Mother Tao had already prepared dinner in the room and stood at the door and called, "Wenwen, come in and eat. I cooked your favorite saury."
Tao Wenwen said, "I'm going to Mr. Zhang's house and will eat when I come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, the figure rushed into the darkness and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Mother Tao couldn't stop shouting, and could only shake her head helplessly, "This child, he's only been sick for a few days, and he's already acting so fast again."
Tao Wenwen rushed into the darkness and came back half an hour later, holding an unknown herb in one hand and two freshly dead centipedes in the other.
Returning to the utility room, she crushed the herbs and centipedes together, squeezed out the juice, and once again poured it into the mouth of the unconscious young man.
"Whether you can see the sun tomorrow depends on your luck." Tao Wenwen patted the young man's shoulder leisurely, turned around, stretched lazily, and went back to his room to eat.
The two people in the room were waiting for her. Only after Tao Wenwen washed her hands and walked into the living room did Tao's mother bring the dishes in the pot to the table.
The man who was about to become her "new father" entertained Tao Wenwen even more attentively than her mother, as if she was the distinguished guest at home and he was the male host of the house.
"Wenwen, you must be tired from playing. Drink some water first. The food will be on the table soon. Please wait a moment. I also cooked your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for you today." The man spoke attentively. Although these words sounded more like small talk, he still tried hard to keep the atmosphere quiet.
Tao Wenwen sniffed and her eyes drifted to the kitchen.
Mother Tao's cheeks were flushed, her face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of happiness.
In "Tao Wenwen's" memory, Mother Tao has always been kind and amiable, leading "Tao Wenwen" to a positive life. Although the mother and daughter depend on each other and their lives are ordinary and warm, she has never seen Mother Tao as delicate as she is now.
Mother Tao likes the man in front of her.
"Tao Wenwen" was also afraid that Tao's mother would abandon her, so she threatened to commit suicide to force Tao's mother to leave this man, right?
Who could have thought that she would actually kill herself by diving into the river. When she came ashore, she was no longer the original "Tao Wenwen", but Tao Wenwen, the future genius doctor who would dominate both the Chinese and Western worlds.
Tao Wenwen sighed in her heart. Without the days of being a big shot, every day was lonely.
The aroma of food wafted out from the kitchen. Tao Wenwen swallowed hard, and the slight loneliness that had just arisen in her mind dissipated in an instant.
Seeing Tao Wenwen's greedy look, the man rubbed his hands and said, "How about I cook sweet and sour fish for you tomorrow?"
Tao Wenwen licked her lips.
The man continued, "Let's add another roast duck."
Tao Wenwen picked up the cup the man placed in front of her and took a swig of water to suppress the secretion of her saliva glands. After putting the cup down, she added, "Another dish of Mapo Tofu."
The man's eyebrows lit up with joy, and he almost couldn't help but applaud. He responded excitedly, "Oh, okay, I'll arrange it right away!"
Tao Wenwen turned her eyes and glanced at the man, not understanding what he was happy about.
According to the Tao family's living standards, they definitely cannot afford such a feast of meat and fish every day. This is of course thanks to the man in front of them. He prepared all the meals these days.
But can you prepare like this day after day for your whole life?
After all, it was all to win her favor so that she would agree to let Mother Tao marry him.
Because Tao's mother had said that if she didn't agree, she would definitely not marry.
Tao Wenwen thought for a moment and asked the man, "Do you like my mother very much?"
"I like her." The man put his hands on his legs and wiped away the sweat on his palms. "Your mother and I knew each other when we were young. Because of something... Anyway, I have always liked your mother since I was young. Now I finally meet her again, so I don't want to miss her again."
"Really?" Tao Wenwen looked back at her mother who was bringing the food to the table, then picked up the rice, picked up the chopsticks, lowered her head and began to eat quietly.
The man blinked.
He had been prepared to be questioned by Tao Wenwen again, but after Tao Wenwen said "Really?", he started eating with an expressionless face. He was stunned before he could express his enthusiasm.
That’s it, that’s all?
So, is he satisfied or dissatisfied with this "new dad" of his?
