Inside the private room, the men sitting around the table all turned toward the door at once.
Lu Ye shot to his feet, hurriedly chewed the barbecue in his mouth, and swallowed.
"Wait, honey, Dad, what are you doing here?"
Shen Qing'an charged over and lashed him with a whip.
"Where did you hide them?"
"Ow-hide what?"
"The person, the omega! Where the fuck did you hide them?"
"Huh? What omega? Dad, what are you talking about?"
Xie Lin had been standing at the door with a resentful expression, staring at the grilled chicken foot in Lu Ye's hand. Shen Qing'an's words left him instantly bewildered.
He finally realized something was wrong.
"Huh? Wait, hold on. Is there some kind of misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding, my ass! I'll beat him to death."
The entire room erupted into chaos. Shen Qing'an chased after Lu Ye with a nine-section whip while Lu Ye ran ahead, howling.
Jiang Si and the others huddled together, not daring to make a sound.
Yan Su scratched his head and asked bluntly,
"A-Ye, is eating barbecue a capital offense in your family now?"
"..."
Shen Qing'an stopped in his tracks and stiffly turned his head.
"What barbecue?"
"Uh..." Jiang Si sneaked a glance at Xie Lin.
"Well, lately, A-Ye said the food at home was so bland he couldn't taste a thing, so I invited him out for some barbecue and beer. Heh..."
Jiang Si was on the verge of tears. He had never imagined they could get caught sneaking out for junk food.
Was Xie Lin a radar in his past life? How had he even found out?
Shen Qing'an looked at Xie Lin. "Sneaking food? Barbecue?"
Xie Lin slurped back his drool. "Yeah, eating behind my back."
Shen Qing'an silently exchanged a look with Lu Tianyang.
