Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Want to eat instant noodles?

After lunch, the roadside vendors had already gone home, but fortunately, there were still a few small grocery stores in town which sold vegetables and cooking ingredients.

Ye Zhenzhen asked Xiao Chen, "What dish do you want to eat?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment. He felt there were many dishes he wanted to try, but he needed to ascertain one thing, "Mom, now that we’re here, are you the one who’s going to be cooking?"

What he wanted to eat depended on who would be cooking.

If it was Dad, he could ask for something more complicated, but if it was Mom, he’d prefer something simpler so as not to tire her out.

Ye Zhenzhen: "Yes, I’ll cook!"

Song Jinze: "Dad will cook."

The two answered the little guy’s question almost simultaneously, then exchanged glances and suddenly laughed.

"You’re going to cook?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.

With a tender and doting smile always playing on his lips, Song Jinze replied, "Yes, with me here, you don’t need to cook. You just need to eat. Tell me what you want, and I’ll make it."

Even if he didn’t know how, there was always a way to learn.

Song Yuchen bounced around and began clapping cheerfully, "Yay! Daddy will cook! Mom is a girl, and boys should take care of girls. You rest, Mom. Whatever we want to eat, we’ll buy, and then let Dad cook it for us."

"Right." Song Jinze nodded.

[Woohoo~ I just want to ask, in which direction should I pray to find a husband like President Song? He’s really, just too perfect, oh my goodness!]

[Why don’t you pray to an eggplant? Do you have the beauty of Ye Zhenzhen? Do you have her capabilities? If not, no amount of praying will help, even until the next life.]

[Come on, some people should not be so blunt, alright? At least let others have their sweet dreams.]

[Every day, I watch the interactions between President Song and Ye Zhenzhen, and I feel like I’m getting love-struck. It makes me want to be in a relationship and then get married. Are all men this nice and gentle after marriage?]

[To the one getting love-struck, wake up quickly. Stop watching Ye Zhenzhen’s live streams all the time. Go take a look at An Xi’s live streams. It’ll instantly bring you back to reality. Go see what Gu Liangjun is like, and you’ll understand what married men are really like.]

[Gu Liangjun isn’t too bad. His greatest advantage is that the Gu family is wealthy, but the scariest thing is that many men are just average and are so conceited and selfish.]

The female vegetable seller watched the family of three with a beaming smile and said to Ye Zhenzhen, "Your husband is such a good man. He’s tall and handsome and can cook for you; he’s really considerate...

What do you feel like eating? Take your pick."

Song Jinze accepted these compliments with a gracious attitude and followed up with the seller, "Just pick anything you like. Whatever you want me to cook, I can make."

Ye Zhenzhen also smiled at the seller, replying, "Yes, he is really great."

As Song Jinze was selecting mushrooms, he overheard Ye Zhenzhen’s response, and his fingertips stiffened slightly, a knowing smile spreading across his handsome face.

While the little guy was still tilting his head, pondering over what to eat, his bright black eyes suddenly spotted an older girl sitting in the store, eating instant noodles on a chair.

The sound of her slurping seemed so appetizing.

He had never eaten instant noodles before and really wanted to try.

[Is Xiao Chen craving instant noodles now? Just look at his little eyes, hahaha!]

[I remember when I was a kid, if I even mentioned wanting instant noodles, I’d get smacked by the adults.]

[The me who eats instant noodles every day really doesn’t want to eat instant noodles anymore!]

[As a child, I wanted to eat them but couldn’t, now that I’m grown up, I eat them until I want to throw up!]

Ye Zhenzhen noticed the little guy’s gaze and touched his head, "Want to eat instant noodles?"

Song Yuchen nodded, "I want to taste what it’s like, I’ve never had it before."

Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t help but frown slightly. It was just instant noodles, yet she detected a waft of desolation and pity.

That made sense, children from a grand household like the Song family not having eaten instant noodles was normal.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen frown, Song Yuchen very sensibly shook his head, "Never mind, Great Grandfather said they are junk food, not for children. I better not eat them."

But why was that young lady eating them, and she seemed to enjoy them so much? Why wouldn’t Great Grandfather and Grandma let him eat them?

Last time, Shu Siyu said that at his dad’s company, he even added the latest instant noodle partner, sausages, into his noodles. It was so delicious.

In his heart, the little guy still wanted to taste what it was like. Thinking about it made him start to crave it, and he stuck out his little tongue to lick his lips.

The shop owner glanced at his daughter who was eating instant noodles and said to Ye Zhenzhen with a smile, "This little guy here, not eating his lunch properly, then getting hungry after we finish our meal—a dilemma indeed, so we have no choice but to cook him a bowl of instant noodles. He insists on eating them, not caring for anything else. I don’t understand what’s so good about the taste."

Ye Zhenzhen listened to the shop owner and slightly curved her lips, smiling without saying a word.

Then, she crouched down, lifted her hand to touch the little one’s tender cheeks, "Xiao Chen, if you want to eat them, we can buy some and cook them this evening. How does that sound?"

Song Yuchen’s somewhat disappointed face immediately brightened, "Is that okay?"

Could he really eat instant noodles?

Even though his mom said it was okay, the little one couldn’t help but look towards his dad involuntarily.

Ye Zhenzhen followed his gaze towards Song Jinze.

Song Jinze was in a great mood. After exchanging a glance with Ye Zhenzhen, he nodded in agreement, "If Mom says it’s okay, then it is, but you can only have it for tonight’s meal."

"Yes, only for tonight’s meal."

Song Yuchen happily clapped his hands, "Yay!"

He was really so happy!

[What is Ye Zhenzhen thinking, letting such a small child eat instant noodles?]

[Xiao Chen is over five years old, isn’t he? He has teeth and is weaned off milk, so why can’t he have instant noodles? Some people really are too controlling. It’s just one meal they’re talking about.]

[It’s normal for children from wealthy families to have never had instant noodles. Seriously, some people shouldn’t take it so seriously; it’s just a serving of instant noodles, and it won’t harm the child.]

[Exactly, instant noodles are not poison. My daughter is a year younger than Xiao Chen, and when I go traveling, I give her instant noodles, and it’s fine.]

Unaware of the barrage of discussions, Ye Zhenzhen felt that it was just a meal of instant noodles. If the child wanted to eat it, let him eat. It wasn’t an everyday occurrence, and for a child like Xiao Chen, it was rare to have such strong desire for any food, and she didn’t want to disappoint him.

What she hadn’t expected, however, was for Song Jinze to agree so readily.

She had thought he would refuse and that she would need to spend some effort to persuade him...

After buying groceries, the family of three went to buy instant noodles, along with some other daily necessities. The process was very quick and went smoothly...
