To avoid creating a conflict between your mom and Zhang Dong's, just send the fiance the photos anonymously. After she receives the picture, the choice will be in her hands."

After we finished cleaning up, we went to pick up Li You.

"Since it's like this, how about you make sure after you go back to your folk's place. If it really is a case of a fraudulent marriage, there's no need to say anything. To avoid creating a conflict between your mom and Zhang Dong's, just send the fiance the photos anonymously. After she receives the picture, the choice will be in her hands."

"What are you laughing at?"

We then accompanied Li You to the amusement park for the entire day. Then when it was evening, we went to a a place serving Korean food to eat. I took a look at Li You who was using the lettuce to wrap a piece of grilled pork before taking a few small bites to eat. I then looked at Xiao Huaisu who was in the middle of helping her shell some shrimp, while also looking after flipping the marbled meat. That gaze of mine then lowered, fixing on the ring around my finger.

"What are you laughing at?"

{This... this daughter of mine, is just oh so kind, so much so I couldn't help but shed rivers of tears.}Maybe I drank too much juice, but I needed to use the bathroom. So after asking Li You if she needed to go too and seeing her shake her head that she didn't, I went there by myself.

This... this daughter of mine, is just oh so kind, so much so I couldn't help but shed rivers of tears.

Xiao Huaisu let out a chuckle at her words, passing her a piece lettuce as he replied: "No need to worry about that, because even when you are counted in, you guys won't be able to eat enough to eat me out of house and home."

My heart then began growing warmer, feeling as if inside it, a flower had appeared... then two of them... then three... then—all of it was flowers!

Xiao Huaisu let out a chuckle at her words, passing her a piece lettuce as he replied: "No need to worry about that, because even when you are counted in, you guys won't be able to eat enough to eat me out of house and home."

There was suspicion on Li You's face at my answer, but she probably just figured it had to do to my food loving heart. Once she felt at ease, she stood up, and picked up a piece of the grilled meat for just for me.

This portrait of happiness that was me, wanted very much to cry for a little while, but as luck would have it, I was strong. I was in no way the kind of beautiful man who would just burst into tears at the drop of a hat.

There was suspicion on Li You's face at my answer, but she probably just figured it had to do to my food loving heart. Once she felt at ease, she stood up, and picked up a piece of the grilled meat for just for me. Then after dipping it in some sauce, she rolled it up in a piece of lettuce before very lovingly handing it to me as she said: "Here, this is for you. Uncle Xiao and I won't rob you of your share." Plus, right as she did this, Xiao Huaisu was looking my way, seeming as though he had something to say.

Thinking it over for a while, I still couldn't make any sense of it. So after after asking Xiao Huaisu for his account number and password, I sent her a private message to ask.So I just laughed it off and said it was nothing.

Li You held my wrist, looking at the ring carefully as she then asked: "Did Uncle Xiao give it to you?""Why don't you?"

Li You held my wrist, looking at the ring carefully as she then asked: "Did Uncle Xiao give it to you?"

"Why don't you?"

"Dad, all your teeth are showing—" Li You took a napkin to wipe the oil from her hands, looking at me curiously as she continued, "What are you smiling about that got you so happy? Can you tell it to me?"

"Why don't you?"

Anyhow, it was just grandparents giving their granddaughter some gifts. So as her father, I did not have any right to complain. Hence I left all those hot troublesome gifts for Xiao Huaisu to deal with and just cooled off.Thinking it over for a while, I still couldn't make any sense of it.

Papa Xiao and Mama Xiao didn't come back to the country often, so during this time they were busy visiting family and friends non stop. But even so, they still went over to my parent's place to have get together, and would sit around a table to play mahjong.——Are you still actually going to marry him?

Most of the time this would happen after dinner, and not a peep would leave any of them once they started building their great walls. Once they went into battle it was hard for them part. Across from them, I just looked on in pure amazement. It was a good thing I wasn't good at that game, otherwise, even if the bets were set at fifty cents a pop, I'd still lose every cent I have. It would be a bloody disaster.

I unconsciously closed my mouth after hearing her words, then giggled as I passed a chicken wing over to her and said: "It's just that it's been so long since I last ate grilled meat with you, so dad just feels happy—incredibly happy too!"

bibimbap is a bowl of rice topped with veggies, an egg, gochujang sauce (special hot pepper paste).

I took the drink Xiao Huaisu handed me, my eyes widened in shock as I cried in complaint: "You dipped it in wasabi!"With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."

I took the drink Xiao Huaisu handed me, my eyes widened in shock as I cried in complaint: "You dipped it in wasabi!"

Li You stared at Xiao Huaisu then, going on to say: "You're really nice to my dad."

But this daughter of mine was just oh so kind that I was touched. So I didn't wait at all for him to speak before opening my mouth to take a nice bite.

Li You stared at Xiao Huaisu then, going on to say: "You're really nice to my dad."

Xiao Huaisu could only smile helplessly as he handed me a beverage, while Li You looked at me with a face full of smiles, her eyes beaming with shrewdness before asking me enthusiastically: "Was it tasty, dad?"After getting back to my own room, Xiao Huaisu had just gotten out of the bath. Earlier, he was in the living room playing with Li You, building a puzzle. So when I carried her to her room to read her a story, he had gone to take a shower.

Goosebumps quickly spread over both my arms, and while rubbing them, I pinched myself, feeling a bit as if I couldn't believe this scene was true. Didn't Aunty Huo say Zhang Dong held an engagement ceremony with a blind date candidate who was a good match?

