"I'm talking about you! Where did this wild man come from? Mommy, where did he come from?" Chu Jian cleverly hid himself behind Qin Sheng as he looked provocatively at Li Ang.
The corners of Li Ang's lips twitched. Was he supposed to be a wild man?
He was a member of the gentry for crying out loud!
Qin Sheng frowned, her forehead creased with black lines.
How could she explain who Jian Jian was? This posed a bit of a problem...
"Jian Jian, he's my boyfriend, not a wild man."
Chu Jian blinked his big eyes. "This is your boyfriend, and the bad man from the day before yesterday is your man? Mommy, you're with so many men! That's not good!"
Were all children nowadays so observant?
Qin Sheng was speechless for a moment. "You're thinking too much! You don't know the truth. I'm... I'm not with two men! Just this one. The one from yesterday, that one, is just a stranger."
Damn that Gong Mochen! When did he tell Jian Jian that he was her man?
She had already seen Li Ang's green face...
Oh dear... She wanted to beat Gong Mochen with a bat!
Li Ang glared at Qin Sheng. If she dared to say anything wrong to him again, he didn't know what he would do...
He put his hands in his trouser pocket and looked down at the little boy. "Enough about men! Tell me about the child! Where did it come from?"
"He... he is my Godson. That's it," Qin Sheng said.
She had never told Li Ang about Chu Xia and Jian Jian. Li Ang and Sikong Jue were too close. If Li Ang knew, Sikong Jue would know too.
Li Ang looked at Qin Sheng as if she was a stranger. "He is your godson? But where did this thing come from exactly!"
"Let's eat first. I'll explain it to you later!" Qin Sheng pulled Li Ang away from Jian Jian.
Oh dear... What was she going to say?
Chu Jian was so angry that his small face turned rosy. He said loudly, "Who's a thing? I'm a person, not a thing!"
"Okay, I'll remember that. You're not a thing!" Li Ang sneered at the little boy.
Chu Jian scowled back. "You're really bad! And you're so old! How can you smile? You're bullying me and I'm only small!"
The corner of Li Ang's lips twitched. The little thing was strong enough to actually provoke him.
He reached out to grab the little boy's collar and lifted him up. "So what if I bully you? I'm an *****! You're a child. You need to be disciplined."
Chu Jian's small brows were tightly knitted, and his lips were pursed. "Leave me alone! I don't want to be disciplined! Mommy, tell this bad man off!"
Qin Sheng quickly rushed between the two of them. "What are you doing? He's only a child!"
She grabbed Chu Jian off Li Ang and walked towards the dining room.
Li Ang looked at the little person in Qin Sheng's arms. The little boy turned his head and looked at him provocatively. He stuck out his tongue, and then raised his middle finger.
He, a dignified Duke, was actually despised by this little thing! Having Gong Mochen to deal with had been enough of a task, and now there was a third party...
He followed them into the dining room and was so angry that he wanted to spank the little thing.
Le Le gestured for everyone to sit down. She had already served the food.
"Duke, Sister Yun, please try my cooking!"
She took Chu Jian from Qin Sheng's arms and placed him between her and Qin Sheng.
"Fried bacon with dried pickled bamboo shoots! My favorite!" Qin Sheng sat down, picked up a large piece of bacon and put it in her mouth.
Li Ang was stunned. "Didn't you say you don't eat fatty meat?"
There was clearly a thick layer of fat on it.
"You don't understand. This meat is not oily at all, and it's very fragrant! Try it! I guarantee you that it's delicious!" Qin Sheng picked up a piece of preserved meat and sour bamboo shoots and put it into Li Ang's bowl.
Li Ang looked at the dark red thing and frowned. "Is there steak? I'd better eat western food. Qin Sheng, don't you like cream soup? Let's go out and eat western food!"
Cream soup was meant to be Qin Sheng's favorite food, but she seemed to be enjoying the meats.
Qin Sheng shook her head. "No, I want to eat Le Le's cooking!"
Li Ang looked at the girl who was eating very happily. He frowned and put the preserved meat into his mouth. In an instant, his taste buds exploded!
"Oh wow... It's so delicious! It actually smells pretty good too!" He picked up the preserved meat from the plate with his chopsticks and kept putting it into his mouth.
He added some rice to his bowl and ate more of the meat.
Chu Jian was unhappy. He held the rice in his mouth and said indistinctly, "Stinky man, you're not allowed to steal the dishes made by my princess! I haven't had enough yet!"
Li Ang choked on his rice. "Princess? What are you talking about? You are still a child!"
"Le Le is my girlfriend, my princess!" Chu Jian looked at Li Ang proudly. "But my mommy's daughter will be my queen!"
Li Ang resisted the urge to slap his forehead. Qin Sheng's daughter was his daughter!
"In your dreams! My daughter will never be your queen."
He couldn't stand this kid. He would never let him be his son-in-law!
Chu Jian blinked. "Why is Mommy's daughter your daughter? That man yesterday wasn't as bad as you. Mommy, give birth to his daughter instead and make her my queen!"
"F*ck! Whose child is this! Get it out of my sight!" Li Ang was so angry that he almost vomited up the delicious food.
Qin Sheng quickly grabbed Li Ang, stopping him from getting up. "He's only little! He doesn't know what he's saying!"
"I think he's clever enough! Tell me, who is his father?" Li Ang roared angrily.
"I don't have a father, only a mommy!" Chu Jian picked up the last piece of bacon on the plate and put it into his mouth. He smacked his lips and ate to anger Li Ang.
Qin Sheng's forehead darkened. Did it seem like she had an illegitimate child?
"He's the son of a good friend of Chu Xia's. Because he had a heart attack, Chu Xia helps to take care of him. She wanted to see if Chinese medicine could help him," she came up with a reason.
"Chu Xia?" Li Ang's gaze landed on Qin Sheng's face. "Troublemaker! Does she still like to stir up trouble?"
"What do you mean by stir up trouble? I'll go look for Sikong Jue tomorrow and ask him to help Jian Jian," said Qin Sheng.
After the two of them finished talking, Li Ang picked up his chopsticks to eat. Only then did he realize that the plate was already empty. Even the sour bamboo shoots were gone!
Chu Jian had picked up all of the food in Li Ang's bowl and put it into Qin Sheng's bowl.
"Mommy, you've been tired these past few days. Jian Jian will get more food for you. You have to eat more! You're too thin." Chu Jian's little chubby hand caressed Qin Sheng's face.
The little boy in front of Qin Sheng suddenly blinked his big eyes. He was so cute!
Qin Sheng couldn't help but kiss Chu Jian's cheek. "Okay, thank you, Jian Jian! Mommy will eat now!"
Li Ang threw away his chopsticks. What was he going to eat when there were no more food left? The brat was obviously not going to let him eat!
His eyes narrowed and he ordered his men, "Men, Jian Jian has eaten too much. It's not good for his digestion. Throw him out!"
Let's see how he would punish the brat!
