The package has assigned me way too many objects.

Heinrich replied crisply, "Yes, just let me know if you change your mind later. Let's begin our meal."

And so, this seemingly very important matter was resolved in just a few words thanks to Heinrich's decisive nature.

But Chu Yinan's expression turned serious, because he regretted that his school uniform pants had zippers (referring to the zippers on the pockets to prevent important things from falling out).

This is a meal with outsiders! You shouldn't do this even at home!

Suddenly, the woman, Ragren, said, "Little Chu Yinan looks so serious, is he hungry?"

“…Uh, right!” Chu Yinan’s face stiffened, but he forced a smile and lightly bumped Heinrich’s two mounds of fat with the back of his head. “Heinrich, I want to eat!”

"Then you eat by yourself, do you want me to feed you? Or should I put you down and you eat standing up?"

How am I supposed to stand up now! Something's going to happen if I don't get out of the tablecloth's cover!

"This is fine to eat..."

Chapter 67 Aunt Opens Champagne

Chu Yinan was forced to bury his head in his food, trying to hide the turmoil in his expression.

Honestly, self-comfort doesn't really feel like anything. Otherwise, what would be the point of spellcasting materials like notebooks, videos, and audio recordings? But once the spellcasting process is done by someone else's hands, especially a pair of soft, delicate hands, those spellcasting materials become superfluous.

It's strange and heartbreaking. This situation can be understood as the original wife having two wives, one on the left and one on the right, but not as satisfying as someone else having two wives, one on the left and one on the right.

This is betrayal, and also a form of necromancy.

The atmosphere at the dinner table remained relaxed, but the conversation was starting to steer slightly toward him.

Heinrich forked a small dish from the plate, took a bite, and then said to Bachmann:

"I heard from Xiao Chu Nan that there was a school doctor named Bachman. I was a little scared. I thought you were planning to seduce me and get revenge on me."

Bachmann responded with a smile, though he felt a little guilty, a feeling that also lingered in Iori Risa's expression.

Because they had a lot of close interactions with Xiao Chunan, you could say they were a little too close, but they didn't have any intention of seduce other people's children.

Isn't this just normal teacher-student interaction?

"No, rather, I was quite surprised when I found out that Xiao Chunan was related to you. How did you meet? I think it was when he was having a medical check-up, and he happened to run into some mentally unstable idol fans causing trouble."

"Really? I thought he only started hanging around you when he was doing his internship assignments. He was asked to sell several sets of lingerie, and they were all very expensive ones. Most people would probably have chased him away if they heard the prices."

Hearing the woman's words, Chu Yinan recalled for a moment and realized that those sets of underwear were really extraordinary. If it weren't for Aunt Liu's internship assignment, Chu Yinan felt that he really wouldn't have been able to get to know so many older women.

Aunt Morgan was mainly drinking and eating, but when she heard a topic that interested her, she looked curiously at Heinrich and Bachmann: "What underwear?"

Heinrich, too lazy to explain, pinched his son's cheek and told him to do it. Chu Yinan, without complaint, took a deep breath and adjusted his tone before saying:

"Glory Island doesn't have this rule. Other artificial islands require students to have an internship period, which is to experience the work. I just slacked off at Aunt Liu's place. During my internship, I just sold a few sets of expensive underwear."

The pricing of those few sets of content alone limited the range of people he could reach. They were either rich aunties or rich older sisters. Apart from well-off families like Iori Risa, if he were to sell to other teachers, even if they could afford it, they wouldn't buy it because it would take up too much of their monthly salary.

Morgan put down his glass, nodded to indicate that he understood, and looked at him with a hint of reproach:

"Then why didn't you come to see your aunt? Who did you ask to do the sales?"

"I hadn't even been back to my family home yet, so how would I know my aunt? As for sales, I think the school doctor from Bachmann and teacher Iori even asked Yutang to help me boost my sales!"

Chu Yinan decided not to mention the prosecutor and the Jiang family mother and daughter, feeling that if he did, he would be questioned even more, and the current situation was already very bad.