Hot—

"You know what, forget it. It's better if I sent it." After saying this, he sent all the pictures from my phone to his, then deleted the ones on my phone.

So hot—

Papa Xiao's gift was more direct, as he set up a trust fund in LiYou's name, and even gifted her a villa... along with an apartment in the downtown area. When they left the country, I remembered they had sold all their properties here, didn't they?Li You stared at Xiao Huaisu then, going on to say: "You're really nice to my dad."

Papa Xiao's gift was more direct, as he set up a trust fund in LiYou's name, and even gifted her a villa... along with an apartment in the downtown area. When they left the country, I remembered they had sold all their properties here, didn't they?

{'...'}Later that evening, after telling Li You a bed time story, once we were sitting face to face, I asked her: "Did you notice anything on my fingers?"

'...'

I shook my hand and asked again: "I'm talking about this!" I meant the ring—you see the ring, right?

It's so freaking hot! Even my eyes could take it and started pouring out tears. It was that freaking hot!

I shook my hand and asked again: "I'm talking about this!" I meant the ring—you see the ring, right?

Hearing me, Li You only stared at me innocently as she said in defence: "But when I dipped it in the wasabi, you didn't do anything to stop me, so I thought you were okay with it."Papa Xiao and Mama Xiao didn't come back to the country often, so during this time they were busy visiting family and friends non stop.

Li You stared at Xiao Huaisu then, going on to say: "You're really nice to my dad."

Zhang Dong smiled and nodded, seeming to not be able to stop his hand from reaching out to grab the one belonging to the other man tight then... lifted it up and placing a kiss on the back of it.

Xiao Huaisu could only smile helplessly as he handed me a beverage, while Li You looked at me with a face full of smiles, her eyes beaming with shrewdness before asking me enthusiastically: "Was it tasty, dad?"

Zhang Dong smiled and nodded, seeming to not be able to stop his hand from reaching out to grab the one belonging to the other man tight then... lifted it up and placing a kiss on the back of it.

That made me choke for a bit, but I still powered through and continued to eat. {Hey, your dad's just eating normally—normally! In no way am I eating too much, okay?}After a week passed, I stumbled onto the Weibo of Zhang Dong's girlfriend, and saw a post of her engagement ring, along with a stream of comments from her friends giving her their best wishes. This made me get hit by a sudden attack of conscience, as I couldn't bear to see a fellow sister get tossed into a fiery pit.

It's so freaking hot! Even my eyes could take it and started pouring out tears. It was that freaking hot!

"You're just trying to sweeten me up after the fact! You saw her screwing with me and you didn't say a peep!" I was furious, so furious that I ate up all the cheesy barbecue chicken wings, along with the shrimps and grilled pork too.

Hearing me, Li You only stared at me innocently as she said in defence: "But when I dipped it in the wasabi, you didn't do anything to stop me, so I thought you were okay with it."

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."Later that evening, after telling Li You a bed time story, once we were sitting face to face, I asked her: "Did you notice anything on my fingers?"

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."

Xiao Huaisu gave half of his peeled shrimp to me, and handed the other to Li You, telling her: "Don't bully your father."

I said nothing, and while choking back real sobs, I finished chewing that meat in mouth in tears. Then downed half my drink as I slowly calmed down.

Xiao Huaisu gave half of his peeled shrimp to me, and handed the other to Li You, telling her: "Don't bully your father."

"Okay.""You're just trying to sweeten me up after the fact! You saw her screwing with me and you didn't say a peep!" I was furious, so furious that I ate up all the cheesy barbecue chicken wings, along with the shrimps and grilled pork too.

"Okay."

"So what you're asking is, if it is that he swings this way, whether you should tell his fiance or not?"

This... this daughter of mine, is just oh so kind, so much so I couldn't help but shed rivers of tears.

"So what you're asking is, if it is that he swings this way, whether you should tell his fiance or not?"

"I do not."

Xiao Huaisu gave half of his peeled shrimp to me, and handed the other to Li You, telling her: "Don't bully your father."

"I do not."

"Dad, which part of you is low-key?"

Li You gave an "okay, alright" look on her face, then lowered her head as she began eating her share of the shrimp.

"Dad, which part of you is low-key?"

It's so freaking hot! Even my eyes could take it and started pouring out tears. It was that freaking hot!

With a look of veiled bitterness in my eyes, I then turned my attention to Xiao Huaisu and accused: "Why didn't you stop me! You're an accomplice too!"

It's so freaking hot! Even my eyes could take it and started pouring out tears. It was that freaking hot!

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright.

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."

When I asked about this, Xiao Huaisu indifferently replied: "They got a group of professionals in the country to start looking for the houses after they found out about Li You's existence. As for the real estate properties, they sold some of them, but they left a few to be taken care of by assigned personnel in case they returned, so they would always have a place in the future."

To which he replied after refilling my juice: "Did I have the chance to do so? Just as I was about to open my mouth, you had already stuffed it onto your own, and giving not even the slightest opportunity to me intervene since you already gulped it down. So why would I say anything after that, huh? It was already too late."

When I asked about this, Xiao Huaisu indifferently replied: "They got a group of professionals in the country to start looking for the houses after they found out about Li You's existence.

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."

When Xiao Huaisu saw me rushing back, he looked up and asked me: "Is there someone chasing you?"I shook my hand and asked again: "I'm talking about this!" I meant the ring—you see the ring, right?

