Chapter 2785: Chapter 926: Explanation

As expected, the large kitchen had two chefs cooking inside.

Zhou Dachuan was also wearing an apron, gesturing as he directed.

In fact, a person like him wearing an apron looked rather amusing.

Yet, his serious demeanor somehow enhanced a touch of kindly air.

Just like a father in an ordinary household.

When Zhou Dachuan turned around, he saw Lu Yinxing and Ah Yan.

Zhou Dachuan’s face broke into a smile: "Yinxing, you’re here, have a seat, dinner is almost ready. I didn’t know what you like, so I just made something casually."

When the dishes were served one by one, Lu Yinxing realized how exaggerated this "casually" was.

Lu Yinxing sat down: "These abalone and lobsters were selected by myself at the seafood market this morning, and the beef was just airlifted in the afternoon, Yinxing, you must eat more."

Looking at the lavish spread on the table, Lu Yinxing felt a bit uneasy.

Lu Yinxing wanted to get straight to the point: "Uncle Zhou, actually, I’ve come today to tell you something."

Still smiling, Zhou Dachuan replied: "Don’t rush to say anything, let’s talk after dinner. Uncle Zhou has worked hard all day, so you won’t refuse my hospitality, will you?"

Lu Yinxing was speechless.

Indeed, this was Zhou Dachuan’s heartfelt gesture.

Moreover, what she was about to say might not be all too pleasant.

Maybe it would even spoil Zhou Dachuan’s appetite.

Lu Yinxing forced a smile: "Alright, let’s eat first."

The Zhou family’s cooking was indeed excellent, each dish was not only aesthetically pleasing but also tasted first-rate.

Ah Yan remained silent the whole evening.

Lu Yinxing, on the other hand, chatted quite congenially with Zhou Dachuan.

They were almost finished when.

Lu Yinxing suddenly poured herself a glass of wine, then stood up: "Uncle Zhou, I must toast you with this glass. Without your life-saving assistance, my brother and I might not have survived. Yinxing is grateful for your great kindness and will never forget it."

Zhou Dachuan gazed at Lu Yinxing, his smile warm and gentle: "Child, what are you saying, among us there’s no need for formality."

Lu Yinxing tilted her head back, gulping down the white wine in one go.

Actually, Lu Yinxing couldn’t handle alcohol.

Her tolerance was poor.

But today, without a drink, the words to follow would be hard to utter.

With one glass of wine down, Lu Yinxing felt as if her throat was ablaze.

Lu Yinxing continued speaking: "Uncle Zhou, there’s another thing I must say today. Ah Yan and I actually deceived you. I’m not Ah Yan’s girlfriend, and I’m not pregnant with his child. Ah Yan was momentarily anxious and lied to you. I know it was wrong of us to let you be happy for nothing, but Ah Yan and I are like family now. I will treat you as a father from now on and hope you forgive us and not blame Ah Yan." ℯℯ𝑙.

Lu Yinxing’s second glass of wine was only halfway to the air.

But Lu Yinxing could only watch Zhou Dachuan’s expression visibly collapse.

Zhou Dachuan’s face gradually turned solemn, and the atmosphere grew increasingly cold.

The person in front of her seemed no longer the kindly Uncle Zhou that Lu Yinxing knew.

Seeing this side of Zhou Dachuan, Lu Yinxing felt a sudden tremor of fear in her heart.

In the next moment, Zhou Dachuan suddenly stood up.
