Luo Buyu’s eyes fell upon Dongfang Bai the first time he saw him. He paused for a moment, as if to confirm he wasn't mistaken.
Then he hurried downstairs and approached the table, asking cautiously, "May I ask, are you Mr. Dongfang?"
"Yes."
Dongfang Bai sat composedly, bringing the teacup in his hand slowly to his lips and nodding.
It really was Dongfang Bai?!
Luo Buyu couldn't comprehend what was happening.
Yesterday, two people from the Ximen and Beitang families had arrived, and today, Dongfang Bai was also here. And it was clear that Dongfang Bai was also waiting for Lin Xiao to make breakfast.
This meant they would be having breakfast together shortly.
This was what he found unsettling.
Lin Xiao…
Could he truly be the Dragon King?
But even if he were the Dragon King, it was unlikely that these individuals, who had once established great military merits and stood on the rostrum during military parades every year, would proactively come to his home.
He clearly remembered last night; the two of them had been drinking quite heavily, and in that manner, they were definitely not treating Lin Xiao as an outsider.
And today, Dongfang Bai was here as well…
He would have to remind Li Xin later not to say anything out of line.
Soon, the rest of the family also woke up.
Regarding the addition of another person at the family’s breakfast table, everyone was already accustomed to it. Many such occurrences had happened in the past few days, with different people visiting their home every day.
Breakfast and dinner were unpredictable.
And each visitor appeared to be of extraordinary status.
Lin Xiao explained quietly to Luo Qinghan. Luo Qinghan had already grown accustomed to it. She now understood that as the wife of the Dragon King, such matters would merely be minor, everyday occurrences from now on.
Before long, perhaps the aroma of breakfast was too enticing, Beitang Li was the first to emerge from his room.
"Lin kid, why didn't you call me to eat breakfast?"
He walked down yawning, then saw Dongfang Bai sitting at the table and immediately sobered up: "Why are you here too?"
"If you can be here, why can't I?" Dongfang Bai retorted, "Was drinking last night enjoyable?"
"Of course it was enjoyable… How did you know?"
Beitang Li seemed to recall something unpleasant. He rushed to the room where Ximen Huanyan's scent lingered and knocked: "You old scoundrel, get up! Damn it, my embarrassing drunken state from drinking with you was witnessed by that bastard from the Dongfang family!"
"What?!"
Ximen Huanyan, who had just woken up in the room, heard this and immediately sprang out of bed. He appeared by the dining table like a gust of wind.
"Yuck…"
Xun'er immediately covered her nose, saying with disgust, "It smells so bad!"
"Xun'er!"
Luo Buyu quickly grabbed Xun'er's hand, covering her mouth to prevent her from speaking carelessly. He then apologized with a fawning smile, "My apologies, Old Mr. Ximen, my granddaughter is still young and doesn't know any better…"
"Ximen Huanyan, look at yourself, you reek of alcohol, even the child is unhappy. What, you wouldn't bully a child who is a hundred years younger than you, would you?" Dongfang Bai seized the moment to add fuel to the fire.
"I… Of course not!"
A flicker of embarrassment crossed Ximen Huanyan's face. He then quickly looked at Lin Xiao: "Young friend Lin, may I use your bathroom?"