When Xiao Huaisu saw me rushing back, he looked up and asked me: "Is there someone chasing you?"

After a week passed, I stumbled onto the Weibo of Zhang Dong's girlfriend, and saw a post of her engagement ring, along with a stream of comments from her friends giving her their best wishes. This made me get hit by a sudden attack of conscience, as I couldn't bear to see a fellow sister get tossed into a fiery pit.

Seeing me do all this, Li You turned to Xiao Huaisu, asking: "Uncle Xiao, with my dad being able to eat so much, aren't you worried?"

This made me get hit by a sudden attack of conscience, as I couldn't bear to see a fellow sister get tossed into a fiery pit.

Thinking it over for a while, I still couldn't make any sense of it. So after after asking Xiao Huaisu for his account number and password, I sent her a private message to ask.Li You hung her head low as she thought it all over, then lifted it and said: "That's okay then. Uncle Xiao is a lot smarter than you, and compared to you, I have more faith in him being able to do it. Anyway, when are you two getting married?"

Thinking it over for a while, I still couldn't make any sense of it. So after after asking Xiao Huaisu for his account number and password, I sent her a private message to ask.

Li You didn't even lift a finger, yet she already became a little rich woman just like that. But I had no intention of telling any of this to her, in order to avoid it being hard to teach her properly down the line."What are you laughing at?"

Li You didn't even lift a finger, yet she already became a little rich woman just like that. But I had no intention of telling any of this to her, in order to avoid it being hard to teach her properly down the line.

Hearing this, she bluntly replied: "Are you talking about your calluses?"

That made me choke for a bit, but I still powered through and continued to eat. Hey, your dad's just eating normally—normally! In no way am I eating too much, okay?

Hearing this, she bluntly replied: "Are you talking about your calluses?"

Looking at me, he asked: "Is Li You asleep?"Li You stared at Xiao Huaisu then, going on to say: "You're really nice to my dad."

Looking at me, he asked: "Is Li You asleep?"

"Okay."

Xiao Huaisu then replied to her: "What's there to worry about?"

"Okay."

Xiao Huaisu could only smile helplessly as he handed me a beverage, while Li You looked at me with a face full of smiles, her eyes beaming with shrewdness before asking me enthusiastically: "Was it tasty, dad?"Hearing this, she bluntly replied: "Are you talking about your calluses?"

All it took was those few words to leave me convinced.It was probably a half a month since Xiao Huaisu had sent her the picture, and I found out from Aunty Huo Zhang Dong was to be married on New Year's Day.

All it took was those few words to leave me convinced.

Ignoring that bit where she looked down on me, I stroked my chin, thinking it for a while: "For the time being, neither of us have the free time, so we were planning to do it next year, or maybe the year after that. Getting the certificate is actually super quick, but we still have to go back to France to get it. bibimbap is a bowl of rice topped with veggies, an egg, gochujang sauce (special hot pepper paste).

Getting the certificate is actually super quick, but we still have to go back to France to get it. We just don't time, no time at all. Anyhow, your dad and I are very low-key guys, so we haven't really thought about a wedding ceremony for the time being, but if we do, we'll tell you, okay?"

I said nothing, and while choking back real sobs, I finished chewing that meat in mouth in tears. Then downed half my drink as I slowly calmed down.

Xiao Huaisu let out a chuckle at her words, passing her a piece lettuce as he replied: "No need to worry about that, because even when you are counted in, you guys won't be able to eat enough to eat me out of house and home."

N/A ——Are you still actually going to marry him?

N/A

"Because I'll have two dads who both don't know how to do up my hair! I want a mom."

Hearing her, I let out a reserved cough, pretending to be all shy as I said to her: "Could it be he's not nice to you?" In reply to this she said with a giggle: "He's really nice to me too! I like Uncle Xiao."

"Because I'll have two dads who both don't know how to do up my hair! I want a mom."

"Is it tasty?" Zhang Dong, to the handsome man across from him offering him a piece of grilled meat, looked at him before taking a bite, with the other man then adding: "If it is, I'll grill you some more.""Because I'll have two dads who both don't know how to do up my hair! I want a mom."

"Is it tasty?" Zhang Dong, to the handsome man across from him offering him a piece of grilled meat, looked at him before taking a bite, with the other man then adding: "If it is, I'll grill you some more."

"What are you laughing at?"After we both huddled into bed, I told him about Zhang Dong and the man I saw earlier in the restaurant, and the ambiguous relationship they seemed to have.

"What are you laughing at?"

With a look of veiled bitterness in my eyes, I then turned my attention to Xiao Huaisu and accused: "Why didn't you stop me! You're an accomplice too!"

Maybe it's time get Li You to start calling Xiao Huaisu dad? While thinking over this, I ate my seaweed bibimbap[1].

Once she felt at ease, she stood up, and picked up a piece of the grilled meat for just for me. Then after dipping it in some sauce, she rolled it up in a piece of lettuce before very lovingly handing it to me as she said: "Here, this is for you. Uncle Xiao and I won't rob you of your share." Plus, right as she did this, Xiao Huaisu was looking my way, seeming as though he had something to say.

Maybe I drank too much juice, but I needed to use the bathroom. So after asking Li You if she needed to go too and seeing her shake her head that she didn't, I went there by myself.

Across from them, I just looked on in pure amazement. It was a good thing I wasn't good at that game, otherwise, even if the bets were set at fifty cents a pop, I'd still lose every cent I have. It would be a bloody disaster.

