After saying this, Lin Xiao immediately changed his expression, a warm and hospitable smile appearing on his face, "Come, come, let's eat. Uncle, try my cooking. My skills are far better than any state banquet chef."
Normally at home, Lin Xiao appeared to be a gentle and easy-going person. However, the Lin Xiao just now was full of aggression and possessed a strong sense of territoriality.
"Ah... okay."
Li Jiaxian's smile was exceptionally awkward and forced. This sudden change in demeanor left him a bit unsettled. However, the blatant threat he had just received made it clear to him that he absolutely couldn't act rashly.
"Dad, try a bite quickly," Li Shuxiao also urged. She was sweating nervously in her heart. This was the first time she had seen Lin Xiao like that, as if he were protecting his own cubs.
Everyone knew about her cousin's situation, but given the Luo family's current status and the vastness of the Luo Corporation, others wouldn't dare to speak carelessly.
"Mmm..."
As Li Jiaxian picked up his chopsticks, his demeanor was clearly distracted. He seemed to be deep in thought.
After the meal, Lin Xiao, as usual, prepared to take the little one out for a walk, and then return to cultivate diligently.
Upon hearing that Lin Xiao was going out for a walk, Li Jiaxian quickly followed suit, saying, "Oh, that's perfect timing. I brought a lot of things when I came and didn't bring any cigarettes or alcohol. Lin Xiao, is there a supermarket nearby? I'll go buy some cigarettes."
"Yes, I'll take you."
Lin Xiao nodded. He couldn't be bothered to figure out what Li Jiaxian was up to. After all, if the man had any intentions of acting out of line, Lin Xiao would immediately drive him away.
He had previously thought that since they were relatives, some things could be let go. However, since this uncle enjoyed speaking cryptically and using veiled words, there was no need for him to hold back.
Judging from the situation just now, even if he drove the man away, Luo Qinghan would absolutely not complain.
"Thank you," Li Jiaxian said, and then he quickly followed Lin Xiao out the door.
"Sister... please bear with him," Li Shuxiao didn't know what else to say. She could only approach her cousin to comfort her, her words punctuated by heavy breaths. "I apologize on his behalf. He wasn't careful with his words just now."
"It's alright."
Luo Qinghan shook her head. She didn't want to say much. As for Li Shuxiao's mention of him not being like this usually, she believed it. She also believed that her uncle was simply sizing people up and acting accordingly. He usually didn't act like this because he had never interacted with people he dared to provoke.
For instance, after Lin Xiao spoke, he didn't dare to say another word. During the meal, he felt pressured by Lin Xiao. He was not only chewing slowly but also, on several occasions, when he wanted to speak, he would fall silent the moment he saw Lin Xiao.
"Your father is your father, and you are you. Don't worry, we are all relatives, and no one will do anything excessive," Luo Qinghan patted her shoulder reassuringly. "How was the food tonight?"
"Delicious, exceptionally delicious!"
Li Shuxiao said, while she hurriedly gulped down a glass of water. Her lips were now bright red, more vibrant than most lipstick.
