Bai Xiaonian, who was already asleep, was jolted awake by the loud slamming of the door, her heart beating especially quickly…
She lifted the blankets off of her, then came out of the bedroom, looking really sleepy still.
"Dad… what's the matter?"
Bai Xiaonian asked upon seeing Lu Jinnan's father standing stiffly at the entrance of the kitchen while staring at the door.
Not wanting to worry Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan's father forced a stiff smile and said, "Nothing. Xiao Bei threw a fit and left with Xiao Cai."
Bai Xiaonian glanced into the kitchen.
Could Lu Jinnan have made things difficult for Cai Jingyao?
"Since it's only us three eating, we don't need that many dishes… Just four dishes and one soup will be enough. There's a fish in the steamer. I'll stir fry one more dish, and we can start to eat!" Lu Jinnan came out of the kitchen and said to Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian nodded, not pursuing the matter.