I wagged my finger at her, then said: "It's better for you to give up this idea of getting a mother early on, you hear? As for having your hair braided, I'll make your dad study very very hard to do it right. Trust him, alright? Because he'll definitely be a dad who can dutifully do up your hair.""..."

I wagged my finger at her, then said: "It's better for you to give up this idea of getting a mother early on, you hear? As for having your hair braided, I'll make your dad study very very hard to do it right. Trust him, alright? Because he'll definitely be a dad who can dutifully do up your hair."

"Lee Moli told me herself, and the relationship between her and Aunty Huo is really good too, so it couldn't be that she lied to my mom, right?"

On my way to the washroom, my eyes picked up a familiar figure in the corner of the restaurant, and after I got a bit closer, the voice sounded like... Zhang Dong's?

"Lee Moli told me herself, and the relationship between her and Aunty Huo is really good too, so it couldn't be that she lied to my mom, right?"

Hearing me, Li You only stared at me innocently as she said in defence: "But when I dipped it in the wasabi, you didn't do anything to stop me, so I thought you were okay with it."Papa Xiao's gift was more direct, as he set up a trust fund in LiYou's name, and even gifted her a villa... along with an apartment in the downtown area. When they left the country, I remembered they had sold all their properties here, didn't they?

Hearing me, Li You only stared at me innocently as she said in defence: "But when I dipped it in the wasabi, you didn't do anything to stop me, so I thought you were okay with it."

Is this what's called a thunderbolt out of a clear blue sky?

"Is it tasty?" Zhang Dong, to the handsome man across from him offering him a piece of grilled meat, looked at him before taking a bite, with the other man then adding: "If it is, I'll grill you some more."

Is this what's called a thunderbolt out of a clear blue sky?

"Then... if you had a place to live in, why did you say you had no way to go back then?"So hot—

"Then... if you had a place to live in, why did you say you had no way to go back then?"

"Is it tasty?" Zhang Dong, to the handsome man across from him offering him a piece of grilled meat, looked at him before taking a bite, with the other man then adding: "If it is, I'll grill you some more."

Zhang Dong smiled and nodded, seeming to not be able to stop his hand from reaching out to grab the one belonging to the other man tight then... lifted it up and placing a kiss on the back of it.

"Is it tasty?" Zhang Dong, to the handsome man across from him offering him a piece of grilled meat, looked at him before taking a bite, with the other man then adding: "If it is, I'll grill you some more."

Li You, who was drinking her juice, now did so slowly while looking at me too.Xiao Huaisu then replied to her: "What's there to worry about?"

Li You, who was drinking her juice, now did so slowly while looking at me too.

Feeling in a bit of a complicated and kind of gossipy mood, I secretly pulled out my phone and took a pic of that intimate moment between that guy and Zhang Dong. Then not wanting them to notice me, I snuck away after I was done.

Goosebumps quickly spread over both my arms, and while rubbing them, I pinched myself, feeling a bit as if I couldn't believe this scene was true. Didn't Aunty Huo say Zhang Dong held an engagement ceremony with a blind date candidate who was a good match?

Feeling in a bit of a complicated and kind of gossipy mood, I secretly pulled out my phone and took a pic of that intimate moment between that guy and Zhang Dong. Then not wanting them to notice me, I snuck away after I was done.

"Hahahahaha—"

So what the heck is going on now?

"Hahahahaha—"

Li You held my wrist, looking at the ring carefully as she then asked: "Did Uncle Xiao give it to you?"Xiao Huaisu kept a straight face as he answered: "It had been so long since anyone had lived there, so how could I just go stay there at once?"

Li You held my wrist, looking at the ring carefully as she then asked: "Did Uncle Xiao give it to you?"

I wagged my finger at her, then said: "It's better for you to give up this idea of getting a mother early on, you hear? As for having your hair braided, I'll make your dad study very very hard to do it right. Trust him, alright? Because he'll definitely be a dad who can dutifully do up your hair."

All it took was those few words to leave me convinced.After Xiao Huaisu looked at the picture I took, dragging his fingers through his hair, he continued: Are you sure he's got engaged and is going to get married?"

All it took was those few words to leave me convinced.

Maybe I drank too much juice, but I needed to use the bathroom. So after asking Li You if she needed to go too and seeing her shake her head that she didn't, I went there by myself.

When Xiao Huaisu saw me rushing back, he looked up and asked me: "Is there someone chasing you?"

Maybe I drank too much juice, but I needed to use the bathroom. So after asking Li You if she needed to go too and seeing her shake her head that she didn't, I went there by myself.

Hot—

Li You, who was drinking her juice, now did so slowly while looking at me too.

Hot—

Xiao Huaisu then replied to her: "What's there to worry about?"

So I just laughed it off and said it was nothing.

Xiao Huaisu then replied to her: "What's there to worry about?"

"{Hahahahaha—}""Since it's like this, how about you make sure after you go back to your folk's place. If it really is a case of a fraudulent marriage, there's no need to say anything. To avoid creating a conflict between your mom and Zhang Dong's, just send the fiance the photos anonymously. After she receives the picture, the choice will be in her hands."

"Hahahahaha—"

"Lee Moli told me herself, and the relationship between her and Aunty Huo is really good too, so it couldn't be that she lied to my mom, right?"He admitted his mistake, and I chose to forgive him

"Lee Moli told me herself, and the relationship between her and Aunty Huo is really good too, so it couldn't be that she lied to my mom, right?"

