Chapter 1068: Let Daddy Eat (2)
Translator: DaoistLUbAbJ
Not long after, Leng Nuan came out of the kitchen with a plate of food in her hands.
She glanced at Lu Benlai and saw that he was still standing beside the sofa with Coco in his arms. She said again, “Coco, wash your hands. Come and eat.”
Hearing this, Lu Benlai came back to his senses. When he looked in Leng Nuan’s direction again, Leng Nuan entered the kitchen again.
He knew that although Leng Nuan had called for Coco, she had said it for him to hear.
He really did not expect her to let him into her house, to let him stay for dinner… and even to talk to him..
Lu Benlai suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and carried Coco into the bathroom.
When he finished washing Coco’s hands and came out of the bathroom with Coco, Leng Nuan had already placed the dishes on the table.
Lu Benlai placed Coco in the chair she was sitting on before sitting down next to her.
Although Leng Nuan did not speak to him, there was a bowl of soup placed in front of him.
Although he did not drink the soup, looking at the ingredients in it, he remembered that four years ago, after he worked overtime many times, he would always see the same soup on the dining table..
“Daddy, feed…”Lu Benlai, who was sitting next to her, didn’t do anything. He reached out and grabbed his lapel.
Lu Benlai came back to his senses. He picked up the bowl and spoon of Coco and fed her.
Because it was Lu Benlai who fed her, Coco didn’t eat and play with her aunt in the past. Soon, Coco was full.
“Let Daddy Eat. Can you go play alone for a while?”Leng Nuan glanced at Lu Benlai’s untouched chopsticks and took the exceptionally sticky coco out of her chair.
Let Daddy Eat… Daddy… When Lu Benlai heard Leng Nuan say these two words, his fingertips subconsciously trembled.
Coco nodded obediently and said, “Okay.”
Then, she turned her head and glanced at Lu Benlai. Seeing that he had not eaten, she said again, “Daddy, let’s eat.”
Hearing Coco’s words, Lu Benlai came back to his senses. He replied coco with a “Okay”and then picked up his chopsticks.
It could be seen that Lu Benlai began to move his chopsticks and then ran off to watch cartoons alone.
Only Leng Nuan and Lu Benlai were left at the dining table.
Neither of them spoke to the other.
The food was still the same as it had been in the past. Even after so many years, nothing had changed.
As Lu Benlai ate, he suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He could not swallow it no matter how hard he tried.
If only… If Only… he had not lost her, how good would that have been..
As he thought about it, he looked at Leng Nuan, who was sitting beside him, and subconsciously moved his lips. “Nuan Nuan…”
He only shouted two words, and Leng Nuan seemed to know what he was going to say next. She looked up at him and said, “The soup is cold. I’ll heat it up for you.”
As she said that, she stood up, took the bowl of soup in front of him, and went into the kitchen.
Lu Benlai knew that Leng Nuan had guessed what Lu Benlai was trying to say, so she cut him off.
He didn’t insist on telling her that once the soup was ready, he would treat it as if nothing had happened and eat silently.
However, Leng Nuan seemed to have been frightened. She didn’t take a seat at the dining table. Instead, she put down the soup and went to the SOFA to accompany Coco.

Even though it was the weekend, Lin Jiayi had received a call in the afternoon asking for an urgent document, so she had her assistant rush it over to her.
Her assistant arrived at five o’clock, but Lin Jiayi was busy with something, so after opening the door for her assistant, she said “Come in”before heading back to her study.
