To avoid harassment from my brother-in-law, I got married to a wealthy man

Lu Xi also felt that Ji Liangchuan seemed a little strange towards her sister.

Could it be that Ji Liangchuan likes her sister?

That’s not right. Doesn’t Ji Liangchuan think that no woman is worthy of him?

"Second Miss, son-in-law, the meal is ready. We can eat now." Aunt Liu came over at this time.

Fu Nanzhou stood up, then bent down to help Lu Xi, "Let's eat. Aunt Liu, take the guest to wash his hands."

"Okay, son-in-law." Aunt Liu agreed and greeted Ji Liangchuan's family.

Hao Mengting wanted to play the role of a good mother, so she ignored Ji Liangchuan and took Xiaochuan to the bathroom.

The bathroom door was not closed, and Hao Mengting could be heard coaxing the child, softly and gently, "Wash your hands, yes, like mommy, wash the palms and backs of your hands, and also the spaces between your fingers, baby is awesome."

Hao Mengting is very patient when it comes to coaxing children, not because of her personality, but because she truly likes Xiaochuan and because this child is the result of her great efforts and is hard-earned. This child is her bargaining chip for marrying Ji Liangchuan and a step for her to bring benefits to the Hao family.

From beginning to end, she has been taking good care of Ji Xingqi.

Ji Liangchuan was standing outside. When he saw Shen Pingting walking to the window with the black cat in her arms, he followed her with his long legs.

"In order to attract my attention, even something as trivial as eating strawberries can be designed with a sense of design. Miss Shen is quite scheming."

After hearing Ji Liangchuan's words, Shen Pingting was speechless. This man was indeed mentally ill. "I'll say it again, I'm not interested in you. Don't flatter yourself."

After saying this coldly, Shen Pingting looked over him and looked at him with an annoyed look.

"Heh..." Ji Liangchuan sneered. Since she had no interest in him, she still glanced at him before leaving. What a hypocritical woman.

He loved challenges the most. The more Shen Pingting refused to admit it, the more he wanted this woman to admit it.

"Achuan, wash your hands." Hao Mengting led Xiaochuan out and called gently.

Ji Liangchuan said "hmm" with a lukewarm attitude. This was because Hao Mengting was Xiaochuan's mother. If it was any other woman, he would be even more cold-blooded and ruthless.

"Achuan, a face towel." Hao Mengting handed over the face towel very considerately.

Ji Liangchuan took it, wiped his hands and threw it into the trash can without even looking at Hao Mengting.

He had no intention of bringing Hao Mengting here tonight, but Xiaochuan was making a lot of noise, crying for his mother, and he had no choice.

Normally he doesn't allow Hao Mengting to have much contact with his son because Xiaochuan is too attached to Hao Mengting. It is not a good thing for a boy to be whiny and lack masculinity.

Xiaochuan is very popular with his grandparents. If he is outstanding enough in the future and wants to become the heir of the Ji family, he must be trained from a young age.

Hao Mengting was already used to Ji Liangchuan's indifference towards her, so she just smiled bitterly and followed Ji Liangchuan into the restaurant.

At this moment, the food was on the table. Aunt Liu cooked sixteen dishes that were delicious.

"Have a drink?" Fu Nanzhou asked with a smile.

Ji Liangchuan nodded, "Drink some."

Fu Nanzhou went to get a bottle of red wine.

Although Fu Nanzhou and Ji Liangchuan are good friends, they both come from wealthy families, so they pay great attention to table manners and don't talk much.

Hao Mengting was busy taking care of Xiaochuan, wiping his mouth, helping him pick up food, and removing bones for him, just like every mother taking care of her child.

"Mom, please eat." Xiaochuan tilted his little face up, his voice was clear and childish, and very pleasant to hear.

Hao Mengting smiled gently and said, "You eat first. When you are full, Mom will eat later."

Ji Liangchuan frowned and looked over. "He's already 6 years old. It's not like he can't eat by himself. If he's spoiled like this, when will he be able to be independent?"

Hao Mengting glared at him and lowered her voice, "We are in someone else's house, give the child some face."

Ji Liangchuan wanted to say something else, but Fu Nanzhou took over the conversation and said, "Liangchuan, if you have anything to say, tell me when you get back."

After his good brother reminded him, Ji Liangchuan said nothing else and ate quietly.

Shen Pingting has been observing Xiaochuan. Perhaps because he is about the same age as her son, and also because of the influence of the photo, she inexplicably cares about this child.

Before there was news from Fu Xizhou, she couldn't let her imagination run wild, otherwise she would be disappointed.

Forcing herself not to pay attention, Shen Pingting quickly finished her meal and then went to the sofa to pet the cat.

"Mom, I'm full too, let's go play with my beautiful wife."

Xiaochuan got down from the table, ran to Shen Pingting, and stretched out his little hand towards the black cat in her arms.

"Meow!" Bai Xue gave him a warning cry and waved her claws at Xiaochuan. Her amber cat eyes were extremely fierce.

"Baby!" Hao Mengting gasped, ran over quickly, grabbed Xiaochuan, and said nervously, "Did you catch him? Tell mom, did you catch him?"

Xiaochuan chuckled, "No! I'm quick! Mom, am I not awesome?!"

Hao Mengting was angry and amused. "You are awesome! But don't mess with small animals in the future, do you hear me? Some cats are aggressive, especially wild cats, which are hard to tame. If they really bite you, you have to get a rabies vaccine. If something really happens, what are you going to do with me and your dad?"

Listening to her scolding, Xiaochuan grinned, "I'm sorry, Mom, don't be angry, okay? Look at me, look at how bright my smile is."

The child was coaxing her. Every time Hao Mengting pretended to be angry, Xiaochuan would deliberately smile in a funny way, with his facial features squeezed together, revealing two rows of little white teeth, which was super cute.

Hao Mengting seemed to be amused and pinched his little nose, "You, you only know how to use this trick to coax me."

Xiaochuan looked mischievous and said, "Then you just like me to coax you."

Hao Mengting smiled helplessly and pulled Xiaochuan to sit on the sofa. "Will Miss Shen think that I am overprotecting my child? It is probably because I spoil Xiaochuan too much that Liangchuan is always unhappy. You should have noticed that my husband and I are not as loving as other couples in front of outsiders. Alas... Sometimes I really hope that he can treat Lu Xi like Mr. Fu does. He is too cold. If he hadn't hugged me to sleep at night, I really wouldn't feel that he loves me at all."

As she spoke, she looked towards the restaurant with envy.

But Shen Pingting frowned, with a hint of impatience between her brows. She was not interested in the affairs of Hao Mengting and Ji Liangchuan.

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded, "It's really lively."

Fu Xizhou walked in slowly.

Shen Pingting stood up almost immediately, walked towards him quickly, and lowered her voice: "Any news?"

"I guess so." Fu Xizhou agreed casually, took Bai Xue from his arms, and gently scratched its back.

The cat made a comfortable sound, and Fu Xizhou's face became much softer, less dangerous.

Shen Pingting said: "Go out and talk!"

Fu Xizhou lowered his head slightly and asked in her ear: "You are so mysterious, aren't you afraid that Xiaojiu will get suspicious?"

Shen Pingting sneered, "Don't act like you're thinking about me. If that were the case, you shouldn't have come to see me in person."

"You think too much. I'm not here to look for you. I just..."

Fu Xizhou stroked the black cat in his arms and said, "I miss you."

As he said that, he carried the black cat and left the villa first.

Shen Pingting followed immediately.

During this period, Ji Liangchuan had been looking in this direction. The appearance of Fu Xizhou made the frost on his face even thicker.
