Chapter 560: Chapter 560: I am Ah Jing’s Boyfriend

Luo Yifan had been in the kitchen for almost half an hour now, and surprisingly, it was very quiet with no sounds of any dispute coming from inside.

Zhu Qianying wondered, could it be because I’m here?

Or maybe, my mother is too busy and can’t be bothered to respond to Luo Yifan’s complaints and suggestions?

The gossip in Zhu Qianying’s mind was burning. She was considering sneaking in to have a look when the kitchen’s glass door was pushed open, and Luo Yifan came out carrying a tray.

Zhu Qianying only had to slightly lift her toes to see that on the tray, there was only a bowl of noodles.

Zhu Qianying asked, with a gossipy and gloating tone, "Uncle Luo, is this your lunch?"

Usually, Luo Yifan’s lunch was quite extravagant.

"Yeah, and I cooked it myself. Your mom said she refuses to serve me!"

Zhu Qianying could not help but burst into laughter.

So, even mom has a temper!

It’s just that, in the past, this temper wasn’t directed at the right person!

Hoping this time, it can!

Zhu Qianying went over to help him pull out a chair. The bowl of noodles he brought out was indeed pitiful. The soup was made from stock, but the bowl only had noodles and a single egg. There were no slices of meat or onion flowers in sight.

"Uncle Luo, are you dieting? Is this all you’re eating?"

Luo Yifan laughed awkwardly and used his chopsticks to poke at the lonesome egg.

"I can eat a lot, but this is all I know how to cook!"

Zhu Qianying almost burst into laughter again, but she held it back.

She looked at Luo Yifan, incredulous. "Uncle Luo, as the boss of Fanxin Restaurant, this is the only thing you know how to cook?"

Luo Yifan shrugged his shoulders and admitted frankly.

"Yeah, I can’t even cook a poached egg!"

Zhu Qianying thought to herself, well, no wonder my mom scolded you like that. If it were me, I would probably scold you even worse!

Someone who can’t even cook a poached egg, yet criticizes others’ cooking skills, really doesn’t have any convincing power at all.

But Luo Yifan didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with him. He sat down leisurely, picked up a few strands of noodles with his chopsticks, and looked up at Zhu Qianying. "Want some?"

Zhu Qianying quickly waved her hands. "No need, I eat a lot. Your noodles aren’t enough for me."

Luo Yifan graciously said, "It’s fine, I can cook more. It’s quite simple!"

This time, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but tell the truth. "Never mind, I prefer my mom’s cooking. I don’t appreciate this kind."

Luo Yifan laughed heartily. "Go on then, don’t feel sorry for me, I’ll have food to eat in a couple of days!"

Zhu Qianying shook her head with a smile, thinking that Luo Yifan was unusually optimistic. However, she didn’t voice this thought and turned to walk towards the cashier.

"Xiao Ya, what did Mr. Luo eat yesterday?" Zhu Qianying secretly asked Xiao Ya.

"Rice!"

Looks like this vegetable noodle with barely a drop of oil is a punishment after a quarrel.

Well, chefs are great! When they quarrel and get unhappy, they could just impose sanctions on the other’s stomach. No need for idle talk at all.

The restaurant was business as usual. It didn’t change at all because the restaurant owner’s friend got into a quarrel with the owner and had nothing to eat.

Zhu Qianying sneaked a glance at Luo Yifan, who was sitting at a corner table for two while she was busy. She thought she would see a miserable Luo Yifan.

However, she always saw him eating contentedly with no signs of disliking the food, even though it was just a bowl of vegetable noodles, he was still enjoying it.

Over there, the waitress served the food to the customers at table ten. The customer facing Zhu Qianying was pointing at the food and saying something to the waitress. The waitress listened carefully, then nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

Zhu Qianying didn’t pay much attention. After all, isn’t it normal that diners communicate with waitresses?

After a while, the kitchen door opened. Zhu Qianying saw her mother coming out and thought she came to see Luo Yifan, probably unable to bear seeing him eating only vegetable noodles.

However, it wasn’t the case.

Her mother went to table ten. By the time Zhu Qianying reacted, her mother had already stopped at table ten, and the somewhat familiar man wearing a hat and with his back to Zhu Qianying suddenly grabbed her mother’s hand.

Zhu Qianying’s body moved faster than her mind. Without thinking, she darted out from behind the cashier, sprinted to table ten, swung away the hand grabbing her mom’s wrist, and protected her mother behind her as she glared at the man with the hat, growling.

"Zhu Zhizhou, what are you doing here?"

The man with the hat and sunglasses couldn’t pretend anymore, and directly pleaded with Zhu Qianying with a sad face.

"Ying’er, Ah Jing, I beg you, let Xiao Wei off! Please spare us!"

Zhu Qianying pointed towards the door with a cold voice. "Get out! You’re not welcome here!"

Zhu Zhizhou suddenly stood up. Zhu Qianying reflexively protected her mom and took a few steps back. But Zhu Zhizhou didn’t intend to attack them, instead, he knelt down with a "plop".

"Ying’er, please persuade Yan to let go of Ah Wei. I beg you! Ah Jing... I beg you!"

Pitifully, he began to kowtow with a "thud thud thud".

Zhu Qianying was about to say something when a shadow flashed in front of her. She thought it was the Yan family’s bodyguards who had rushed over.

Then, she heard Luo Yifan’s voice.

"A man has to take responsibility for his actions! What’s the use of begging?! Ah Jing and Ying’er don’t owe you anything. Why should they be noble and help you? Why should they bear all the guilt for your son?"

Zhu Qianying looked up and only saw Luo Yifan’s back. For a moment, she realized that this man was actually quite tall and strong!

The man who had been pitifully kneeling on the floor begging for mercy, Zhu Zhizhou, suddenly stood up and glared at Luo Yifan, demanding harshly.

"Who are you? My family affairs are none of your business!"

"I’m Ah Jing’s boyfriend. Should my girlfriend’s affairs concern you, a stranger, instead of me? You’re supposed to be a grown man, neglecting your responsibilities, coming to my girlfriend’s store to kneel, play pitiful. Do you still have any shame left?"

Zhu Qianying stood behind Luo Yifan. She couldn’t see Luo Yifan’s expression, and likewise, she couldn’t see Zhu Zhizhou’s either.

But she could imagine that Luo Yifan must still have that calm and slightly contemptuous look he usually has.

And Zhu Zhizhou, certainly, looked dispirited, like he’d just fallen flat on his face and gotten a mouthful of dog poop.

"Brother Luo..." Mom from behind seemed to want to come out and stop it, but was quickly pulled back by Zhu Qianying.

At this moment, having a man backing her up, and a man who could make Zhu Zhizhou look pale in comparison, felt amazing!

Even though Zhu Qianying knew very well that Luo Yifan was just putting on a show and he and her mom were not really in a relationship.

But to see Zhu Zhizhou looking so defeated, nothing else mattered!
