Chapter 14 The Zhang Family on the Weekend
Su Qingxue became nervous upon hearing this and even forgot to eat.
He pushed aside the special lunch box delivered by the five-star hotel in front of him and asked somewhat nervously.
"Then...then...do I have no chance?"
Jin Xiaoru raised her hand to stop her from speaking.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be opportunities, especially for someone who looks like you. As long as he's not blind, he's full of opportunities and weaknesses."
"Oh my god, you scared me to death! You're so annoying! Tell me, tell me!"
Jin Xiaoru blinked and gave a malicious smile.
"Then you have to show me his picture first. I want to see what kind of magician has bewitched our school beauty so much that she's even pursuing him."
"If those wolves in our academy found out about this, they'd probably crowdfund overnight and send assassins to kill your man."
Su Qingxue blushed deeply at the teasing, her beautiful face gaining an even more shy charm.
Jin Xiaoruo sighed inwardly.
Let alone men seeing this, even a woman like Su Qingxue wouldn't be able to resist her charms.
This made Jin Xiaoru even more curious: what was so charming about that divorced older man?
Could it be that a curse has been cast on Su Qingxue?
Su Qingxue shook her head and said, "I don't have any photos of him, and he doesn't post these things on his WeChat Moments, but he's very handsome."
How handsome?
"Hmm... The two girls who came to buy his steamed buns, one flirted with him, and the other had her eyes glued to him. The thing is, it was only the second time they had met."
Jin Xiaoruo nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, he really does look quite handsome. You'd better hurry up."
"I know, that's why I asked you to give me some advice. Do you have any ruthless tricks, preferably the quickest ones?"
Seeing Su Qingxue's determined eyes, Jin Xiaoruo put down her coffee cup and said very seriously.
"There really is."
"Then tell me quickly."
"Quickly finish this! Pounce on him!"
"?!"
……
Time flew by and it was already afternoon.
Chen Yuan was not idle at all.
I originally wanted to wash Chen Youyou's clothes, but I didn't expect that the washing machine that came with the rented apartment was a counterfeit product. It broke before I could finish washing just one piece of clothing.
Chen Yuan quickly contacted the real estate agent and asked them to bring over a new washing machine.
I spent the whole afternoon messing around with it.
After finally getting the clothes hung up to dry, he had to go pick up the kids. He was busy like a spinning top all day.
After bringing Chen Youyou back.
Chen Yuan cooked dinner again. Since the system didn't provide recipes for any food other than steamed buns, the other dishes he made were only so-so in taste.
Fortunately, Chen Youyou is not a picky eater like him and can eat anything with relish.
This lessened Chen Yuan's sense of guilt.
After finishing their meal, Chen Yuan sat on the sofa with his daughter in his arms to help her digest.
Remembering the message Su Qingxue sent at noon, Chen Yuan gently patted his daughter's head and said.
"Youyou, shall we go to Grandpa and Grandma's house with Aunt Xiaoxue this weekend? We haven't visited Grandpa and Grandma in a long time."
Chen Youyou nodded vigorously.
"Yes! Youyou misses Grandpa and Grandma too, and wants to eat Grandma's steamed eggs!"
Chen Yuan: ...This kid is definitely complaining that the steamed egg custard I made tonight is too overcooked.
The old father wiped away a tear of bitterness.
At this moment, Chen Youyou asked again, "Why is Aunt Xiaoxue coming back with us? Didn't Mom always come back with us before? Is Aunt Xiaoxue going to become Mom?"
Chen Yuan: How can a child's brain circuits be so strange?!
He quickly corrected her, "No, no, it's because Aunt Xiaoxue was Grandpa's student when he was a teacher, and she wanted to visit him and show him some concern."
"Oh... then Youyou understands. Aunt Xiaoxue is very pretty, and she even braids Youyou's hair. Youyou likes her."
"Okay, it's settled then. We'll go back together this weekend. Shall we call Grandpa and Grandma together now and tell them about it?"
"Okay~"
Chen Yuan thought for a moment and then added.
"Hmm... Youyou, you're not a little kid anymore. Daddy wants to tell you that Daddy and Mommy have actually separated..."
What does "separation" mean?
"It means that Dad and Mom will never live together again, do you understand?"
"I don't quite understand."
Chen Youyou shook her head, half understanding but not quite. Then Chen Yuan continued.
"What's going on between Mom and Dad is a little hard for you to understand right now, but remember, never tell Grandpa and Grandma about Mom and Dad's separation, okay?"
Chen Youyou nodded heavily.
"Okay, Dad. I'll listen to you and I won't tell anyone."
"Good girl, that's a good daughter of Daddy."
Chen Yuan gently kissed his daughter's forehead.
Then I made a video call to my dad.
The video call was connected.
Chen Da's weathered and serious-looking face appeared on the screen, along with his shiny bald forehead.
No wonder he's been a teacher his whole life; his face is incredibly striking.
He looks like someone at the level of a dean of students.
But this very rigid and serious face melted like cream the moment he saw his beloved eldest granddaughter.
Their voices unconsciously rose a few octaves and even became slurred.
"Oh my dear, I've missed you so much!"
"Youyou, have you missed Grandpa? Grandpa misses you so much! Why haven't you come back to see Grandpa for so long? Have you forgotten about Grandpa?"
Chen Youyou chuckled and said in a childish voice.
"Grandpa, I miss you so much."
"Grandpa, I really miss you when you're not around."
Chen Da exclaimed "Hey hey hey!" a few times, his face crinkling with laughter.
"Oh dear, my darling misses Grandpa? How much? How much?"
"I miss you so much, Grandpa! I even dreamt about you last night!"
Chen Yuan: The old man's wallet is going to suffer another major blow this time.
Chen Da's voice attracted Wang Xiulan, who was watching TV on the sofa.
Wang Xiulan ran over in three quick steps, snatched the phone and money from it, and then used her face to push the screen open.
"Oh, my sweet baby! You only think about Grandpa and not Grandma! Grandma misses you so much, I can't even eat!"
Chen Youyou called out "Grandma" loudly a few times.
Wang Xiulan's heart melted upon hearing this.
"Grandma~ Youyou misses you so much, so much. I just want to eat your steamed eggs."
"I dreamt about it last night, and I was drooling."
