But today he was very quiet from the moment he got in the car.
When Lin Chu reached for water, she saw something ’weird’ in the storage box - lollipops.
It’s not that there’s anything wrong with lollipops, but Lin Chu found it odd because this was Lu Huai’an’s car.
She took one out and asked with amusement, "Why do you have this in your car?"
Lu Huai’an answered with a normal expression, "I bought it."
Lin Chu, "..."
If it wasn’t bought, could it have been stolen?
Is that what she meant?
Forget it, she wasn’t really interested in knowing anyway.
There were all kinds of flavors except strawberry, as both Lin Chu and Qi Ming were allergic to strawberries.
Lin Chu picked one for Qi Ming and handed it to the back seat.
Qi Ming held the lollipop but didn’t eat it. He asked her, "Mom, will it make my teeth hurt?" fгeewebnovёl.com
"You can have one, and drink plenty of water after," Lin Chu smiled and reached out to give her son’s nose a playful pinch. Then she took one for herself, "If it does hurt, I’ll hurt together with you."
Just like no child dislikes ice cream, the allure of lollipops is also very strong.
The reason Lu Huai’an’s car had these things so mismatched with his entire persona was because of Lun Jun.
He could accurately grasp the strategies and styles of commercial rivals, yet he knew nothing about children’s preferences.
Apart from toys, he knew nothing.
The new products released every quarter by the most popular toy company were delivered to the Riverfront Apartment, almost filling the toy room, but Qi Ming never touched them.
Lu Huai’an had never tried to please anyone, and in fact, those words didn’t even exist in his life.
Yet he tasted defeat through a five-year-old child.
When he saw the tiny sparkle in Qi Ming’s eyes from the sweet lollipop, Lu Huai’an’s lips slightly curled.
...
An City was filled with luxury cars, so when Lu Huai’an parked at the kindergarten’s entrance, it didn’t cause the kind of commotion seen only in brainless idol dramas.
That was until they sent Qi Ming into the campus.
A chubby kid followed by several ’followers’ looked up suspiciously at Lu Huai’an and asked Qi Ming, "Is that your dad?"
These were all Qi Ming’s classmates.
Before this, even if Lin Chu hadn’t been sent to the detention center by Lu Zhengmao, she would send Qi Ming to school, but more often, the one playing this role was Lun Jun.
Parents from wealthy families were very busy; not personally escorting their children was normal. However, those with a sense of responsibility wouldn’t miss the year-end parent meeting.
Ever since Qi Ming transferred to An City, his classmates hadn’t seen his father.
They secretly mocked him more than once.
Faced with the chubby kid’s questioning, Qi Ming obediently let Lin Chu hold his hand, staying silent.
The chubby kid wore an expression that seemed to see through everything, crossed his arms, and gazed at Qi Ming with disdain.
"Hmph! Obviously not. No wonder you’re not participating in next week’s sports day; without parents, you don’t even qualify to sign up."
Lin Chu’s heart hurt somewhat.
She was never the type to stand and be bullied, even if the opponent was just a little brat.
She hadn’t had the chance to ’discipline’ the chubby kid when Qi Ming, who was originally holding her hand, was suddenly scooped up by Lu Huai’an.
Lu Huai’an held Qi Ming in one arm, his other hand holding Lin Chu’s warm hand, striding toward the classroom.
Leaving behind the astonished chubby kid and his followers.
The tall and imposing man holding a child, while still holding a beautiful woman’s hand, really seemed like a happy and perfect family.
"When is the sports day?"
Being held with one arm, Qi Ming always felt like he might fall, so he somewhat awkwardly hugged Lu Huai’an’s neck.
After a while, he softly replied, "Friday."
If he didn’t care, he wouldn’t remember the date so clearly.
Lin Chu was being passively led forward in a mechanical state, not looking at the road but fixating her gaze on the man’s sharply defined side profile.
Just indifferent, without any emotion that could be traced.
Climbing the final step, Lu Huai’an put Qi Ming down and let him stand properly. freewёbnoνel.com
In a deep voice, he said, "If any classmates bully you again, just return it as is. No matter the consequences, I’ll cover for you."
Qi Ming looked up, staring at Lu Huai’an without blinking.
"If I get into fights with them, will you scold me?"
If you disregard his reserved nature and calm tone, pulling this phrase out in isolation, it naturally sounds like a provocation.