It can only be said that Heinrich had a keen eye for people and was very shrewd and ruthless in his manipulation of him. Whenever he was about to give up, Heinrich would stop and let him rest. When he wanted to force himself to calm down and rest, Heinrich would force him to get energetic again.

It's very frustrating to be stuck in that in-between state.

"Heinrich, aren't you hungry?" Chu Yinan asked, but his tone carried a slight hint of accusation, though he didn't dare to show it too obviously.

"I'm not particularly hungry. I'm used to eating out, so I'm not really used to the elaborate dishes prepared by restaurant chefs. I do need to go to the restroom now." Heinrich made a move to get up.

The seats weren't particularly close together. Although Aunt Raglan was next to Heinrich, they were quite far apart, while Aunt Morgan was very close. If Chu Yinan didn't have Heinrich as a cushion to elevate him, he would be exposed in no time.

In this state, there's no way he can go back inside the zipper! Chu Yinan is a man who can bend and stretch, but unfortunately, when he has to be tough, it's hard for him to bend.

He quickly pressed his hand against Heinrich's thigh, the firm touch of his thigh transmitted through his suit trousers, and he stopped him, saying, "You're not allowed to go!"

Bachmann looked at Xiao Chunan with surprise and said, quite unexpectedly:

"I never expected Xiao Chunan to be so attached to Heinrich. Is he an awkward child in front of Heinrich? When he first came in, I thought he didn't really want to sit with Heinrich."

“That’s how rebellious phases are; they’re both adorable and fun when they’re being honest or dishonest,” Heinrich chuckled softly.

Morgan's observational skills weren't so poor that she couldn't sense anything. She had previously interacted with her adorable nephew who could change size. Sticky with Heinrich? That's a bit of a joke; he's probably more attached to his sister.

So there must be another reason why he refuses to let Heinrich leave.

The beautiful woman glanced at Heinrich a few more times and soon noticed that her left hand had never left the tablecloth. She seemed to be holding her son, and the movement was natural, but it was also very unnatural.

No matter what, Xiao Chunan isn't the kind of baby who can't sit still without support.

"Heinrich, if you need to go to the bathroom, go ahead. Let me hold Xiao Chunan and play with him for a bit."

Heinrich deliberately touched the knife with his little finger, getting a little bit of the grilling sauce on it, and then casually wiped his hands with a handkerchief without attracting any attention (except from Morgan).

"Okay, I'll only give it to you for a little while. You'll have to return it to me when I get back, so be careful."

What followed was a seemingly casual but actually very careful handover of the "toy." Throughout the entire process of Chu Yinan being placed in Aunt Morgan's arms, the tablecloth never left his body.

There's a saying that goes something like this: if a little boy doesn't work hard, he'll become a plaything for weird older women. Chu Yinan is probably in that situation right now.

Chu Yinan thought that Heinrich would find a way to help him calm down, or that she would let him cool down on his own after she got tired of playing with him. Who would have thought that Heinrich would get tired of playing with him and just hand him over to his aunt to play with!

Morgan had anticipated this, and after embracing Xiao Chunan, he wasn't surprised. He continued the conversation at the dinner table, while under the table, Heinrich took over and continued playing with the little one.

But this beautiful woman clearly didn't know him as well as Heinrich did, and her understanding of him wasn't quite accurate.

"Oops, I accidentally opened the champagne for Xiao Chunan~?" Morgan said ambiguously.

"What champagne?" Ragren replied, curious about Morgan's abrupt question.

"It's nothing serious. Heinrich gave Xiao Chunan a bottle of champagne a while ago, and I kept it there. I suddenly remembered that I accidentally opened it for him a while ago, and the white foam spilled all over the floor."

Chapter 68 Seizing the Son

Chu Yinan's face was ashen, and he had no will to live.

In his eyes, the two members of the Lefebvre family had transformed into female succubi... no, female demons! They were only concerned with inflicting suffering on those around them according to their own interests and preferences.

What are we going to do with him now? We'll just pop champagne into his mouth!

Heinrich had already preheated the fuse to the point where it would ignite at the slightest touch, but then his aunt took over and immediately went for the highest setting. What could he do?

