Both Mom and Dad have to work, so Grandma picks Rui Rui up from school.

Immediately, the little guy used his grandma's phone to call his mom.

"I'm going home now. Grandma and I are making dumplings. Mom, you have to come back for some!"

It was her son's sweet voice. Gu Changge smiled sweetly, "Okay! Mommy's off work early today, I'll go home early."

"Grandma bought me a cheesecake, but I only ate a small piece. I saved a piece for Mom."

"Thank you, son! If you're hungry, you can eat first."

"I also drank milk and ate fruit. I'm saving some for my mom."

"Tell Mom what you want to eat, and I'll buy it for you."

"Thank you, Mom! No need, Grandma bought them all for me. Remember to come back and eat the dumplings I made!"

"good!"

"I'm hanging up now. You go back to work. I'll wait for you to come back. Love, Mom."

"I love you too, bye-bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Rui Rui called her father again.

He invited his father to come back and eat dumplings too.

...

It was already time to leave work, and Gu Changge was tidying up her desk, preparing to shut down her computer.

Suddenly, Guo Shaoxing walked in.

"Changge, are you free? Let's have dinner together."

"Dr. Guo, I'm sorry, I promised my son I would go back and eat dumplings."

"It's okay, let's reschedule for another day. I talked to a friend who's a thoracic surgeon, and he has some case data. I'll show it to you another day."

"Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome! We can have an academic exchange."

"I'm leaving now, bye-bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

Gu Changge left, and Guo Shaoxing watched her retreating figure.

For some reason, he smiled.

He had inquired and found out that Gu Changge was unmarried.

Currently, she is raising the child together with the child's father.

He thought Gu Changge was great, very pretty, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

...

Gu Yi'an and Gu Changge have both returned. Rui Rui went to call her maternal grandfather and mother to come and eat dumplings.

Out of respect for his grandson, Gu Yi'an dined at the Nangong family's house for the first time after the two families had fallen out.

"I...I also made dumplings, they were so delicious."

Gu Changge noticed that the unusual dumplings on the plate must have been made by her son.

She smiled; her son was really cute.

"Okay, Mom and Grandpa will eat it."

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car and Rui Rui quickly ran out.

Before even seeing him, the little guy called out, "Daddy...Daddy..."

The little guy wasn't even wearing shoes.

Gu Changge quickly chased after him.

Because of the door blocking the way, Rui Rui could only stand at the door and watch her father park the car.

"My dad is back."

Nangong Jin entered the room, picked up her son, and kissed him for a long time.

"Daddy misses you!"

"We can eat dumplings now, let's go inside quickly."

Nangong Jin carried her son into the house, while Gu Changge remained silent.

She went back first.

...

Upon seeing Nangong Jin, Gu Yi'an's expression hardened.

But he did not leave immediately.

He endured everything for his grandson.

Nangong Hao: "Yi'an, you don't have any surgery tomorrow, right? Let's have a couple of drinks tonight."

There were no surgeries scheduled for tomorrow. Nangong Hao poured wine, and Gu Yi'an did not stop him.

Nangong Jin: "Dad, you and Uncle Yi'an can drink. I won't drink. I have a surgery early tomorrow morning."

Nangong Hao: "Let's eat dumplings and have some soup. I'm really happy that we're all having dinner together tonight!"

Gu Yi'an either remained silent or ate dumplings.

Everyone is being quite careful, trying their best to avoid stepping into any minefields.

It's all thanks to Rui Rui that we can all sit down and eat together.

There was no arguing or staring at each other; it was all for the sake of the child.

...

Nangong Jin put the peeled shrimp into Gu Changge's bowl.

He acted naturally, but everyone present, except for Rui Rui, frowned.

What does this mean?

Have they made up?

Gu Changge: "You don't need to peel it for me, I can peel it myself."

Nangong Jin: "Anyway, our son wants to eat, so I'll put it in your bowl first. If he doesn't want to eat, you can eat it."

Rui Rui: "Mom, eat. I'll eat the dumplings first."

Gu Changge couldn't just throw away all the shrimp, so she fed her son two, and ate the rest herself.

She hated peeling shrimp, but she didn't ask Nangong Jin to peel them either.

Just like the last time we ate together, he seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, constantly putting food on her plate and peeling shrimp for her.

She doesn't care!

The atmosphere was a bit awkward in this situation, so Su Rui smoothed things over, "Chang Ge, this is cordyceps chicken soup. Drink more to nourish your body. Sometimes you have to work the night shift, which is quite tiring!"

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Su Rui also served food to Chang Ge, easing Nangong Jin's embarrassment.

That way, Changge won't feel embarrassed.

Rui Rui chimed in, "Dad, can you help Mom pick up some dumplings? Mom likes stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar and sweet and sour pork ribs. Can you give her a little of both?"

Nangong Jin: "Okay, Daddy will put a piece of pork rib on Mommy's plate, and Daddy will also put a piece of pork rib on Rui Rui's plate."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Since her son had already spoken, Gu Changge had no choice but to eat the food that Nangong Jin had placed on her plate.

Suddenly, memories from the past flooded her mind.

They were really good without Zhou Hui.

Whatever she wanted, Nangong Jin gave it to her.

When they ate together, he would always put her favorite dishes on his plate.

His kindness towards her had long surpassed that of friends, and even went beyond the "brother-sister" relationship.

She used to think he liked her.
