Zou Ya smiled. He turned around and took a small handful of fish feed and placed it in Jiang Yu’s free hand. He taught Jiang Yu to throw it into the lake step by step.

Jiang Yu looked fat and strong, but she was actually weak and her arms were short. She could only spread them to the side of the boat. However, this attracted the koi to the boat so that Jiang Yu could see them up close. The smile on her face became even more obvious.

Under Auntie Zhang’s instructions, the boatman rowed the boat and wandered among the duckweed. Zou Ya brought Jiang Yu to feed the fish while admiring the scenery of the lake. After feeding the fish, he brought Jiang Yu to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to play. In addition, Auntie Zhang had prepared some food in advance, so Jiang Yu had food and drinks. She played so much that she forgot to return.

It was not until the servant called the two of them back for lunch that Jiang Yu reluctantly followed Zou Ya back to the living room.

Jiang An and Li Mei had planned to stay for an hour or two before going home, but Wen Li forced them to stay for lunch.

Just as everyone was about to go to the dining room to eat, Zou Bai returned.

When Jiang Yu saw Zou Bai, she let go of Zou Ya’s hand excitedly and ran over with her short legs. “Daddy!”

Zou Ya looked at his suddenly empty palm and felt a little empty.

Zou Bai watched as Jiang Yu rushed over like a small cannonball and hugged his leg. A hint of gentleness appeared in his cold eyes. He bent down and reached out to touch Jiang Yu’s little head. “Little Feather.”

Wen Li saw Zou Bai’s attitude towards Jiang Yu with her own eyes again and was secretly surprised. However, no matter what, it was still a breakthrough. She smiled at Jiang An and said, “My Zou Bai and Little Feather really hit it off. This is good too. Let him experience the joy of being a parent in advance so that he won’t have a straight face all day. Those who don’t know might think that he’s angry all day.”

However, on second thought, she remembered that Zou Bai was a workaholic. Usually, he would rest in the office after lunch at the company. Wen Li felt even more strange about Zou Bai coming back at this time.

Wen Li asked in confusion, “Uncle Qiang didn’t bring you food today?”

Zou Bai looked at Wen Li and replied calmly, “He did. 1 have something important that 1 need to personally come back to get.”

Zou Bai’s gaze swept over Jiang An, who was beside her mother. The two of them nodded in greeting. Then, he looked at Li Mei and said politely, “Hello, Auntie Li.”

Li Mei nodded and replied with a smile, “Hello.”

Wen Li saw the interaction between Zou Bai and Jiang An and had a flash of inspiration. “I can tell at a glance that you haven’t eaten. Come over and eat with your Auntie Li and An’an.”

Without waiting for Zou Bai to reply, Wen Li pulled him to the dining room. Zou Bai could only follow his mother’s lead.

Jiang Yu was like a little tail. She grabbed Zou Bai’s pinky and quickly followed him with her short legs. Seeing this, Zou Bai simply picked her up with one hand.

Seeing how enthusiastic Jiang Yu was every time she met Zou Bai, Jiang An held her forehead and looked at Li Mei awkwardly.

Li Mei patted the back of Jiang An’s hand. “It’s fine. Zou Bai is good-looking. Jiang Yu, that little fellow, is blinded. Children’s words carry no harm. She will just get distracted after a few seconds, just like how she’ll forget getting scolded once she sees food. Later, when we tell her off, she’ll restrain herself. Let’s take it that she’s talking nonsense.”

Jiang An had no choice but to do so. She replied in a low voice, “I’ll talk to her later. It’s fine if there aren’t many people in private. This is the Zou family, and there are many servants serving them. If people talk too much, it’ll be complicated.”

During lunch, Jiang An ignored Jiang Yu’s wishes and forcefully placed her by her side.

There was barely any noise at the dining table. They only chatted occasionally, and it seemed extremely quiet.

After dinner, Zou Bai stood up and was about to speak when Wen Li seemed to know that he wanted to leave. She quickly said, “Zou Bai, bring An’an around.

The last time she came was more than 20 years ago. She probably doesn’t remember.”

After saying that, Wen Li held Li Mei’s hand and said, “Li Mei, I’m going overseas to attend a charity banquet next week. Accompany me to my room to pick out some clothes and see what jewelry is suitable.”

Li Mei looked at Jiang An worriedly.

Wen Li immediately teased, “Aiyo, Li Mei, An’an is already so old, yet you’re still worried. Besides, my house is impenetrable. Are you afraid that she’ll get lost? Quickly accompany me to choose. I’m in a dilemma. 1 need you to help me come up with new ideas.”

Zou Bai glanced sideways at Jiang An. “Let’s go. 1’11 show you around..”
