Shen Ze's gaze lingered on Xiang Han's body for less than a second before moving away. The moment his eyes had swept over him, Xiang Han felt an unspeakable chill slither down his spine.

Nanny Xue Ling had just placed the breakfast on the table. Seeing Shen Ze come downstairs, she immediately went forward to help him button up his shirt. Her movements were extremely smooth and filled with familiarity, but the moment she stretched her arms before she even had the chance to touch his sleeves, he impatiently brushed her off.

Xue Ling laughed with helplessness as indulgence flashed in her eyes.

Shen Zheng Duo sat at the head of the dining table, reading his newspaper. He looked up, frowning in dissatisfaction when he saw this scene, "Sister Ling, he's not a child anymore. You don't have to constantly spoil him."

The smile on her face stiffened but she quickly nodded, "Understood."

Shen Ze directly avoided her and ignored Shen Zheng Duo, directly heading out.

Xue Ling quickly carried a cup of milk and chased after him. She said warmly, "Ah Ze, why don't you eat breakfast? Or, at least have some milk."

The veins on Shen Zheng Duo's forehead throbbed. Turning around, he saw Xiang Han still standing by the stairs before softening his attitude and forcing out a laugh, "Xiao Han, sit down and eat, your mother will come down in a while."

"Thank you, Uncle Shen," Xiang Han smiled shyly.

Shen Zheng Duo and the original host's mother had just gotten married not long ago and the original host was yet to get used to changing the way he addressed the other person.

Once Xiang Han sat down, he took a bite out of a sandwich with a complicated expression.

The things Xue Ling made were really...one of a kind. According to the system, Shen Ze was only six years old when Xue Ling began to take care of him. Xiang Han, whose taste buds had been honed by Luo Bai's cuisine, couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for him.

Xue Ling returned soon after with an empty cup.

Shen Zheng Duo saw this and his forehead tensed for one moment before relaxing. No one could tell what he was thinking.

The truth was, Shen Zheng Duo disliked the way nanny Xue Ling took care of Shen Ze. He felt like it was extreme pampering. However, he had himself already neglected Shen Ze for too long because of his company's affairs. By the time his busy schedule lightened, he realised that their father and son relationship had already drifted too far apart to be mended.

Shen Ze had an introverted personality. In Junior High, he went through a rebellious phase; skipping school, fighting, and even dying his hair blonde. Shen Zheng Duo wanted to step in but Shen Ze's attitude towards his critique had always been of 'from one ear inside to other ear out.' Sometimes, he would even refute him, angering him to the point where his liver hurt.

Thus, even though he held qualms about the way Xue Ling spoilt him, he still gave in after seeing how Shen Ze would at least listen to her words sometimes.

Soon, Zhu Jing Yi came downstairs and saw the two of them. Surprise flickered through her eyes but she kept silent.

When she first got together with Shen Zheng Duo, she had attempted to rope Shen Ze in. However, he did not reciprocate and constantly stared at her like she was an unavoidable enemy, causing her to quickly give up on the idea. In the end, as his step mother, she believed the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. So, she might as well not say anything.
