Xu Hongying was almost melted by the little girl's cuteness at first sight.
Soon, a clear sneer flashed across her lips.
She likes children, but only her own; she finds outside bastards annoying.
She wasn't her son's child, yet she occupied the spot of her eldest granddaughter.
"Get away, I don't want it!" She waved her hand and pushed the egg away.
Niu Niu's smile faded, and she pouted, unable to retract her little hand for a long time.
She sensed that her grandmother disliked her...
Upon seeing this, Chen Sisi stiffened, and the anger that had been building up in her eyes intensified.
She took a deep breath, about to speak, when Gu Chengfeng picked up Niu Niu: "Niu Niu, Grandma doesn't know what's good for her, perfect, we'll keep it for ourselves..."
"Dad can tell you really like this egg, right?"
Niu Niu's eyes were about to spill over when she was warmed by Gu Chengfeng's words.
"Hmm, Niu Niu likes it..." Niu Niu carefully held the egg in her hands, then secretly hid it behind her chest.
Gu Chengfeng stared into her small eyes: "If you like it, keep it. In this family, you don't need to please anyone!"
This was the first time Niu Niu had heard these words, and she seemed to like her father even more now.
She carefully hid the egg inside her clothes.
Shen Sisi never expected Gu Chengfeng to be so open-minded.
Chen Sisi's eyes unconsciously moistened, but quickly turned into a faint smile, revealing a pair of dimples at the corners of her mouth.
With Gu Chengfeng present, Chen Sisi and her daughter enjoyed the meal quite well.
Xu Hongying barely ate a few bites; she was almost full of anger.
This woman, Chen Sisi, must have been bewitched by some kind of magic potion, completely captivating her son.
They actually accepted this bastard child...
After finishing his meal, Gu Chengfeng got up to clear the dishes.
This was a tacit understanding reached between him and Shen Sisi.
Chen Sisi washes vegetables and cooks, while he is responsible for cleaning up and washing dishes.
Sisi's hands were so delicate, white, and tender; he couldn't bear to let them soak in dirty water.
Of course, she wasn't idle either; she boiled a kettle of water and made medicine for Niu Niu.
Then I went to bed for a nap.
Niu Niu loves listening to stories, so I thought about it and found a way to buy storybooks and picture books from a used bookstore. I would read two to her every night before bed.
Xu Hongying stood outside the door, glancing sideways at the two people lounging inside.
"You live in my son's house, eat my son's food, and don't even wash a dish. All you do is shirk your responsibilities... Get up and go to the kitchen to clean up!"
Chen Sisi didn't even look up, staring at the picture book, her tone soothing and gentle.
"Chen Sisi, are you deaf?" Xu Hongying broke the tranquility.
"It's not that I'm being lazy, it's just that I'm so clumsy, I couldn't wash them properly and even broke the bowls. Gu Chengfeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he took over the job."
"If this bowl is broken, won't we still have to spend Gu Chengfeng's money to buy a new one?"
Xu Hongying stamped her foot in distress: "You spendthrift woman... Don't you know how to wash dishes properly? Get up and go wash the dishes in the kitchen."
Chen Sisi had no choice but to get up and put the picture book in her hands, smiling sweetly, "Okay, I'll go learn to wash dishes from Gu Chengfeng, Auntie, you can take care of the child for me."
She is beautiful, and even more so when she smiles; her soft voice is irresistible.
Before Xu Hongying could even react, she was assigned a task.
She held the book in her hand and looked at the little girl on the bed with her eyes wide open and looking expectant. She was meddling in other people's business and had even made a job for herself.
Chen Sisi slipped into the kitchen and leaned against the door, admiring Gu Chengfeng bending over to wash the dishes.
That flat yet powerful little belly, she carried it all the way this morning.
I have to say, it feels pretty good~
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of that alluring curve by the door, almost impossible to look away from: "Is Niu Niu asleep?"
"No, your mom is telling her a story."
"Tell a story?" Gu Chengfeng chuckled. His mother was barely literate; how could she possibly tell stories to people?
They're quite good at swearing.
"No, I have to go and keep an eye on her, lest she say something nonsense to Niu Niu again." Gu Chengfeng was worried, so he casually wiped the water off his hands and walked outside.
Diagonally opposite the kitchen is the large room where Xu Hongying is currently being pestered by Niu Niu to tell her a story.
She scratched her head as she looked at the book filled with densely packed small black characters.
She simply closed the book and said, "What's the point of listening to stories? Go to sleep!"
Niu Niu pouted her nose and her little eyes sparkled: "Grandma, you haven't told anyone a story before, have you?"
Xu Hongying's face flushed red: "What nonsense are you talking about? I... I just couldn't be bothered to talk to you. You're not my real granddaughter..."
Niu Niu didn't really understand the concept of "family," but she was a little resentful: "I'm not your biological granddaughter, but I'm Daddy's biological daughter..."
"Oh my God, who taught you to say that? You can't just spout nonsense like that outside! My son's innocence is ruined..."
Gu Chengfeng's face was extremely cold: "That's right, from now on, I, Gu Chengfeng, am her biological father."
Xu Hongying was stunned, then reached out to hit him: "What are you doing, raising someone else's daughter... I'll beat you to death..."
While she was shouting and screaming, the kitchen was also making a ruckus.
Chen Sisi pinched her palms until they were red, then turned around and picked up a broken bowl with a chipped bottom and fine cracks, and "accidentally" dropped it on the ground.
Clang~
Soon, Gu Chengfeng and Xu Hongying rushed into the kitchen.
Amidst the shards scattered on the ground, Gu Chengfeng's first glance was at her fingers; thankfully, they were unharmed.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Chen Sisi said, "I accidentally dropped my hand."
Then he bent down and started cleaning up the mess.
Gu Chengfeng saw this and grabbed her soft fingers: "Don't move, I'll sweep! Be careful not to hurt yourself..."
He forcibly pulled Shen Sisi to stand aside, like a child who had done something wrong.
After confirming that she was alright, Gu Chengfeng skillfully cleaned up the broken pieces.
His brows furrowed, and his tone was full of reproach: "I told you, leave the dishwashing to me, don't get involved..."
"Um!"
She looked at Xu Hongying apologetically, her eyes seeming to say: "See? It's not that I don't want to, it's that your son won't allow it..."
Xu Hongying was so angry she almost ground her back teeth to powder. This vixen was really clumsy; she had broken another bowl.
"Chengfeng, you're just going to spoil her like that. But what will she do when you're not home?"
He looked up: "Isn't there you here? Now that you're here, you can help share some of the housework."
"What did you say?"
Gu Chengfeng threw away the broken pieces and said matter-of-factly, "You live in my house, eat the food Sisi cooks, and she has to take care of the child. What's wrong with you doing some housework? If you're not happy about it, then please leave!"
Xu Hongying finally understood that her son was trying to get rid of her!
It's true what they say, once you have a wife, you forget your mother...
"You want me to leave? No way!"
Xu Hongying snorted coldly. Gu Chengfeng was at home and always protected Chen Sisi.
Once he gets to the military camp, let's see how she deals with this vixen!
