Fang Lian looked into her son’s narrow eyes that were as dark and bottomless as ink, feeling uneasy. She wiped her mouth and stood up, smiling awkwardly, "Yes, I’m full. You all enjoy your meal."
With Lu Youwei’s permission, she quickly walked upstairs with small steps.
It was then that Su Mo noticed the man sitting elegantly next to the head of the table. He had a low presence, but once noticed, he was hard to ignore.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Chen approached her, his expression unpleasant.
Su Mo withdrew her gaze and looked at his untouched plate of beef, chuckling, "I want some more."
Lu Chen’s expression softened, and he began to cut the steak on the plate for her.
Fang Ya came out with a newly baked fish, and a nanny placed it on the table. She approached Su Mo somewhat nervously and asked softly, "Child, the crescent part of the fish is the tastiest. How about I get you a piece?"
Su Mo was about to nod when Lu Chen stood up, took the chopsticks, and distancingly said, "I’ll do it."
"Oh, okay," Fang Ya handed over the bowl, her eyes dimming as she returned to her seat at the head of the table.
Just as Lu Chen placed the fish tail in Su Mo’s bowl, Lu Youwei slammed the table and stood up, "I didn’t invite you here for you to upset your mother!"
