Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

The little guy proudly looked over at Zhao Gushen, his shiny black eyes clearly saying: "See, I told you! I’m growing, I’m not getting fat!"

But that wasn’t the end, the little guy directly went to the grandparents to complain: "It’s Dad, he asked me if I was getting fat."

"Oh dear, he’s talking nonsense!" The old lady said without hesitation, "This isn’t fat!"

The old man directly reached out and pinched the little guy’s chubby wrist: "Look at our Xiao Mo, he’s so thin, his arm is too slender!"

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Zhao Gushen fiercely twitched the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Mo is only 5 years old this year, how can his arms not be slender?

To be honest, compared to peers, the little guy isn’t really fat.

At most, just a bit fleshy.

Still looks fairly well-proportioned.

The grandparents don’t limit his eating.

But with Ye Fei regulating meals, even if he eats more snacks and occasionally a late-night snack, he isn’t gaining much weight.

Especially since he’s growing fast, it’s his development stage.

Plus, he’s energetic.

His daily energy expenditure is significant.

So even if he eats a lot, he doesn’t really accumulate much fat.

Just appears as a soft, very cute little child.

"You have a lot of physical activity, you need to eat more to maintain it." The old lady added some chilled bean sprouts to Xiao Mo’s plate.

The little guy is great, except he doesn’t like eating vegetables.

Which leads to an imbalance in nutrition.

Although there are various vitamin supplements, it’s not the same as getting nutrition from eating vegetables.

Picky eating, the old lady feels uneasy.

Fortunately, the little guy is very filial.

As long as the grandparents serve him vegetables, even if he doesn’t like them, he will eat them all.

No matter how much they give him, he eats it all.

Zhao Gushen thought, with this feeding method, it’s more surprising if he doesn’t get fat.

With Zhao Gushen back, the old lady remembered something.

She asked Zhao Gushen: "Now that you’re back, are you and Xiao Fei moving back tonight?"

The old lady intentionally didn’t mention the little guy.

Zhao Gushen instantly understood.

Zhao Gushen has been seizing every chance to have the little guy stay over, so he and Ye Fei can have some couple time.

Upon hearing the old lady’s question, Zhao Gushen immediately said: "If you’re reluctant to part with Xiao Mo, let him stay here for a few days."

The little guy is so filial and knows how to please the grandparents.

His relationship with them is incredibly good.

Whenever there’s anything, the grandparents always side with him.

Just like earlier, the grandparents outright lied with open eyes saying the little guy hasn’t gained any weight.

If the little guy doesn’t stay, he wouldn’t be deserving of the grandparents’ affection.

Zhao Gushen is truly cunning.

The little guy may not grasp Zhao Gushen’s hidden motives.

But it’s true, as Zhao Gushen thought, he couldn’t bring himself to reject the grandparents.

Although he likes his great-grandparents very much, he doesn’t want to leave Ye Fei.

Upon hearing Zhao Gushen say that, suddenly his oily dough stick didn’t taste crispy anymore.

So, the little guy hung his head, silently gnawing at his dough stick, occasionally nibbling some pea shoots.

Nevertheless, the grandparents did not intend to make things difficult for the little guy.

The old lady directly, without malice, said to Zhao Gushen: "You’re such a disrespectful grandson, trying to make us the bad guys separating Xiao Fei and her child? You’re trying to drive a wedge between us, aren’t you?"

The old lady wondered, they haven’t done anything to Zhao Gushen.

Why is Zhao Gushen doing this to them?

Just goes to show that rascal is getting more and more dastardly, not even sparing them!

Zhao Gushen: "..."

He didn’t mean it!

How can the old lady falsely accuse him!

"I didn’t mean that." Zhao Gushen hurriedly said, "You two aren’t unwilling to part with Xiao Mo?"

"We don’t want to part with Xiao Mo, but does that mean you want to separate Xiao Fei and Xiao Mo?" The old man glared at Zhao Gushen, his eyes wide open.

"Why don’t you think of letting Xiao Fei stay as well?" The old man said, "I think your grandma is right, you want to sow discord between us!"

"Make Xiao Fei dislike us, make Xiao Mo distant from us too." The old man said.

Zhao Gushen: "What a stretch!"

This early morning misery hit him out of nowhere!

Pitifully, Zhao Gushen said: "Grandpa, Grandma, you two don’t want Xiao Fei and Xiao Mo to be apart, but are okay with us as a couple being apart?"

The old man chuckled: "You’re so smart, you should know what to do."

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Initially, just wanted some couple time, even adding a little guy wasn’t too bad.

Didn’t expect, now have to add the whole family.

Zhao Gushen sighed and said: "Then Xiao Fei and I will also stay, and when you two get tired of us, we’ll leave?"

The old man immediately showed a satisfied expression.

The change was so quick, it was mesmerizing for Zhao Gushen to witness.

Just moments ago, he was glaring at him like a bad descendant.

Now he was very pleased.

Zhao Gushen realized, the old man was quite the actor too.

Previously, it was always the old lady doing that.

"We won’t keep you for long." The old lady said, her tone sounding as if she was disdainfully dismissing them.

Of course, Zhao Gushen felt, the disdain was probably aimed solely at him.

Zhao Gushen touched his face, unsure why the world changed so fast.

He only went on a business trip for a few days.

How did he come back to all this emotional upheaval?

Zhao Gushen immediately anxiously glanced at Ye Fei, hoping she hadn’t changed towards him!

Zhao Gushen even doubted if he came to the wrong house.

Ye Fei looked at Zhao Gushen with a teasing smile, her gaze soft, still the familiar image Zhao Gushen was used to.

Only then did Zhao Gushen feel relieved.

The old lady then said: "You two stay until this weekend, when your fourth uncle brings Xiao Yun over for dinner, and after that you can leave with them."

The old lady also knows living together might be inconvenient for the young ones.

If it weren’t for the affection for Xiao Mo, the grandparents wouldn’t have imposed.

Zhao Gushen and the little guy finished breakfast and went out together.

Ye Fei remembered Li Xiaoyun, wondering how her stomach-soothing porridge was coming along.

So she called Li Xiaoyun.

Since the old house is relatively far from Changping and the little guy’s kindergarten.

So they left earlier than usual.

Actually, it was only 7:40.

Li Xiaoyun was watching the stove in the kitchen when she got Ye Fei’s call.

She woke up today before 5 AM.

It was still dark outside.

Luckily, she had prepped the ingredients needed for breakfast the night before.

Just needed to take them out of the fridge and into the pot.

All she had to do was watch the fire properly, preventing any danger.

Nothing major otherwise.

Li Xiaoyun unexpectedly experienced an inkling of married life.
