I had just sat down when someone else came in.
"It's Min'an! Please come in." Jiang Lin was excited when she heard it was Lu Min'an. "Oh dear, this child has been in Xiling City for a while now, and we haven't seen him since."
Qiao Qiao frowned. Why is this guy here?
Lu Min'an walked in quickly. He was much more familiar with the Qiao family: "Uncle Qiao, Aunt Lin."
"Hey kid, when did you get back?" Qiao Feng smiled and waved. "Hurry up and sit down. You probably haven't had breakfast yet, so let's eat together."
Nangong Jue sighed slightly. This was his awareness, but it didn't matter. In the past, he might not have cared about what others thought of him, but now he had to care because he didn't want people to look down on Alan.
Lu Min'an glanced at Nangong Jue, then pulled up a chair and sat down next to Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes, speechless.
"Let's eat." Qiao Feng picked up his chopsticks.
Le Yao made a lot of breakfast, but in the end, it was all gone.
Because of Nangong Jue's arrival, everyone acted as if they were sulking, scrambling and fighting over the food, and in the end, they all ate until they were stuffed.
"Alan, I never expected your cooking to be so good," Jiang Lin exclaimed, rubbing her stomach. "It's even better than my family's chef."
"Auntie, that's because you suddenly changed your taste. You can't eat that every day," Le Yao said modestly.
"No way," Qiaoqiao shook her head. "I eat your cooking every day, and I'm never tired of it."
"You must come often in the future," Jiang Lin smiled. "Come during your holidays, okay?"
Le Yao: ...
Auntie, your intentions are a bit too obvious, aren't they? But I still nodded.
With Nangong Jue and Lu Min'an present, she felt it inappropriate to stay any longer and got up to take her leave.
Nangong Jue also took his leave.
Qiaoqiao then made a phone call gesture to her.
After leaving the Qiao family manor, Le Yao glanced at Nangong Jue and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to pick you up." Nangong Jue reached out and ruffled Le Yao's hair. "It's not good to always stay at other people's houses."
“What’s wrong with it? That’s not someone else’s home, that’s Qiaoqiao’s home, which is like my home.” Le Yao pulled the other person’s hand away. “On the contrary, your house has nothing to do with me. After all, we’re divorced, you understand? It’s like you go your way and I’ll go mine.”
Nangong Jue's face immediately turned ugly.
“I think I should stay at a hotel. After all, I was there as your date to your family's banquet, and now that the banquet is over, our cooperation is over too, so…”
Le Yao spoke for a long time but did not receive a response from Nangong Jue. She turned her head to look at him and saw that the man had his head slightly lowered and his face was somewhat gloomy. However, for some reason, she could feel his sadness.
Suddenly I felt a little reluctant.
"Nangong Jue?" Le Yao reached out and poked his arm. "What... happened to you?"
Nangong Jue turned his head slightly to look at her: "Alan, do you also think I'm worthless? Do you... look down on me?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
“You’ve been drawing a line between us all along.” Nangong Jue’s eyes were slightly red. “I know I was too indifferent to you before, but back then, I was afraid of women because…” He closed his eyes for a moment. “The past was a bit unbearable. Actually, Fu Yun Shen was always worried that I would develop misogyny, but thankfully I didn’t.”
