An Qiao's face turned pale and then red after Chu Yunxiao's words, looking as ugly as a palette. Facing the gazes of Chen Biao and the others, she felt even more ashamed and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Liu Xiong had always thought An Qiao was pretty and charming, and he would have been happy to take her in if she were willing to be with him. But now that she was disliked by Chu Yunxiao, he gave up that idea.
It's best for the boss to stay away from women he dislikes.
Chen Biao's gaze turned cold as he looked at An Qiao. She had provoked Liu An Ran time and time again without any sense of propriety. A woman who didn't know her place couldn't be kept around and given important responsibilities, lest she drag everyone down in the future.
"Boss, breakfast is ready," Luo Yuyu said.
Chu Yunxiao put his arm around Liu Anran's shoulder and sat down at the dining table. He saw that there was only a large bowl of porridge and a dish of pickled vegetables on the table. His brows furrowed slightly. Chen Biao and the others hadn't prepared a separate breakfast for Yunlong. Then he remembered that Liu Anran had a spatial ability, so Yunlong could eat fruit if he was hungry, and he felt relieved.
Liu Anran turned to look at Chu Yunxiao. He not only helped her today, but also openly showed affection to her in front of everyone. She was a little shocked and wondered to herself, "Could it be that we developed feelings for each other after just sleeping together?"
Then he laughed at his own absurd idea. If feelings could develop after sleeping together, then Chu Yunxiao must have slept with at least eight, if not ten, women. Wouldn't he like them all?
Damn it! Liu Anran suddenly felt like she was one of Chu Yunxiao's many concubines, a feeling that was really hard for her to accept.
Seeing Liu Anran's brows furrowed, Chu Yunxiao asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Anran smiled and said, "I'm fine, and thank you for standing by my side earlier."
"I'm not helping you, I just don't like people who make trouble out of nothing," Chu Yunxiao said truthfully.
Liu Anran smiled, revealing her teeth, "No matter the reason, I should still thank you."
After Liu Anran finished speaking, she turned to Yunlong and waved to him, "Yunlong, come to Mommy's side quickly, we're going to have breakfast."
Yunlong jumped off the sofa and hopped over to Liu Anran. Liu Anran carried Yunlong to a seat, filled his bowl with porridge, added a piece of pickled vegetables to his bowl, and placed a spoon in his hand, saying softly, "Eat up!"
Yunlong smiled brightly at Liu Anran, picked up the spoon, and obediently drank the porridge.
Seeing how well-behaved Yunlong was, Liu Anran smiled with relief. She then filled a bowl with porridge for herself. Turning her head, she noticed that Chu Yunxiao was looking at her and that his bowl was empty. So she placed the bowl in front of him.
Chu Yunxiao picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of porridge. He looked at Chen Biao and said, "Find something to eat along the way. We can't eat porridge every meal; our bodies can't take it."
“I’m thinking the same thing,” Chen Biao said.
After breakfast, Liu Anran pulled Yunlong into the washroom and whispered to him, "Yunlong, we're going to be spending a lot of time with your dad, so I'll tell him I have a spatial ability, but I can't go inside it. You absolutely can't let that slip, okay?"
"What about my space? Should I tell Dad?" Yunlong asked in a low voice.
"No, you can't tell anyone you have a spatial ability. If people find out you have a spatial ability, they'll lock you up," Liu Anran said solemnly.
She would never allow Yunlong to be in danger.
"Mom, aren't you afraid of being locked up?" Yunlong asked fearfully.
"Mom will be very careful and won't let anything happen to her." Liu Anran said, then had Yunlong fill two bottles with spiritual spring water, pick about ten red fruits, and let him urinate before taking him out of the washroom.
After everyone packed up, they went downstairs. Once downstairs, Chu Yunxiao said to Chen Biao, "I'll drive An Ran and Yunlong myself. You and Liu Xiong will ride in the other car."
"Understood, boss," Chen Biao replied.
The eldest brother must want Yunlong to spend more time together and strengthen their relationship.
Liu Anran carried Yunlong to the back seat and said to Chu Yunxiao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, "I can drive. If you get tired, just let me know and I'll drive for you for a while."
Chu Yunxiao gave a soft "hmm" to indicate that he understood.
Chu Yunxiao drove behind Chen Biao's car, and the three cars quickly drove out of the residential area.
"Yunlong, you get hungry quickly after drinking porridge. Would you like some fruit?" Liu Anran asked.
Yunlong nodded and said, "Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat fruit."
Chu Yunxiao felt a pang of sadness; he was now unable to even feed his son properly.
Liu Anran took some red berries, fed one to Yunlong, and then got up to feed another to Chu Yunxiao.
Chu Yunxiao chewed on the fruit in his mouth, a delicate fragrance filling his mouth, and said, "An Ran, I want to eat another one."
Liu Anran stuffed another fruit into Chu Yunxiao's mouth and joked, "I don't know what kind of fruit this is. Don't blame me if you get sick from eating it."
"It's alright. Since it's in your space, it certainly won't be poison," Chu Yunxiao said nonchalantly.
"The apples and peaches are hanging heavily on the tree, and there are still many left. Our family can eat as many as we want. But the red fruit trees are producing very few, and they are only about the size of bayberries. Once we finish these few, there won't be any left." Liu Anran said, stuffing another red fruit into Chu Yunxiao's mouth.
After eating the red fruit, Chu Yunxiao felt warm all over and had a burning sensation in his dantian, and his face lit up with joy.
"These remaining ones are for you to eat, since you helped me today," Liu Anran said, stuffing the fruit into Chu Yunxiao's mouth one by one before sitting down next to Yunlong.
Liu Anran took out an apple and handed it to Yunlong, saying apologetically, "Yunlong, Mom gave the rest of the red berries to Dad. From now on, you can only eat apples and peaches."
"Mom, it's okay, I can eat apples and peaches," Yunlong said sensibly.
"Yunlong, you're such a good boy. Dad will have Chen Biao stir-fry some cured meat for you for lunch," Chu Yunxiao said.
Yunlong asked, "Dad, can I have a chicken leg? I haven't had a chicken leg in a long time."
Chu Yunxiao said with difficulty, "Yunlong, this is a bit difficult."
Yunlong said disappointedly, "Xiaoming's dad buys him whatever he likes. Aren't you supposed to be amazing? How come you can't even buy a chicken leg?"
Chu Yunxiao's face darkened upon hearing Yunlong's disdainful tone. Could the past compare to the present? He couldn't buy this even if he had the money!
Liu Anran chuckled.
My goodness! The male lead was rejected by her son!
Yunlong looked at Liu Anran and asked, "Mom, didn't you say Dad was very powerful? Why can't we live a good life even after we found him? We still have to drink porridge and eat pickled vegetables, and we can't eat soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, or shrimp dumplings?"
“Yunlong, all the vendors are hiding now. Your dad can’t find them, and he doesn’t know how to cook, so you’ll just have to make do with plain porridge,” Liu Anran said.
