28 I have nothing to do with her

Lu Yao was not in the mood to thank him and was lazy to argue with him. She waived for the waiter to come over and clean up the cake. She picked up another piece and was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist and took the cake away.

"What are you doing?" She frowned at him.

Shao Yunchen put the cake down and then handed a cup of soup to her. He said, "Pregnant women should eat less of this stuff. Don't you have any common sense?"

"…"

Lu Yao's brows twitched and stared at him strangely for a few seconds. She said mockingly, "Mr. Shao, have you had a baby? You actually know about that."

The stain of cake on his clothes was still there, but it didn't affect his demeanor in the slightest. His face was still as good-looking as before, making people jealous.

However, why did he care so much? Of course, she knew she shouldn't eat too much, but what if she occasionally craved for it? Why didn't he take care of her before their divorce?

Shao Yunchen didn't argue with her. He carried the soup in one hand and took her directly to the dining table with the other hand. He didn't give her the chance to refuse.

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Lu Yao was stupefied for a moment. She struggled with her all might but was unable to break free. Because there were too many people around, she didn't want to make a scene. She could only be led away by him. She didn't forget to turn her head to look at Tiantian.

They walk to the dining table. Shao Yunchen let go of her hand and put down the soup. He said expressionlessly, "Do you want to drink it yourself, or do you want me to feed it to you?"

"…"

Lu Yao's pretty face changed from white to red, and then to black. She stared at him with wide eyes and gritted her teeth, "Shao Yunchen, what are you trying to do? I've never seen you do this before."

Hearing her mention the past, Shao Yunchen's eyes dimmed. "Because you always listen in the past, you're very obedient."

He said it intentionally. Of course, he knew that it was only for her image, or that she deliberately acted on her own. He didn't know and didn't even think of knowing her before.

She rarely did things he didn't like, like smoking and drinking. After several days of getting divorced, he had begun to understand that she had always been accommodating to him. Even when she's at works when he returns to their home once a week, she would go home first and get everything prepared.

He couldn't understand that she likes him.

But the divorce was her own initiative, and this topic was unnecessary to ask again.

Lu Yao looked at him as the expression on her face slowly faded. Her gaze gradually turned derisive. After a long while, she lowered her eyes and curled her lips. "Indeed, I'm very obedient and haven't trouble you."

Holding Tiantian on her lap, she lowered her head and said coldly, "Please do not disturb my meal."

Why is she so disobedient? She loved him so much.

They signed a four-year marriage agreement. In the last three years, she practically counted her days. The feeling of suffering every day was something he would never be able to experience.

She lowered her head and fed Tiantian without looking at his expression. It was only after a minute before he heard him leaving.

But not long after, she raised her head and saw Shao Yunchen sitting back down with a bowl of rice. Her expression instantly changed. "How come I didn't realize that you were so persistent before?"

Shao Yunchen smiled softly, "I didn't realize before that you're covered with thorns. It's just a meal between us, nothing more, yet you look at me like that."

"Do you have to sit in front of me in so many places?"

Shao Yunchen glanced into the distance and said lightly, "I want to have some peace and quiet."

Lu Yao subconsciously looked towards where he was looking at. Fu Xuezi was looking around with a tray as if she was looking for something.

She immediately understood and curled her lips, "I also want to have some peace and quiet. Still, she is your assistant. Even if you set aside work, Don't all men like that kind of thing…"

She paused and organized her words before she said in a playful tone. "A woman with a big chest and no brains? It should be useful you take it to socialize."

She suddenly recalled the footage from the cruise ship, and she sneered in her heart.

She had really thought that Fu Xuezi was a young miss who was cultured, talented, and well-coordinated. At the time when she was thrown a cheque, she felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority. However, she was despised by a prostitute.

Shao Yunchen frowned. He didn't like her tone of voice. He said in a low deep voice, "I have nothing to do with her. I let her be my assistant because she works very hard. As the boss, I won't deny my assistant's ability."

"…"

Lu Yao was stunned.

Is he really explaining things to her?

Immediately, may complex emotion welled up in her heart.

Before the divorce, she would definitely believe those words. After all, any woman who fell in love was a fool, but now… she didn't know whether she should believe him or not.

When she came back to her senses, she lowered her head and coughed before forcefully ending the conversation. "What does it have to do with me? And, don't talk about this nonsense in front of a child."

"…"

Shao Yunchen was a bit depressed. She was the one who brought it up, right?

Seeing her proficient action of feeding the child, the gloom in his heart grew deeper. He asked in a muffled voice, "Do you really like children?"

"Why would I give birth to a child if I don't like it?" she replied quickly. Her tone was casual, but only she knew how much sarcasm was there.

Shao Yunchen stopped asking.

Not long after, Fu Xuezi saw them and walked over. Her expression was a little ugly. "Ms. Lu is here as well."

Lu Yao ignored her.

The two of them had already fallen out after the cheque issue, there was no need to continue being so hypocritical. She was not in the mood to continue being hypocritical with her.

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Fu Xuezi's face. She gritted her teeth in hatred and glanced at the child in her arms. She suddenly whispered, "Wow, what a cute child." She exclaimed. She touched Tiantian's face with her hand that has bright red nail polish.

Lu Yao's eyes turned cold. She suddenly carried Tiantian and stood up, then said to Shao Yunchen indifferently, "Thank you for last night and for today. I'm full and I have things to do."

With that, she left without looking at the woman.

Fu Xuezi was instantly angered to the point that her face turned ashen, but she didn't dare to show it. She only put an innocent and wrongly accused looking expression at Shao Yunchen, "Mr. Shao, I didn't offend Ms. Lu, right?"

Shao Yunchen looked at Lu Yao's leaving figure without saying a word.

Fu Xuezi was somewhat reluctant. She gritted her teeth and sat down. She said carefully, "Mr. Shao, didn't you already get… divorced? Why are you…"

Always with her?

Shao Yunchen didn't have any expression on his face. He glanced at her and said without fluctuations in his tone, "My personal matters are not within your scope of work."

Fu Xuezi's face became pale. "But auntie…"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shao Yunchen's deep voice. "Don't talk about these random things in front of her in the future. I'll take care of my own matters."

Fu Xuezi didn't speak.

Shao Yunchen no longer looked at her and also stood up to leave. His tall and slender figure was still eye-catching within the crowd.
