Teacher Tan also looked over, her expression no different from usual: “You’re in a hurry. Go wash your hands and eat.” With that, she went to the kitchen.

...

Jin Nian walked to the sofa and frowned at Lu An. She lowered her voice and asked: “What did you call my mom just now?”

“Mom.”

“Are you crazy? You have a wish to be beaten?”

“Jin Nian, are you being unreasonable? Your mother has been asking me to call her that since she was young. Have you forgotten?”

“Lu An!” Jin Nian gritted her teeth: “Why did you follow me?”

“Who is following you? Mom called me to come over for dinner.”

“Why did she call you for no reason?”

“Maybe she misses her sweet and handsome son.”

“Go away. What son?”

“A son-in-law is half a son.”

Jin Nian was trembling with fear. She sat beside Lu An and secretly pinched him: “Did you complain to my mom?”

Lu An unhurriedly forked a piece of mango into his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jin Nian: “Complain? About what?”

Jin Nian had just squeezed out of the crowd on the subway. She looked tired. Lu An had wanted to scare her, but seeing how nervous and pitiful she was, he could not bear it. “Don’t be afraid. I didn’t say anything.”

Lu An had only been here for five minutes. He had just chatted with Teacher Tan for a while when he was pulled to eat a plate of fruit. On the phone, Teacher Tan complained that he had grown up and was treating her like an outsider. He had been back for so long, but he still did not come over for a meal. Lu An had long wanted to come, so he naturally agreed readily.

“You’re not lying to me?” Jin Nian’s worried heart relaxed.

“Why would I lie to you?”

“That’s good.”

Lu An’s temperament was noble. A plate of ordinary fruit slices looked quite extravagant in his hands. Jin Nian had been on the subway for nearly an hour and was already famished. Seeing that he was eating so happily, she also took a fork and put it into her mouth.

The dining table was not big, and the two of them sat opposite each other. When they raised their heads, their eyes would meet, and if they were not careful, their feet would touch as well. Jin Nian did not deliberately avoid suspicion and even pretended to be friendly: “Busy man, how have you been overseas these past few years?”

Teacher Tan came out of the kitchen with the dishes and heard this. She glanced at Jin Nian but did not expose her. Lu An, who was sitting opposite her, had a mocking expression on his face. His tone of reply was also sloppy: “It’s just so-so. I always feel like I’m missing something without you.”

“I didn’t expect you to miss me so much.” Jin Nian smiled.

“Yeah, after all, there aren’t many people in the world like you who can annoy people so much.”

“What are you saying? When did I annoy you?”

“Too many times. You want me to list them out for you?”

“No need. I don’t want to hear it.”

When Jin Chengwen came out with the last bowl of soup, he saw the two of them bickering. It was still the same as when they were young. Neither of them would say a word. It was rare to see someone at home. Jin Chengwen took out the yellow wine that he had treasured for a long time and smiled at Lu An seductively: “Want to drink with Uncle?”

Before Lu An could say anything, Jin Nian rejected him first: “Dad, he just came back and you’re forcing him to drink?”

“You’re not allowed to drink with my dad!” she threatened Lu An.

Teacher Tan also came out after cleaning up the kitchen. Seeing Jin Chengwen urging him to drink at the dining table, her face darkened: “Drink, drink, drink. You’re happier seeing wine every day than seeing your wife! I don’t know what’s so good about this thing. Every time you drink it, you won’t stop talking.”

Jin Chengwen smiled at her fawningly. “It’s because I’m happy that Lu An is back. I definitely won’t drink too much!”

Tan Siyun rolled her eyes at him: “Up to you. If you drink too much, don’t complain that you either have a headache or a pain in your butt. Nobody cares about you!”

Jin Chengwen still poured a glass for Lu An. However, the man’s words about not drinking more would never count. If he did not get drunk tonight, he would be letting down the table full of good dishes. The wine glass was placed in front of Lu An, and he subconsciously looked at Jin Nian. Jin Nian avoided his gaze and ignored him. In Lu An’s eyes, this action meant agreement. He picked up his wine glass and took the initiative to toast Old Jin.

Jin Chengwen liked to drink with Lu An very much. The two of them were more than thirty years apart in age, but every time they drank, they had endless things to talk about.

“Slow down, don’t drink too much.”

“That’s enough. Stop drinking.”

Jin Nian and Teacher Tan spoke at the same time. Teacher Tan subconsciously glanced at Jin Nian, but Jin Nian did not notice her gaze. She was warning Lu An with her eyes.

Jin Nian hated drunk men the most, and Lu An was no exception. Although he would not do anything unreasonable after drinking too much, he was very clingy, just like a puppy. It was so annoying. However, she was too embarrassed to say too much. After a warning look, she began to focus on the cola chicken wings in front of her and ate happily..
