Xiaoman and Zuozuo both wanted to see what Tongtong would decide. More than half a month passed, and Tongtong still hadn't given Zuozuo an answer. However, Zuozuo's boss met with him and told him not to feel pressured. Since his family didn't approve of his relationship with Qiaona, he should just let it go; otherwise, he'd definitely be caught in the middle.
More than half a month later, Zuo Zuo saw Tong Tong as soon as she came out of her workplace.
As soon as Tongtong saw Zuozuo, she walked towards her. "Do you still stand by what you said that day?"
Zuo Zuo smiled: "Have you thought it through?"
Tongtong nodded firmly. "Mm."
Zuo Zuo looked into Tong Tong's eyes and said, "Yes."
Tongtong's lips immediately curled up. "Then let's give it a try."
"Okay. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
Tongtong licked her lips. "Can I come to your house for dinner?"
Zuo Zuo laughed as soon as she heard that. "Of course you can. But you'll have to do some chores if you come to my house for dinner."
Tongtong licked her lips again. "No problem."
Zuo Zuo led Tongtong towards the car, teasing her as he said, "You didn't start dating me just to eat at my house, did you?"
Tongtong blinked: "It seems so."
"Ha ha……"
Tongtong smiled mischievously: "Aren't you angry?"
Zuo Zuo glanced at Tong Tong and said, "If you really want to date me because of my family's food, then I won't need to think of any other way to make you happy."
"Uh... I was just kidding."
"What a pity, I thought I could make you devoted to me without even trying."
Tongtong gave Zuozuo a playful glare: "Dream on."
"Ha ha……"
After getting into the car, Zuo Zuo, who was fastening his seatbelt, said, "I thought you were afraid to date me."
Tongtong smiled and said, "You and my cousin just broke up. I was thinking of waiting a few months... to see if you still need my answer?"
As he started the car, Zuo Zuo said, "Are you afraid that my relationship with your cousin is just a fight?"
"Um."
"Then why did you give me an answer today?"
“My aunt called us yesterday and said my cousin is getting engaged,” Tongtong said, glancing at Zuozuo.
Zuo Zuo smiled. "Your cousin is very outstanding. She's just not right for me."
Tongtong could tell from Zuo Zuo's calm expression that Zuo Zuo had truly moved on from that relationship. But... "Aren't you even a little curious about who my cousin is getting engaged to?"
"Given your cousin's personality, she'll definitely find someone who's better than me, both in terms of family background and ability."
"Uh... actually, some things can't be judged by appearances alone."
Zuo Zuo smiled. "What would you like to eat?"
Tongtong couldn't help but lick her lips again. "Anything is fine. Everything your family makes is delicious."
Zuo Zuo glanced at Tong Tong. "You're so easy to take care of."
"Everything you make is really delicious."
Zuo Zuo joked, "I'm a little hesitant to take you home now. I'm afraid you'll eat all the food in my house if I bring you back."
"Hehe... Can I ask you something?"
Zuo Zuo immediately knew what Tong Tong wanted to say. "Do you want me to order more food for you later?"
Tongtong nodded and hummed in agreement.
"You like eating so much, aren't you afraid of scaring me away?"
"Uh..." Tongtong's eyes darted around. "I've never eaten anything so delicious before. I won't feel this way after I eat it a few more times."
"Haha... I was just kidding. Eat if you like. But you should exercise more afterward, otherwise you'll quickly go from a slender lady to a chubby, round girl."
"good."
Xiaoman smiled as she watched Zuozuo bring Tongtong back.
Tongtong: "Hello, Auntie."
Xiaoman: "Okay. Sit down."
Tongtong: "Auntie, I'm here to freeload a meal."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Welcome."
Tongtong: "Auntie, I'm going to help out in the kitchen."
Xiaoman: "I'll come again next time. This is your first time visiting. Please have a seat."
“This…” Tongtong looked at Zuozuo. Tongtong knew that Xiaoman meant this was the first time she had visited as Zuozuo’s girlfriend.
Zuo Zuo pulled Tong Tong to the sofa. "My mother is right. Sit down."
"Okay." Tongtong sat down on the sofa: "Auntie, why don't I see Chou Chou, Er Chou, and San Chou?"
Xiaoman: "Jiejie took them to the manor to play."
Zuo Zuo: "Did my grandparents, Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Shang also go?"
Xiaoman: "Mmm."
Zuo Zuo: "Then I'll go cook."
