The Family Dinner

The appearance of Ji En and Ji Minze attracted the attention of the pedestrians. Their natural noble demeanor was inherently attractive, and the fact that they were a tall and a short super handsome pair made them even more of a focal point. Moreover, Ji En's indifference and his son's sunny smile formed a sharp contrast, like a warm sun in winter, extremely eye-catching.

Ji Aier reserved a table in the Hunanese restaurant.

"Wait a moment. You can have lunch with us," Ji Aier said to Lin Lan.

"No, thank you, Missus," Lin Lan still declined. He understood his position, but Ji Aier's words made him feel touched because he could tell that Ji Aier wasn't just being polite.

"You don't have to be so formal, and you don't have to treat me as the Missus. We're not in a master-servant relationship," Ji Aier still insisted.

"Really, no need. Thank you for your kindness, Missus. The master and the young master are here. I'll go out now," Lin Lan said to Ji Aier, then left the private room.

Ji Aier saw her son and the person she didn't welcome.

"Mommy!" Ji Minze happily called out when he saw Ji Aier.

"Minze, you must be hungry. What do you like to eat? Order whatever you want," Ji Aier let her son sit beside her and handed him the menu. His current height and weight made it difficult for her to pick him up easily even if she wanted to.

"Braised Fish Head with Chopped Chili, Changsha Sesame and Crispy Duck, Steamed Spare Ribs with Zongzi Flavor, Mushroom Egg without Yolk," Ji Minze ordered several of his favorite dishes and didn't forget to let his mommy and daddy choose. "Now it's Daddy and Mommy's turn to order!"

"Mommy likes whatever Minze likes," Ji Aier hugged her son's shoulder and said.

"Syrup-Coated Lotus Seeds in Hunan Style, Corn and Green Bean Soup, Steamed Garlic-Flavored King Prawns, Stir-Fried Assorted Vegetables..." Ji En ordered a few more dishes, all of which were Ji Aier's favorite dishes in the past.

"That's enough for now. Thank you!" Ji Aier quickly interrupted Ji En. She remembered the scene when Ji En ordered ice cream before.

Ji En didn't say anything more and handed the menu back to the waiter.

At this moment, Ji Aier saw that there were deep and shallow, red and purple bruises on Ji Minze's arm where he had rolled up his sleeve, which looked like marks from being tied up.

"Minze, what happened to your hand?" Ji Aier raised Ji Minze's arm and asked. Could it be that he had been punished physically in the Ji family?

"That auntie and I were playing the game of cops and robbers, and it got like this. It doesn't hurt anymore," Ji Minze actually said with a smile, which made Ji Aier's heart ache as if it were being cut.

"Which auntie?" Ji Aier looked up at Ji En. He had to give her a convincing reason. Otherwise, she should consider taking Minze away from the Ji family as far as possible.

"This is why I agreed to marry Ouyang Xue first. She kidnapped Minze and threatened me," Ji En reached out and stroked his son's head. His son was smart enough. Otherwise, it might have taken Xiao Yu more time and effort to find him and successfully obtain the evidence of Ouyang Xue kidnapping Minze.

Ji Aier felt scared. She almost lost her son. The Ji family was really as terrifying as hell to her. There were hidden dangers and ambushes everywhere. No matter how careful she was, she couldn't defend against other people's schemes. She didn't know if similar things would happen again.

"This kind of thing won't happen again in the future," Ji En said calmly. No matter where Ji Aier and Ji Minze went, there would be private bodyguards secretly protecting them. Ji Aier definitely couldn't tell that Lin Lan was a black belt master and a marksman, and he was hired by Ji En with a high salary to protect Ji Aier. Ji Minze also had a private bodyguard.

"I can't believe you," If she had known that so many things would happen, she would never have brought Minze and Qianhe back to this city. Now she had lost Qianhe and almost lost Minze.

"Mommy, we can start eating now!" Ji Minze looked at the braised fish head that was served and said excitedly. He didn't like to see his daddy and mommy arguing, so he would try his best to help his daddy win back his mommy.

"Eat up. Be careful of the spiciness," Seeing her son, Ji Aier had to put her concerns aside for now. She picked up a large piece of fish head and put it in her son's bowl. She knew her son liked spicy food, but she was still worried that he might choke.
