Chapter 169 "If the master and mistress had a child, they would definitely..."

Zhaolin originally only intended to send the two cats to a pet boarding house, but seeing that Wen Xinglan liked the pet park, he let them in to play for a while. Unexpectedly, once Wen Xinglan went in, she refused to come out.

After the restaurant opened, guests came in one after another, and Zhao Lin had to go to the lobby to help. But no matter what he said, Wen Xinglan refused to leave the pet park, or more precisely, he refused to leave his little friends. But Zhao Lin couldn't bring the cat into the lobby.

“Brother, aren’t we brothers?” Zhaolin asked.

Wen Xinglan: "They are brothers."

Zhaolin: "If you're a true brother, listen to me. How about we go play in the lobby?"

Wen Xinglan looked at Zhaolin with her big, dark eyes and fell silent.

Zhaolin tried to lure him with food: "Would you like some mini steamed buns? They're colorful and come in all sorts of shapes. You can get them if you come with me to the lobby."

Wen Xinglan remained seated on the ground, holding a cat by the leash in one hand: "..."

"Would you like some milk? I've made it for you." Zhaolin pointed to the lobby on the other side of the glass wall. "It's over there, let's go drink it."

Wen Xinglan blinked and finally got up from the ground, pressing down on the cat's back.

Zhaolin was secretly delighted: I never expected that what attracted you the most was milk. Sure enough, no human cub can resist the temptation of milk.

"Let's go." Zhaolin bent down and reached out to take Wen Xinglan's hand.

Wen Xinglan tilted her head up to look at him: "Kitty."

Zhaolin tried to reason with him: "The cat doesn't drink milk, but it likes to play here. Let's let them play here, okay? We'll go drink milk, and then we'll come back to play with the cat."

Wen Xinglan seemed to understand and finally took a step to follow Zhaolin. However, she stopped when either Xiaoju or Xiaohua meowed behind her. She turned around to look at the two cats and then looked up at them again: "Brother, kitty."

Zhaolin: "..."

It doesn't make sense, does it?

Zhaolin then turned to Xiaoju and Xiaohua and said, "Can you two play here for a while? Let your friend go back and have some milk, otherwise he won't have the energy to play with you."

However, the two cats didn't even glance at Zhaolin, their two big, watery eyes fixed on Wen Xinglan and meowing, as if they were afraid that Wen Xingmou would leave them while she was nursing. Wen Xinglan lived up to their expectations and refused to leave.

As more and more customers entered the store, Zhaolin had to go to the lobby to greet them. Seeing that the three of them were really reluctant to part, he had no choice but to say, "Alright, then the three of you can stay here and play."

The pet boarding area and the hotel lobby are separated by a glass wall, so he can keep an eye on their side from the lobby. The play facilities in the pet park are nothing more than climbing and crawling, which are safe for children, so there shouldn't be any problems.

So Zhaolin kept the three of them locked in the pet park and instructed them, "Brother is busy now, you can play inside, but don't run around or climb the walls, understand?"

Wen Xinglan nodded and said, "I know, brother and grandmother."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you right away."

Zhaolin picked up the small schoolbag that Wen Xinglan had brought that morning. Inside the schoolbag were some of his daily necessities, as well as his baby bottle and formula.

Zhaolin picked up the formula and bottle and went to the kitchen to ask An Fusheng to make the milk. A little while later, he appeared in front of Wen Xinglan with a bottle of prepared milk. Wen Xinglan smiled and took the bottle, popping it into her mouth.

"Take your time drinking," Zhaolin said before leaving.

Since the ingredients were supplied by Jiang Manzhi's village, the restaurant's business has been getting better and better. Every day from opening to closing, the restaurant is always full of customers. Awen and his two friends shuttle through the lobby, welcoming and seeing off customers. Before one table is even settled, another one arrives. Zhaolin also has to transform into a waiter, serving tea and dishes everywhere, while also acting as a cashier to help customers pay and print receipts.

When you get busy, you tend to forget things. By the time Zhaolin remembered Wen Xinglan, it was almost midnight. He looked up at the glass wall and saw Wen Xinglan sitting on the floor with her back to him, and two cats sitting side by side opposite her. Thank goodness...

not good!

Is Wen Xinglan going to put the pacifier in Xiaohua's mouth?

Zhaolin's eyelids twitched, and he quickly wiped his hands and ran outside.

"Ridiculous!"

Just as he stepped out of the restaurant, a round, black nose suddenly appeared in front of him. Zhaolin stopped in his tracks at the last second. Luckily, he almost kissed... a dog's nose.

Oh, it's an Alaskan Malamute!

It's so big! When it stands up, it's almost as tall as me.

"Wow, the fur is so smooth!" Just as Zhaolin was about to reach out and grab a handful, half of the Alaskan Malamute's body emerged from behind its massive frame—a woman around fifty years old.

Seeing that Zhaolin was frightened by the dog, but noticing that he was wearing the shop's uniform, the woman didn't apologize. Instead, she asked with concern, "Did the dog frighten you?"

Zhaolin wasn't afraid of dogs; he was just slightly startled by the dog's sudden appearance. He quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "No, no."

The woman asked, "Do you allow pets to be stored here while you eat?"

“Yes.” Zhaolin gestured to the right, “The pet boarding house is this way, please follow me.”

Zhaolin introduced women and Alaskans to the pet boarding house.

As soon as the Alaskan Malamute entered the house, its two round little eyes lit up with excitement at the sight of all the play equipment, and its big tail started wagging. Then it saw two other kittens and a human, and its big tail wagged even more enthusiastically.

The woman immediately saw through its attempt to jump over the fence and quickly tightened the leash, saying, "There are children inside, you can't go in."

