Yuting Mansion.

Lu Youting came downstairs to find Jian Si and Lu Yanbai sitting at the breakfast table, which was set with an assortment of sweets and several small dishes.

Although the small dishes were incredibly simple, they somehow made one’s appetite surge.

Lu Yanbai was joyfully gobbling down pumpkin porridge, alternating with sweets and dishes, and when he saw Lu Youting coming down, he excitedly waved him over, “Daddy, come quickly and taste the double-skin milk and Tiramisu Mommy and I made.”

“Cough cough…” Lu Youting gave an awkward cough and loosened his tie to relieve the inexplicable feeling of guilt in his heart.

Jian Si glanced at him indifferently and pouted, “Your Daddy already had breakfast and isn’t hungry now.”

Lu Youting: “…??”

Lu Yanbai didn’t think anything of it and naively asked, “Daddy, when did you have breakfast?

Why didn’t you have it with us?

What did you eat?”

“Umm…” Just as Lu Youting was trying to find the words, he heard Jian Si say, “Your Daddy had a breakfast that you can’t eat!”

Lu Yanbai blinked his innocent big eyes, looking at Lu Youting as if he only partially understood.

Lu Youting didn’t want Jian Si to misunderstand and instinctively wanted to explain, “Things aren’t what you saw!

She rushed over suddenly, and I hadn’t even reacted before you came in through the door.

It’s all a misunderstanding!”

Jian Si snorted in contempt, “You are engaged, and whatever you do is proper and aboveboard!

There’s no need to explain to an outsider like me…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she caught sight of Lu Yanbai’s little face growing dimmer out of the corner of her eye and cursed herself for making a blunder.

She hurriedly put on a smile and changed the subject, “It’s all in the past, let it go!

We are a family; we should love each other, and I don’t blame you.”

Lu Youting cast a glance at Lu Yanbai without a change of expression, hooked up the corners of his mouth, and deliberately said, “Right!

We are a family and should love each other.”

He stressed the words “a family” as he spoke.

Jian Si silently gritted her teeth and forced a smile that looked uglier than crying.

If looks could kill, Lu Youting would have already been shot through with a thousand arrows.

Seeing her furious little figure, Lu Youting shrugged off the gloom and majestically took his place at the head of the table, where Sister Xiang immediately served him toast and milk.

The breakfast, which never varied from day to day, did nothing to pique his appetite, so he went personally to the kitchen and ladled out a bowl of pumpkin porridge.

Jian Si glared hatefully at the pumpkin porridge in his hands, her eyes full of warning.

Lu Youting knew that Jian Si didn’t want him to eat her cooking, but due to the rules they had set the night before, she couldn’t outright stop him, so with a wicked smirk, he leisurely took a sip.

The taste was sweet, and the texture smooth, soothing his throat wonderfully.

The deliciousness of the pumpkin porridge made Lu Youting enjoy it so much that he closed his eyes to savor the taste.

How did Jian Si manage, with her ordinary hands, to make such delicious food?

After tasting the pumpkin porridge, Lu Youting’s chopsticks boldly moved towards the small dishes on the table.

These were the dishes he had ‘long coveted,’ and today he could finally taste them.

Upon tasting the dish, his eyes widened in surprise.

It was really delicious.

Even though the ingredients were the same as what five-star chefs used, the taste was completely different.

He, who normally had a small appetite, unprecedentedly ate three bowls of pumpkin porridge and even couldn’t resist eating two pieces of the sweets he never touched.

Watching him devour the breakfast she had painstakingly made, Jian Si’s gaze was as murderous as could be.

Lu Yanbai, with a smile beaming on his face, asked, “Daddy, is it really that tasty?”

Lu Youting ignored Jian Si’s look, his thin lips lifting slightly, “Mmm!

It really is tasty.

Let Mommy make extra tomorrow, because Daddy didn’t eat enough.”

After three bowls, still not full, just don’t burst.

Jian Si suppressed her anger and cursed inwardly.

Lu Youting added, “There’s a new product launch at Lu Group today, so I can’t accompany you to the hospital!

Take good care of Xiao Bai, and call me anytime if there’s any issue.”

Jian Si didn’t respond to him.

He knew Jian Si had heard him, so he didn’t say anything more, wiped his mouth, and walked away, satisfied.

After breakfast, Jian Si drove Lu Yanbai to the hospital.

The long-awaited new product launch had finally arrived, and Jian Sichen and Jian Yue, wanting to avenge Jian Si, convinced Su Wan to take time off from kindergarten.

Su Wan, who had long been indignant about Lu Youting’s abandonment of Jian Si, saw their desire for revenge on the scoundrel and agreed to their request without hesitation, actively cooperating.

The launch event was scheduled to take place on the third floor of the Jiangcheng Hotel.

Early on, the staff arrived to set up the venue, and all the news media in Jiangcheng were there.

At nine o’clock, the press conference started on time.

Lu Youting sat in the center, introducing the new IC chip developed by Lu Group, as the big screen behind him showed the chip’s functions and the development process.

Lu Group was the only company from Country Z to enter the global top ten in chip development.

And since Lu Youting had taken charge, they had successfully surpassed several foreign enterprises, firmly occupying the top spot for three years, giving the underperforming national enterprises a reason to hold their heads high.

Everyone had very high hopes for this new chip developed by Lu Family.

The press conference went smoothly and was gradually coming to an end.

The audience gave unanimously high praise.

Meanwhile, Su Wan, along with Jian Sichen and Jian Yue, quietly rented a room in a small hotel next door.

Jian Sichen looked at Jian Yue, “Are you ready?”

Jian Yue nodded, “I’m ready!”

Jian Sichen asked with concern, “Are you scared?

If you’re scared, we can change our strategy.”

Jian Yue shook her head firmly, “I’m not scared!”

More importantly, she wanted to see her scumbag father.

She hated him, yet she wanted to see him too.

Jian Sichen said, “Alright, then let’s proceed with the original plan!”

“Okay!” Jian Yue nodded, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement of seeing her biological father, slung her little white rabbit backpack over her shoulders, and walked out with the spine of a soldier marching to their death.

The press conference was still underway.

Lu Youting was receiving interviews from journalists.

After the interviews about the chip were completed, a nosy journalist inappropriately shifted the topic to personal matters.

“Director Lu, you and Miss Ye have been engaged for five years now, when can we expect to enjoy the wedding candy between you and Miss Ye?”

“Director Lu is young and talented, while Miss Ye is the youngest associate professor of cardiology.

You two are like a match made in heaven with your combined talents and beauty.”

Lu Youting’s usually warm eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked down to hide the coldness in his eyes.

“Today is the Lu Family’s new chip launch event.

Let’s only talk about business, not private matters.”

Feeling the pressure he exerted, everyone immediately fell silent, smiling awkwardly and ready to steer the conversation back to the chip.

Just then, a little girl suddenly burst into the room.

The little girl looked to be about four years old, with a bun hairstyle, chubby little cheeks, skin so delicate it seemed like it could break with a poke, and under faint eyebrows, she had a pair of round, sparkling eyes that shone like stars, as exquisite as a doll.

Lu Youting’s pupils contracted sharply at the sight of the little girl who had rushed out.

He vaguely felt that her features were familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall where in that moment.