The good news is that, apart from his aunt, no one has noticed anything unusual about him.

Here I have to commend the meticulous engineering of this upscale restaurant. These restaurants know the class of their guests and are all as subservient as sycophants. To avoid the situation where "guests' metabolic emissions cause an awkward end to the meal and they take their anger out on the restaurant," each table floor has a ventilation system that operates quietly and discreetly.

So the unusual smell didn't leak out at all. The only thing to worry about is how to get off the tablecloth.

"Good boy/girl, is there anything you'd like to eat?" Aunt Morgan sounded very happy.

Morgan's words naturally drew the attention of Ms. Iori and the others. Chu Yinan's face flushed, and she said hotly:

"I...I ate a little too fast, I'm full now."

The dishes on the table had already reached the milkshake ice cream topped with fruit syrup. Two scoops of ice cream were sculpted into the shape of small animals, and the fruit syrup made them sticky.

The mature aunt scooped up some fruit puree with a spoon and poured it onto the little animal's head, playing with its sticky head. She asked:

"How about we go back to Glory Island tonight? I heard you were at the manor with your sister, Marissa, last time. We can invite her along this time."

If things had gone as they always have, Chu Yinan felt he would have gotten into trouble with his aunt tonight! And even if he was reckless and wanted to test the rich woman's limits, Aunt Liu had already arranged for him to go home early that night.

I have no choice but to refuse!

With a hint of trepidation, Chu Yinan thought of his Aunt Morgan's husband, who had been in an "accidental" car accident, and his worry intensified. He cautiously said:

"Aunt Liu told me to go back earlier, next time... no, on the weekend, like Friday, is that okay?"

To let Aunt Morgan know that his "next time" really meant there would be a next time, he even took the initiative to set the time.

"No problem~"

Lady Raglan began asking about Xiao Chunan's relationship with the Lefie family. After all, nobles usually knew each other to some extent, especially about the important relationships between important figures, but Xiao Chunan's existence was completely unknown to them.

Morgan said a few words, but basically it was something like "Heinrich brought them all back" and so on.

After exchanging only a few words, Morgan turned to Darlene, who had been waiting behind him, and said:

"Dalena, my stockings got snagged on the table leg. Could you come and help me untangle them?"

It's perfectly normal for stockings to get snagged; this happens regardless of the quality of the stockings. For ordinary people, a snag is nothing to worry about; they can simply replace it. But Chu Yinan's older sisters and aunts have gone through countless pairs of stockings.

However, as the face of the Leffe family, Morgan still had to pay attention to his image. If the stockings were to be forcibly pulled off, it could tear a large area. The least damaging solution was to have someone gently remove the part where the hook was stuck.

Of course, after saying all that, Morgan didn't actually hook up at all; he was just hinting to Darlene to deal with Xiao Chu Nan.

Darlena, who had been waiting behind the two local thugs of the Lefie family, naturally knew what kind of treatment her little brother was receiving; she had a clear understanding of the situation from her position.

Upon receiving Morgan's instructions, she softly replied "Okay," then crouched down to handle the situation, carefully shielding Xiao Chunan from view. After a quick glance to assess the situation, the black-haired, cold-faced maid slipped under the table without a change in expression.

Chu Yinan: "?!"

After a short while, having dealt with the problem of her master's stockings getting snagged, the maid stood up and returned to her original position, wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.

After Heinrich returned, everyone chatted for a few minutes, and then it was almost time to leave.

Chu Yinan became increasingly suspicious that there was something wrong with this dinner party. Heinrich's excuse of dealing with the relationship with Bachmann School Doctor was just a pretense; his real purpose was to bring his aunt along for fun!

------------

It was already eight o'clock when I got home, which wasn't very late.

Normally, at this time, the family would have finished eating, be sitting in the living room watching TV and chatting, and then get ready to take a shower.

Sometimes, sitting in the living room isn't because the TV programs are particularly good; it's simply to have background music and keep a few people company.

However, Yan Liu was quite anxious waiting for this long after getting off work. As soon as the door opened, she rushed over and hugged the baby in her arms.
