“Does this uncle come to see you often?” Di Mingjue asked indirectly.
Children’s hearts are innocent; they don’t scheme or lie.
Qianqian nodded, then shook her head, an action that made Di Mingjue more flustered and uneasy.
“Daddy asks you, do you want to live together with Mommy and Daddy forever?” Di Mingjue touched Qianqian’s delicate, fair face and asked her seriously.
The life where the house has a father and a mother was what Qianqian had longed for since she was young. Especially during the time Di Mingjue was unconscious, she envied Xiao Shan and Xiao Hai every day.
Now she also had a Mommy, and two older brothers. Her heart became even more eager for their family of five to live together happily.
Qianqian wrote "want" in her drawing book.
Di Mingjue playfully pinched her nose and pointed at the man in the book, saying, “Then do you think I’m better, or is this uncle better? Or do you know the uncle’s relationship with Mommy? Do they meet often? Has the uncle been to the house?” xxs
He had been guiding her gently at first, but then he became anxious. Di Mingjue felt a surge of energy within him, an energy telling him he had to win; this was the spirit of a man.
*Swish swish* Qianqian wrote a line of text in the book.
[Uncle is Mommy’s friend.]
If she knew he was a friend, then the other person must have visited more than once!
Good for her, daring to cast his instructions aside and bring a man into the house.
Di Mingjue’s face turned green with anger.
“Does Qianqian know this uncle’s name, or where he lives?” Di Mingjue continued to inquire.
He wanted to thoroughly investigate who the man was that she was in frequent contact with!
The child was very smart; Qianqian instantly understood why Di Mingjue was asking her these things.
She giggled secretly and wrote a long string of text on the book.
[Daddy is jealous! Uncle and Mommy are very good friends, and Uncle lives downstairs.]
“What jealousy? I’m not jealous at all.” Di Mingjue denied it while looking at the last line of text.
Downstairs?
Could it be that those two children were that man’s children?
A melodramatic scene suddenly flashed in his mind.
She disguised herself as a single mother, and the other party was a single father. The children got along well, attending the same school every day, and returning to the same residence after school.
After some time, the children downstairs would come upstairs to play, and around meal times, the man would use the excuse of picking up the children to stay for dinner.
No wonder it was a little boy who opened the door today; he was expecting his Daddy to open the door, but he happened to run into him instead.
“Qianqian, remember, there can only be one Daddy,” Di Mingjue warned her sternly.
Qianqian nodded and spontaneously threw herself into Di Mingjue’s arms.
At this moment, Jiang Ziyu’s voice called them to eat from outside the door.
Upon arriving at the dining table, Di Mingjue looked at the table full of food. Two adults and one small child, how could they possibly finish this entire meal?
Heh, she was accustomed to preparing meals for many people!
Jiang Ziyu, seeing Di Mingjue still sulking, thought he was petty and didn't want to bother with him.
There was no conversation at the table, only the one-sided attention they gave to Qianqian.
“You two people, can you finish so much food every day?” Di Mingjue asked, seemingly casually, but his eyes gleamed, waiting for her reply.
Jiang Ziyu said offhandedly, “It’s just that I specially prepared more when I saw you weren’t coming.”
Di Mingjue saw that she could lie without blushing or skipping a beat, just like a normal person.
What a cunning woman!
He had seen the washed vegetables laid out on the table by the kitchen door beforehand. There was no way the quantity was added because she saw him coming.
Di Mingjue put down his chopsticks and scrutinized her, “I heard the landlord downstairs is a man?”