"Right as laid down. She played a lot today, and didn't take a nap at noon, so the moment she actually laid down, she knocked right out."

Later that evening, after telling Li You a bed time story, once we were sitting face to face, I asked her: "Did you notice anything on my fingers?"

"Right as laid down. She played a lot today, and didn't take a nap at noon, so the moment she actually laid down, she knocked right out."

To which he replied after refilling my juice: "Did I have the chance to do so? Just as I was about to open my mouth, you had already stuffed it onto your own, and giving not even the slightest opportunity to me intervene since you already gulped it down. So why would I say anything after that, huh? It was already too late."With a look of veiled bitterness in my eyes, I then turned my attention to Xiao Huaisu and accused: "Why didn't you stop me! You're an accomplice too!"

To which he replied after refilling my juice: "Did I have the chance to do so? Just as I was about to open my mouth, you had already stuffed it onto your own, and giving not even the slightest opportunity to me intervene since you already gulped it down.

Hearing me, Li You only stared at me innocently as she said in defence: "But when I dipped it in the wasabi, you didn't do anything to stop me, so I thought you were okay with it."

Hearing this, she bluntly replied: "Are you talking about your calluses?"

Did that woman not see the picture?

'...'

Did that woman not see the picture?

It was probably a half a month since Xiao Huaisu had sent her the picture, and I found out from Aunty Huo Zhang Dong was to be married on New Year's Day.

I shook my hand and asked again: "I'm talking about this!" I meant the ring—you see the ring, right?

It was probably a half a month since Xiao Huaisu had sent her the picture, and I found out from Aunty Huo Zhang Dong was to be married on New Year's Day.

Later that evening, after telling Li You a bed time story, once we were sitting face to face, I asked her: "Did you notice anything on my fingers?"——Are you still actually going to marry him?

After we finished cleaning up, we went to pick up Li You.

Li You held my wrist, looking at the ring carefully as she then asked: "Did Uncle Xiao give it to you?"

After we finished cleaning up, we went to pick up Li You.

"Because I'll have two dads who both don't know how to do up my hair! I want a mom."My heart then began growing warmer, feeling as if inside it, a flower had appeared... then two of them... then three... then—all of it was flowers!

"Because I'll have two dads who both don't know how to do up my hair! I want a mom."

Li You stared at Xiao Huaisu then, going on to say: "You're really nice to my dad."My heart then began growing warmer, feeling as if inside it, a flower had appeared... then two of them... then three... then—all of it was flowers!

I nodded in response, coughing lightly before asking her: "Dad's going to get married. So do you feel happy about that... or not?"

My heart then began growing warmer, feeling as if inside it, a flower had appeared... then two of them... then three... then—all of it was flowers!

Xiao Huaisu could only smile helplessly as he handed me a beverage, while Li You looked at me with a face full of smiles, her eyes beaming with shrewdness before asking me enthusiastically: "Was it tasty, dad?"I took the drink Xiao Huaisu handed me, my eyes widened in shock as I cried in complaint: "You dipped it in wasabi!"

Xiao Huaisu could only smile helplessly as he handed me a beverage, while Li You looked at me with a face full of smiles, her eyes beaming with shrewdness before asking me enthusiastically: "Was it tasty, dad?"

{So hot—}When I asked about this, Xiao Huaisu indifferently replied: "They got a group of professionals in the country to start looking for the houses after they found out about Li You's existence. As for the real estate properties, they sold some of them, but they left a few to be taken care of by assigned personnel in case they returned, so they would always have a place in the future."

So hot—

So hot—

"I do not."

So hot—

It didn't take long for her to send me a reply, saying: He admitted he was wrong, and I chose to forgive him.

"Why don't you?"

It didn't take long for her to send me a reply, saying: He admitted he was wrong, and I chose to forgive him.

N/A

So what the heck is going on now?

I wagged my finger at her, then said: "It's better for you to give up this idea of getting a mother early on, you hear? As for having your hair braided, I'll make your dad study very very hard to do it right. Trust him, alright? Because he'll definitely be a dad who can dutifully do up your hair."

So what the heck is going on now?

"..."

Li You hung her head low as she thought it all over, then lifted it and said: "That's okay then. Uncle Xiao is a lot smarter than you, and compared to you, I have more faith in him being able to do it. Anyway, when are you two getting married?"

"..."

The first meeting gifts Mama Xiao prepared for Li You was two stores in really—really—nice locations, which instantly made me become the lowest income earner in this family. Which, I'll be honest, hurt a little. Because, from now on, I'm no longer qualified to even say: I'm the one who feeds you, I'm the one who clothes you, yet you still don;t listen to your father!

Ignoring that bit where she looked down on me, I stroked my chin, thinking it for a while: "For the time being, neither of us have the free time, so we were planning to do it next year, or maybe the year after that. Getting the certificate is actually super quick, but we still have to go back to France to get it. We just don't time, no time at all. Anyhow, your dad and I are very low-key guys, so we haven't really thought about a wedding ceremony for the time being, but if we do, we'll tell you, okay?"

Looking at me, he asked: "Is Li You asleep?"With a look of veiled bitterness in my eyes, I then turned my attention to Xiao Huaisu and accused: "Why didn't you stop me! You're an accomplice too!"

Looking at me, he asked: "Is Li You asleep?"

Hearing this, she bluntly replied: "Are you talking about your calluses?"I nodded in response, coughing lightly before asking her: "Dad's going to get married. So do you feel happy about that... or not?"

