Song Song inexplicably started to feel nervous as the man picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. His expression was a bit enigmatic, leaving it unclear whether the food was tasty or not.
Xiao Beibei, watching from the side, also felt anxious, "Dad, is it good?"
"Just okay."
Xiao Jinghuai took one bite, then stood up from his chair and added, "Keep up the good work."
Song Song felt a sigh in her heart; she knew he wouldn’t be satisfied, and it was completely within her expectations.
Humph! Does he have a golden tongue or something? So picky!
"How could it not be good?"
Xiao Beibei didn’t quite believe it. His small body quickly climbed onto the chair and also took a piece into his mouth, "Dad, you’re lying! It’s obviously delicious and tastes super good."
"Delicious?" Xiao Jinghuai raised an eyebrow, took the hand towel handed by a servant, and said expressionlessly, "Then eat more."
Xiao Beibei: "..."
What’s with the old man’s awkwardness? Is he deliberately not liking Little Song?
"I’ll eat more if you say so." Xiao Beibei boldly picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp.
Song Song was shocked, the child was still so young, how could he eat the whole bowl? It would upset his stomach.
Just as she was about to stop him, the little guy had already finished the soup, slammed the bowl on the table, and burped with a sweet smile, "Little Song, it was really good. I’m just not as picky as my dad. Luckily, you’re my girlfriend and not his."
Uh...
Song Song glanced at Xiao Jinghuai, seeing his indifferent expression. When will he tell Bao Bei about her and him?
Or is he just going to keep it a secret, not saying anything?
Being teased by a child all day is really stressful, oh my! She can’t quite handle it anymore.
"Bao Bei, actually, actually..."
Biting her teeth, should she just say it now?
"Song Song!"
Before Song Song could speak, Xiao Jinghuai suddenly called her name.
That call made her freeze instantly. It seemed like it was the first time he ever called her by her name!
Why does she find the way he says "Song Song" particularly pleasant, seemingly different from when others say it?
She thought she must be going crazy, all thanks to Shang Tao’s mention of "meat compensation".
Uh?
He interrupted her, probably to stop her from revealing their relationship, right?
Alright, then let’s not say it for now. She didn’t have the courage to say it anyway. Suddenly having a reason to back down is just great!
Xiao Beibei pulled Song Song’s hand and coquettishly said, "Little Song, come on! Let’s go take a bath now..."
"Hey! Can’t you shower by yourself?" Song Song was reluctant. Even though he’s a kid, there’s still a difference between boys and girls!
It’s really getting out of hand.
The little guy spoke directly, "I can, but I’d rather you help me, or we could shower together. It’s fine too."
With that, the little guy ignored Song Song’s resistance and dragged her to the children’s room.
Unknowingly, someone’s face turned as dark as it could get, wishing to give the cheeky brat a good beating.
...
In the end, Song Song didn’t bathe Bao Bei. She just waited outside the bathroom. When Bao Bei came out, she carried him to bed.
Before, she didn’t feel Bao Bei was heavy, but today it was particularly hard to carry him, nearly resulting in a fall.
These days, she’s been feeling especially tired. After Bao Bei fell asleep, Song Song also got up to take a shower in the bathroom.
In the middle of the night, Bao Bei, in a daze, felt something hot pressed against him.
He slowly opened his eyes and turned on the bedside lamp, seeing nothing but the sleeping Song Song around him.
His little hand reached over to feel her forehead, and he quickly withdrew it in fright, scurrying out of the bedroom.
"Dad, Little Song has a fever..."
