On the day Xi Yan returned, Chu Jiangyi, Xi Ran, and Chu Xuan stayed at their small home.

Chu Xuan stared listlessly at the door opposite her.

"Mom and Dad! Why isn't Uncle here yet? I've been waiting for him for so long."

Xi Ran tapped the little girl's nose. "What's the rush? Your uncle will probably be here around lunchtime. If you're too free, help Mom pick some green beans. Your uncle loves green beans."

Chu Xuan nodded. She would pick more as long as her uncle liked it. She missed her uncle so much.

I miss him so much!

But all she could do was wait; she believed her uncle would be back soon.

Resigned to their fate, they picked the green beans. Chu Jiang also moved closer to his daughter to help her pick the beans, hoping to cultivate their relationship in the process.

Although Xiaoxuan is willing to play with him, most of the time she looks for her grandpa, grandma, mom, aunt, and Grandma Zhang, and he is at the end of the line.

This feeling broke his heart.

He's my dad!

How could I not be needed by my own daughter? That would be a major blunder in my life.

If he spends more time with his little girl in the future, his status in her heart might rise dramatically.

This is something he absolutely must do, he absolutely must do it.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, let Daddy help you pick green beans."

Chu Xuan nodded her little head and handed over a large bunch of green beans.

Chu Jiang's lips twitched. His daughter was so honest. He was just saying it casually. Now that his daughter had handed it over, how could he not take it?

"Yes, Daddy, come help me! It'll take Xuanxuan a long time to pick all these green beans. With Daddy's help, Xuanxuan will be able to finish picking them quickly..."

"Okay! Dad will help you."

Now, Chu Jiangyi agrees to whatever his daughter asks him to do.

He'd do anything to bring him closer to his daughter.

"Yes, yes! Pick more. Uncle likes to eat green beans. If you pick more, Uncle will be very happy to see them."

Chu Jiang paused in his bean-picking, suddenly losing his desire to pick the beans and wanting to throw them in the trash.

Suddenly, my heart ached terribly, so much so that it felt like my teeth were falling out. This is his daughter, how can she be so concerned about what her uncle likes to eat? And what about him? Can Xiaoxuan remember what he likes to eat?

no!

He absolutely had to get to the bottom of this, otherwise he would feel really uneasy.

How could a daughter not know what her father likes to eat?

That definitely won't work!

His relationship with his uncle was much closer...

"Xuanxuan! Do you know what Daddy likes to eat the most?"

Chu Xuan nodded, "I know!"

A warm feeling flowed through Chu Jiangyi's heart. His daughter knew what he liked to eat the most, and it felt so good.

"What does Dad like to eat?"

Chu Xuan thought about it seriously for a moment, tilted her head, and seemed to remember something.

Chu Jiang also cried out in his heart, "Say it quickly! I've been waiting for this moment for so long!"

With a smile on her face, her daughter still knew his favorite.

Tell me quickly, make Dad happy.

Not long after, Chu Xuan's soft, sweet voice rang out, "As long as the poop doesn't smell bad, Daddy likes to eat it."

Chu Jiangyi's face cracked as he stared in disbelief at his little darling, wondering why she seemed to be letting in a draft.

Is she really his little darling?

It's leaking air way too much.

His heart is aching.

How could this happen?

Who said that? It's utterly damaging to his reputation.

Chu Jiang patiently asked Chu Xuan, his smile forced and unconvincing.

Who told you all this?

Chu Xuan sold the person without hesitation.

"Grandpa and Grandma said that Dad has never been a picky eater since he was little. He can finish anything as long as the poop doesn't smell bad. He can even eat that stinky tofu, and he eats it with great relish..."

Chu Jiang's lips twitched. Just how many bad things had his parents said about him in front of their child?

this……

Are there any grandparents who act like this?

It ruined his image...

Chu Jiang gritted his teeth and asked, "What else did Grandpa and Grandma say?"

Chu Xuan thought about it seriously, shook her head, and then nodded.

Chu Jiang was completely bewildered. Did it exist or not?

"It's okay, Xuanxuan, just say it. Daddy won't be angry with Grandpa and Grandma."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Chu Xuan was lost in her memories and recounted all the things her grandparents had said to her father.

Chu Jiang was speechless, and his smile was almost gone.

The two elderly people are over 100 years old combined. It's really disrespectful of their age to talk nonsense in front of the children. It's really speechless. Don't they have any dignity?

He's having such a hard time!

It seems I should stay home more often and spend more time with Xuanxuan. Children forget things easily, and she'll definitely forget all those things.

Only his glorious image remains...

The father and daughter were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't even notice someone walk in through the open door.

Hearing the noise, Chu Xuan looked up and saw Xi Yan standing to the side, smiling at her.

Chu Xuan skipped and hopped into Xi Yan's arms.

"uncle!"

"Why!"

Xi Yan picked up Chu Xuan, who had jumped over, and kissed her cheeks several times before stopping.

His niece is really beautiful and cute...

Chu Jiang also sat to the side watching the two interact, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.

The little one's attitude wasn't like this when he first saw him come home. He felt so upset. What went wrong?

"Uncle, look!" Chu Xuan pointed to the half-picked green beans next to her. "I was just picking green beans. Xuanxuan knows you like green beans, so I picked a lot so that Uncle can get his money's worth. Don't worry about not having enough..."
