to get close to him.
Lan Jue shut his eyes, and gritted his teeth as he glared at him. "Tell me, what good news have you been up to today?"
Chu Lingtian's gaze became deeper as the corners of his mouth remained hooked. His mature and handsome face became deeper and colder, "Don't you know?"
"?" Lan Jue's breath tightened. He looked at Lan Jue in disbelief. "So you're telling the truth?"
Chu Lingtian pursed his lips, which could be considered to be tacit approval.
Lan immediately beat him up in anger, "Chu Lingtian, how can you do such a thing as beating down on others while they are down? "You are too despicable!"
Chu Lingtian slightly frowned, his face revealing a trace of depression. He rubbed the hand that was holding the Blue Hammer Technique, and said with a cold tone, "Despicable? I don't think it's mean. As a businessman, this is a great opportunity, and I can't just ignore it. "
"But don't forget, other than being a merchant, you're also Xiao Xi's father. Have you ever thought about if at this time, not only did you not help Yaoting and instead did so while he was still in danger, how would Xiao Xi face Yaoting in the future? Do you want to ruin our daughter's happiness? " Lan angrily glared at Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian remained unmoved as he looked deeply at Lan, and said without hurry, "All of my future belongs to Xiao Xi. Since Xiao Xi and Huo Yaoting are husband and wife, then who's the difference between these things now? "
"?" Lan was startled, and looked at Chu Lingtian confusedly, "What do you mean?"
Chu Lingtian squinted his eyes and said coldly, "I have to ensure Xiao Xi's happiness. No matter what, my daughter has to grasp the initiative, even if it's within the marriage."
"..." You want to use these to control Yaoting? " The blue light was inconceivable.
