Qingtian stared blankly at Mr. Cen, and was so frightened by the fake smile on his face that he stepped back repeatedly.

Mr. Cen just thought that she was young and shy, so he followed her closely and even took out a wooden figurine and insisted on stuffing it into her hand.

Qingtian’s back was already against the courtyard wall, with nowhere to retreat. Finally, he cried out “Wow!”

"Why are you crying?" Mr. Cen was confused. "Don't you like this doll? Then I'll change it for you!"

Seeing Elder Cen constantly taking out various things, Qingtian could only cry and shout: "Dad——"

Boss Ye was washing clothes in the backyard. When he heard Qingtian crying, he quickly got up and ran to the front yard while wiping his hands.

Halfway through his run, he heard his daughter calling for her father in a crying voice. He became even more anxious and ran out in two steps.

"What's wrong? Did you fall?" Boss Ye asked while running. When he ran out and saw Boss Cen, he subconsciously stopped.

As soon as Qingtian saw Boss Ye, she ran over crying, threw herself into his arms, and cried loudly.

Elder Cen, holding a diabolo in his hand, stood there awkwardly, saying, "I, I just bought a few toys for the child, but she doesn't seem to like any of them..."

Boss Ye frowned slightly, but still said calmly: "Her mother and I have always taught her not to accept things from outsiders, so she won't accept anything you give her."

"How can I be considered..." Mr. Cen wanted to say how could he be considered an outsider.

But then he thought again, as long as Madam You didn't recognize him, he would be an outsider to their family.

"Um, Madam You..." Old Cen wanted to ask Madam You where she had gone, but he thought that if she was in the house and came out to see that he had made her precious daughter cry, she would probably be even angrier.

On the contrary, when Boss Ye saw him like this, he suddenly said, "She went to talk to Mr. Jiang about something. Would you like to come in and sit down, and we can have a brief chat?"

Elder Cen didn't expect Elder Ye to make such a suggestion, but he came here to ease the relationship, so he agreed after a moment of hesitation.

Qingtian was a very easy-to-coax child. After Ye Lao Da walked a few steps back to his room from the yard, she had already burst into laughter.

Boss Ye took out a soft handkerchief and carefully wiped the tears from her face, then put her on the kang and let her play by herself.

Mr. Cen quickly put all the toys on the kang.

But Qingtian actually just took a quick glance and didn't look over here again. He just lowered his head and played with the jigsaw puzzle in his hand.

"Qingtian is such a good boy!" Mr. Cen finally got wise and learned to start by praising the child.

Upon hearing this, Boss Ye smiled at him and said, "Qingtian is indeed more well-behaved and obedient than most children."

When Mr. Cen heard this, he always felt that there was something wrong with his tone. It didn't sound like the boasting tone of an ordinary parent. Instead, there was a hint of regret in it?

Before he could think about it, he heard Ye Laoda say, "Sunny's mother usually has a good temper, but sometimes when she gets angry, she can be extremely stubborn.

"She didn't sleep well last night and tossed and turned until dawn.

"We have been married for more than ten years, and I understand her feelings.

"It's not that she doesn't trust you or doesn't want to recognize you, it's just..."

Boss Ye originally wanted to say that he just didn't like your attitude, but he was worried that it might be too direct.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat and said, "You are the elder after all. If you can be a little softer and more humble in your attitude, she will lose her temper."

“Ahem—”

Mr. Cen lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times to ease the embarrassment.

In fact, after Mrs. Ye left yesterday, Mr. Jiang said something similar.

But Old Cen has been strong for most of his life, and except for the nobles in the palace, he has never given in to anyone else.

So even though I know what they say makes sense, I still can't bring myself to do it.

Boss Ye also knew that today's conversation was actually difficult to carry out.

Mr. Cen is already so old, his temper cannot be changed easily.

But his wife didn't sleep well last night. When he woke up in the morning and saw the red bloodshot under her eyes, Boss Ye felt so distressed.

So no matter whether it was useful or not, he still planned to try his best to have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr. Cen.

“In fact, some of the things she said last night were half said and half kept.

"My father-in-law did change his name to You Sifang. At first, everyone saw that he was a good cook, so they did call him You Yidao for a while.

"But in fact, most people call him Crazy Traveler."

madman?

When Mr. Cen heard these two words, he thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately sat up straight.

"My wife has been forced by her father-in-law to learn how to cook since she was young. He even made her cut vegetables before she could even reach the chopping board.

"She's lucky she didn't lose any fingers!

“As she got older, her father’s madness got worse.

"But in order to support his family, he had to work as a cook in a restaurant.

“Every time he went, he had to take my wife with him because no one knew when he would go crazy.

“Later, when my wife was in her teens, my father-in-law was too crazy to cook.

Because he either mistakes sugar for salt or vinegar for soy sauce.

What no one understood at the time was that he only cooked vegetarian dishes and never meat dishes.

Once, when someone was preparing food, a piece of shredded meat accidentally fell into his plate, which was like disturbing a hornet's nest.

"My father-in-law went crazy in the kitchen, grabbing the other person and refusing to let go, saying that he had finally found the mastermind behind his frame-up and wanted to take the person to see the emperor in exchange for his innocence.
