Just then, two figures passed the hot pot restaurant. One of them suddenly stopped.
"Xingye, isn't that your fiancé sitting in there?"
"Are you begging for another smack?" Chu Xingye snapped, casually following his friend's gaze.
Sure enough, Jiang Xun sat sideways to the entrance, with the Ji Family's young master with the bad leg across from him.
And... Chu Xingye narrowed his eyes slightly.
Why did the guy beside Jiang Xun, dressed in the restaurant's staff uniform, look so much like the boy he had seen walking with Jiang Xun at school last time?
One wasn't enough. He had to hook up with two.
Quite the operator.
His friend eyed Chu Xingye's head. "Xingye, why do I see cuckold horns growing up there?"
Chu Xingye's brow twitched. He kicked his friend without mercy. "Cut the fucking bullshit."
"Don't follow me." With that, he turned and strode into the restaurant on his long legs, looking ready for a fight.
His friend curled his lip. And he says he doesn't like him. Look how worked up he is.
What a stubborn bastard.
The atmosphere at the table was peculiar.
Bai Lian really did seem hungry. He was tall, but had a teenager's lean frame. With all the manual labor he did, he ate quickly and in large quantities.
With a lunatic sitting across from him, Jiang Xun had no appetite. He just kept piling food into Bai Lian's bowl.
The poor kid had awakened his maternal... paternal instincts.
Having to attend school and earn money to pay off debts at his age couldn't be easy.
"Here, eat some more. There's plenty if that isn't enough."
Bai Lian paused briefly, picking up on the paternal affection in his tone.
He stuffed another mouthful of meat into his mouth.
*He's the same age
