Bo Junyi was not satisfied with the result.

When he opened his mouth to speak, Bo Mingxiu stopped him with a wave of his hand. "It would be good for everyone if we could understand each other better."

It was soon lunch time, and Li Susu followed Wen Nianshu to the restaurant, following her like a little tail, calling her "sister" all the time.

In the restaurant, five or six maids in navy blue uniforms were serving dishes in an orderly manner. The sound of the jade spoon handles hitting the porcelain was as crisp as jade objects colliding with each other.

Li Susu stared at the rock sugar bird's nest carved into the shape of a lotus in front of her, and thought of her own breakfast which cost one yuan each - a steamed bun and a portion of pickles, and a strong sense of inferiority welled up in her heart.

There is an unbridgeable gap between him and Bo Junyi.

Just when she was distracted, she suddenly heard the voices of a group of maids greeting her in unison.

When Li Susu saw Bo Junyi and his father walk in, her nerves tensed up and she stood up subconsciously.

The old man in front of me looked to be in his sixties or seventies. He was wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit. His face seemed to be carved by a knife and an axe. Under his high brow bones were a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle. Under his straight nose bridge, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a firm line. His silver-white sideburns were combed meticulously, but his posture was still as straight as a pine tree, and he exuded a majestic temperament.

Li Susu timidly called out, "Hello, uncle."

"Sit down."

Bo Mingxiu's gaze fell on her, his tone was indifferent and his emotions could not be discerned.

Li Susu sat down quietly, and almost at the same time, Bo Junyi came over, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to her naturally.

As his tall figure approached, he brought with him a crisp scent of cedar mixed with a hint of tobacco.

Li Susu's back straightened instantly, and her shoulders subconsciously shrank to the other side, but she stopped immediately when she realized the action, and lowered her head to stare at the exquisite tableware in front of her.

Soon, the entire table was filled with exquisite dishes, including steamed grouper, truffle foie gras... Each dish was so exquisite that people were afraid to pick up their chopsticks, for fear of ruining the chef's carefully designed dish.

The servant brought a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to her. Li Susu said "thank you" softly, stirred it carefully with a spoon, and found that there was a whole abalone in it, and paused slightly.

For some reason, I felt a slight nausea in my stomach.

Noticing her hesitation, Bo Junyi moved the dish away for her and handed it to the servant waiting on the side, then picked up a piece of honey-glazed hot pot and gently placed it on the small plate in front of her.

"Try this." Her voice was low and gentle. "It's the chef's specialty."

Li Susu nodded, savoring the drink in small sips. The sweetness melted on her tongue, but it made her nose feel strangely sour.

Wen Nianshu smiled like an auntie and handed over a bowl of bird's nest at the right time, "Susu, this is good for the fetus."

The bird's nest in the white porcelain cup is crystal clear, shining like pearls under the light.

Li Susu took it with both hands. Her fingertips touched the warm texture of the porcelain, but it felt extremely hot.

Li Susu didn't eat much during the whole meal. She always waited for others to pick up their chopsticks first before she followed suit and picked up the nearest dish.

When the servant brought the dessert, she looked at the exquisitely shaped chocolate sculpture and couldn't help but sigh softly, "How beautiful!"

I regretted the words as soon as they came out of my mouth, fearing that I would appear to be inexperienced.

Bo Junyi smiled and cut a piece for her himself.

Li Susu pursed her lips. "Isn't chocolate too sweet? It's not good for controlling sugar—"

Bo Junyi reached out and gathered a strand of hair that fell by her ear. "Eat a moderate amount, it's okay."

Because of his intimate gesture, Li Susu's breathing suddenly became irregular. She looked at Bo Mingxiu across from her in panic, then quickly lowered her eyes and explained in a low voice, "I just think she's beautiful. I don't really like sweet things."

Under the table, his leather shoes gently touched her canvas shoes.

The touch of the toes of their shoes made Li Susu startled. She looked up and met his deep gaze.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, his voice low and gentle, "Are you sure you don't like it?"

The crystal chandelier in the restaurant reflected in his eyes, as if tiny starlight had fallen into them.

His fingertips found her hand under the tablecloth and gently held it.

"Don't be restrained," Bo Junyi said in a low voice, but every word was clear. "From now on, wherever I am, that will be your home."
