Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Banquet (2)
“Huian! Were you sleeping, darling?” Ye Shun, who was out on a walk, immediately picked up the call of his daughter when he saw who was calling him.

His mood, which was sunken like a sinking ship because Qin Qiu had once again succeeded in disgusting him, suddenly brightened when he heard the voice of his daughter.

“Mhmm,” Luo Huian replied, she truly did not understand why Ye Shun liked her so much. She was completely different from his daughter and yet he still seemed to pamper her in ways that Luo Huian could not explain.

“I just finished taking a bath,” she relayed to him. He was not her dad and was completely different from Jia Bo who would turn the world upside down if someone was to hurt her.

Like the time when she was whipped.

And yet Luo Huian couldn’t bring herself to push him away. Because somewhere Ye Shun reminded her of Jia Bo.

Though Luo Huian only relayed what and how she started her day, Ye Shun was still overjoyed. His daughter was finally willing to talk to him. In the past how many times had he tried to get close to his daughter?

And yet his daughter who was always on edge continued to ignore him.

His Little An was really cute when she was young but then everything changed when she awakened as an F rank and insecurities gripped her heart.

“Little An, I am so proud of you,” said Ye Shun happily as he walked down the street which led to the park where he usually went. “You have done a great job, taking a bath without making a fuss, daddy is really happy.” Ye Shun was speaking as if he was talking to a child.

He turned left and missed the three women who were following him as there was a large fence made of concrete which blocked the three women perfectly.

Luo Huian: “…”

“I don’t think I have done anything that deserves praise?” Luo Huian said to Ye Shun.

Just how low were his expectations from her that even doing a benign task such as taking a bath was worth enough for her to be praised?

However a second later Luo Huian received an answer that shocked her to her core.

“Of course, you deserve to be praised. In the past when I used to ask you to take a bath, you would often get angry and would not take a bath for mon—weeks.”

“You said months,”

“No…no… I meant to say weeks.”

“I heard it loud and clear!”

“You might have misheard darling.”

Luo Huian was speechless. She raised her head and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Was her predecessor such a disgusting person? She actually did not take baths for months?

Eww.

Luo Huian, who was used to washing herself with the dew water from the realm of elves, could never understand how a person could even go without taking a bath for months.

No wonder Ye Shun was praising her for doing something so simple.

If he was used to seeing Luo Huian frolicking around while rolling in the mud like a pig, then certainly her taking a bath on her ‘own’ was indeed worth praising in Ye Shun’s eyes.

“Anyway, Little An. I called you because your mother is thinking of holding a banquet for you,” said Ye Shun with a slight frown on his face. It was as if the very idea of holding a banquet made him annoyed.

Ye Shun’s words caused Luo Huian to frown as well. She paused and asked, “Why?”

Why would that woman hold a banquet for her? Did she not hate her? In fact, the way she spoke to Luo Huian was as if the two of them were sworn enemies.

If not for the fact that Luo Huian knew that the two of them were mother and daughter, she would have thought that there was some sort of mix-up. After all, how could a woman hate her own daughter?

“She said that she wanted to reintroduce you to everyone in her circle,” explained Ye Shun with a sigh. “I think that after what happened at the Cheng family banquet where your cousin Meifeng was engaged to Cheng Mingyu, your mother wants to earn back the lost face of the Luo family.”

“I have to say that Madam Cheng did say a lot of harsh things back then and it embarrassed your mother. Most likely, this banquet is arranged for that woman. I heard from your mother’s assistant that Madam Cheng had been trying to curry favour with your mother.”

“Of course if you do not want to then you can refuse. Your mother must have called you already.”

So that’s why that woman had called her at four freaking thirty in the morning?

Luo Huian was exasperated, she did not know what kind of attitude Luo Yeqing had towards her. It was not right to say that Luo Yeqing hated her daughter but at the same time she could not say that the woman liked her either.

“I will think about it?” Luo Huian could only offer this, as she had a bunch of things to deal with and certainly, she had no desire to participate in a banquet.

There used to be banquets in the immortal realm as well. Those days were really haunting for Luo Huian, after all, on that day she not only had to fast for an entire day.

She also had to eat bitter food and drink bitter soups to wash off the dirt and impurities inside her body.

They also have to kneel for eight hours in the banquet hall and listen to Grand Elder Luo chant all kinds of scriptures.

It was hellish.

But Luo Huian suppressed her desire to bunk the banquet like a certain someone and participated in every single banquet. After all, those were the rules.

“Then shall I tell your mother to cancel the Michelin chef?” Ye Shun asked tentatively.

Michelin chef?

“Why is there a chef?” Luo Huian asked.

“Why would there not be a chef? Who would cook your favourite sour and sweet braised pork and every other dish?” Ye Shun asked back, mirroring the confusion of his daughter. “Do you think your daddy can cook your favourite food?”

Braised pork? There were no bitter soups in this world?

Instead, there was meat? She liked eating meat.

“I will join the banquet!”
