Lin Chen was furious. Zhao Tianyou had no bottom line, even trying to harm a two-year-old like Lin Xiaoxi.
"Xixi, come here, Daddy will hold you."
Lin Chen smiled and reached out to take Lin Xiaoxi.
He was furious in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.
"Xixi, in the stories Daddy writes, are there kids who get tricked by bad guys?"
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoxi and asked gently.
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
Lin Chen: "You know Zhao Tianyou is a bad guy, so why did you believe him? You're a smart girl, you can't be tricked so easily."
Lin Xiaoxi was stunned.
"Daddy, is he lying to me?"
Lin Chen wiped away her tears and smiled. "Didn't you see Daddy and Mommy holding hands and hugging? How could it be a fake marriage if Daddy and Mommy are like this?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
She looked at Xu Mengyao: "Mommy, is it true?"
"Of course, what Daddy said is true."
"Don't you believe Daddy?"
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Xiaoxi kissed Lin Chen.
"Daddy, you can't leave Mommy and me, okay? If you do, I'll be so, so sad."
Lin Chen reached out his other hand.
Xu Mengyao stepped forward, and Lin Chen embraced her as well.
"Daddy won't leave you and Mommy. You can't be so easily fooled from now on, okay? If you're still so easily tricked, you'll be a little silly."
Lin Chen said with a smile.
Lin Xiaoxi giggled and said, "Daddy, I'm a little silly, you're a big silly, and Mommy is silly."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
"Xiaoxi, thank you. You still remember me at a time like this."
Lin Chen let go of Xu Mengyao.
Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue were still watching.
Xu Mengyao's face turned red. Yang Qingyue smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, your parents have a very good relationship. You must never believe rumors from others in the future."
"Mmhmm."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded.
"Grandma, I have a question."
Xu Mengyao thought, this isn't good.
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong?"
Lin Xiaoxi said in a childish voice, "Grandma, Grandpa and I sleep together, and Mommy and Daddy, why can't we sleep together?"
"This..."
Yang Qingyue was in a difficult position.
How to answer this?
Lin Chen said, "Xiaoxi, Grandma and Grandpa haven't seen you in a long time, they miss you very much. Even if they don't sleep comfortably, they still want to sleep with you."
"Daddy has to read books and write stories, doesn't he sleep pretty late? Daddy also gets up early in the morning, sleeping together will affect you and Mommy."
Lin Xiaoxi seemed to understand, but not quite.
"Daddy, is that how it is?"
Lin Chen nodded. "There's another reason, Xiaoxi, you kick off the covers. When you get a little older and stop kicking them off, then we can sleep together, okay?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue.
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Yang, would you like to come over to my place and have a look?"
Yang Qingyue smiled, "We were just thinking the same thing."
Xu Guofeng nodded. "We'll go."
Of course, they wanted to know how their daughter was doing now and what kind of environment Lin Xiaoxi was in.
They had seen some things on the video call, but not everything.
Soon, Lin Chen and the others set off.
They could still have lunch there if they went to Ziyuan Community now. Xu Guofeng and the others had long wanted to eat Lin Chen's cooking.
An hour later, Lin Chen and the others arrived at Ziyuan Community.
"Uncle Xu, Aunt Yang, welcome." Lin Chen invited Xu Guofeng and the others into the house.
"Xiaoxi, I have a task for you."
"Take your grandparents around the house."
Lin Chen put Lin Xiaoxi down.
"Alright!"
Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly.
Soon, Xu Guofeng and the others finished their tour.
Lin Chen's apartment was only 160 square meters, naturally much smaller than their villa. However, a family of three living in such a place felt more cozy.
"Lin Chen, your place is quite nice."
"It's just lacking some functional rooms. If Xiaoxi gets older, it won't be very convenient for her to learn musical instruments and such."
Xu Guofeng said.
Xu Mengyao: "Dad, Lin Chen bought a Shop outside the Community. It has a Music Room and a Dance Studio. It's almost completely renovated now."
Lin Chen was surprised, "So fast?"
Xu Mengyao was in charge of the renovation, so he hadn't paid much attention.
Xu Mengyao nodded.
"I spent a little more money, so the renovation went faster. This way, there's time to air it out after the renovation is finished."
Xu Mengyao had installed a fresh air system, so they didn't need to worry about formaldehyde, but a newly renovated house would still have some odors.
Yang Qingyue said, "Having the Music Room outside is great. Playing the piano at home can disturb the neighbors. Mengyao, it looks like you'll be living here for the next few years."
Xu Mengyao nodded.
Lin Chen said, "Mengyao, you guys go downstairs and take a look around. I'll cook. Come back for lunch at twelve o'clock sharp."
"Honey, Mom and Dad can take Xiaoxi down. I'll help you."
Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao, amused. "Mengyao, you helping? Are you sure you won't just make things worse? No need for your help. For me, researching food is a pleasure."
"If you don't let me help, you'll be done in an hour. If I help, I figure it'll take at least an hour and a half."
Xu Mengyao rolled her beautiful eyes at Lin Chen.
"That's slander."
"If you don't want my help, I'm leaving then."
Xu Mengyao showed Yang Qingyue and the others around downstairs, then took them to see the Shop that was still under renovation.
They arrived home before noon, and the meal was ready.
Lin Chen brought dish after dish to the table.
Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue were stunned. The dishes Lin Chen made were simply works of art.
They had eaten Lin Chen's cooking before, but it was brought over in lunch boxes, so the taste wasn't greatly affected, but the presentation had suffered.
Now, the dishes looked perfect, appealing to all the senses.
"Uncle Xu, shall we have a drink?"
Lin Chen smiled.
Xu Guofeng nodded. "We have to have a drink; otherwise, we'd be doing your cooking a disservice."
Lin Chen opened a bottle of wine, and they sat down. Xu Guofeng and the others quickly picked up their chopsticks and tasted the food. They were astonished.
The food tasted even better than anything they'd eaten before.
"Xiao Lin, your cooking is absolutely amazing," Yang Qingyue exclaimed.
Xu Guofeng added, "Your cooking has actually improved again; it's unbelievable. Even a state banquet wouldn't be at this level."
"Is your cooking at the Realm of Perfection like your calligraphy?"
Lin Chen was puzzled. "What Realm of Perfection?"
Xu Guofeng chuckled, "Some people online say your calligraphy is divine, reaching the Realm of Perfection. Is your cooking at the same level?"
Lin Chen nodded.
"It's the same realm."
"But I write less and cook more, so my cooking is a bit stronger."
Xu Guofeng and the others were secretly amazed.
Lin Chen's calligraphy was already monstrous, and his cooking was even better?
Xu Guofeng asked, "Why don't you spend more time studying calligraphy? Great calligraphy can go down in history."
Lin Chen put some food in Lin Xiaoxi's bowl, "Uncle Xu, my calligraphy is alright. Besides, I'm young, no need to rush."
"Between the two, I think cooking is more important. If the cooking is good, the whole family is happy, right Xiaoxi?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded repeatedly.
