In order to make a good impression on Kang An, Zhou Musheng took great care of her throughout the entire process. Whenever Kang An spoke to him, he would immediately squat down to be at eye level with her, so as not to look down on her and give her a feeling of being superior.
Although Kang An was just a little girl under four years old, Zhou Musheng gave her enough respect, which Xiao Hua saw. Although their union was not so beautiful at the beginning and was full of entanglements of interests.
However, the process went fairly well, and she felt that she might have overcomplicated Zhou Musheng's character a bit.
Now, after getting to know him better, she found that he was still just as she had initially thought: a gentleman, humble and polite, and acting appropriately in all situations.
In any case, Zhou Musheng is much better than He Yan in her eyes, if not a thousand times better, then a hundred times better.
Moreover, Kang An also had a very good feeling about Zhou Musheng, especially about Zhou Musheng's son, Zhou Xun.
It goes without saying that girls love to look at faces; for them, looks are everything.
Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Kang An was not so hostile to the Zhou father and son.
During meals, Zhou Musheng cut food for Xiaohua, while Zhou Xun cut food for Kang'an.
"It seems that being a gentleman is hereditary."
Xiaohua watched the father and son elegantly cutting the food on their plates with knives and forks, and was moved to speak.
Zhou Musheng smiled and said, "So-called heredity is nothing more than the teachings passed down in the family. People say that dragons beget dragons and phoenixes beget phoenixes, and mice beget mice that know how to dig holes. There is some truth to that."
Looking at his son beside him, Zhou Musheng felt quite proud. This son had been with him since birth, and he had practically raised him himself.
Zhou Xun handed the cut food to Kang An: "Kang An, little sister, eat up!"
Kang An smiled happily: "Thank you, Brother Zhou Xun, I love you!"
Because Xiaohua often tells Kang'an, "Mommy loves you," Kang'an will learn from Xiaohua and often say "I love you" to others.
When Kang An said "I love you" to Zhou Xun, Xiao Hua could clearly see a blush creeping onto Zhou Xun's face.
Kang An picked up his knife and fork, then forked a piece of food and put it in his mouth.
"Wow, the food my brother cut looks so delicious!"
Kang An ate with such satisfaction that his big, contented eyes narrowed.
Zhou Xun smiled shyly: "I only made a cut. The delicious food is definitely the chef's doing, not mine."
"Everyone deserves credit, but it's mainly because my brother cut it so well that I was able to enjoy the delicious food."
As soon as Kang An finished speaking, Zhou Xun's face was already unrecognizable after all the editing. Xiao Hua quickly stopped Kang An, saying, "Just eat your food and don't tease your brother."
Kang An's sweet talk is so irresistible, Xiao Hua herself didn't even know that the girl she gave birth to was such a sweet girl.
"Like mother, like daughter, it's so true! Xiaohua, you like to praise people, and your daughter also likes to praise people. They're both very likable."
Zhou Musheng looked tenderly at the mother and daughter opposite him.
Now Xiaohua felt shy: "No, no, it's enough that you like us, my daughter and I."
"Yes, yes, as long as I like it, it doesn't matter whether others like it or not."
Zhou Mu's business was pointed at.
Zhou Xun felt less like eating after listening to this, because he had already eaten his fill of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Teacher Ye, actually I like you very much too. I am very happy to see you and my father dating, and I hope you can get married and start a family soon. I wholeheartedly support you and my father being together, so you don't have any worries with me."
Zhou Xun quickly expressed his attitude to his future stepmother.
Xiaohua was at a loss for words after hearing that. She was speechless for a long time before finally managing to say, "Um... thank you!"
"What about Kang An? Brother Zhou Xun is very happy. I'm with your mother. Does Kang An support Uncle being with your mother?"
Zhou Musheng looked at the little pink dumpling across from him who was eating seriously, wanting to tease her on purpose.
But he also wanted to know what the child was thinking. Although she was still very young and didn't have much of a sense of self, she couldn't just do whatever her mother wanted, and she wouldn't resent her mother because of it.
“I’m happy too. As long as my mom is happy, I’m happy. Whoever my mom is with is fine as long as she’s happy.”
No wonder she's a mama's boy.
(He Yan: My dear Kang'an, have you already forgotten your biological father who is still waiting for you by Daming Lake? Women really are all heartless, regardless of age.)
"Xiaohua, look, both children are very supportive, so we have no worries about being together."
Zhou Musheng was very satisfied.
Xiaohua thought about it and agreed. As a divorced woman with a child, her biggest worry when looking for a new partner is what if the child doesn't want to accept her?
Now that Kang An is willing to accept Zhou Musheng, and she even likes Zhou Musheng's child, Zhou Xun, they truly have no worries anymore.
Xiaohua felt that dating was fine, but marriage and family were unnecessary; she didn't really want to enter into marriage and family again.
Although her marriage and family with He Yan never truly took place, it was merely a formality. But regardless, she had already experienced marriage once and really didn't want to go through it a second time.
Moreover, she felt that dating allows two people to show their best side to each other to the greatest extent, while the trivialities of marriage and family life can slowly destroy the beauty of the relationship.
Ultimately, it might end up like their previous marriages, ending in resentment and divorce.
Just date, enjoy each other's company, and move forward happily. If things don't work out, then break up.
That's what she thought, but she didn't know if Zhou Musheng felt the same way. However, she figured Zhou Musheng probably didn't want to get married again, since he had also experienced a failed marriage and his relationship with his ex-wife was terrible.
"Xiaohua, what are you thinking about? You're not eating anything, and your eyes are lifeless."
Zhou Musheng noticed that Xiaohua's eyes were vacant and she was clearly lost in thought, and he wondered what she was thinking at that moment.
"I wasn't thinking about anything, but I suddenly thought about some work-related things."
When Xiaohua mentioned work, Zhou Musheng was clearly displeased, and his displeasure was even written on his face.
"We're having a relaxing time now, let's not talk about work. I know you're a very career-oriented person, but I don't like it this way. When you're working, focus on your work; when you're living your life, focus on your personal life. You have to keep those separate, okay?"
Zhou Musheng rarely lectured Xiaohua like this, so his sudden lecture left Xiaohua somewhat bewildered, and in the end she could only obediently nod.
"Okay, I understand. I won't do it again."
