Chapter 364: Chapter 364 [Fourth Update] I always feel something is off

"Not too sure?" Gu Liangjun repeated An Xi’s words.

After thinking for a while, he revealed a smug smile on his face, "Since we can’t be sure, shouldn’t we try to find a way to make this matter certain?"

"Husband, you’re so clever!" An Xi went along with Gu Liangjun’s thought.

Just like her mother-in-law said, men need to be praised, the more you praise them, the more formidable they become.

She didn’t agree with this, but she had always been practicing it, who could afford to offend the mother-in-law!

"Alright, I’ve come up with this idea, now you go and make the detailed arrangements. For the next week, I’ll be coming home daily. When Mrs. Song and President Song attend the program, I’ll also accompany you and our son to go."

An Xi: ...

What detailed arrangements?

Actually, the reason An Xi disagreed with her mother-in-law about praising men is because she believed the truth should be:

Men shouldn’t be praised, the more you praise them, the more of a fool they become!

Gu Liangjun was exactly such a man!

...

When Song Jinze and Ye Zhenzhen arrived home, Xiao Chen had yet to sleep. Seeing the two adults enter one after the other, he and Watermelon scurried up to greet them.

The little guy flung himself into Ye Zhenzhen’s arms, cooing, "Mommy~"

His baby voice was so soft, adorable, and cute that Ye Zhenzhen’s heart instantly melted. After changing into slippers, she naturally picked up the little one, "Mommy hug!"

Watermelon stood to the side, shaking his head and humming. Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Watermelon, mommy will hug me first, and then I’ll hug you, okay~

Mommy, Uncle Cheng said you went to the police station, are you okay?"

Ye Zhenzhen smiled and touched the little guy’s head, "Of course I’m okay. Are you still awake this late because you were worried about us?"

Xiao Chen nodded firmly, "Mhm, I was very worried, so I couldn’t sleep."

Earlier, when Aunt Li had tried to coax him to sleep, he pretended to be asleep and, after she left, he sneakily came downstairs with Watermelon, just wanting to wait for his dad and mom.

Looking at such a cute, soft and sensible little kid, Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t help but plant a kiss on his milky little face.

The little guy immediately burst into laughter and also gave Ye Zhenzhen a kiss on the face, with a ’smack’ that sounded so milky and adorable.

This amused Ye Zhenzhen to the point of laughter.

While laughing, Xiao Chen noticed his father’s face didn’t seem to look very good, and he asked his dad, "What’s wrong, Daddy?"

Ye Zhenzhen had her back to the man, and from the car ride when she had called him a hooligan, she hadn’t spoken another word to him. Hearing Xiao Chen’s question, she thought for a moment and still turned her head to glance at the man.

She still didn’t speak.

The man’s face was grim, and his dark eyes swept over the woman and child, casually letting out two words, "Hungry!"

Xiao Chen pouted, "But Aunt Li and the others have already gone to rest."

No one was there to cook for daddy!

Even though mommy could cook, the little guy was now selfish, not wanting mommy to cook for daddy. He wanted mommy to accompany him upstairs to sleep.

The moment he was snatched away by the bad guy, he had really missed his mommy. Now that he saw her, naturally, he wanted to stick close to mommy.

If daddy was hungry, then he could just go cook for himself!

Just as Xiao Chen was responding to daddy, Ye Zhenzhen also made a noise, not that she had spoken, but rather her stomach had rumbled hungrily.

"Hahaha! It turns out mommy is hungry too!" The little guy laughed joyously as if he had discovered a secret.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, "Yes, Mommy is hungry too."

She didn’t eat much at noon, and not at all in the evening; at the banquet, she just had a few sips of alcohol. If this man hadn’t mentioned being hungry, she would have nearly forgotten her own hunger.

Song Jinze asked her, "What do you want to eat? I’ll make it."

He had just had a simple meal on the plane, and when he said he was hungry just now, he wasn’t really thinking of food...

Since she mentioned she was hungry, he was actually willing to make something for her, to accompany her for a late-night snack.

Ye Zhenzhen thought for a moment and followed the man’s lead, "Anything is fine, anything at all."

He had already taken the initiative to ask her what she wanted to eat—she would be in the wrong if she ignored him now.

Besides, having someone cook was naturally nice, and she wasn’t picky. Moreover, she had already tasted the breakfast he made before, and it actually tasted quite good.

Song Yuchen raised his little hand and said, "Daddy, I want to eat too. I want to eat with you and Mommy!"

Since Mommy was hungry and he couldn’t cook, it made sense to keep her company.

Dad was back tonight, and he couldn’t sleep with Mommy anymore, so he had to cherish every minute they had now.

However, the next second, Song Jinze’s face, which had softened slightly, became stern again, "Song Yuchen, look at the time, why aren’t you asleep yet?"

Song Yuchen pouted his little mouth, looking at Mommy with a face full of grievance, seeking comfort, hoping he could stay and eat with Mommy...

"It really is late, how about Mommy carries Xiao Chen to bed? Little kids who don’t sleep at night won’t grow tall~"

Ye Zhenzhen really liked the little guy, but she couldn’t indulge him in not sleeping at night.

Song Jinze said what Xiao Chen had said was right—she, as the mother, naturally couldn’t contradict him in front of the child.

"Mommy~" The little guy nestled in Ye Zhenzhen’s arms, acting coquettishly, "I’m not sleepy yet, I want to stay with you..."

"Xiao Chen, tomorrow is the weekend. If you sleep early and be good, I’ll take you out to play, okay?"

Upon hearing he could go out to play with Mommy, Xiao Chen immediately showed a very happy smile, "Sure~"

"Then you go upstairs with Mommy, let Daddy cook something delicious for you, then you can come down later, okay?"

"Okay!" Ye Zhenzhen cajoled the little guy, her voice gentle, her beautiful and delicate face filled with tenderness.

Seeing such a caring and affectionate scene, the man standing aside frowned.

He furrowed his brows, his expression as stern as a strict father, saying to the little guy, "Song Yuchen, act like a man. How old are you that you still need your mom to coax you to sleep? Go upstairs and sleep on your own, right now."

Xiao Chen sulked, wondering what was up with Daddy today.

Ye Zhenzhen turned her head, "You go do your thing, I’ll take the child to sleep. He’s only five years old, don’t be so harsh on him."

Song Jinze raised an eyebrow, his voice softening quite a bit as he looked at Xiao Chen, "Mommy is very tired today. She hasn’t eaten anything and has no energy. Let her lie down on the sofa and rest a while. We are men, we should take care of women, understand?"

The little guy blinked his bright large eyes, feeling that Dad was right, but he still felt a bit wronged.

In the end, he reluctantly nodded, "Okay then, I’ll go sleep upstairs!"

Turning his head, the little guy then said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Mommy, you rest on the sofa for a while. I’ll go upstairs to sleep with Watermelon. You need to rest up, so you can take me out to play tomorrow!"

He really wanted to snuggle with Mommy, but since Mommy was very tired, he decided he would go sleep on his own.

Before Ye Zhenzhen could say anything more, the little guy picked up his fluffy Watermelon and scampered upstairs.

The man standing behind Ye Zhenzhen barely moved his lips, took off his coat, and stepped towards the kitchen...

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

She felt something was off!