Hearing this, she bluntly replied: "Are you talking about your calluses?"

Seeing me do all this, Li You turned to Xiao Huaisu, asking: "Uncle Xiao, with my dad being able to eat so much, aren't you worried?"

"Hahahahaha—"

Seeing me do all this, Li You turned to Xiao Huaisu, asking: "Uncle Xiao, with my dad being able to eat so much, aren't you worried?"

"{Hahahahaha—}"After getting back to my own room, Xiao Huaisu had just gotten out of the bath. Earlier, he was in the living room playing with Li You, building a puzzle. So when I carried her to her room to read her a story, he had gone to take a shower.

"Hahahahaha—"

"Okay."Looking at me, he asked: "Is Li You asleep?"

"Okay."

All it took was those few words to leave me convinced.

"What are you laughing at?"

All it took was those few words to leave me convinced.

This portrait of happiness that was me, wanted very much to cry for a little while, but as luck would have it, I was strong. I was in no way the kind of beautiful man who would just burst into tears at the drop of a hat.

"Dad, which part of you is low-key?"

Hearing her, I let out a reserved cough, pretending to be all shy as I said to her: "Could it be he's not nice to you?" In reply to this she said with a giggle: "He's really nice to me too! I like Uncle Xiao."

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."

Hearing her, I let out a reserved cough, pretending to be all shy as I said to her: "Could it be he's not nice to you?" In reply to this she said with a giggle: "He's really nice to me too! I like Uncle Xiao."

Thinking it over for a while, I still couldn't make any sense of it. So after after asking Xiao Huaisu for his account number and password, I sent her a private message to ask.

After a week passed, I stumbled onto the Weibo of Zhang Dong's girlfriend, and saw a post of her engagement ring, along with a stream of comments from her friends giving her their best wishes. This made me get hit by a sudden attack of conscience, as I couldn't bear to see a fellow sister get tossed into a fiery pit. Li You gave an "okay, alright" look on her face, then lowered her head as she began eating her share of the shrimp.

"Dad, all your teeth are showing—" Li You took a napkin to wipe the oil from her hands, looking at me curiously as she continued, "What are you smiling about that got you so happy? Can you tell it to me?"

After we both huddled into bed, I told him about Zhang Dong and the man I saw earlier in the restaurant, and the ambiguous relationship they seemed to have.

"Dad, all your teeth are showing—" Li You took a napkin to wipe the oil from her hands, looking at me curiously as she continued, "What are you smiling about that got you so happy? Can you tell it to me?"

We then accompanied Li You to the amusement park for the entire day. Then when it was evening, we went to a a place serving Korean food to eat.

"So what you're asking is, if it is that he swings this way, whether you should tell his fiance or not?"

We then accompanied Li You to the amusement park for the entire day. Then when it was evening, we went to a a place serving Korean food to eat. I took a look at Li You who was using the lettuce to wrap a piece of grilled pork before taking a few small bites to eat. I then looked at Xiao Huaisu who was in the middle of helping her shell some shrimp, while also looking after flipping the marbled meat. That gaze of mine then lowered, fixing on the ring around my finger.

Li You held my wrist, looking at the ring carefully as she then asked: "Did Uncle Xiao give it to you?"

After Xiao Huaisu looked at the picture I took, dragging his fingers through his hair, he continued: Are you sure he's got engaged and is going to get married?"

Because of this matter, I went back to my folk's place a few times, and even ran into Papa and Mama Xiao while I was there.

"Since it's like this, how about you make sure after you go back to your folk's place. If it really is a case of a fraudulent marriage, there's no need to say anything.

Because of this matter, I went back to my folk's place a few times, and even ran into Papa and Mama Xiao while I was there.

I said nothing, and while choking back real sobs, I finished chewing that meat in mouth in tears. Then downed half my drink as I slowly calmed down."I do not."

I said nothing, and while choking back real sobs, I finished chewing that meat in mouth in tears. Then downed half my drink as I slowly calmed down.

Anyhow, it was just grandparents giving their granddaughter some gifts. So as her father, I did not have any right to complain. Hence I left all those hot troublesome gifts for Xiao Huaisu to deal with and just cooled off.Li You, who was drinking her juice, now did so slowly while looking at me too.

This... this daughter of mine, is just oh so kind, so much so I couldn't help but shed rivers of tears.

"Okay."

This... this daughter of mine, is just oh so kind, so much so I couldn't help but shed rivers of tears.

After we both huddled into bed, I told him about Zhang Dong and the man I saw earlier in the restaurant, and the ambiguous relationship they seemed to have.

"You know what, forget it. It's better if I sent it." After saying this, he sent all the pictures from my phone to his, then deleted the ones on my phone.

After we both huddled into bed, I told him about Zhang Dong and the man I saw earlier in the restaurant, and the ambiguous relationship they seemed to have.

So I just laughed it off and said it was nothing.

Papa Xiao and Mama Xiao didn't come back to the country often, so during this time they were busy visiting family and friends non stop. But even so, they still went over to my parent's place to have get together, and would sit around a table to play mahjong. Most of the time this would happen after dinner, and not a peep would leave any of them once they started building their great walls. Once they went into battle it was hard for them part. Across from them, I just looked on in pure amazement. It was a good thing I wasn't good at that game, otherwise, even if the bets were set at fifty cents a pop, I'd still lose every cent I have. It would be a bloody disaster.

