Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 289 - 282: Grim-faced
The sudden appearance of Leng Yichen made the atmosphere heavy instantly, and everyone’s expressions changed. Xu Juan looked at Leng Yichen in shock, her body becoming somewhat stiff, her mouth still forming the final syllable of what she had just said.
The previous conversation must have been all heard by Leng Yichen...
Yu Bin, who had been domineering moments ago, immediately changed his demeanor when he saw Leng Yichen, lowering his head and not daring to look him directly in the eye.
Watching Yu Bin’s cowardly demeanor, Xiao Mei furrowed her brows. Xiao Mei’s parents internally denounced Yu Bin once again; how could such a man with no sense of responsibility be fit to marry their daughter?
"Why are you back?" Bai Yiran stood up and walked to Leng Yichen’s side, "Have you eaten yet? I thought you wouldn’t be back for dinner, so we didn’t wait for you."
"Daddy!" Xiao Lang wiggled his little legs to get down from the highchair, quickly ran over, and jumped into Leng Yichen’s arms.
Leng Yichen bent down and picked up Xiao Lang.
"Daddy, make these people leave! They were bullying mommy just now! And even Aunt Liu!" Xiao Lang, speaking with a thick babyish accent, sounded both fierce and endearing.
Leng Yichen cast a cold glance at the people at the dining table and then asked Bai Yiran beside him, "Have you eaten enough?"
Bai Yiran smiled bitterly; she hadn’t really eaten much. First, she took care of Xiao Lang’s meal, and then Yu Bin and Xu Juan started giving her a hard time, leaving her with no time to eat.
"We’re going out to eat." With that, Leng Yichen set Xiao Lang down and gently said, "Are you full yet? Daddy and mommy are going out to eat. Do you want to come along, or stay here and play with Aunt Liu?"
Sister Liu’s child had been enrolled in a private boarding school by Leng Yichen, so ever since Xiao Lang came, Sister Liu stayed here permanently, only going home on weekends or holidays. After all, Bai Yiran really didn’t have much experience with taking care of a child.
"I want to play with Aunt Liu!" Xiao Lang said with a cheeky grin.
"Alright." Leng Yichen ruffled Xiao Lang’s hair and softly said to Bai Yiran, "Go change your clothes, and we’ll go out to eat."
Bai Yiran glanced at the table filled with dishes and obediently went to change clothes.
The faces around the dining table grew sullen; Leng Yichen was clearly trying to embarrass them. Such a lavish spread on the table, and yet Leng Yichen chose to take Bai Yiran out to eat, making it obvious he didn’t want to share a meal with them!
Xiao Mei felt uncomfortable, knowing they were being disliked by Leng Yichen, and bit her lip, softly saying, "Brother, there’s food at home, let’s eat together."
After speaking, Xiao Mei expectantly looked at Leng Yichen, hoping to get a response from him. But Leng Yichen took out his phone and made a call, not even glancing at Xiao Mei, as if he hadn’t heard her.
"Reserve a table, my wife and I will be there in thirty minutes."
Leng Yichen’s attitude made Xiao Mei feel embarrassed, biting her lip with eyes full of grievance, her slender fingers tapping on the dining table, feeling a bit at a loss.
Yu Bin couldn’t stand seeing Xiao Mei like this, so he mustered courage and said to Leng Yichen, "Brother, Xiao Mei is talking to you!"
Leng Yichen looked over with a cold gaze, making Yu Bin swallow hard, but he still said, "There’s food at home, why not eat at home! Instead, taking sister-in-law out! Why don’t you take us all out too! I think you’re spoiling her too much, she’s gotten out of control, and today Xiao Mei’s stomachache got her into the hospital..."
Xiao Mei, seeing that Yu Bin was dragging Bai Yiran and herself into the conversation again, hurriedly reached out to pull Yu Bin, trying to stop him from talking further because Leng Yichen’s face was getting darker and darker.
