The seafood feast was already served on the table. Qiao Mu did not care that everyone was not there yet. She chewed on the crab while waiting for Su Chen and Lu Jingzhi to bring Chi Xia and Baby Guan back.
Ling Xi, who was standing at the side, appeared bored. Qiao Mu teased him, â Young Master Ling, do you think that itâs very embarrassing to not have a woman at this time? â
Ling Xi hadnât even started eating yet, but he was already full from anger.
Ling Xi raised his hands in surrender and looked at Li Yan pleadingly. â Big Brother, can you control your husband? Is it embarrassing that he doesnât have a woman? â This means that Iâm chaste!â
Li Yan did not think much of it. He helped Qiao Mu open the crabâs shell while throwing an indifferent sentence at Ling Xi, ââYouâre not young anymore. You should indeed find a woman. Uncle and Auntie werenât in a hurry in the past because we were both single. Now that the people around us have partners, youâre the only one whoâs single. If youâre not in a hurry, theyâll be anxious too.â
Ling Xi was speechless.
Was this what his big brother said?
Since when did this man like to poke his nose into family matters!
Was she forcing him to get married?
Ling Xi felt that he couldnât eat this meal anymore.
At this moment, the door of the private room opened. Someone entered and finally broke the deadlock.
Su Chen and Chi Xia came in. Su Chen sat down expressionlessly, while Chi Xia followed behind him with her head lowered. She secretly glared at Qiao Mu, annoyed that she didnât tell them that Su Chen was also having dinner with them today.
Qiao Mu lowered her head and nibbled on the crab. She pretended not to notice Chi Xiaâs gaze and asked with concern, âXiaxia, are you alright? â
âIâm fine. Itâs my baby who got into a fight.â
Chi Xia saw that there were three empty seats left and could only sit beside Su Chen. The remaining two seats were left for Lu Jingzhi and Baby Guan.
As he spoke, Lu Jingzhi dragged Baby Guan into the house. Baby Guan looked unconvinced and grunted in displeasure.
âBaby, are you hurt?â Qiao Mu hurriedly asked.
Baby Guan raised her chin and said shamelessly, ââIâm fine. Itâs just two hooligans. I took care of them in a few moves!â
Chi Xia was speechless. Could she just watch from the side? He really lied without blinking.
Chi Xia was too embarrassed to expose Baby Guan. Lu Jingzhi, who was standing beside her, did not give her any face. He sneered, â If I donât go over, I donât know who will be the one to settle who. How dare you talk big! â
Baby Guan blushed and glared at Lu Jingzhi. She gritted her teeth and said, ââI want to show off my martial arts to Mu Mu. Can you keep your mouth shut?â
Qiao Mu was speechless.
No wonder Lu Jingzhi was angry. It turned out that Baby Guan had been bullied.
Qiao Mu peeled the prawns as she watched the commotion, and she accidentally pricked her finger with the prawnâs head, causing her to groan in pain.
âWhatâs wrong?â Li Yan frowned. He held Qiao Muâs hand and sized it up before putting her finger into his mouth and sucking.
This action stunned Qiao Mu. She felt a warm sensation on her finger, and that touch directly invaded her heart, causing her to suddenly blush.
She quickly pulled her hand back and glared at him with a red face. â Iâm fine. Itâs just a prick. â
This was in front of others. Could he pay attention to his actions?
It didnât matter if he was thick-skinned, but she would be shy, okay?
â Mu Mu, do you know if there are any other rich and handsome men like him around Young Master Li? â Baobei Guan said faintly. â Can you introduce one to me? â
Qiao Mu nodded. â Yes. â
