Chapter 162: A sense of impeding danger

Nana managed not to crack her smile.
“Thank you.” She held the bouquet, and her fingers grazed against Jinhai’s. She quickly tried to back off, but Jinhai covertly grabbed her index finger, hiding in between the flowers.
She looked at him in shock. She tried to pull out her finger from his grasp, but he didn’t let her. She warned Jinhai, signaling him with her eyes, but he merely smiled in amusement.
You! Leave my finger!
Nope.
You are making them suspicious!
Not my problem.
She gritted her teeth.
Jing grinned. “Is there something wrong with the bouquet Sister Nana?”
She awkwardly laughed. “I’m so embarrassed. My finger seems stuck in the leaves.”
Liu Hai joined in. “Aish! What kind of a bouquet have we brought? Jinhai, you should have properly checked it.”
“En. My mistake.” He finally released her finger. Nana got relieved and shot him a furious glare.
Liu Chunhua eyed them suspiciously but said nothing.
Jing was eagerly looking for Yukito.
All these days, I only stalked him from afar. But now I will see him in person after so many days!
“Please come inside. I will take you to your table.”
She got them seated and said, “Here is the menu. When you have decided to order, please ring the bell.”
Jing said, “En! But Sister Nana, won’t you join us for dinner. Pretty please?” he looked at her with puppy eyes.
She hesitated. “I’m sorry, Liu Jing. First a fall, this is your family dinner. It won’t look good if I join in. And secondly, as you can see, this is the rush hour. I will be swamped in the kitchen.”
Jing pouted.
Liu Hai waved his hand, “I understand the second point, but the first point is definitely invalid. You are family. Or, in other words, will be very soon.” he muttered the last sentence.
“Sorry?”
Liu Chunhua narrowed her eyes.
He quickly corrected himself, sensing his wife’s intense gaze. “I-I mean didn’t I say before that you are just like my daughter?”
Nana said, “Ah…Thank you, but I can’t. But, I will regularly come and check on you.”
They sighed and nodded.
Saying that she left and got busy in her work. Liu Chunhua looked around and found the place very warm and pleasant.
“This place is indeed nice. I can feel how much love and care she has devoted to it.”
Jinhai smiled, feeling proud of his love.
Liu Hai said, “That’s why we are here. It feels so much comfortable and relaxing here than those stiff seven-star hotels.” He looked in disdain.
“Indeed.”, she nodded. She lovingly looked at both of her sons. She asked, “Jinhai, Jing. How are you both doing alone by yourselves?”
Jing rolled his eyes. “Mom, we both are grown up now. We have even studied abroad. It’s a little too late to ask this question.”
“Shut up! Always making fun of my concern.”, she glared.
He stuck out his tongue. “We are doing fine, Mom.”
“How can you? You both look like you have lost so much weight.” She sighed. She looked at Jinhai and asked, “Jinhai…How long will you be away? We all are missing you both. The villa looks so empty. Please come back.”
“Did she agree to divorce?”
Liu Chunhua pursed her lips and said nothing.
Jing quietly sipped his water.
“Then you know my answer.”
End of discussion.
She drooped her shoulders in resignation.
Liu Hai said, “Alright, drop this subject. We are here to spend some family time together. Don’t bring such a serious topic and spoil the fun.”
Just then, Yukito came to their table. “Sir, can I take your order?”
Jing brightened. But, he controlled his excitement.
Yukito’s gaze met his, and Jing mouthed silently, “I love you.” He winked.
Yukito gave him a dry look.
Is this guy still on it?
Jinhai said, “Jing, why don’t you order?”
“En.”, he nodded, grinning. “So…what is special today?”
Yukito listed all the special dishes in tonight’s menu.
“Can we customize the toppings?”
“Yes.”
“Sauce?”
“Yes.”
“The curry should be spicy.”
“Okay, sir.”
“I don’t like carrots.”
“We will not put them in your serving, sir.”
“I like mushrooms.”
“Noted, sir.”
“What do you like the most?” he put the menu down and asked him with a silly smile on his face.
“Excuse me, sir?” Yukito squinted his eyes.
Liu Hai tilted his head and observed their conversation. As sharp as he was, his instinct was ringing a bell inside his head. Anyone can see that Jing is just prolonging the conversation.
He shot a questionable look at Jinhai. Jinhai nodded back.
Liu Hai couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
I see, I see! So, we have got a son-in-law! And the best part is that he is Nana’s brother! Good job, son!
He glanced at Yukito.
Aish, he doesn’t seem to be interested in Jing.
He then shrugged it off.
Not for long anyway.
Yukito left, noting their order and cursing Jing in his mind.
Why didn’t Nee-chan send Yukira over there?
Jinhai was looking around for Nana, and he found her standing near a table talking to some customers. It was a group of two boys and two girls roughly around the same age as Nana.
She was talking, smiling sometimes, and nodding. One boy, in particular, seemed to be talking incessantly to her, blushing now and then. Nana didn’t seem to realize his crush on her and was chatting happily to him.
Jinhai narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, Nana felt a chill run in her back. She straightened up. She sensed an intense gaze, and turned around to see Jinhai shooting her a dangerous look.
She gulped. All kinds of alarms went off in her head.
Why does he seem so angry?