So I just laughed it off and said it was nothing.

{Did that woman not see the picture?}On my way to the washroom, my eyes picked up a familiar figure in the corner of the restaurant, and after I got a bit closer, the voice sounded like... Zhang Dong's?

——Are you still actually going to marry him?

When I asked about this, Xiao Huaisu indifferently replied: "They got a group of professionals in the country to start looking for the houses after they found out about Li You's existence.

Ignoring that bit where she looked down on me, I stroked my chin, thinking it for a while: "For the time being, neither of us have the free time, so we were planning to do it next year, or maybe the year after that. Getting the certificate is actually super quick, but we still have to go back to France to get it.

"Then... if you had a place to live in, why did you say you had no way to go back then?"

Ignoring that bit where she looked down on me, I stroked my chin, thinking it for a while: "For the time being, neither of us have the free time, so we were planning to do it next year, or maybe the year after that. Getting the certificate is actually super quick, but we still have to go back to France to get it. We just don't time, no time at all. Anyhow, your dad and I are very low-key guys, so we haven't really thought about a wedding ceremony for the time being, but if we do, we'll tell you, okay?"

{So what the heck is going on now?}After Xiao Huaisu looked at the picture I took, dragging his fingers through his hair, he continued: Are you sure he's got engaged and is going to get married?"

So what the heck is going on now?

After we finished cleaning up, we went to pick up Li You.Later that evening, after telling Li You a bed time story, once we were sitting face to face, I asked her: "Did you notice anything on my fingers?"

After we finished cleaning up, we went to pick up Li You.

To which he replied after refilling my juice: "Did I have the chance to do so? Just as I was about to open my mouth, you had already stuffed it onto your own, and giving not even the slightest opportunity to me intervene since you already gulped it down. So why would I say anything after that, huh? It was already too late."

Xiao Huaisu kept a straight face as he answered: "It had been so long since anyone had lived there, so how could I just go stay there at once?"

To which he replied after refilling my juice: "Did I have the chance to do so? Just as I was about to open my mouth, you had already stuffed it onto your own, and giving not even the slightest opportunity to me intervene since you already gulped it down. So why would I say anything after that, huh? It was already too late."

I took the drink Xiao Huaisu handed me, my eyes widened in shock as I cried in complaint: "You dipped it in wasabi!"

All it took was those few words to leave me convinced.

I took the drink Xiao Huaisu handed me, my eyes widened in shock as I cried in complaint: "You dipped it in wasabi!"

It didn't take long for her to send me a reply, saying: {He admitted he was wrong, and I chose to forgive him.}"Is it tasty?" Zhang Dong, to the handsome man across from him offering him a piece of grilled meat, looked at him before taking a bite, with the other man then adding: "If it is, I'll grill you some more."

It didn't take long for her to send me a reply, saying: He admitted he was wrong, and I chose to forgive him.

"Him eating you out of house and home."

Anyhow, it was just grandparents giving their granddaughter some gifts. So as her father, I did not have any right to complain. Hence I left all those hot troublesome gifts for Xiao Huaisu to deal with and just cooled off.

"Him eating you out of house and home."

But this daughter of mine was just oh so kind that I was touched. So I didn't wait at all for him to speak before opening my mouth to take a nice bite.

Li You didn't even lift a finger, yet she already became a little rich woman just like that. But I had no intention of telling any of this to her, in order to avoid it being hard to teach her properly down the line.

{Maybe it's time get Li You to start calling Xiao Huaisu dad?} While thinking over this, I ate my seaweed bibimbap. bibimbap is a bowl of rice topped with veggies, an egg, gochujang sauce (special hot pepper paste). [] This is the western New Year's Day on Jan 1st.[] This is something that happens out of the blue.[]That Zhang Dong bit was... All I'm going to say, is some things can't get prayed away.[]Anyhow, remember when that possibly more that $100k (USD) doll was the most extravagant thing a Xiao could gift a five a year old? *sweats in poor* ಥ_ಥ)

Maybe it's time get Li You to start calling Xiao Huaisu dad? While thinking over this, I ate my seaweed bibimbap.

Papa Xiao and Mama Xiao didn't come back to the country often, so during this time they were busy visiting family and friends non stop. But even so, they still went over to my parent's place to have get together, and would sit around a table to play mahjong."Lee Moli told me herself, and the relationship between her and Aunty Huo is really good too, so it couldn't be that she lied to my mom, right?"

Papa Xiao and Mama Xiao didn't come back to the country often, so during this time they were busy visiting family and friends non stop. But even so, they still went over to my parent's place to have get together, and would sit around a table to play mahjong. Most of the time this would happen after dinner, and not a peep would leave any of them once they started building their great walls. Once they went into battle it was hard for them part. Across from them, I just looked on in pure amazement. It was a good thing I wasn't good at that game, otherwise, even if the bets were set at fifty cents a pop, I'd still lose every cent I have. It would be a bloody disaster.

Thinking it over for a while, I still couldn't make any sense of it. So after after asking Xiao Huaisu for his account number and password, I sent her a private message to ask.

After a week passed, I stumbled onto the Weibo of Zhang Dong's girlfriend, and saw a post of her engagement ring, along with a stream of comments from her friends giving her their best wishes. This made me get hit by a sudden attack of conscience, as I couldn't bear to see a fellow sister get tossed into a fiery pit.

Thinking it over for a while, I still couldn't make any sense of it. So after after asking Xiao Huaisu for his account number and password, I sent her a private message to ask.

