She swore that she was really just asking politely, waiting for Li Beichen to respond with the same polite "I've eaten", and then she could avoid him and eat her food with peace of mind, but she didn't expect-
He actually put down the magazine, leaned forward and stood up, flicking his coat gracefully: "I'll be right back."
Feeling so comfortable and dumb, Li Beichen couldn't tell the pain, so he could only hold his mouth and walked into the restaurant first. Taking in all her expressions, Li Beichen smiled indifferently, and was about to follow, but he didn't think of his pocket.
The cell phone inside rang at the right moment——
He picked up the phone with a calm expression, but when he saw the familiar international number on it, he couldn't help but frowned. He turned around with a solemn expression and found a corner far away from the restaurant before picking up: "Hello, Mom."
Li Tianxia rarely calls his phone, especially his personal cell phone.
"Someone may be targeting you in the near future, please pay attention to your safety." Li Tianxia's voice was calm, and the more dangerous the matter, the calmer he seemed. "If anything happens, come back quickly, you know?"
"Yes." Li Beichen responded, without much emotion on his face.
"And..." Taking a deep breath, Li Tianxia deliberately lowered his voice, "Where are you now? Is it convenient to speak? I have something very important to tell you..."
The implication is: if it is convenient, just say it; if it is inconvenient, quickly move to a "convenient" place and say it!
But Li Beichen didn't follow her ideas!
He was holding his cell phone in one hand, but he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the restaurant. Seeing that slender back from a distance, an unconscious softness appeared in his eyes.
Then, he responded calmly: "It's inconvenient."
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly, but he didn't know that the "important things" Li Tianxia said were actually really important...

In the restaurant.
Shushuang scooped a small bowl of fish fillet porridge from the big cup and drank it deliciously. When she saw Li Beichen coming in, her expression tightened and she immediately evolved from "drinking porridge" to "pouring porridge into her mouth"...
Because of this "weird relationship" between them, she felt inexplicably nervous when she saw him.
"Mr. Li, let's finish the porridge to fill your stomach." Aunt Zhang diligently helped him scoop out a bowl and politely placed it in front of Li Beichen, "It's easy to have an upset stomach on an empty stomach..."
Shu Shuang held the bowl of porridge and looked at him covetously from time to time.
Shu Shuang didn't even listen to Aunt Zhang's nagging. She focused entirely on Li Beichen's expression - staring at the light white porridge bowl, his face quickly turned from calm to dark.
piece……
Shu Shuang roughly estimated the focus of his gaze, and finally followed it to the pale fish fillet on the bowl. This look... was comparable to a fox staring at a carrot!
Obviously, Li Beichen doesn't like eating fish!!
"Mr. Li, why don't you eat?" Aunt Zhang urged kindly, and Shu Shuang saw that his face had successfully darkened again.
Shushuang pursed her lips and snickered. The tension in her heart suddenly disappeared. As soon as her brain twitched, she immediately plucked the hair from the tiger's head and joked with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, he is too young! Men have big appetites, so you can fill him with this little bit."
It’s not enough…”
As soon as the words came out, she immediately received two sharp glances...
