Sometimes the feelings between children are more pure. With just a glance, the relationship between the two kids got much closer.
Although Shen Nanyi's soul was that of an adult, she was highly adaptable to different identities due to multiple reincarnations.
When their eyes met, Shen Nanyi gave Ji Beichuan a sweet smile and then quickly averted her gaze.
Maybe everything was predestined. She herself hadn't had a smooth life, but perhaps others could.
Even though Ji Beichuan was only five years old, he was a calm - tempered boy who showed little interest in other kids. However, the smile of the little girl in front of him left him in a daze for a long time.
It was like a warm current in the cold winter, gradually melting the chill in his heart. It was indescribable.
The Shen family originally planned to wait until Ji Beichuan finished eating before looking for his family. To their surprise, the door of the private room was soon opened.
Without even knocking, a group of people escorted a woman in. She exuded an imposing aura.
Naturally, the Shen family didn't have a good impression of these unannounced strangers who burst in without knocking.
They didn't say a word but continued to eat from the dishes on the table without pausing for a moment.
Although the Shen family wasn't extremely wealthy, the pride of intellectuals was something that ordinary people couldn't imitate. When facing each other, the Shen family didn't seem inferior in terms of momentum.
Seeing the newcomer, Ji Beichuan on the table showed undisguised disgust in his eyes. He didn't even want to look at the person and simply pretended not to see her.
"Beichuan, come home with your aunt. Your uncle is extremely worried," Lin Yuqing said in an overly gentle tone, wearing a kind smile on her face.
Almost everyone had a good impression of Lin Yuqing. As expected of someone from a big family, her self - restraint and intonation were simply perfect.
Ji Beichuan sitting on the chair had a terrifyingly dark face, showing a gloom beyond his age.
"Remember to tell your family next time you go out. What if you encounter any danger outside?"
Ignored by Ji Beichuan, Lin Yuqing's expression didn't change a bit. She continued to maintain her elegant smile, with a hint of disgust flashing briefly in the depths of her eyes, well - concealed.
Although Shen Nanyi didn't say a word, she had been observing the situation. From the moment Lin Yuqing entered and said her first sentence, Shen Nanyi knew she was a seasoned green tea bitch.
There were countless more sophisticated schemers in the imperial palace. Having lived in such an environment for so long, Shen Nanyi's ability to identify green tea bitches was so sharp that it could fill a book.
On the surface, the woman's words seemed to show concern for Ji Beichuan, but in fact, she was implying to everyone that Ji Beichuan was an unruly child who ran around on his own.
Seeing the little boy with whom she had a connection being bullied, Shen Nanyi was really annoyed. If she weren't so young, she would really like to have a showdown with this woman to see who was more cunning.
But being young didn't mean she was powerless. On the contrary, many things were more justifiable when done by a child.
She wriggled and asked Zhao Shuyan to lift her out of the baby chair. Then she toddled towards Lin Yuqing on her short legs.
Since someone wanted to play the innocent and kind - hearted role in front of everyone, she would give her a chance to show just how patient she could be.
Even though Zhao Shuyan knew that Shen Nanyi was different from other kids of the same age, when she saw Shen Nanyi walking towards a stranger, she instinctively followed behind.
Ji Beichuan, who had been quiet all this time, also came closer, looking at Lin Yuqing warily.
"Carry me," Shen Nanyi said.
No one expected that instead of getting angry with Lin Yuqing, Shen Nanyi stood beside her, reaching out her little hands eagerly.
"What a cute child," someone exclaimed.
Shen Nanyi's analysis was right. Lin Yuqing always presented herself as generous, kind, and gentle in front of others.
No matter how much she disliked children in her heart, in front of so many people, she couldn't refuse. So she gently picked up Shen Nanyi.
"Ms. Lin has such a good temper."
"Even kids like Ms. Lin. It shows how charming she is."
The staff who followed Lin Yuqing into the restaurant had no idea what was going on. They instinctively praised Lin Yuqing.
The situation in the Ji family was rather delicate at the moment. It was always a good idea to curry favor with someone, especially someone with a somewhat ambiguous status.
At first, Lin Yuqing was a bit reluctant, but hearing the praise from those around her, her expression finally softened and became less stiff.
At first, Shen Nanyi was very well - behaved in Lin Yuqing's arms, but soon she became restless.
First, she accidentally tugged at Lin Yuqing's hair, then curiously pulled at her earring, and finally drooled on Lin Yuqing's body.
To maintain her perfect and delicate image in public, Lin Yuqing always wore high - heeled shoes over seven centimeters when she went out. To match today's outfit, she was wearing a rather eye - catching pair of earrings. When Shen Nanyi pulled at them, Lin Yuqing could hardly maintain her composure.
Thinking about the people around her, Lin Yuqing kept telling herself to stay calm and tried to soothe Shen Nanyi in her arms.
If Shen Nanyi weren't so young, she would think that Shen Nanyi was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.
Seeing her daughter moving around on someone else and even grabbing the person, Zhao Shuyan was extremely worried. She was afraid that Lin Yuqing would lose her temper and carefully stood by.
Ji Beichuan watched in a daze. For some reason, he felt that his intelligence was no match for a one - year - old child.
When Shen Nanyi sensed that Lin Yuqing's anger was rising and her face was turning red with suppressed rage, she finally wriggled to get down.
As the weight in her arms lightened, Lin Yuqing felt relieved. But before she could catch her breath, her face turned as black as coal.
Lin Yuqing was wearing a spaghetti - strap dress today. When Shen Nanyi got down, her little hand pulled at the strap, pulling the dress down about five centimeters.
The part that was originally barely visible was now slightly exposed. Lin Yuqing even felt the change in the looks from those around her. At this moment, her face completely darkened.
Forgetting about her pretense in front of others, all she wanted to do at this moment was to beat Shen Nanyi up.
