Youyou and Little Yichen exchanged a look and asked curiously, “Mommy, what’s the occasion today? Why did you bake a cake?”
“Do you want to know?” Yun Shishi smiled mysteriously but deliberately did not say anything else.
Mu Yazhe walked out of the kitchen with a flask of fruit juice and an apron around his waist, looking like a house husband!
When Yun Shishi said that she wanted to drink freshly squeezed fruit juice, he had gone into the kitchen. After studying for a while, he finally figured out a way to make some juice.
Youyou’s face paled slightly at the sight. His lips twitched as he glanced at the food on the table and then at his father’s apron.
“Daddy, did you make all these?”
Mu Yazhe placed the fruit juice on the table and glanced at them. Before he could speak, a voice came from behind him.
“Of course not!”
The angry voice was coming from inside the kitchen.
Youyou and Little Yichen turned to look, and saw Hua Jin walking out of the kitchen. He was wearing an apron and sweating profusely.
He snapped, “How could your daddy possibly know how to cook? I made all these! The cake is from the bakery!”
“You can cook?” Youyou was even more surprised.
“Of course!”
Hua Jin patted his chest. “I’ve known how to cook since I was young!”
Although Youyou did not say anything aloud, he was secretly wondering if they’d get food poisoning from eating all these.
Little Yichen was skeptical about Hua Jin’s cooking as well.
Youyou replied, “Mommy hasn’t answered my question! What’s the occasion today? She actually invited Brother Hua Jin over as well!”
Hua Jin felt even more aggrieved when he heard that. “Why? Can’t I visit on an ordinary day?!”
The boy chuckled and stuck out his tongue.
He added, “Also, you should change your address. Call me uncle! It’s uncle!”
“Alright already! Youyou, Little Yichen, it’s time for dinner. Go wash your hands quickly! I’ll tell you the good news after you’re done!”
Hearing that there was good news, Youyou and Little Yichen naturally could not wait. They immediately ran into the washroom. By the time they returned to the dining room after washing their hands, Hua Jin and Mu Yazhe were already waiting at the table.
The two little lads sat down and eagerly asked, “Mommy, it’s time for you to tell us?! What good news is it?!”
Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi exchanged a glance, the former was smug while the latter seemed shy. Under their curious gazes, a certain man leaned forward and whispered mysteriously, “You two are going to be big brothers!”
When Youyou heard this, he objected, “This is good news?! We already knew about it!”
She said, “Stop teasing them!”
Mu Yazhe then put his arm around her shoulders and smiled. Turning to the children, he said, “Congratulations, you two have a little sister! Don’t you think this is something worth celebrating?!”
Little sister!
Youyou and Little Yichen were stunned for a moment, but Little Yichen was the first to react. He straightened his neck in excitement and exclaimed, “Really?! Daddy, how did you know?!”
Youyou also cast a sidelong glance at Mu Yazhe, feeling somewhat doubtful. “That’s right, that’s right! Daddy, how did you know? Don’t tease us! Otherwise, we’ll be happy for nothing!”
Mu Yazhe raised an eyebrow and deliberately kept them guessing.
This made Youyou and Little Yichen even more anxious as they lamented, “Daddy’s deliberately trying to keep us in suspense!”
