Chapter 271: Welcome to Your Joining

Fu Sijue gave an approving nod; after this bout he completely realized that he truly isn't cut out for cooking.

Finally freed from Fu Sijue's Dark Cuisine, Xi Xi and Yao Yao smiled with satisfaction.

"Mom's cooking is so delicious!"

This time Lu Xixi praised sincerely, her little face filled with contentment.

Having her labor recognized, Lu Xiwán was very pleased, yet she still tapped the table.

"Xi Xi, don't blurt out the big truth."

Again scorned by Lu Xiwán, Fu Sijue remained expressionless; he had gradually grown used to taking hits.

Seeing Fu Sijue eat his humiliation, Lu Xiwán felt a quiet thrill.

"Then later you can teach me how to cook," Fu Sijue blurted out, and Lu Xiwán fell silent.

Zhong He, seeing the scene, also burst into laughter, but quickly hushed, "With your cooking skill, even a kitchen god arriving today would be no help!"

Xi Xi giggled uncontrollably.

It was exactly the picture of a harmonious family.

Fu Sijue's phone buzzed once, a message from Shen Shu.

Shen Shu: The fish is on the hook.

Fu Sijue's eyes darkened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

The subtle expression on his face did not escape Lu Xiwán's eyes; after the meal, Lu Xiwán also went out with Fu Sijue.

"Another Fu Zhuo matter?"

Fu Zhuo's recent petty actions have been frequent, making it hard not to suspect his motives.

"You go back first; Shen Shu and I will handle it properly."

"How many more things are you trying to hide from me?" Lu Xiwán this time did not back down, directly asking Fu Sijue.

"After everything ends, I'll give you an explanation; I won't lie to you."

Lu Xiwán didn't believe Fu Sijue at all, "You've deceived me more than once; what exactly happened at the company?"

Indeed, as he said, the trivial matter didn't require his personal involvement.

"Shen Shu hasn't told me yet; I'll go to the company now, and I'll inform you at once with any news."

Fu Sijue helplessly agreed to Lu Xiwán.

He has always been unable to outmaneuver Lu Xiwán.

"... I was too emotional just now, sorry..." They stared at each other, silent for a long while before Lu Xiwán finally spoke.

"In front of me you never need to apologize; you did nothing wrong," Fu Sijue suddenly recalled the past.

When Lu Xiwán was framed by Gu Qingmeng for a mistake, she also pitifully clutched his sleeve to apologize.

Just a glance makes one feel heartache.

Yet at that time he didn't notice the pain hidden in Lu Xiwán's heart.

Fu Sijue hesitantly reached out, patting her head as if comforting a child; the touch was unexpectedly soft.

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

He will sort everything out; this time he won't let anyone hurt the ones he cares about again.

In the restaurant.

Shen Shu watched Fu Zhuo opposite him warily.
