Chen Moli's culinary skills are undoubtedly superb.
Lin Xiao always couldn't help but add half a bowl of rice. If it weren't for managing his figure, it would be easy for him to eat an extra bowl of rice.
"Jasmine, your spicy crab is absolutely delicious! It's even better than the last time!"
Before the family of three went for a walk, Lin Xiao praised them generously.
Chen Moli was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin likes to eat, that's wonderful!"
It was all worth the effort, time, and energy she put in to make this dish even more delicious.
I never expected that Mr. Lin could actually taste the subtle difference!
Wei Ruolan, wearing a frosty white cashmere shawl, walked out of the courtyard and said with a smile, "If you like the spicy crab that Jasmine makes, I'll have her make some more and send them to your school later."
Lin Xiao, holding Xi Xi's hand, smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "There's no need to go to that trouble. Eating here once a week is just fine. Eating here every day won't be as amazing."
Wei Ruolan paused for a moment before replying, "Very well. Whatever you wish for, I won't force you."
Puff walked ahead with a steady, cat-like gait.
XiXi held her parents' hands and skipped along.
Other residents of the camphor forest were also out for a walk and happened to run into each other, so they greeted one another.
The child in one family was a little boy who was a year older than Xixi.
The little boy thought Xixi was cute and wanted to play with her.
But XiXi didn't want to play with the little boy, so she went off to chase after Puff to play.
The little boy pouted, looking bewildered and aggrieved.
The little boy's mother laughed and said, "It's alright, hehe, the little sister is still young and doesn't understand yet. When she's older, she'll be willing to play with her brother."
After saying that, he looked at Wei Ruolan and Lin Xiao and said with a smile, "The wind is picking up. It looks like it's going to rain tonight."
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and nodded, but did not answer.
Wei Ruolan took Lin Xiao's arm and said softly with a smile, "Yes. The wind is especially strong tonight, it's probably because a typhoon is coming."
The little boy's mother then asked, "Miss Wei, when are you and Mr. Lin planning to hold your wedding? I'd like to have a drink at your wedding."
The atmosphere immediately became strangely awkward.
The little boy tilted his head back, puzzled, and asked, "But...heehee, you're all so big now, why aren't you married yet?"
Wei Ruolan's face darkened, and a suppressed emotion welled up in her heart.
The little boy's mother seemed to realize that her question was a bit presumptuous, and quickly smoothed things over by laughing and saying, "Most people get married first and then have children, but there are also a few who have children first and then get married later."
The little boy seemed to understand, but not quite.
Lin Xiao said calmly, "When we get married is a matter between Ruolan and me, so this lady doesn't need to worry about it."
"Little kid, hehe, you're so big now. Whether we're married or not is none of your business, and it's none of your business either."
"All you need to know is that we are XiXi's mom and dad, that's enough."
Excuse me.
After saying that, without waiting for the mother and son's reaction, he took Wei Ruolan and strode away.
After walking a distance, Wei Ruolan chuckled and asked, "Lin Xiao, aren't you afraid people will talk badly about you behind your back?"
Lin Xiao said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid. I just don't like that mother and son making things difficult for you."
"Obviously, they've discussed your relationship with Xixi, and even my relationship with you, behind your back. Otherwise, how would such a young child know anything about getting married first and then having children?"
"When I was that little, I didn't care about human social relationships at all. I only cared about playing."
Wei Ruolan pressed herself even closer, her plump, soft peach pressing against Lin Xiao's arm.
"Yes. I think so too." Wei Ruolan's voice was so soft it could melt your heart.
Lin Xiao pursed his thin lips.
I'm numb.
No wonder the ancients said, "It's like climbing mountains for a man to pursue a woman, but like piercing a thin veil for a woman to pursue a man."
Where can a man find such a handy and harmless tool for committing a crime?
It's so alluring in its silence.
No need to say a word, so convenient.
After their walk back, XiXi took a shower, and Lin Xiao told her a bedtime story as usual.
Wei Ruolan reminded him, "Hehe, didn't you have a gift for Daddy?"
Hehe shouted loudly, "That's right!"
She ran to her desk and found a drawing she had finished.
"Dad, this is for you!"
"Happy birthday to you!
Wishing you good health and all the best!
The little girl handed the painting to Lin Xiao, tilting her head up and speaking in a childish voice.
Lin Xiao was a little surprised, and the corners of his lips curled up. "Thank you, hehe."
He opened it and saw that it depicted a family of three holding hands, and cream puffs were also in the picture.
The brushstrokes were still quite immature, even a bit rough, but coming from the heartfelt sincerity of a three-year-old child, Lin Xiao was still somewhat moved.
"Hehe, that's a really good drawing! Dad will keep the drawing and treasure it."
She giggled and laughed, her big, grape-like eyes sparkling.
She took her father's and mother's hands, came to the bedside, and climbed onto the bed herself first.
"Dad, Mom, come up here," XiXi patted the bedside and invited.
Lin Xiaomo's dark eyes flashed as he looked at Wei Ruolan.
With a flushed face, Wei Ruolan had already bent over and climbed up.
Lin Xiao: "…………"
Puff also leaped up, only to be pulled into Wei Ruolan's arms.
Puff blinked its innocent cat eyes and didn't say a word.
Hee-hee cried out urgently, "Daddy, come quick!"
Lin Xiao took a breath, suspecting that Wei Ruolan had taught him this, but he had no proof.
It wouldn't be good to call Xixi disappointed.
If you go to bed, you go to bed; you don't do anything else.
