Chapter 1847 - 1840: A Warm Moment

Qiu Yingrong adjusted her mood, looked at Lu Tianxing, and spoke softly like a gentle wife: "Dinner is ready, you can come down and eat now."

"Dinner time, Dad. Let me tell you, Mom’s cooking is delicious. I love the sweet and sour ribs the most."

Upon hearing Qiu Yingrong’s words, Lingling cheered eagerly, impatient to pull Lu Tianxing towards the outside.

The food on the table was simple: four dishes and one soup, all made up of some common home-cooked dishes, but the aroma from the dishes was mouth-watering.

"Let me taste it first."

Lu Tianxing strode towards the dining table, reaching for the bright red sweet and sour ribs on the table.

"Dad, give me a piece, let me taste it too."

Lingling followed Lu Tianxing’s hand, her eyes glued to the bright red ribs, unblinking, a typical little foodie.

"Stop, neither of you can eat yet."

Qiu Yingrong quickly walked to the dining table, glaring angrily at the two of them, "You both need to wash your hands before eating. Now, go wash your hands."

Lu Tianxing and Lingling exchanged a look, sighed simultaneously, and turned to head to the bathroom, talking as they walked.

"Lingling, have you noticed your mom has the potential to turn into a fierce woman in a second."

"Dad, you’re right. Sigh, Mom’s getting old, doesn’t she know the saying that a bit of dirt doesn’t hurt? Sigh, she might never get married at this rate."

"Yeah, your mom is really tough."

Listening to Lu Tianxing and Lingling teasing back and forth, Qiu Yingrong wasn’t angry at all. Instead, a radiant smile appeared on her face. Perhaps she could forget the past and start a new life.

After washing their hands, Lu Tianxing and Lingling sat at the dining table with serious expressions, as if they were doing something very solemn. Their eyes met, almost sparking with electricity.

"Let’s eat."

Before Lu Tianxing even finished speaking, he swiftly picked up a piece of sweet and sour rib with his chopsticks and popped it into his mouth, a burst of sweet and sour flavor filling his mouth.

"Dad, you’re cheating! We agreed I would start first. You’re cheating."

Lingling waved her arms, strongly protesting against Lu Tianxing, but her hands were not slow, picking up a piece of rib and tossing it into her mouth.

The dining table suddenly became lively, with Lu Tianxing constantly competing with Lingling for the food on the table, Lingling’s occasional exclamations and complaints ringing out, causing Lu Tianxing to burst into laughter.

Qiu Yingrong ate very little, spending more time resting her chin in her hands and quietly watching Lu Tianxing and Lingling playing, her face soft with a smile.

"Perhaps being with this man is a very happy thing."

A thought flashed through Qiu Yingrong’s mind, but then her eyes flickered with a hint of dimness, as if she remembered something. She supported her chin with her hand and stared blankly at Lu Tianxing, as if she wanted to imprint his image in her heart once more.

"So full."

The sounds of satisfaction, one big and one small, came from Lu Tianxing and Lingling as they leaned back in their chairs, rubbing their bellies in almost identical movements.

If someone unfamiliar saw this scene, they would definitely think that Lingling and Lu Tianxing were biological father and daughter; otherwise, how could they make such synchronized movements?

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

Lingling suddenly got off her chair, walked over to Qiu Yingrong, and waved her small hand in front of Qiu Yingrong’s eyes.

Qiu Yingrong, oblivious, was still watching Lu Tianxing, as if at that moment, Lu Tianxing had turned into the one she longed for in her heart, making her wish time could stop forever.

"Mom!"

Seeing Qiu Yingrong ignore her, Lingling couldn’t help but shake Qiu Yingrong’s arm.

"Lingling, what’s wrong?"

Qiu Yingrong’s body shuddered, and she suddenly came back to her senses. Remembering her earlier demeanor, a blush instantly crept up her pretty face.

"Mom, what were you looking at? Were you looking at Dad?"

Lingling blinked curiously.

Hearing this, Qiu Yingrong instinctively glanced at Lu Tianxing. When she saw Lu Tianxing smiling at her, her face turned bright red, and she gave Lingling a stern look: "What nonsense are you talking about, child? I was just thinking about something."

"Really?"

Lingling’s beautiful eyes sparkled, deeply doubting the truth of this statement.

"Of course it’s true. Don’t let your imagination run wild, just go back to your room and do your homework. School starts the day after tomorrow."

"I finished my homework yesterday."

Lingling pouted, ran to Lu Tianxing’s side, and looked up to ask: "Dad, are you going home after dinner?"

"Yes!"

Lu Tianxing nodded gently.

"I don’t want Dad to leave. I don’t want Dad to leave. Dad, can you stay with me tonight?"

Hearing this, Lingling became anxious immediately, clinging to Lu Tianxing’s arm and refusing to let go.

"Let go of your father, Lingling," Qiu Yingrong said softly.

"I won’t, I won’t let go. Why can other kids have their mom and dad live together, but I have to be apart? I won’t let Dad leave, I don’t want Dad to leave me."

Ever since Lu Tianxing had spent the entire day with her, Lingling had completely regarded him as her real father. Especially when Lu Tianxing played with her, Lingling felt an unprecedented joy; she didn’t want him to go.

A trace of melancholy crossed Qiu Yingrong’s face as she spoke softly: "Lingling, be a good girl. Listen, Dad already has Aunt Bai and Aunt Lin, so he needs to go home to be with them. Dad will come to see you when he has time, alright?"

"No, I won’t let Dad go. Why does Dad have to go back to be with those pretty aunts? Can’t those pretty aunts just stay with you and Dad?" Lingling pouted, loudly refuting.

Why not!

Qiu Yingrong’s body trembled slightly, a bitter smile appearing on her face. Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru had entrusted everything to Lu Tianxing, while she was a widow. Even if Lu Tianxing accepted her, would Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru accept her too?

If she stayed with Lu Tianxing, she feared she would endure many disdainful glances and malicious gossip.

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Yingrong sighed once again and said: "Lingling, Dad has already spent the whole day playing with you today. Dad needs to go home to rest now. If you keep holding onto him, Dad might not play with you again in the future."

Upon hearing Qiu Yingrong’s words, Lingling quickly turned her gaze to Lu Tianxing, her tone a bit urgent: "Dad, I won’t hold onto you anymore. Please go back and rest, okay? Don’t ever ignore me in the future, alright?"

Saying this, Lingling’s big, dark eyes welled up with tears, her small hands clinging to Lu Tianxing’s, looking very pitiful.
