Ye zhiqiao followed gu mohan to the living room. The two of them sat down beside little treasure, one left and one right. After staring at little treasure for a long time without blinking, little treasure finally couldn't stand it. He turned to say hello to ye zhiqiao and then continued to look back at the tv.
Well, it looks like he's really angry, but judging from his attitude, Zhiqiao was less angry than gu mohan.
Ye zhiqiao smiled and hugged little treasure to her lap. She asked, half-jokingly and painfully, "Little treasure, did your father bully you? Or was his egg soup too bad? Tell auntie that she won't spare him."
Little treasure curled his mouth and looked up at ye zhiqiao, then turned to look at gu Mohan. Seeing the sincerity and worry on both faces, he gently shook his head.
"Not because of dad?" Ye zhiqiao shook little treasure's two small arms and asked sadly," is that because of aunt ye? Little treasure, you can't help liking aunt ye."
Seeing ye zhiqiao show a look of grievance, xiao bao quickly shook his head again and added vaguely, "No, it's not that he doesn't like aunt ye."
Although gu mohan was very fond of little treasure, he really had no experience in coaxing children. Seeing that little treasure could not tell why he was angry for a long time, he waved his hand and promised, "Little treasure, don't be upset. Daddy promised to buy you the barbie doll you like recently after dinner."
Ye zhiqiao frowned when she heard this. Gu mohan's teaching method was obviously flawed and not beneficial to the development of children.
Just as she was about to remind him, little treasure had already rejected her, "I don't want it. I don't want barbie dolls. I want to play with aunt ye and dad... But you don't take me with you..."
Her voice was very low, but ye zhiqiao and gu mohan heard the last sentence. The two of them looked at each other and finally understood why little treasure was angry. It was because they had inadvertently ignored her.
After figuring out the reason, both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye zhiqiao rubbed little treasure's head and explained, "Little treasure, aunt ye and father are going to the kitchen to cook, so there is no way to play with you for the time being..."
Seeing little treasure's eyes dimming a little, ye zhiqiao hurriedly finished her unfinished words: "But if you want, go cook with aunt ye and father, okay? Your father is really stupid and will only make trouble. Little treasure will go over and help aunt ye look at him, okay?"
"Really?" Little treasure's dark eyes suddenly brightened, and his soft face was covered with smiles.
"Of course!" Gu mohan reached out to pinch her nose and picked her up from ye zhiqiao's arms. As he walked towards the kitchen, he said, "You clever little brat, you must tell me what you're upset about next time. Do you know what you scared dad into?"
Ye zhiqiao pinched his ear and threatened, "Don't talk about our little treasure!"
Little treasure shook his head as he watched ye zhiqiao "Bully" gu mohan, while gu Mohan, on the other hand, looked as if he dared not say anything and clapped his hands happily.
The three of them returned to the kitchen. Ye zhiqiao continued to fry the fish that she had not finished just now. Gu mohan was assigned to cut vegetables on the chopping board. As a supervisor, xiao bao stood on a small bench and stared at gu mohan's every move.
"Auntie ye, dad chopped up all the leaves of the cabbage!"
"Auntie ye, daddy cut the carrots too big for little treasure to bite!"
"Auntie ye, dad doesn't wash the knife after chopping onions. It stinks!"
...
And ye zhiqiao, naturally, was on the side of little treasure.
"Gu mohan, you have to work hard."
"Daddy gu, little treasure is changing his teeth recently. You have to cut the carrots thinner."
"Master gu, go wash the knife!!"
...
With little treasure's "Help," the lunch that was supposed to be eaten before twelve o' clock was postponed to one o' clock in the afternoon, but the three of them were busy cooking and stumbling, but they did not feel any impatience at all. Instead, they were immersed in the wonderful cooperation of the three of them.
Gu mohan leaned on the counter and watched as ye zhiqiao scooped a spoonful of the boiling soup from the "Chug chug chug." When she blew it cool and fed it to little treasure, her heart softened, as if the sun was shining gently into the kitchen.
He couldn't help but say, "This life is really good. In the future, I must put my work aside and let the three of us stay together often."
Ye zhiqiao paused and looked up at him with a smile, "Okay, then I'll stop writing designs and stay at home."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, then ye zhiqiao closed the fire and filled the soup. The three of them took the cooked food to the table together and finally ate the breakfast lunch and afternoon tea.
After dinner, gu mohan volunteered to wash the dishes. Ye zhiqiao was rarely free, so she stayed in the kitchen with him.
Gu mohan was clumsy when cutting vegetables, and the dishes were still clean. Ye zhiqiao drank a cup of tea slowly while praising, "Young master gu is not bad."
"Of course!" Gu mohan did not know how to be modest at all and looked rather proud.
After a moment of silence, gu mohan said again, "Zhiqiao, there's actually something I've been thinking about for a long time. I want to discuss it with you."
"Hmm?" Ye zhiqiao raised her eyes and motioned him to continue.
Gu mohan was so angry that he put down the dirty bowl and washed his hands before saying, "You... I want to marry you. Of course, don't get me wrong. I'm not proposing. If I propose to you, I'll be very formal. I just want to ask your opinion first."
When she suddenly mentioned marriage, ye zhiqiao, who had been smiling faintly, suddenly showed a slight stiffness.
It was not that she had not expected gu mohan to mention it recently, but that it would be on such a warm and beautiful afternoon. She felt that her answer would become a dark cloud that would hide the sun.
"Zhiqiao?" Gu mohan did not get an answer for a long time, and ye zhiqiao's face suddenly became somewhat ambiguous. He could not help but remind her.
Ye zhi coincidentally put the cup in her hand on the counter, hesitated for a long time, shook her head and said, "Mohan, I'm sorry. I..."
"Why are you sorry?!" Gu mohan interrupted her and asked in confusion.
"Listen to me first, okay?"
Ye zhiqiao pursed her lips and continued, "You know what's going on in your family. Uncle and auntie really don't like me very much. We may not even be able to get along peacefully, let alone enjoy ourselves. I don't think it's appropriate for us to get married in this situation."
