Chapter 441: Twins, The Truth of That Year! (27)
The silent contest unfolded imperceptibly.
Ji Weitian held her son, completely unaware that anything was amiss, until the little fellow suddenly leaned against her shoulder, whispering softly.
"Mommy, they’re so childish."
Ji Weitian: "???"
Which "they"? Who’s childish?
Qin Nanyu and Leng Jian seemed to hear the little one’s murmur, both stunned for a moment, then simultaneously let go of their hands.
Qin Nanyu reached out to take Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling from Leng Jian’s arms but was rejected.
Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling clung reluctantly to Leng Jian’s neck, tilting her little head as she appeased him, "Daddy, you go play by yourself; I haven’t seen Uncle Leng in so long, I want to hug him a bit more."
Qin Nanyu: "..." !!!
Not only did Qin Nanyu’s face darken, but his chest also ached.
His treasured child, whom he had coddled and pampered, was snatched away in the blink of an eye by an Uncle Leng who popped out of nowhere!
This familiar nickname also reminded Qin Nanyu that Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling once mentioned this person in his presence.
Back then, he was intent on luring Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling to come back with him as his daughter, yet she dragged him to meet her mommy for a date. So she babbled on to him about many things...
Among those mentioned at the time was this Uncle Leng.
He was said to be Ji Weitian’s good friend, but not a lover, just a friend.
He believed it.
Now, seeing the hostility in Leng Jian’s eyes towards him, he would never believe this guy had no other designs on Ji Weitian!
What good friend, what godfather—Leng Jian’s behavior towards Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling clearly showed he wanted to be her real daddy!
They, mother and daughter, were too naïve!
Qin Nanyu had just received Ji Weitian’s text message about bringing a friend home and felt secretly delighted.
When someone comfortably brings friends over to your place, it means she already considers it her home. This realization pleased Qin Nanyu immensely.
He immediately called the villa, instructing the butler to prepare for the reception of distinguished guests. The kitchen also started bustling early on, preparing a table full of delicious food to welcome the visitors.
But now...
Realizing who he was about to entertain, Qin Nanyu felt a lump in his chest that he couldn’t swallow or cough up.
What was this called? Shooting himself in the foot!
Qin Nanyu didn’t even want to offer Leng Jian a bite of food, let alone a drink of water.
Especially at this moment, the butler, conspicuously oblivious, came over to ask him, "Young Master Yu, dinner is ready; shall we start now?"
"You asked the butler to prepare dinner?" Ji Weitian turned her head to look at him somewhat surprised, her gaze flickering slightly.
Having lived at the Qin Family Villa for a while, Ji Weitian roughly knew Qin Nanyu typically wouldn’t bother with such details, so the fact the butler specifically came to ask him meant the meal was his doing.
So, had he contacted the butler after receiving her text message?
Sensing Ji Weitian’s emotions, Qin Nanyu, even though at this moment he wished nothing more than for Leng Jian to leave immediately, instantly regained his composure, and with magnanimity, he parted his lips.
"As it is Mr. Leng’s first visit, Tiantian and I naturally want to extend the warmest welcome."
Tiantian...
This nickname made both Leng Jian and Ji Weitian freeze.
Leng Jian instinctively turned to look at Ji Weitian, while Ji Weitian stared blankly at Qin Nanyu.
He usually called her by her full name, what got into him today, suddenly calling her that... All the goosebumps on her body stood up.
