Although Qi Zhenghan and Huo Yingjie dislike each other, they both act very well on the surface.

It's all just a pretense; at least others won't see that there's a disagreement.

He Tiantian even thought that Huo Yingjie had changed his ways, and that he could now face his former rival in love so calmly.

Lunch was very lavish, and Qi Zhengmin ate dishes he had never eaten before. He would often ask Zhang Aijun about the origin and ingredients of each dish.

Seeing that everyone enjoyed his cooking, Zhang Aijun naturally spoke freely and without reservation.

After finishing his meal, Huo Yingjie picked up his luggage and prepared to leave.

Qi Zhenghan hadn't left yet. Seeing Huo Yingjie leave, he mischievously raised an eyebrow at him.

Furious, Huo Yingjie went to the train station, holding his breath.

"Yingjie, take care on your journey and take good care of yourself," He Tiantian said softly. "This bag contains braised meat that I prepared for you. You can give some to Chief Engineer Sun and keep some for yourself. Eat on time and take good care of your health."

"I've got it." Huo Yingjie nodded and picked up the food He Tiantian had prepared for her.

It weighs over ten kilograms and contains not only braised meat but also many pastries and snacks.

He Tiantian wasn't sad about leaving this time, since she could see him again next week anyway.

"Goodbye, Dad." Huo Ruimin hugged his father's neck tightly and kissed Huo Yingjie several times.

"Dad, come back soon," Huo Ruihua whispered.

Qi Zhenghan saw the two children surrounding Huo Yingjie and had long forgotten how much fun they had played with him earlier.

They are definitely related by blood; it's something to be envied.

Qi Zhenghan secretly wondered if his future child would be just as adorable.

Sigh, that seems a bit too far. I need to find a mother for the child first.

Afterwards, Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin took their leave.

He Tiantian was in a good mood. The thought that Huo Yingjie could come back every week instead of every six months made her smile.

Huo Zhekun, Jiang Lifang, and Grandma Wang were also very happy.

As for the two children, they became even more arrogant and rampant.

When He Tiantian refused to give them snacks, the two little ones actually said to her, "Mom is stingy, Dad will beat you up!"

"Hmph!" He Tiantian scoffed, "You two shouldn't be so arrogant. When your father comes back, I'll beat him up too. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves."

The two children didn't believe in superstitions; they thought that when their father came, he would secretly give them treats and would side with them.

So they waited anxiously for their father to come home.

It was another weekend, and Huo Yingjie came home in the evening.

On Saturday morning, Huo Yingjie woke up to find his two children complaining.

Huo Yingjie listened, seemingly understanding but not quite. These two kids were so bold, actually inciting him to beat his wife. This was unacceptable, unacceptable.

He Tiantian was washing up when she heard two little tattletales complaining.

They wereted their time and effort.

Huo Yingjie had two beads of sweat on his forehead. He secretly glanced at He Tiantian in the washroom and met her warning look.

"Son, daughter, you're still young. When you grow up, you'll understand that your mother is doing this for your own good," Huo Yingjie comforted her. "Besides, your mother is the boss in our family. I can't beat her!"

"Dad, you're so tall and strong, how can you not beat Mom?" Huo Ruimin asked incredulously, her eyes wide.

Huo Ruihua also looked at his father with suspicion.

Huo Yingjie nodded and said, "I can't beat them. Look, your mother glared at me, and I got really scared."

Huo Yingjie shrank his neck.

Huo Ruimin was a little disappointed. He had originally hoped that his father could beat his mother and that his father's doting on them would allow them to eat snacks and treats whenever they wanted.

"And another thing, what you're doing is wrong," Huo Yingjie said, seizing the opportunity. "If Mom knew you wanted to hit her, she would be very sad and would become someone else's mother, abandoning you. Then no one would take you out to play, no one would cook delicious food for you, no one would buy you clothes, and no one would tell you stories."

Huo Yingjie couldn't bring himself to hit these two heartless little devils, so he could only try to coax them gently.

Sigh, maybe he's too strict with Tian Tian. He'll try to talk to her privately later.

The two children's eyes widened as they recalled what their father had said.

After a long while, Huo Ruimin whispered, "Dad, will Mom really leave us?"

"If you're naughty and you hit her, she'll be very sad and will become someone else's mother instead of yours," Huo Yingjie said, trying to scare the two children.

Huo Ruihua thought for a moment and said, "Actually, eating fewer snacks is good for your teeth."

"Yes, I will eat more meals and less snacks from now on," Huo Ruimin said. "Dad, please don't hit Mom anymore. Mom is such a good person!"

“Yes, yes, beating your wife is not a good thing,” Huo Ruihua quickly chimed in, her delicate face serious.

Huo Yingjie was dumbfounded. It was clearly these two little brats who wanted to rebel, how did it become him wanting to beat his wife?

That's not all; the two little ones even ran to their mother to complain that their father was going to hit her.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

However, He Tiantian dealt a stern blow to her son and daughter's lying, saying, "I heard it clearly just now, you were going to hit Mom. Mom loves you so much, and you let Dad hit me, Mom is very sad."

When Huo Ruimin heard his mother say that, his eyes lit up and he said, "Mom, Aunt Jingli said that 'spare the rod and spoil the child' means that she loves you, but it doesn't mean she really hits you! How can you be so stupid!"

"You have quite a few reasons," He Tiantian said reproachfully. "You have two choices: first, a week off from snacks; second, I'm going to be someone else's mother. You can choose one."

After careful consideration, Huo Ruimin and Huo Ruihua, the two little ones, said, "We choose the first one!"

He Tiantian was even more dumbfounded. These two little rascals are really thoughtful. Don't they know they can cheat?

“Okay, this is your choice,” He Tiantian said. “Alright, Mom needs to wash up, you can go out now.”

"Oh!" The two children left the washroom dejectedly.

Huo Yingjie even tried to secretly give the child snacks, which infuriated He Tiantian.

"How am I supposed to raise my child if you do this?" He Tiantian frowned, feeling that Huo Yingjie was undermining her.

Huo Yingjie chuckled awkwardly and said, "Sweetie, don't you think you're being too strict with the child?"

"Strict?" He Tiantian laughed in exasperation. "You have no idea how infuriating and mischievous they are. I won't even mention the past, just look at this past month alone. Ruimin and Ruihua's teeth have already hurt twice, which is why we're not giving them too much candy. And what's more, they've been secretly using the slingshot at home to hit other people's kids, and two families have already come to complain; and that's not all, just the day before yesterday, they carried some bricks in front of their house at night, and someone riding a bicycle at night fell down..."
