226 Daddy!

Zhang Li didn't bother to scold Lu Yi Feng but turned her attention back to Xiao Xi Xi. "Good! Grandma will eat after this... you can eat first!"

Xiao Xi Xi bobbed her head up and down happily. "Thank you, Grandma!" Without a second thought, she quickly tried every delicate dish that she wanted. Zhang Li looked at her with a smile. Feng Xiao Qing and Zhang Li followed along and started to eat as well.

They ate slowly. Once in a while, Zhang Li was chatting with Xiao Xi Xi and Feng Xiao Qing while Lu Yi Feng only became their listener. Despite not talking, Lu Yi Feng also enjoyed their lunch. They looked like a wonderful picture of a happy family.

Xiao Xi Xi took a peek at the dish that was served in front of Lu Yi Feng --- Karaage. Karaage was a Japanese cooking technique in which various foods—most often chicken, but also other meat and fish—are deep-fried in oil. She almost drooled when she looked at it, after all, she was just a little girl and tended to like crunchy foods or fast foods. However, Feng Xiao Qing rarely allowed her to eat fast foods.

She bit her fork and looked at it longingly. Lu Yi Feng took a glance at what dish that made Xiao Xi Xi looked so interested and wanted to laugh. Did the Karaage look that yummy? He could see that she almost drooled ah~!

Lu Yi Feng wanted to offer her the Karaage, but he was one step too late. Xiao Xi Xi opened her mouth and asked happily while pointing at the Karaage, "Daddy... I want that one!"

No matter how clever Xiao Xi Xi was, she was still an innocent four-year-old. Once she got excited, she forgot everything. The most important thing in her eyes was the Karaage. However, after she said the word 'Daddy', she gasped because she also realized her mistake. She looked around guiltily while covering her mouth with one of her hand.

Xiao Xi Xi didn't dare to look at the adults' expression.

The adults looked at her in surprise, but each of them had different thoughts. Feng Xiao Qing was frozen on the spot because she was afraid that Lu Yi Feng would get angry. Lu Yi Feng felt like he wasn't ready to tell his mother about their current relationship and that made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Zhang Li purely felt surprised. She wondered whether Xiao Xi Xi called her son 'Daddy' because she was missing her deceased father. It made her heart softened. If it was any other person, she might have thought that Xiao Xi Xi was doing this to gain their attention.

However, the one who listened to Xiao Xi Xi's words was Zhang Li and her thought was always different from others since she was a little girl.

Zhang Li could differentiate between right or wrong. Besides, she had once at Xiao Xi Xi's position. She found a nice Uncle, but she was slapped by that Uncle's mother. Yes, she also didn't have a father and used to be poor as well. That was why she wouldn't copy that bitchy grandmother's behavior.

Zhang Li asked softly, "Do you really miss your daddy?"

Xiao Xi Xi removed the hand that covered her mouth slowly and answered meekly, "Er... yes?" She didn't say that she didn't miss him that much, because he was right in front of her ah~! She said yes because she didn't really know what to say. She honestly didn't want to lie to the kind grandmother.

"Poor girl!" Zhang Li said. She wanted to pat Xiao Xi Xi's head, but she sat in front of her and they were separated by the big table. Thus, she could only comfort her with words.

"It's okay... You can call my son as 'Daddy'!" Zhang Li said, feeling pity towards this little girl.

Lu Yi Feng knew that his mother wasn't that easy to get close to new people, hence he was feeling surprised. However, he didn't let it show on his face. He had his own doubts but decided no to ask. His mother had never told him about her past, so naturally, he didn't know that Xiao Xi Xi had reminded her of her past.

Xiao Xi Xi smiled widely at Zhang Li and said, "Thank you, Grandma!" She looked at Lu Yi Feng who looked at her with a slightly curling up lips and called him happily, "Daddy!"

Feng Xiao Qing sighed in relief. Even though Xiao Xi Xi tried not to let them see her real thought, Feng Xiao Qing could see the slight disappointment in her eyes --- because she couldn't call Lu Yi Feng 'Daddy'. Feng Xiao Qing knew that she must have been feeling hurt because they needed to keep their relationship a secret.

Feng Xiao Qing fully understood why Xiao Xi Xi quickly noticed that they needed to keep their relationship a secret. Lu Yi Feng and Feng Xiao Qing had briefly told her the reason --- it was because Feng Xiao Qing hadn't debuted yet. When the time was right, they would announce their relationship. Xiao Xi Xi was sensible, so she made a promise to follow the couple's order.

However, they forgot that no matter what, Xiao Xi Xi was only a little girl. She could feel sad and disappointed for not being able to call Lu Yi Feng as 'Daddy' loud and clear.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

When Lu Yi Feng hadn't answered Xiao Xi Xi right away, Zhang Li nudged him while giving Lu Yi Feng a signal with her eyes. Of course, she wanted him to acknowledge Xiao Xi Xi. Zhang Li only thought that she would only play pretend with Xiao Xi Xi for this one day. She would never guess that they would meet a lot of times in the future.

Lu Yi Feng answered with a nod, "En..."

It already made Xiao Xi Xi become so happy! Her smile was blossoming, making her look even more endearing and cuter. Lu Yi Feng gave a few pieces of Karaage on Xiao Xi Xi's bowl and she gave Lu Yi Feng a sweet smile in return. She was truly happy.

'With Daddy and grandma's presence, her mommy wouldn't be able to stop her from eating fast foods. Yay!' Xiao Xi Xi thought to herself naughtily.

The atmosphere inside the VIP room became more relaxing and their relationship was getting closer. Zhang Li asked about Feng Xiao Qing and Xiao Xi Xi's current situation and it made Feng Xiao Qing feel a bit uncomfortable, even though she wasn't asking about her past or about Xiao Xi Xi's father. Zhang Li was curious but she knew her own boundaries.

Zhang Li asked, "Where do you live?"

She didn't intend to lie to Zhang Li, thus, Feng Xiao Qing honestly answered with the street name. She didn't tell her the apartment name and number, fortunately, Zhang Li didn't inquire more about it. Zhang Li was surprised and said that Feng Xiao Qing's apartment was actually near Lu Yi Feng's apartment.

Zhang Li asked in bewilderment, "Isn't that area really expensive?"