Xiaoman: "Mmm."
Tongtong: "I'll go help you."
Xiaoman: "He can handle it himself."
Zuo Zuo: "You stay here and chat with my mom. I can manage by myself."
Tongtong: "Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Zuo Zuo: "Really, you don't need to."
Tongtong: "Okay then."
A little while later, Han Bin returned. Han Bin also had a good impression of Tongtong.
Tongtong stood up as soon as she saw Han Bin. "Hello, Uncle!"
"Okay. Sit down. Has your dad been busy lately?"
"My dad was quite busy a few days ago. He's not so busy these days."
"Your father..." Han Bin took over the task of looking after Tongtong after returning home.
Zuo Zuo made eight dishes and a soup in just over half an hour.
Tongtong took a bite and her eyes widened in surprise. "Zuozuo, did you really make all this food?"
Zuo Zuo picked a piece of vegetable for Tong Tong. "There are only the four of us at home today."
Tongtong immediately looked at Xiaoman and said, "Auntie, compared to your son, I don't feel like a girl at all."
Xiaoman smiled. "Who says girls have to know how to cook?"
“Um…Auntie,” Tongtong wanted to say, “Auntie, it must be so wonderful to be your daughter-in-law.” But she was too embarrassed to say it, so she changed it to, “Auntie, it must be so wonderful to be your daughter.”
Xiaoman looked at Tongtong and said, "Being my daughter-in-law would be even happier."
Tongtong's face immediately turned red. "Auntie, let me give you some of this."
Xiaoman smiled. "Okay."
Tongtong and Zuozuo came from similar family backgrounds and had similar interests, so their relationship developed quickly. Two months later, Zuozuo and Tongtong decided to get married. When Tongtong brought Zuozuo home to tell her that she wanted to marry him, Tongtong's parents were astonished.
When Qiao Na and her parents found out that Tong Tong and Zuo Zuo were getting married, they thought Tong Tong and her parents had lost their minds.
However, more than a decade later, both Jona and her parents regretted giving up so easily. Jona's mother thought countless times that if she had persuaded Jona to change back then, Jona would now have a family, happiness, and status. Unfortunately…
Soon, Zuo Zuo and Tong Tong got married.
After Zuo Zuo got married, her younger brother was left single. So, Tang Huihui, Chong Yue, Mei Bing, Zhang Yu, and Tong Tong would try to introduce him to potential partners all the time. In the end, he became a little afraid to go home.
Xiaoman was brushing Xiaohei's fur in the yard when her younger brother sneaked in through the door. "Mom, are Grandma and my sisters-in-law home?"
Xiaoman smiled. "Mom, your little grandson is back. Yueyue, Xiaomei, your little brother is back."
The younger brother looked at Xiaoman in shock. "Mother, I am your most adorable youngest son."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow. "That's why I had everyone come out to greet you."
As soon as Xiaoman finished speaking, Tang Huihui came out of the house. "You brat, why haven't you been home for two months?"
Chongyue came out of the house with her phone in hand. "Little brother, some college students have come to our company for internships. I've taken photos with each of them. Come and see if there are any you like? If there are, your sister-in-law will introduce you to some."
Mei Bing also came out of the house. "I have a few suitable ones here too. You can take a look."
The younger brother looked at Xiaoman pitifully. "Mother..."
While brushing Xiao Hei's fur, Xiao Man said, "Your sister-in-law Zhang Yu and your sister-in-law Tongtong have also found a few for you."
The younger brother trembled in fright: "Grandma, Mom, Sister Yueyue, Sister Meimei, I suddenly remembered I still have an experiment to finish. Grandma, Mom..."
As soon as the younger brother finished speaking, Yueyue and Meibing grabbed his arms from either side.
Yueyue: "Little brother, you used this trick the time before last."
Mei Bing: "The research institute assigned you an assistant, right? If you really have experiments that you haven't finished, then call your assistant and ask him to keep an eye on them for you."
Yueyue: "Little brother, we'll let you go as soon as you've seen the photos."
Brother: "Sister-in-law Yueyue, that's what you said last time. But after I saw the photos, you said the photos didn't do her justice. Then you insisted on dragging me to see her in person."
Yueyue: "Uh...the photos don't do her justice to her real appearance."
Younger brother: "Mother..."
Xiaoman glanced at her younger brother. "I asked your dad to help you get two months off from the research institute."
Younger brother: "Mom?!"
