Chapter 1780: Chapter 1780: So, When Did It Happen?

Luo Chen felt defeated, and the delicious dishes in front of him didn’t taste as good anymore. He felt he’d asked a stupid question.

Just as he was feeling down, a sliced meatball appeared in his bowl. He looked up to see Yanyan using the communal chopsticks.

This brought a smile to his face, and he softly said to Yanyan, "Thank you."

After finishing the meatball, he put on gloves and started peeling shrimps. Just as he placed the peeled shrimp in Yanyan’s bowl, Qi Junrui also peeled one and placed it in Yueyue’s bowl.

Lu Yichen, sitting across, paused his chopstick action: "Let them peel by themselves. You eat your food."

Luo Chen spoke up, "Uncle Lu, I’ve already put on gloves, I’ll just peel a few more for Yanyan so she doesn’t get her hands dirty."

Qi Junrui noticed the shrimp he had previously peeled in Yueyue’s bowl, didn’t argue, took off his gloves, and quietly started eating.

Luo Qiao saw Lu Yichen was about to say something and kicked him under the table: "Eat."

Luo Chen continued peeling, and Lu Yichen, feeling annoyed, also put on gloves to start peeling shrimps. He was much faster than Luo Chen and Qi Junrui; he was professional at peeling shrimp.

Soon, he peeled a lot for Luo Qiao, and quickly peeled the remaining ones, distributing them to Elder Rong, Rong Daniang, and the two daughters, leaving the three sons without a glance.

Luo Chen ran out of shrimp to peel and could only quietly eat his meal.

Luo Qiao found it amusing watching Lu Yichen, thinking he was even more childish than the other two.

The three sons looked pitifully at the shrimp in their mom’s bowl, making Luo Qiao laugh. She gave each of them two shrimps and handed two more to Lu Yichen: "Dip it yourself."

She was really too lazy to look at them anymore.

After eating, Luo Chen and Qi Junrui reluctantly left.

When Yanyan and Yueyue returned from seeing them off, Lu Yichen was waiting for them: "Tell me, when did this happen?"

Yanyan and Yueyue exchanged a glance, and Yanyan spoke first: "Dad, I really didn’t know before. Luo Chen only mentioned it to me today. We did have more contact before, but I never thought about it this way, I swear."

Lu Yichen saw Yanyan speaking so earnestly and believed her.

Then he looked at Yueyue: "And you?"

Yueyue raised her hand: "My situation is the same as my sister’s, really. You know how it was for us, attending an extracurricular class together, and occasional contact afterwards. But it was always with a group of people. I really never considered it.

It’s only recently that we’ve had more contact, and met several times. Today, when I was moving things to the school gate, planning to hail a cab back, unexpectedly ran into Qi Junrui.

After arriving home, he told me a few days later would be Grandpa Qi’s birthday. He said he likes me and wants me to attend as his girlfriend. He doesn’t want those aristocratic families to think about forming alliances. He said he wants to introduce the person he likes to everyone; that’s it."

Xiao Ye laughed after hearing it: "You two really are twin sisters, even getting confessed to on the same day."

Lu Yichen looked at his two beautiful daughters, suddenly feeling like the treasures he held dear were about to be snatched away by big bad wolves, making him feel uneasy.

With a cold face, he asked, "Did you agree?"

Both shook their heads simultaneously: "No, we said we’d consider it before replying."

Though he felt uncomfortable inside, he couldn’t bring himself to say he wouldn’t let them interact: "Your mom and I won’t interfere, but you need to think clearly yourselves. Decide only if you really like them."
