Chen Guo frowned for a moment but then sweetly smiled, “Dad, what are you saying? How could I ever dislike you? I’m just worried that you’re too busy serving me, and you won’t eat enough yourself!”
“It’s okay. Dad isn’t hungry. Dad is very happy just to see you. You don’t need to worry about me. Just eat well yourself!” Chen Feng felt touched when he heard his daughter considering him like this.
Mei Yan, watching on the side, revealed eyes filled with envy.
He was only nine years old and naturally yearned for fatherly love.
Unfortunately, Mei Yun was not a good father.
He rarely came home, and when he did, he only talked to Wang Yue and Mei Mu. There had long been a rift between him and his sons.
Mei Shu reached out and gently touched Mei Yan’s soft and fluffy head, whispering, “Yanyan, eat a bit more. If you like it, Sister will make it for you in the future.”
Mei Yan then put away his envious gaze, happily saying, “Sister is the best. As long as 1 have Sister, it’s enough!”
“What about your brother?” Mei Jing reached out and pinched his cheek, using public chopsticks to pick a dish that was a bit far from him.
Mei Yan ate happily, his smile revealing dimples on his cheeks. “Yanyan likes Sister the most, then Brother Xiao He, Big Brother, and finally you!”
Mei Jing was annoyed, and he pretended to reach out to pinch his ear.
Mei Yan laughed and dodged.
Mei Feng said, “Hey, there is a guest here. What are you two making a fuss about at the dinner table?”
Although it sounded like a reprimand, anyone could hear the indulgent tone in his words.
Regarding Chen Feng’s enthusiastic closeness, Chen Guo seemed a bit impatient. After answering one or two of his questions, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.
During the conversation, Chen Guo’s gaze never left Mei Jing.
This girl seemed a bit impatient.
Mei Shu already understood her thoughts. After dinner, when Mei Jing wanted to take her to familiarize herself with the room, Mei Shu also took the initiative to suggest going together.
Mei Jing certainly didn’t mind. He was happy that his sister valued his friend so much.
This finally gave him a sense of belonging to his home.
He never brought his friends back to play in the past because he didn’t want his friends to know that the two women were at his home.
But it was different now. After cleaning up, this villa had completely become a place where they could sleep at ease. He could bring anyone back.
At the door of the room, Chen Guo glanced shyly inside and said, “I’m actually a bit attached to my own bed. I feel a bit scared sleeping alone in a room. How about I go to your room first to do homework together? It might be very late after finishing the homework, and I tend to get sleepy when it’s too late.”
Mei Jing agreed without much thought, “Sure, come with me. It’s also a good opportunity to show you around my room.”
He was like this, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes careless and casual. It seemed like he hadn’t really figured out things related to feelings, so he didn’t think much about it.
Mei Shu shook her head helplessly, “You two studying in the room is not interesting. How about we do homework together in the living room? It’s livelier with more people, and we haven’t finished our homework yet. Besides, in the living room, your father is also here, and you can spend more time together.”
Chen Guo was a bit dissatisfied when she heard this, but when Mei Jing asked for her opinion, she happily nodded and said, “Okay, 1 don’t feel like sleeping right now anyway. I don’t know when I’ll come to visit my father again.”
Mei Jing raised his eyebrows strangely, “Uncle Chen lives in my house. If you want to see him, you can come over anytime. How could you not know when the next time is?”
Hearing this, Chen Guo pretended to be surprised and said, “Really? If I want to see my dad, I can come to your house anytime? Wouldn’t that disturb you?”
Mei Jing shrugged, “I don’t mind. 1 can help you ask others for their opinions.”
Chen Guo smiled gently and said, “If 1 can come at any time, of course I want to see Dad often. I wonder if Sister will be unhappy.”
Mei Shu pointed at herself with a smile. “Me? Of course I don’t mind. Just ask Yanyan and the others later.”
“Okay!” Chen Guo had just finished saying this when suddenly the door behind her was pushed open.
Chen Guo was startled, and the curse on the tip of her tongue was swallowed back. She glared angrily at the boy in pajamas who had just opened the door.
Mei He shrank his neck in fear. He wanted to quickly close the door and hide in the room.
This sister’s expression was too terrifying; he’d better stay in the room!
“Xiao He, don’t be afraid. This is Jing’s friend.” Mei Shu stood in front of Mei He, patting his head to comfort him.
Mei Jing also quickly explained, “Xiao He, this is Sister Guoguo. She will stay at our house tonight and may often come to play in the future. Do you mind?”
Mei He glanced at the now-gentle-looking Chen Guo, his tone a bit nervous, “No, no, 1 don’t mind..”
