Tang Yaoyao looked over and saw a slight smile on her father's lips, indicating that he was in a good mood.

If only his mood could stay good.

She called out to him first: "Dad."

Tang Shengze turned around and saw her, then gently revealed a loving smile.

That smile was like when she had fallen into darkness countless times, her father was like a god reaching out to her, pulling her up from the abyss, and telling her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Tang Yaoyao felt a pang of emotion and slowly walked towards him.

Tang Shengze said, "Let's go downstairs for dinner."

"Um."

As they walked up the stairs, her father helped her up and said, "Yaoyao, from now on, Dad won't be so busy. There will be someone else to handle things at the company, and I'll spend more time at home and try to spend more time with my family."

Tang Yaoyao nodded softly: "Yes, Dad has been busy all the time, he should rest."

Her father glanced at her, and seeing her obedient appearance, he said softly, "Remember, come back and visit often."

Tang Yaoyao's heart trembled slightly. What her father had just said was actually for this last sentence.

If she could, she would definitely spend more time with her father.

She nodded slightly: "Okay."

As they spoke, they arrived at the restaurant.

When Lin Hui looked at them, she immediately put on a gentle, homely smile: "Jin Han, come and sit down, I've kept you waiting."

Hearing her address so affectionately, Xiao Jinhan subconsciously frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked at her, his gaze filled with a cold glint, sharp as an ice pick at her fake face.

Lin Hui was startled by his gaze and quickly looked away guiltily, glancing at Tang Shengze and Tang Yaoyao instead.

"Yaoyao, come and sit down, you're the birthday girl today."

She slightly curved her lips, a hint of coldness in her foxy eyes, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work today."

It's definitely very hard work.

She did all the chopping, stir-frying, and stewing by herself, and she was so busy that she couldn't keep up. Luckily, it was mealtime.

Every time that little slut comes back, she has to do all the chores; she's such a burden.

She thought to herself, but her face showed a very kind smile: "Today is your birthday, it's only right for Mom to cook for you."

As she spoke, she gestured to Su Mei, "Come, Xiao Mei, sit down too. You've been taking care of Yao Yao all along. As her mother, I should be the one thanking you properly."

Su Mei thought about what Yao Ge had just told her about the vicious things this woman had done to her in the past, and seeing her face like this now, she felt extremely disgusted.

If she hadn't known beforehand what kind of monster Lin Hui was, she would have truly believed that she was so kind.

Tang Shengze's gaze remained scrutinizing. He hoped that his wife's change was not superficial. He said in a low voice, "Please take your seats, everyone. You sit down too."

Lin Hui responded with a grin, "Hey!"

Everyone took their seats.

At this moment, Lin Hui stood up, opened a pot of nourishing soup, looked at Tang Yaoyao with a gentle gaze that seemed to drip with tenderness: "Yaoyao, this is a soup that your sister specially made for you. Try it."

Actually, she cooked that soup herself.

Tang Yujiao's eyes narrowed slightly, but she did not offer any explanation.

Tang Yaoyao nodded.

Lin Hui glanced at Xiao Jinhan and then deliberately said, "Yaoyao, didn't you say last time that you wanted to learn to cook? You should learn more from your sister in this regard. A girl can't always be out in public. You have to be a virtuous wife to be worthy of someone."
