General Zhan bit his lips harshly, his face expressionless.
However, the atmosphere in the cabin had become intense and stern.
Ruan Qingtong coughed softly, pushing the tipsy man a little before she smiled, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Your second uncle and I are just normal friends."
"Mom, are you just ordinary friends with godfather? Then can I still sleep at godfather's house tonight?"
The kid's young and tender voice turned the awkward atmosphere into an icy one in an instant—
Jiang Mianmian nibbled her lips as she bit back a smile, raising her head to look at the icy face of the general.
She bent her body slightly and poked the little boy's cheek softly. "Little kid, what's your name? Can you please tell me?"
That tiny cherubic-faced boy was truly adorable. Perhaps he was too young, thus his voice was coy like a girl's.
He blinked his huge eyes and said each word seriously. "I am called Ruan Jingchen. Everyone calls me Chenchen."
Jiang Mianmian held back her laughter, "So it's Little Chenchen. Earlier, you said… that you want to sleep at godfather's house?"
Ruan Jingchen nodded his head earnestly. "During my fourth birthday, godfather promised that he will play video games with me. But I am now already four years and 45 days old. Godfather didn't keep his word!"
Ruan Qingtong hurriedly carried her child and smiled apologetically. "Chenchen is still young and not sensible. He is just saying nonsense."
Jiang Mianmian had yet to respond when she was abruptly held back by the man's strong hands—
She twisted her neck back and glared at Zhan Muqian.
Provocation. It was full of provocation.
The atmosphere between the adults was a little strange…
Ruan Jingchen did not understand what he had done wrong but he was sensitive enough to know that the atmosphere was not right. He looked pitifully at the adults. He was only short of opening his mouth and bawling.
Feeling sorry for him, Mianmian caressed the child's face. "Chenchen, be obedient. It's just video games. Your godfather is the great General Zhan. He wouldn't break his promise, alright?"
Just as she had finished her words, Jiang Mianmian's lower back was pinched, causing her to hiss in pain.
The tipsy man who had been teasing them earlier stared coldly at Zhan Muqian and the cute girl he had pulled through the door… The ambiguous intimacy between them left his smile turning increasingly more treacherous and cunning.
Little niece?
Interesting~
It was likely that Zhan Muqian was secretly caring for a soft little kitten… enjoying her thoroughly, huh.
…
In the parking lot after the dinner party had ended.
Ruan Qingtong held the hand of her child but Chenchen held resolutely to godfather's car and refused to let go.
Zhan Muqian spoke in a flat tone. "Get in the car, everyone. Chenchen will sleep at my place tonight."
Ruan Qingtong became awkward in an instant. She did not know if she should get in the car or stay where she was.
Jiang Mianmian was the best at helping someone out of trouble. She smiled and added unnecessary details as she said, "Sister Ruan, you are going to be my future aunt. Get in the car, quick! It's just one night. Just take it as you are accompanying Chenchen. After all, you will ultimately marry my second uncle…"
Ruan Qingtong secretly examined the man's expression. Seeing that Zhan Muqian had no opinions, she decided to get in.
…
In the middle of the night at two.
After finally coaxing Ruan Jingchen to wash up and sleep after playing video games, General Zhan finished showering and stood in front of Jiang Mianmian's bedroom door with a dark face.
He twisted the door handle. Unsurprisingly, the wild cat had locked the door from the inside.
Mianmian was still playing games on her mobile phone. When she heard the sound of the door, she held her breath and tried to hold back her laughter.
The crisp sound of something snapping was heard.
Jiang Mianmian was shocked to hear the sound of the door lock breaking and it scared her into hiding under the covers instantly, afraid to make a sound.
The big and imposing man stood by her bed and he tore the covers off the girl in one hand.
Mianmian had an innocent expression of someone being startled awake. She blinked her eyes and protested coquettishly. "Uncle Zhan, breaking into your niece's bedroom in the middle of the night doesn't seem very appropriate~"
The man's lips curled into a sneer as he bent his knees to inhibit the girl's slender legs. "Shout. Shout even louder than this. It will be best if you could shout till everyone surrounds you and watches how your 'uncle' is forcing himself onto you, huh?"
