Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Worth Treating with Sincerity

Chen Jing had never thought that having a private car service was worth bragging about, but at this moment, she was very grateful to have one.

Chen Jing had made an effort to dress up today, not for Luo Yifan’s sake, nor to provoke him.

She just hoped that her older brother would see her in high spirits, even if he was still unwilling to acknowledge her, he could see that she was doing well.

She always believed that her older brother cared about her, hence why he wouldn’t want to see her, and why he continued to be angry with her.

As she expected, she was cold-shouldered again on the third day.

Prepared for a long battle, Chen Jing returned to the store with a calm expression around four in the afternoon.

Like her, Luo Yifan, who was also prepared for a long fight, arrived at the restaurant earlier than she did. Seeing her leave refreshed and return with a smile on her face, Luo Yifan tried to keep his composure.

When Chen Jing saw him, she seemed not at all surprised, nodded at him, and went straight into the office. She changed into some usual clothes and went into the kitchen.

Luo Yifan felt like he was watching a princess change from her glamorous attire into Cinderella, albeit using such a description for a woman in her forties seemed inappropriate.

However, when he saw her emerge in her plain clothes, all her brilliance retracted back to normalcy, such a thought did flash across his mind.

In the morning, Luo Yifan told Xiao Ya he needed to reserve the table for a long period because he had a lot of work-related matters to discuss with Chen Jing.

But everyone knew this was just an excuse.

Chen Jing and Luo Yifan were both well aware that after Chen Jing had prepared the new cuisine in front of him according to the method and steps listed, and he himself had confirmed that the taste was up to scratch, the content that needed to be discussed between them was basically over.

But Luo Yifan kept showing up. The meaning behind this was self-evident.

However, Chen Jing played dumb and gave no response.

Chen Jing rapidly reentered the kitchen to get busy, and Luo Yifan didn’t shamelessly follow her. Instead, he put his laptop on the table and began to concentrate on his own work.

As a bystander, Xiao Ya confessed that she was becoming increasingly confused by the two of them.

At the school’s dismissal time, the handsome lad fetched Xiao Lizi back, and Xiao Lizi sat face to face with Luo Yifan.

She knew nothing about the grudges and entanglements between adults. When Luo Yifan occasionally asked her a few questions, the little girl answered truthfully.

"Xiao Lizi, did your grandfather get discharged from the hospital?"

Xiao Lizi bit her straw, remained silent for a moment, and finally shook her head, "My mommy took my grandpa to a distant place for treatment, they might have to stay there for a while before they return."

In Xiao Lizi’s memory, this Grandpa Luo was kind and was always nice to her and baby boy.

Just like Grandpa Yan, so when he asked, she was honest in her answers.

Luo Yifan was surprised by this news. He reached out and gingerly patted her head, waiting for a while before asking another question.

"Then who is taking care of Xiao Lizi now?"

"I’m living at Aunt Ying Zi’s house..." Implicitly saying that she was being taken care of by the Yan family.

Luo Yifan seemed to see the shadow of an acquaintance in Bai Xiaolu, but he didn’t think too much about it, just believing it to be a coincidence.

Zhu Qianying, as usual, made her rounds at several jewelry stores today, confirming the progress of decorations in each store. It was just the right time to pick up baby boy after school.

"Mommy, we got a new classmate in class today."

The moment baby boy got into the car, his small backpack was thrown onto the seat. Before he could even settle down, he excitedly informed Zhu Qianying.

Zhu Qianying pinched his chubby cheek, "Bun student is so happy, is it because a bigger bun joined?"

Ever since the baby boy had put on some weight, his mother occasionally called him a little bun.

The rounded bun student climbed onto her lap, found the most comfortable position, and settled in her arms.

"Not at all, he is a monkey!"

It seemed that the young master was well aware of his own physique.

The mother and son went to the restaurant to pick up Xiao Lizi. Seeing Luo Yifan, who had disappeared for a few days, Zhu Qianying didn’t show any surprise.

Because her younger sister had called her in the morning, saying that Luo Yifan was making inquiries about their mother.

"What did he ask?"

A spark, which had been extinguished in the depths of Zhu Qianying’s heart, ignited once more.

"He asked about mom’s preferences, and also indirectly asked about mom’s past love life and current relationship status."

The two sisters had actually discussed whether or not to get their mother remarried.

So, at first, they were quite satisfied with Uncle Luo.

However, these past few days, it was clear that the two elders were at odds, because Luo Yifan stopped showing up, and their mother’s mood had been unusually depressed.

Of course, there were many reasons for their mother’s depression, such as the issues with her parents and Bai Xiangdong. However, Zhu Qianying and her sister still felt that Luo Yifan was a factor.

"What did you say?"

"I didn’t say anything. Interference in matters of love only makes things worse. I only said that she can chat with mom about food and how to make it delicious, I didn’t say anything else. If he wants to chase our mom, he’ll naturally have to put in some effort, there are no shortcuts."

Zhu Qianyu was naturally on her mother’s side.

"Moreover, our mom has never been treated kindly by Zhu Zhizhou, let alone been genuinely pursued. Although we are her daughters, we have no right to deprive her of the warmth and happiness of being pursued that she should enjoy as a woman. Sister, don’t you agree?"

Absolutely!

And the reason why Zhu Qianying had never interfered in this matter, nor allowed her super-helper son to interfere, was indirectly due to this mindset.

Now, seeing Luo Yifan, Zhu Qianying acted as if she knew nothing, and was as usual, greeted Luo Yifan with a smile.

"Uncle Luo, are you here again to discuss the exhibition with my mom?"

Luo Yifan nodded with a smile, "Yes, as the exhibition is getting closer, we need to hurry up."

The excuse Luo Yifan gave was certainly justifiable.

Zhu Qianying did not expose him, instead patted the heads of the two little guys, indicating for them to go and greet their grandmother first. Seeing the two little guys swiftly dart into the kitchen, she then turned back to Luo Yifan and said.

"My mother has little experience in competitions, Uncle Luo, you should really take more care of her. However, she is very disciplined and I am sure that from now until the start of the exhibition, she will be working hard to improve her skills, so you can rest assured."