Li You gave an "okay, alright" look on her face, then lowered her head as she began eating her share of the shrimp.With a look of veiled bitterness in my eyes, I then turned my attention to Xiao Huaisu and accused: "Why didn't you stop me! You're an accomplice too!"

Li You gave an "okay, alright" look on her face, then lowered her head as she began eating her share of the shrimp.

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."

It was probably a half a month since Xiao Huaisu had sent her the picture, and I found out from Aunty Huo Zhang Dong was to be married on New Year's Day[2].

With a now darkened face, quickly tucked her in, saying: "Just... just forget about it, alright. Just go to sleep already."

Maybe I drank too much juice, but I needed to use the bathroom. So after asking Li You if she needed to go too and seeing her shake her head that she didn't, I went there by myself."Him eating you out of house and home."

After Xiao Huaisu looked at the picture I took, dragging his fingers through his hair, he continued: Are you sure he's got engaged and is going to get married?"

Is this what's called a thunderbolt out of a clear blue sky?[3]

After Xiao Huaisu looked at the picture I took, dragging his fingers through his hair, he continued: Are you sure he's got engaged and is going to get married?"

Xiao Huaisu gave half of his peeled shrimp to me, and handed the other to Li You, telling her: "Don't bully your father."Later that evening, after telling Li You a bed time story, once we were sitting face to face, I asked her: "Did you notice anything on my fingers?"

Did that woman not see the picture?

Li You didn't even lift a finger, yet she already became a little rich woman just like that. But I had no intention of telling any of this to her, in order to avoid it being hard to teach her properly down the line.

Goosebumps quickly spread over both my arms, and while rubbing them, I pinched myself, feeling a bit as if I couldn't believe this scene was true. {Didn't Aunty Huo say Zhang Dong held an engagement ceremony with a blind date candidate who was a good match?}This... this daughter of mine, is just oh so kind, so much so I couldn't help but shed rivers of tears.

Goosebumps quickly spread over both my arms, and while rubbing them, I pinched myself, feeling a bit as if I couldn't believe this scene was true. Didn't Aunty Huo say Zhang Dong held an engagement ceremony with a blind date candidate who was a good match?

"Right as laid down. She played a lot today, and didn't take a nap at noon, so the moment she actually laid down, she knocked right out."Li You gave an "okay, alright" look on her face, then lowered her head as she began eating her share of the shrimp.

"Right as laid down. She played a lot today, and didn't take a nap at noon, so the moment she actually laid down, she knocked right out."

Papa Xiao's gift was more direct, as he set up a trust fund in LiYou's name, and even gifted her a villa... along with an apartment in the downtown area. When they left the country, I remembered they had sold all their properties here, didn't they?

She couldn't have received it and still decided to jump in the fiery pit, right?

N/A There was suspicion on Li You's face at my answer, but she probably just figured it had to do to my food loving heart. Once she felt at ease, she stood up, and picked up a piece of the grilled meat for just for me. Then after dipping it in some sauce, she rolled it up in a piece of lettuce before very lovingly handing it to me as she said: "Here, this is for you. Uncle Xiao and I won't rob you of your share." Plus, right as she did this, Xiao Huaisu was looking my way, seeming as though he had something to say.

N/A

The first meeting gifts Mama Xiao prepared for Li You was two stores in really—{really}—nice locations, which instantly made me become the lowest income earner in this family. Which, I'll be honest, hurt a little. Because, from now on, I'm no longer qualified to even say: {I'm the one who feeds you, I'm the one who clothes you, yet you still don;t listen to your father!}Feeling in a bit of a complicated and kind of gossipy mood, I secretly pulled out my phone and took a pic of that intimate moment between that guy and Zhang Dong. Then not wanting them to notice me, I snuck away after I was done.

On my way to the washroom, my eyes picked up a familiar figure in the corner of the restaurant, and after I got a bit closer, the voice sounded like... Zhang Dong's?

When I asked about this, Xiao Huaisu indifferently replied: "They got a group of professionals in the country to start looking for the houses after they found out about Li You's existence. As for the real estate properties, they sold some of them, but they left a few to be taken care of by assigned personnel in case they returned, so they would always have a place in the future."When Xiao Huaisu saw me rushing back, he looked up and asked me: "Is there someone chasing you?"

Looking at me, he asked: "Is Li You asleep?"

——Are you still actually going to marry him?

Looking at me, he asked: "Is Li You asleep?"

Li You hung her head low as she thought it all over, then lifted it and said: "That's okay then. Uncle Xiao is a lot smarter than you, and compared to you, I have more faith in him being able to do it. Anyway, when are you two getting married?"

It didn't take long for her to send me a reply, saying: He admitted he was wrong, and I chose to forgive him.

"Him eating you out of house and home."My heart then began growing warmer, feeling as if inside it, a flower had appeared... then two of them... then three... then—all of it was flowers!

"Him eating you out of house and home."

"..."She couldn't have received it and still decided to jump in the fiery pit, right?

"..."

"Then... if you had a place to live in, why did you say you had no way to go back then?"

"..."

"Then... if you had a place to live in, why did you say you had no way to go back then?"

Li You held my wrist, looking at the ring carefully as she then asked: "Did Uncle Xiao give it to you?"Zhang Dong smiled and nodded, seeming to not be able to stop his hand from reaching out to grab the one belonging to the other man tight then... lifted it up and placing a kiss on the back of it.
