After two years apart, seeing her son who had grown taller and more mature, Qin Nian couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She smiled and reached out to hug him, but in the end, she touched his shoulder instead.
"You've grown taller. In two more years you'll be as tall as Mom. Come on, let's go eat together. Are you hungry?"
The mother and son clasped hands together, filling half of the void in their hearts.
"Liwu will be back tomorrow night, shall we go pick him up together?"
"Okay, Mom, I have a lot of questions, can you help me answer them?"
"sure."
The mother and son started chatting, but Shen Xianjun found that he couldn't get a word in edgewise. After two years apart, Li Wenxue's learning was completely different from what he had learned before. Had he already learned such profound things at such a young age?
No, it seems he needs to work harder. He can't be unable to understand or join in what his wife and children are saying, otherwise he'll seem like a father who lacks authority.
It's one thing to be inferior to one's wife, but to fall behind one's children is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.
With his mind made up, Shen Xianjun led his men to the restaurant they had booked.
After Qin Nian answered Li Wen's question, the food was served, and Qin Nian put a lot of food in Li Wen's bowl.
"Mom, you eat too."
Li Wen put a piece of meat into Qin Nian's bowl, and then put meat in Yang Yufen's and Professor Wen's bowls as well.
"Grandma, Grandma, you eat too."
"Okay, okay."
Professor Wen and Yang Yufen were overjoyed.
Li Wen didn't forget his friend and also served food to Wang Xing.
Shen Xianjun waited for a while, still wondering whether he should casually offer a compliment, but all he saw was his son, wife, mother and mother-in-law eating happily, completely forgetting about him.
This kid is actually treating people differently!
Shen Xianjun suddenly lost his appetite.
Wang Xing was enjoying his meal. Being observant, he noticed that Shen Xianjun looked somewhat dejected. Although it wasn't very obvious, there was a lot of resentment emanating from him.
Wang Xing nudged Li Wen under the table. When Li Wen looked over, Wang Xing gestured with his chin.
Which dish would you like to eat?
Li Wen didn't notice his biological father; he just thought Wang Xing wanted something to eat but was embarrassed.
Wang Xing felt somewhat helpless and could only move closer and speak in a low voice.
"You didn't serve Uncle Chen any food."
The child's voice was soft, but Shen Xianjun had good hearing and heard it clearly. Qin Nian was sitting next to Li Wen and heard it too, so she couldn't help but look at her husband.
Liwen looked over, suppressing a smile, and picked up a piece of meat to put in his father's bowl.
"Dad, you eat too."
Shen Xianjun wanted to say it was too late, but when he met his wife's gaze, he silently finished eating the food. As soon as he finished, another piece of food appeared in his bowl.
"You eat too."
Qin Nian put it in Shen Xianjun's pocket, and Shen Xianjun's mood immediately improved.
"How can a grown man be arguing with a child?"
Yang Yufen whispered to Professor Wen.
Shen Xianjun, with his keen ears, quietly served food to his mother and Professor Wen, which made everyone feel more at ease.
