CH 8

It was still early, so Aunt Song stayed to prepare a meal, and Grandma Tao led the children downstairs.

There was a small amusement park in the warm community, and children liked to go there to play.

Su Miaomiao liked to play on the swing. When she ran over to see that both swings were occupied by children, Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Jingyuan in disappointment.

Xie Jingyuan didn’t understand what she meant. Did she want him to drive away the other children?

That was too domineering.

“Miaomiao, come and sit with your brother on the seesaw,” Grandma Tao led Xie Jingyuan to the empty seesaw, and called Su Miaomiao over.

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

Considering that Su Miaomiao must play to be satisfied, instead of letting her bully real children, Xie Jingyuan would rather be troubled himself.

Grandma Tao carried Xie Jingyuan up first, and then Su Miaomiao.

The green seesaw began to swing up and down, every time it was Su Miaomiao’s turn to lower, her little feet would stomp heavily on the ground, and when it was Xie Jingyuan’s turn, he was expressionless and perfunctory.

Su Miaomiao snorted. A Taoist priest really didn’t know how to enjoy life. Anyway, he had become a child, so he should have fun. Even the prince and princess in the palace didn’t have so many interesting toys in her previous life.

At 6:30 in the evening, Su Mingan came back from the company first, carrying that night’s ingredients in one hand, and rang the doorbell of 302 with the other.

“Dad!” Su Miaomiao threw herself into Su Mingan’s arms.

As cunning as a cat, she had been loved by others for so long, and she had already recognized that pair of relatives.

Su Mingan picked up his daughter with a smile, stood at the door of 302 and chatted with Grandma Tao for a while, mainly to find out if his daughter was mischievous that day, and then the father and daughter went home.

Su Miaomiao had already eaten, so Su Mingan fastened his apron, and started preparing his dinner with Tang Shiwei neatly.

Su Miaomiao sat at the door of the kitchen, watching him.

“Miaomiao likes to eat fish, so eat some with us later,” Su Mingan was busy cooking while chatting with his daughter from time to time.

Su Miaomiao placed her chin in both hands, turned her big eyes, and asked, “Dad, if my mom dies, will you find me a stepmother?”

Su Mingan almost cut off his hand!

He looked at his daughter in disbelief, “Where did you hear such words?”

Su Miaomiao answered naively, “Uncle Xie came today and brought Aunt Qiao along. Grandma Tao said they are getting married.”

That was really the first time Su Mingan had heard of it.

It was true that he and Xie Rong were good friends, but they each had their own families and were busy with their own careers. Unless they ran into each other in the corridor, they usually had no chance to chat, and Xie Rong would not take the initiative to mention the new love affair to him.

Xie Jingyuan’s mother had only been gone for just a little more than a year, and Xie Rong was going to remarry so soon?

“Dad, you haven’t answered my question yet,” Su Miaomiao asked persistently.

Su Mingan came back to his senses and met his daughter’s earnest face. He put down the kitchen knife, wiped his hands with his apron, walked over to pick her up, and answered with the same seriousness, “First, Mom will not die, and Mom will live a long life and stay with us. Second, Dad likes Mom the most, and only likes Mom. Even if something happens to Mom, Dad will not marry someone else, and will never find a stepmother for Miaomiao.”

People were different, and not all men were as passionate as Xie Rong.

Su Miaomiao didn’t have many opportunities to deal with people.

In her previous life, she had been a cat for a hundred years. She had only lived in the brothel for half a month before being caught by Xie Jingyuan.

But Su Miaomiao faintly felt that what Su Mingan said was true as he was worthy of her trust.

That was great. She didn’t want a stepmother, she only liked Tang Shiwei.

At that time, Tang Shiwei also came back.

“Miaomiao is acting like a baby with dad again, isn’t she?” She asked knowingly.

Su Miaomiao slipped from her father’s arms and ran to her mother to hug her.

Su Mingan shared the big news about the neighbour with his wife.

Tang Shiwei was also stunned.

Seeing that her parents were very interested in that matter, Su Miaomiao revealed, “Aunt Qiao is pregnant with twins!”

Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei were surprised, but after all, it was someone else’s business.

When the food was served, Su Mingan concentrated on helping his daughter pick out the fish bones, and then put the fish meat on his daughter’s dinner plate.

Su Miaomiao ate with great relish. The fish cooked by Aunt Song was not as delicious as the fish cooked by her father.

Tang Shiwei discussed with her husband while eating, “Miaomiao’s second birthday is on April 25th, shall we go to the photo studio to take a set of photos?”

Su Mingan: “Okay, what day of the week is it?”

Tang Shiwei: “Friday, let’s go on Saturday, it’s not a bad day.”

Su Mingan: “Well, we will eat cake at home on Friday night, and go to take photos the next day, and then go to the zoo.”

“What is a zoo?”

Tang Shiwei: “There are all kinds of animals in the zoo, including monkeys, lions and tigers. You will know when you get there.”

Su Miaomiao thought for a while and asked, “Is there a cat?”

Tang Shiwei smiled, “No, cats are too common, and the zoo is full of rare animals.”

Su Miaomiao blinked and continued to eat fish.

Tang Shiwei looked at Su Ming’an and said, “Miao Miao and Jing Yuan have the same birthday, let’s invite Grandma Tao to go with us.”

Su Mingan: “Sure, the old lady is old, so she may not have thought of these things. Let’s take them with us to the zoo.”

The next day, Tang Shiwei sent her daughter to Grandma Tao, and by the way mentioned plans to take birthday photos and visit the zoo.

Grandma Tao smiled, “Then it’s settled, don’t buy the birthday cake, I will order it. Everyone has to come to my house to eat that night.”
