As soon as Qi Lingyan heard this, he was stunned for a moment as disbelief showed on his face.

He placed his hand on the door handle but did not turn it.

Qi Lingyan stood still and thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and looked at the old lady who was eating mango.

“Let’s all move into our big house, Grandmother.”

‘The old lady was stunned for a moment before she let out a happy chuckle.

“Yes, good idea!”

Su Mubei and Su Mubai clapped their hands in joy as well. Su Xiaonai was the only one who objected with a bitter expression.

“No!”

Su Mubei and Su Mubei stopped clapping immediately. Instead of making a fuss, they sat down obediently and looked towards Su Xiaonai.

‘They were afraid that Su Xiaonai would get angry.

Qi Lingyan let out a long sigh and didn’t mention it again. He picked up his briefcase and left the apartment.

Ji Anren turned around and said to Su Xiaonai.

“Don’t mind Mr. President Qi.”

He said that as if he was the righteous side in this argument, but Su Xiaonai saw right through him. She didn’t say anything and only told him to come over for some fruit.

Ji Anren walked to the side and sat on the cushion. He took a fork and started to eat the mango.

Su Mubei already had a good impression of Ji Anren, so he gave Ji Anren some of his mango.

Ji Anren was overjoyed. It seemed that he had made the right decision to get close to the kids first. His plan was working.

Su Mubai wasn’t on Ji Anren’s side. She considered Qi Lingyan as her future father.

Qi Lingyan’s looks were way better than his.

Sitting next to Su Mubei, Su Mubai quietly reached out her hand and pinched the tender flesh on his leg. Su Mubei’s expression instantly twisted as he cried out in pain.

Noticing this, the old lady was concerned.

“What is it?”

Su Mubei took two deep breaths and calmed down. He looked up and met the old lady’s eyes, looking as though nothing had happened.

“Nothing.”

Seeing that he had not betrayed her but only told a casual lie to the old lady, Su Mubai was relieved.

She looked at Su Mubei gratefully.

Fortunately, Mubei did not say anything. Otherwise, she would definitely be scolded.

When the old lady saw that Su Mubei was really fine, she was relieved and sat back down.

Su Xiaonai, on the other hand, didn’t notice this. She was looking at the message on her phone when an apple suddenly appeared on her plate.

Su Xiaonai frowned when she saw this. She didn’t really like apples. Who left this one here?

Su Xiaonai scanned her surroundings and saw Ji Anren smiling shyly. She immediately understood.

She was also embarrassed to tell him directly that she was not a fan of apples. That would be too rude.

Su Xiaonai had no choice but to eat the half of the apple. As Su Xiaonai’s son, Su Mubei knew what she hated.

So he sighed and pulled Ji Anren’s sleeve. Ji Anren bent down and lowered his head to put his ear close to Su Mubei’s mouth.

Su Mubei whispered.

“Mommy doesn’t like apples. Don’t give her apples anymore.”

Surprised, Ji Anren immediately looked up at Su Xiaonai. Su Xiaonai noticed his gaze and smiled politely.

Ji Anren obviously had a strange reasoning. He chuckled out loud.

Xiaonai doesn’t like apples, but she still ate that one because of me. Does this mean she’s interested in me as well?

Su Xiaonai couldn’t stand his intense gaze. She quickly turned around and continued reading the messages on her phone.

Ji Anren wondered why she was getting shy.

If Su Mubei could hear his thoughts, he would definitely scold Ji Anren and tell him not to let his imagination run wild. Su Xiaonai wasn’t interested in him at all. She only ate the apple because she wasn’t good at saying no to others.

The fruits on the table were quickly finished. Su Xiaonai picked up the plates and walked to the kitchen.

Su Mubei followed behind.

Although Ji Anren didn’t help carry anything, he still wanted to impress Su Xiaonai and help her do the dishes.

He was just about to take a step when someone tugged on his clothes.

It was Su Mubai.

Su Mubai was shrewd enough to see through Ji Anren’s intentions and decided to stop him from getting close to Su Xiaonai.

“Mr. Ji, let’s play chess together.”

Ji Anren did not think too much about it and agreed readily. His chess skills were very bad, but he would be competing against a little kid.

It shouldn’t be too difficult, Ji Anren thought naively.

Ji Anren sat down, and Su Mubai placed the chess pieces down to start the match. Meanwhile, Su Mubei carried the plates to the sink.

Seeing how considerate Su Mubei was, Su Xiaonai smiled in relief. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.

“Mubei, do you like Mr. Ji Anren a lot?”

Surprisingly, Su Mubei did not give an affirmative answer and only shook his head.

“No, I like him OK. Because he taught us computers.”

Only then did Su Xiaonai relax.

Su Mubei moved his eyes and said.

“Mr. Ji is not as good as Mr. Qi. Uncle Qi is the number one candidate in my heart. Mubai thinks so as well.”

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Su Xiaonai’s forehead. She couldn’t stop the two kids from thinking about it this way, no matter what she said.

On the other side, Su Mubai was just one step away from checkmate. She raised her little head, looking proud.

‘The old lady was also surprised. She didn’t expect Su Mubai to have this trick up her sleeve. She actually knew how to play Chinese chess. Although she wasn’t as good as Su Mubei, her skills were better than the majority of the population.

Feeling ashamed, Ji Anren admitted his defeat.

“You’re too good. I accept my defeat.”

Su Mubai made a victory gesture and started to clean up the chess pieces. She wanted to play another round, but Ji Anren refused.

He didn’t want to lose to her again. It was too embarrassing. Thankfully, Su Xiaonai didn’t see him losing.

After Su Xiaonai finished washing the plates, Ji Anren said that he was leaving. Su Xiaonai decided to send him off.

‘They walked out and Ji Anren pressed the elevator button. They walked in.

Su Xiaonai wasn’t just there to see Ji Anren off. She wanted to ask about the company.

“How’s the acquisition going with the Su Corporation?”

Ji Anren glanced at Su Xiaonai, looking like he was about to say something.

“I shouldn’t have interfered, but for your sake, I’ll fight for it.”

Ji Anren was flirting with her again, but Su Xiaonai just wasn’t interested. She felt speechless.

Ji Anren kept his suggestive gaze on Su Xiaonai, but she only felt offended.
