Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 515: It Was All Zhao Gushen’s Scheme
"It was Gushen who made me feel at home. Even though we aren’t married yet, when I first officially came over, you all had me call you Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom, treating me like family, without a hint of alienation or rejection. It just felt so natural for me to blend in."
"Unknowingly, I shamelessly started considering myself as a part of the Zhao Family." Ye Fei lowered her head embarrassedly, her ears turning red.
If it were an ordinary family, saying this wouldn’t be a problem at all.
But this is the Zhao Family!
She couldn’t help but worry that thinking like this might make the Zhao Family elders feel she’s deliberately trying to flatter them, thick-skinnedly sticking to them.
The old lady noticed it and smiled, saying, "We had you call us those names because we consider you family. How is that being thick-skinned? That’s being filial. If you feel like an outsider, it would be unfair to all the sincerity we’ve shown you."
"Exactly," Chi Jingsi quickly added, "Don’t learn from those pretentious people who act all embarrassed. We don’t treat you as an outsider, and you shouldn’t treat yourself as one either."
"We even have a child, how can he be an outsider?" Xiao Mo said from the side.
Everyone: "..."
That child we’re talking about is you!
Ye Fei felt warm inside, so soft that she almost wanted to cry.
Her eyes brimmed with a wave of warmth.
She even felt an impulse to rush into the embrace of the old lady and Chi Jingsi.
How could there be family members so warm?
But upon hearing Xiao Mo’s words, she burst into laughter immediately.
At this moment, Aunt Lin came out with plates of food, saying, "Old Master, Old Madam, Sir, Madam, Young Master, Young Madam, Xiao Mo, time for dinner."
So everyone went to have dinner together again.
The little guy had some snacks on the road.
But the old lady controlled it, not allowing him to eat too much.
She was afraid he wouldn’t be able to eat immediately after returning at night and Xiao Mo would be hungry, so she let him have a little.
Now it’s almost all digested, and he’s got a good appetite for eating.
The old lady specifically had Xiao Mo sit between her and the old master.
Although Xiao Mo doesn’t need anyone to take care of him while eating, he can eat very well by himself.
Seeing the two elders so fond of him, Ye Fei couldn’t help but think of Zhao Gushen’s proposal.
Coincidentally, Zhao Gushen seemed to be in sync with her thoughts.
Ye Fei just thought of this, and heard Zhao Gushen beside her say, "Xiao Mo, do you want to stay over occasionally and play with your great-grandfather and great-grandmother?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
The little guy looked up, bewildered, "Huh?"
The two elders looked at Zhao Gushen in surprise.
Zhao Gushen then said, "Seeing how much you both like Xiao Mo, Xiao Fei and I think, even if we bring Xiao Mo here every week, the time he spends here is limited, just a few hours."
"Before you’ve had enough fun with him, Xiao Mo has to leave." Zhao Gushen said.
The little guy immediately felt it seemed like that indeed.
"So, we were thinking, if you two are willing and Xiao Mo is happy too, we could let him come stay over one or two nights each weekend, play here, and accompany you."
"But it doesn’t have to be fixed every week. For example, if we take Xiao Mo out, we might not be able to let him come and stay." Zhao Gushen explained further.
Even so, the two elders were very happy.
The old lady immediately nodded, "Of course."
"Xiao Mo, what do you think?" The old lady thought it was still important to respect Xiao Mo’s opinion.
Xiao Mo and Ye Fei had relied on each other for so many years. In his heart, Ye Fei was always the most important, irreplaceable by anyone.
Xiao Mo certainly had never been apart from Ye Fei.
Even if they were at his own home, without Ye Fei, Xiao Mo might still miss her.
The old lady was afraid that the little guy couldn’t bear to part.
"I can!" Xiao Mo nodded cheerfully, without a bit of difficulty, "I also want to accompany my great-grandfather and great-grandmother."
He looked at the two elders’ white hair, and regarding matters of life and death, Xiao Mo was actually aware of it all.
"I like my great-grandfather and great-grandmother." The little guy said, "I want to play with you."
"Great, great, great!" The old master clapped his hands in joy.
The old lady’s eyelid twitched, this old man, why does he look so lecherous rubbing his hands!
The old lady couldn’t bear to look at the old man like that.
At this moment, they heard Zhao Gushen say, "Since that’s the case, let Xiao Mo stay tonight then."
The little guy, as if heartless, said while gnawing on ribs, "Okay, okay."
"Staying now? The old lady was surprised, is it really that straightforward and brisk?
Zhao Gushen chuckled, "Grandma, are you saying you don’t want Xiao Mo to stay?"
The little guy immediately stopped gnawing on the ribs, opened his little greasy mouth wide, and looked up at the old lady in shock.
Could it be that the great-grandmother is just humoring him?
She doesn’t actually want him to stay?
Isn’t he the most lovable?
The little guy was heartbroken.
"Stop joking!" The old lady said angrily.
In front of the child!
This rascal, what nonsense are you spouting!
"How could I not want Xiao Mo to stay!" The old lady said, leaning down to plant a kiss on the little guy’s face, "Of course, I hope Xiao Mo stays, every day if possible."
The little guy nodded with relief.
It seems he’s still so adorable.
"I was worried that Xiao Fei might not be used to it." The old lady explained.
The old lady turned to ask Ye Fei, "Xiao Fei, will you miss Xiao Mo? It’s the first time you’ve been apart since Xiao Mo grew up, right? I’m afraid that all of a sudden, the house is missing the little guy’s voice, and you’ll feel lonely."
"How about you both stay tonight? Get used to it first. Just let Xiao Mo get used to it too. In case this little guy is now saying it so easily, but can’t find you then and starts missing you." The old lady laughed and said.
Ye Fei thought about it, and it was true.
She really hasn’t been apart from Xiao Mo.
Now with Xiao Mo right before her, she might not feel it.
But she’s afraid that once home, without Xiao Mo, the house would be suddenly too quiet.
When she then starts missing him, it won’t be easy to come back.
Ye Fei was just about to agree when Zhao Gushen chimed in: "No need!"
Nonsense, finally persuading Ye Fei to let Xiao Mo stay for one night.
They can enjoy their time together.
If they all stay at the old house, how can they enjoy their time together!
"You have to get used to it!" Zhao Gushen said, "Besides, I’ll be with Xiao Fei."
"And Xiao Mo might not even miss Xiao Fei." This kid adapts very well, "Even if he truly misses her, we can always come over then."
"Let Xiao Mo get used to it first. Besides, as a boy, he has to leave home eventually." Zhao Gushen added.
The old lady was very suspicious that this was all part of Zhao Gushen’s plot.
All this talk about thinking they miss Xiao Mo.
