Chapter 760 - Deception (1/2)
”It seems like my Sweets is very lucky. One father is willing to cook and the other is willing to feed her. Wow!”
”Jealousy is not good for health, Regan!” retorted Xiu as she opened her mouth and Xin Zimen put a spoonful of porridge into her mouth. ”Mmm... I didn't know dad is such an amazing cook.”
Xin Zemin smiled at her contently, ”Do you like it?” She nodded her head repeatedly. ”Then dad will cook for you from now.”
”Aren't you busy?” inquired Xiu.
Xin Zemin placed his hand on her head, ”I've been busy all my life. It's about time I should take a break for something that matters.”
”If I get to eat such good food daily, I'll be more than happy,” announced Xiu.
Xin Zimen pinched her nose, ”Our silly lass really knows how to eat well.”
Xiu grinned at him as she replied, ”I didn't know it myself before but now I think eating is my talent.”
”I thought sleeping was your talent,” said Darren.
Xiu looked at her husband, ”I'm evolving here, husband. Why are you looking back at this moment? One needs to evolve with time. Before I was only good at sleeping, now I'm good at eating as well. Who else has this talent?”
”Right. Not everyone can have this talent,” was Darren's reply as he wanted to roll his eyes but ended up losing his focus and had to close his eyes for a moment.
”Dad, Ah-Xin, you tell him do I need any other talent apart from eating and sleeping?” Xiu acted pitiful before both Xin brothers.
”No, my daughter doesn't need to have any other talent,” said Xin Zemin without any hesitation.
”Yes, our silly lass just has to eat and sleep well. The rest should not be her concern.”
While Darren lifted his spoon to eat, Francesca offered, ”Son, do you want mom to feed you as well?”
Darren looked at her, ”When have I asked you to do that?”
Francesca huffed, ”This is why I say you're not cute at all! I wish my grandchild is like Xiu.”
”You've already said that,” reminded Darren.
”Then I'll keep repeating it,” retorted Francesca. ”You weren't cute when you're a kid and you still aren't cute at all.”
Darren didn't listen to her and continued to slowly eat as well. He paused and complimented, ”My mother-in-law is a pretty good cook.”
”Do you like it?” asked Zhao Huan with a big smile.
”Oh, I love it. It's actually eatable, unlike my mother's food.” Francesca glared at him but couldn't say anything to refute his words. She really sucked at it and there was no way around it. ”But still, since I survived till the age of eight on her burnt food, I can't really complain. It actually helped me a lot.”
Francesca perked up, ”Right? Even though my food was burnt, it turned you into such an amazing person.”
