Chapter 228 - 228: Untitled
Li An’an prepared the dishes and brought them to the table. This was the first time the children were having a meal with their daddy.
Chu Yichen sat next to Li An’an. He scooped rice for the three children and pushed it in front of them. “You must eat well to grow taller.”
“Alright.” Li Baobao picked up her spoon and ate happily. Chu Yichen put a chicken drumstick in her bowl.
“Thank you Dad… Uncle!” Li Baobao quickly corrected herself and smiled at Chu Yichen. The food tasted better when she ate with Daddy.
Chu Yichen curled his lips. He didn’t like interacting with children, but he felt very strange now. He looked at the other two children.
“Hurry up and start eating!”
He also gave each of them a chicken drumstick.
Li Jùnjùn picked it up and brought it towards his face, it ended up knocking against his mask.
He could not eat. He looked at his mommy for help. What should he do? He could not eat with a mask on.
Li An’an got nervous. She was done for. She hadn’t thought of this.
“Mommy, I’ll take Little Brother to change his mask”
Li Junjun took his brother’s hand and ran into the bedroom. When he came out, his mouth was exposed.
Chu Yichen put a piece of cucumber into his mouth and looked at the two children’s exposed chins and mouths. There was a strange sense of familiarity, but he could tell that the two children must be handsome. These three children had good genes, so he was curious about their parents.
Li An’an tried her best to eat, hoping that Chu Yichen would leave as soon as possible. However, Chu Yichen ate very slowly, as if he was enjoying his meal.
It seemed like he liked Baobao more and kept putting food into the child’s bowl. Baobao was so proud that her chin was raised to the sky.
Li An’an didn’t understand this. It felt as though Chu Yichen was very familiar with Baobao and they got along very naturally. Was she overthinking it?
Li Jùnjùn pouted unhappily and thought to himself that being a man, he shouldn’t be calculative with his Little Sister, but it was so annoying. His daddy seemed to like Little Sister more.
Chu Yichen could sense the disappointment of the other two kids. He put down his chopsticks after dinner and patted their heads.
Li Jùnjùn’s expression immediately became unnatural and he almost choked. However, he tried his best to hold it in and pretend not to care. Still, he couldn’t help looking smug.
Junjun started eating faster. It was as if the three children were competing to win his favor.
Li An’an was conflicted. Should she ask Chu Yichen to stay a little longer or chase him away? Chu Yichen was like a dangerous bomb here, but the children seemed to like him very much. Although they didn’t say it, she could feel it. In the kitchen, Li An’an sighed. She had no idea how to resolve the current situation.
Chu Yichen and the three children sat on the sofa. Li Baobao held out a small book and asked him to tell a story. Jùnjùn and Junjun sat obediently by the side listening.
Li An’an quietly hid in the kitchen, cutting fruits. Forget it, she might as well stay a little longer.
Chu Yichen flipped through the childish storybook and slowly told the story of the three little pigs in a low voice. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Unlike the coldness he projected in the office, he deliberately made himself look gentle and approachable to avoid scaring the three children.
This was a rare moment of leisure for him. If someone had said before that he would patiently tell stories to the three little fellows, no one would have believed him. But now, that was what he was doing.
The three children listened attentively. Actually, they already knew the story of the three little pigs by heart. Their mommy had read it to them since they were young, but they still found it very refreshing. Daddy’s voice was low when he told the stories, and they felt very safe with him. He was different from their mommy..
