Chapter 1206: Taking Over Dad's Role
Watching Zhenzhen efficiently prepare the dishes, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but smile and say, "I didn't expect our Zhenzhen to be so capable, she's amazing!"
With a happy smile, Zhenzhen said, "Mommy works very hard taking care of us all by herself. I want to help Mommy share some of the burden!"
“Who says Mommy is alone? Daddy is there too.”
"Yes, and Daddy too." Zhenzhen muttered softly, reducing the number of bowls and chopsticks by one, and grumbled, "But Daddy hasn't had breakfast with us in so long..."
Lin Yuqing knew that Zhenzhen also wanted to see her father. She was about to say a few words of comfort when she heard a cheerful voice say, "Oh dear, it seems I've come at the right time. I can mooch a meal!"
Turning around, Zhenzhen smiled and ran happily to Da Zhong's side, hugging his leg and shouting, "Good morning, Uncle Da Zhong!"
"Good morning, beautiful Miss Zhenzhen!" Da Zhong picked Zhenzhen up and smiled brightly.
It has to be said that Da Zhong's smile is really infectious. After seeing it, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but smile more and said, "Since we haven't eaten yet, let's eat together."
Looking at the appetizing breakfast on the table, Da Zhong drooled and said, "Let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not just here for free. If you're going out today, I can be your driver!"
"What a coincidence! We're going to the Starry Sky Park today!" Zhenzhen clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhong, you're not so much early, you're just lucky!"
"Wow, I never knew our Zhenzhen was such a talented woman!"
The two people over there were chatting happily, but Lin Yuqing wondered how it was such a coincidence that Da Zhong came to find her just when she was about to go out.
Just as Da Zhong was teasing Zhenzhen with a smile, Lin Yuqing suddenly asked, "Da Zhong, Mingyang actually asked you to come, right?"
Da Zhong did not deny it, but said ambiguously, "Even if Mingyang doesn't confess, I still have to help you out. Besides, I can take this opportunity to go out and have fun. What a great job!"
Seeing that Lin Yuqing was about to ask something, Da Zhong quickly pointed to Xuan'er, who had just appeared, and said, "Everyone is here, let's start eating quickly, I'm starving."
Xuan'er had barely arrived at the restaurant and hadn't even stood up properly when Da Zhong pulled her onto a chair. She was only confused for a moment before she understood what was going on.
Da Zhong took a bite of the freshly baked bread, exclaiming "Delicious!" before devouring the food on the table. After finishing it off in a whirlwind, Da Zhong let out a satisfied burp, only to find the mother and son opposite him staring at him with astonished expressions.
Awkwardly wiping his mouth, Da Zhong asked, "What's wrong? Is my mouth dirty?"
Zhenzhen continued to eat her snacks slowly and deliberately. Seeing that her mother and Xuan'er were not saying anything, she explained from the side, "I guess they must think you can eat too much. You ate the portion that we were going to take to the Starry Sky Park for lunch later."
what? !
Da Zhong touched the back of his head, looking quite disheveled.
No wonder! I was wondering why I prepared such a lavish meal this morning, and there was only a small portion—how could they possibly finish it all? Turns out I misunderstood. What am I going to do now? I've eaten their lunch! What are we going to eat next?
Seeing that Da Zhongjun's face was red, Lin Yuqing quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, I can prepare more. Anyway, there's still plenty of time."
"No, no, I'd feel really bad if my presence delayed our trip. How about this, I know a newly opened pizza place next to Starry Sky Park. How about I take you there for pizza at noon?"
"Wow!" Although Zhenzhen was still clutching the small cake in her hand, she was already imagining the scene of eating pizza for lunch. Her greedy little cat-like appearance made the other three unable to help but laugh.
Lin Yuqing felt bad that Da Zhong was entrusted by Xiao Mingyang to take care of her and her two children, and that he had to spend money on them. So she said, "Zhenzhen, if you want to eat pizza, Mommy can bake one for you. What flavor would you like?"
Before Zhenzhen could answer, Dazhong gently nudged her shoulder and winked at her, saying, "How could something prepared in advance smell as good as a freshly baked pizza? Don't you agree, Zhenzhen?"
Zhenzhen, not understanding what was going on, nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't eat the pizza right away, it will get hard and taste terrible."
This kid...
Lin Yuqing had no choice but to let Da Zhong go his way, as he wouldn't cooperate with her at all.
Perhaps he had talked too much while trying to persuade Lin Yuqing, because Da Zhong suddenly felt hungry again. Thinking that he would eat out for lunch anyway, he ate a little bit while teasing Zhenzhen.
Xuan'er, as elegant as a little gentleman, listened quietly to Da Zhong and Zhen Zhen talking to each other. Suddenly, he asked, "Uncle Da Zhong, is my dad very busy lately? I haven't seen him in a long time."
Smiling, Da Zhong turned around and said, "Yes, your dad is indeed very busy. I haven't seen him for a while. But once he's done with this busy period, he can have a long vacation. He can accompany you wherever you want to go."
Hearing this, Zhenzhen felt a pang of guilt, realizing how hard Xiao Mingyang worked. She said, "So Daddy's this busy? I take back what I said yesterday. Mommy, how about we go to Daddy's company to see him after we get back from the Starry Sky Park?"
Lin Yuqing knew Zhenzhen missed her father, so she bent down and kissed her forehead, saying, "Daddy is very busy, so let's not bother him. But before that, if you have anything you want to say to Daddy, you can write it on a note, and Mommy can pass it on for you."
Upon hearing this, Zhenzhen was very excited and clapped her hands, saying, "This is a great idea! I have so much to say to Daddy, Mommy, please prepare some more notes for me."
"No problem." Turning to look at Xuan'er again, Lin Yuqing smiled and asked, "Xuan'er, how many slips of paper do you need?"
Holding her milk cup, Xuan'er pouted and said, "I don't want to write it, it's so childish. Besides, if I want to talk to Dad, why don't I just use the phone?"
Uh……
Xuan'er's words made Lin Yuqing feel embarrassed, while Da Zhong, who was sitting opposite her, laughed and said, "Oh dear, having such a smart child is indeed a mixed blessing."
Lin Yuqing looked helplessly at Xuan'er, then at the clock, and thought to herself, even if there is sorrow, it is a sweet sorrow.
After breakfast, the group drove to the Starry Sky Park.