The enormous dog's head drooped down instantly.

Zhaolin helped the woman store her dog and led her to the lobby. When they passed the petting zoo, he snatched Wen Xinglan's baby bottle.

After settling the women in, Zhaolin returned to the pet boarding house, delivered cat food to Xiaoju and Xiaohua, and then crossed his arms and asked Wen Xinglan, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat?"

Wen Xinglan glanced at Little Orange and Little Flower, who were engrossed in eating their cat food without looking at him. Finally, they obediently nodded and said, "Eat your food."

Zhaolin cleaned the cat hair off his body in the designated area outside the pet boarding house, washed his hands and face, and then carried him into the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Wen Xinglan thought of his cat friend again, and kept calling out "cat" and "cat".

"When did you two become so good friends?" Zhao Lin tucked Wen Xinglan into the high chair, placed it against the glass wall, and then pointed to the two cats opposite, who were happily munching on their cat food: "See them?"

Wen Xinglan nodded: "Cat."

"The cat is eating."

"Baby, eat your food."

"Okay, wait here, I'll go get it for you."

"Is this your child?" Liu Yun asked Zhaolin in surprise.

She had noticed the pretty child at the pet boarding house. She thought it was some young person who had brought their child to eat but found it too troublesome and left the child with their pet.

Zhaolin smiled and said, "No, it's a friend's child. His family is too busy to take care of him, so I'm helping out for a while."

"You can even take care of children?" Liu Yun looked at the young man in front of her with admiration in her eyes. "You're so young, yet you can take care of children, and you even manage to work while taking care of them. That's really rare."

Zhaolin said, "He is very well-behaved and doesn't need much attention."

Liu Yun looked at Wen Xinglan affectionately and nodded, saying, "This child looks well-behaved and is also beautiful."

“Yes.” Zhao Lin didn’t mince words. “Then I’ll go get him some food. Please call the waiter if you need anything.”

Liu Yun smiled and said, "You go ahead with your work."

After Zhaolin left, Liu Yun moved to a different stool, closer to Wen Xinglan, and asked him, "How old are you?"

An Shisi and Wen Xingmou, both illiterate, always liked to calculate Wen Xinglan's age, but the numbers they came up with were all over the place. They would then tell Wen Xinglan the correct numbers, which caused Wen Xinglan to have a very confused memory of her own age. Sometimes she would say "baby is one year old" and other times she would say "baby is two years old." Although they were wrong, they would answer every question and do so very seriously.

The child was so well-behaved that Liu Yun found him increasingly endearing and asked, "What's your name?"

Wen Xinglan was very certain this time: "Younger brother."

"Oh, you call him 'little brother'?" Liu Yun asked with a smile. "You have an older brother or sister at home, right?"

Wen Xinglan said in a serious tone, "Brother, sister."

Liu Yun: "Both my older brother and sister have them."

Wen Xinglan: "My older brother and sister have them."

Liu Yun's heart melted, and she couldn't help but smile.

When Wen Xinglan saw her smile at him, he returned a big smile.

"What an adorable child!" Liu Yun exclaimed repeatedly.

Soon Zhaolin brought Wen Xinglan's meal.

Zhaolin placed Wen Xinglan's children's meal on the table in the high chair, told Wen Xinglan to "eat slowly," and then left.

Seeing that Wen Xinglan was so young yet could eat by herself, and eat so well, slowly and steadily putting spoonful after spoonful into her mouth, and occasionally picking up and eating the food that had fallen on the table, Liu Yun was extremely amazed. She remembered how her own daughter would often say she wanted to buy a sack of cute children when she saw them on TV, and now she felt a deep sense of empathy for her.

Soon Liu Yun's food was served.

Liu Yun took her dog out for a bath today. She passed by this restaurant and went in because she saw that they could leave pets there. She thought that she usually cooks for others, so she would try eating a ready-made meal today. She didn't have high expectations for the taste, but it was surprisingly delicious.

Liu Yun's cooking skills are quite good. Although she is not a professional chef, she has studied cooking for decades. She dares to say that many big hotels do not cook as well as she does. Unexpectedly, the food in this ordinary restaurant is even better than what she makes.

Liu Yun was very satisfied with the meal, and the presence of a particularly cute little child to chat with made her feel especially good.

After finishing her meal, Liu Yun walked her dog to the roadside to wait for a car to pick her up, and couldn't resist making a phone call to her son.

The call was answered quickly:

"Mom, is there something you need on the phone?"

Liu Yun: "Do you have a girlfriend?"

The other person: "Huh? No, why are you suddenly concerned about me having a girlfriend?"

Liu Yun: "I haven't even found a girlfriend yet, when will I ever be able to hold my grandson?"

The other person said, "Mom, aren't you being a little too hasty? I'm still in college, and I'm not even of legal marriage age yet."

Liu Yun: "Hurry up and find one! You're twenty and still don't have a girlfriend. Who are you going to marry when you reach the legal marriage age?"

The other person said, "Mom, is it possible that the legal marriage age is the earliest age to get married, not the latest age? So we can still get married even after the legal marriage age?"

Liu Yun: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find him, I want to hold my grandson!"

opposite:"……"

A black sedan stopped in front of Liu Yun, and the window slowly rolled down.

"Sister Liu, I didn't expect that someone as young as you would be so eager to have a grandson."

"Hey, I'm just jealous of other people's kids because they're cute and well-behaved."

"You know what, me too!"

"But cute and well-behaved children are always someone else's; your own child might be quite a troublemaker."

"You never know, hahaha!"

"If the gentleman and lady had a child, they would definitely..."

"Sigh..." A soft sigh came from ahead.
