The mighty Dragon King was well-behaved at this moment.
There was nothing he could do; he had made a mistake.
However, he thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what had happened. Who had betrayed him? He vowed to teach that bastard a harsh lesson later. What was Jiang Tao doing? There was no discretion at all.
Or perhaps... Tian Jingtao knew his wife?
He reconsidered and realized that Tian Jingtao was indeed the most likely culprit!
That scoundrel not only had him followed on the way back but also pulled this stunt?
Good heavens, if he didn't teach him a good lesson, he wouldn't know how he became this War God?!
As he thought this, his aura subtly emanated, making the atmosphere at the entire dining table much heavier.
"Daddy?"
Xun'er, sitting beside him, was the most sensitive. She tugged at his sleeve, her voice filled with worry. She felt something was off with her daddy.
Being tugged by his daughter's sleeve, he immediately snapped back to reality.
His solemn expression then shifted into a sunny smile: "Sweetie, what's wrong?"
"Is there something you don't like to eat?"
As Lin Xiao's expression changed, the atmosphere at the dining table returned to normal.
"No... I just felt like Daddy wasn't in a good mood just now," Xun'er shook her head. Then, with great difficulty, she used both chopsticks and a spoon to place a chicken leg into Lin Xiao's bowl: "Daddy, eat! This chicken leg is delicious!"
As she spoke, she looked longingly at the chicken leg in Lin Xiao's bowl.
For a child, this was sharing her most beloved item with Lin Xiao.
However, her wistful gaze made Lin Xiao chuckle.
"No need, no need. Daddy eats plenty usually. Don't you remember, I made all the dishes on this table? I tasted them earlier to see how they were," Lin Xiao told a white lie.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Xun'er looked even more longingly at the large chicken leg in Lin Xiao's bowl.
Lin Xiao's chicken legs were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin and outer layer of meat were golden and crunchy, while the meat inside was fresh and delicious. Paired with his special chili sauce and seasoning, it had become one of Xun'er's favorite dishes.
Basically, if Xun'er didn't get to eat this chicken leg any day, she would pester Lin Xiao to make it for her as a late-night snack. So, he simply included it every day.
Luo Bing also loved these chicken legs.
Children's palates tended to be more pronounced.
So, Xun'er was now even more eagerly looking at the chicken leg in her own bowl. How could he not know what his daughter was thinking?
He reached out with his chopsticks and placed the chicken leg into his daughter's bowl: "You eat it."
"Thank you, Daddy!"
Xun'er said excitedly. She then picked up the disposable gloves from the table, put them on skillfully, grabbed the chicken leg, and began to devour it.
She had done this many times before.
"You, eat first," Luo Qinghan also tugged at Lin Xiao, "You seemed so unwilling when I wanted to talk to you about something?"
"No."
Lin Xiao quickly shook his head, "I was just thinking about some work matters, so I was a bit preoccupied."
"I understand, it's the nature of your work. But it's mealtime now, don't scare the child," Luo Qinghan nodded. She could understand Lin Xiao, but she didn't want this at the dinner table.
