Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband

Chapter 206: Chapter 206 You Should Let Go of Your Prejudices

Getting quality time with Lin Xu was hard enough, so even if it meant accompanying the two of them shopping, Ji Tingyang still followed, acting as their ATM.

However, this time Lin Xu didn’t forget about Ji Tingyang; she took him to look around a men’s clothing store as well.

“This set looks pretty good.” Lin Xu picked up a casual outfit and compared it against Ji Tingyang’s body.

After looking for a while, she put it down and picked up a cool-toned gray suit to compare, “You always wear black suits, wouldn’t it be nice to change things up occasionally?”

Lin Xu thought for a bit, then put the suit back and picked up a black trench coat, “This is nice too, do you have any preference?”

But when she turned around, she saw Ji Tingyang pulling out his bank card and handing it to the clerk, grandiosely declaring, “Package all the clothes she just looked at.”

Well, having money means you can do what you want.

But Lin Xu blinked, “… Aren’t you going to try them on first to see how they look?”

Ji Tingyang looked serious, “Didn’t you say that I look good in anything?”

Which meant he didn’t even need to try them on.

From then on, whenever Lin Xu picked up a piece of clothing, Ji Tingyang would have the clerk package it, buying over a dozen items in one go.

He counted the clothes and only after noticing he had bought more than Ji Yuqiao, did he nod his head in satisfaction.

Noticing his little scheme, Ji Yuqiao whispered into Lin Xu’s ear, “Big brother is so childish.”

A tinge of helplessness colored the smile in Lin Xu’s eyes.

After buying clothes, they followed Ji Tingyang to the restaurant he had reserved for dinner.

Although the intended dinner for two turned into one with an added lightbulb of a sister, considering the number of clothes bought for her by their mother, it wasn’t unbearable.

But when the single lightbulb multiplied into three, cracks began to form on Ji Tingyang’s calm and composed demeanor.

“Ah, President Ji, Miss Lin, and the little sister are all here too, what a coincidence, we must be fated,” Su Linzhou greeted them cheerily as he approached, “You wouldn’t mind if we joined tables, right?”

Ji Tingyang’s expression suddenly darkened. He was about to speak, but a cheerful voice piped up before he could.

“Sure!”

Ji Tingyang and Xie Changyan looked over in surprise.

The one who answered wasn’t Lin Xu; it was instead Ji Yuqiao.

Ji Yuqiao, seeing her brother’s face about to drip with ink, chuckled awkwardly, “The more the merrier, right…”

She was also curious about what kind of person their father was.

With permission granted, Xie Changyan pulled out the chair next to Lin Xu and without a second thought, sat down beside her.

“How come every time I see you, you’re out eating with Su Linzhou? You two meet so often, you’re nearly catching up to me,” Lin Xu murmured.

Xie Changyan raised an eyebrow, “Isn’t that because a certain someone is busier than I am, despite being a president?”

It wasn’t like he hadn’t asked Lin Xu out before.

But every time, she claimed to be busy. Upon further questioning, it would either be because of Ji Tingyang or that she was accompanying Ji Yuqiao.

Lin Xu blinked innocently, “Who is this certain someone you are talking about?”

Xie Changyan chuckled, his gaze filled with interest, “What do you think?”

Their conversation hadn’t gone on for long when a teasing voice interrupted them.

“Why start flirting as soon as you meet? We’re not here to watch you display your affection; it’s making the food less appetizing,” Su Linzhou said, turning to Ji Yuqiao with a smile, “Right, little sister?”

However, Ji Yuqiao didn’t agree as he expected and instead gave him a cold stare.

Ji Yuqiao looked unhappy.

How annoying was this person, interrupting before her parents had even finished their conversation?

Hadn’t he seen the looks her parents were exchanging, nearly weaving silk between them, sweeter than the protagonists in the idol dramas she watched.

Ji Yuqiao held her cheeks in her hands, feeling a wave of excitement.

Su Linzhou inexplicably scratched his head.

Xie Changyan lifted his gaze and looked at Su Linzhou with a somewhat stern expression, “Has the Su Family been skimping on your meals? I’ll ask them about it another day.”

Su Linzhou shuddered in fear and said, “I’ll stop talking, you guys do as you please.”

After all the dishes were served, everyone started to eat.

Just as Lin Xu was about to pick up some food, a piece of steamed fish was placed in her bowl.

“The steamed fish here is really tasty, try it,” Xie Changyan said.

Before she had a chance to eat, a piece of Dongpo pork followed suit and landed in her bowl.

“The Dongpo pork here is delicious,” Ji Tingyang stated.

Lin Xu picked up the fish, but the next second she heard Ji Tingyang’s voice tinged with complaint, “Aren’t you going to try the Dongpo pork first?”

Her hand trembled, the fish fell from her chopsticks, and she quickly picked up the Dongpo pork.

“The fish won’t taste good once it gets cold; better try it first,” Xie Changyan’s voice floated over.

With two intense gazes fixed on her, Lin Xu was sweating and at a loss.

“I’ll eat both at the same time.” She picked up both the fish and the Dongpo pork and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing vigorously.

The next instant.

Ji Tingyang swiftly placed a piece of Three Cup Chicken into her bowl.

Xie Changyan’s chopsticks hadn’t yet extended when Lin Xu held his hand under the table, scratching the palm of his hand in a pleasing manner.

A hint of amusement crossed Xie Changyan’s eyes, and he finally stopped competing with Ji Tingyang in such a childish manner, gripping her hand instead.

Seeing Ji Tingyang giving Lin Xu so many choices, Ji Yuqiao pushed the bowl on the table forward and said, “Big brother, I want to eat the braised prawns in front of you.”

Without even looking, Ji Tingyang said, “Serve yourself.”

Ji Yuqiao: “…”

Stinky big brother!

He served mother so much; why couldn’t he give her even one shrimp.

Don’t be so obviously double-standard.

Just as Ji Yuqiao’s lips pouted and she was feeling downhearted, a braised prawn landed in her bowl.

Xie Changyan’s serving chopsticks were still in his hand, “What else would you like to eat?”

Ji Yuqiao’s eyes suddenly lit up, “I’d like to have some beef as well!”

Xie Changyan leisurely picked up a piece of beef for her.

Ji Yuqiao, happily eating the beef, had eyes curved like crescent moons.

In certain situations, a father figure is much better than a double-standard big brother.

Perhaps because she had allowed her fondness for Xie Changyan to show on her face, after dinner, Ji Tingyang pulled her aside for a scolding.

“Don’t allow yourself to like him, didn’t you see he’s trying to take our mother away?”

“But isn’t he our father?”

“He’s not; he’s just a substitute for our father,” Ji Tingyang couldn’t accept it as quickly as Ji Yuqiao had.

“Big brother, you should let go of your prejudice,” Ji Yuqiao earnestly advised.

Ji Tingyang: “…”

Ji Yuqiao patted his shoulder and, seeing Lin Xu walking away, hurried after her.

As she approached, she heard Su Linzhou proposing that everyone go to a bar to hang out.

Ji Yuqiao agreed with both hands, but she hadn’t anticipated that upon arriving at the bar, they would see Xiao Yu trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol.
