Chapter 948 - Taste Tester (1/2)

Xiu had placed a cushion on Xin Zimen's ŀȧp and put her head on it. In this way, she could see Xin Zimen's face without having to move around her head. Also, this allowed Xin Zimen to stroke her hair lovingly.

As he ate the flower pies she brought with his favorite tea, he felt like all the tiredness he had accumulated in the day had been shed off instantly. And since Xiu was a chatterbox, how could she not tell him about all sorts of things?

But as she continued to speak animatedly, he continued to listen attentively with a doting look in his eyes. He was neither impatient nor tired. He could listen to his daughter for hours, no, days! He'd definitely never get tired of her voice.

”You know your grandson is so unruly. Whenever I'm trying to dress him up, he always kicks my jaw with his small feet. One day I'm gonna eat his cute paws that always try to hit me. Also, he laughs so loud after hurting me that it makes me want to pinch him hard!”

”Don't tell me you really pinched him?” asked Xiao Li who came to join them and even took a flower pie to taste, being a natural at sneaking.

”Of course I did,” answered Xiu and grinned. ”But he kicked me harder in return so we are even.”

Xiao Li chuckled and Xin Zimen also couldn't help smiling at her reply. He should have expected that from her.

”Poor Rowan that he got a mother like you,” said Ah-Si who also didn't forget to pick up flower pies from his father's share.

”What about me?” retorted Xiu. She tucked out her bottom lip to show Xin Zimen, ”Daddy, you can see for yourself. I bled because of him. All I did was squeeze his cheeks in return. Is that too much?”

Xin Zimen rubbed her head affectionately, ”No. My daughter is always right.”

Ava tugged at her father's shirt, ”Dad, I also want huggsies! Xiu is getting huggsies from grandpa. I also want. Want! Want! Want!”

Ah-Si gave his sister a look, ”You're the reason my daughter is becoming wilful.”

”How is that my fault? I am getting huggies from my father. What does that have to do with you?” She took a pause and added, ”By the way, isn't it time for your daughters to get their beauty sleep? Why are you staring at me here?”

”Why don't you directly say that you want to disappear from here?”

”Yes,” agreed Xiu. ”I do want you to disappear. You get to spend time with Daddy every day. I don't. So, leave already!”

Xiao Li and Ah-Si gave her a look before they took their daughters and left her alone with Xin Zimen.

”My Ah-Lin must be really tired these days,” said Xin Zimen.

”Oh, I'm so tired that I've lost so much weight. Didn't you notice?”

”As if I don't know you've been actively trying to lose weight.”
