Ye Xingbei was dumbfounded.

Was it really necessary to make such a fuss just to let the child have a buffet meal?

Gu Junzhu gently touched the little fellow’s face, his voice was cold, but his actions were tender, “I have a friend who loves sweets. Nothing makes him happy unless it’s sweet. Ironically, he has diabetes. His doctor friend advised him to quit sweets, but he refused. His doctor accused him of courting death, but he said if he stopped eating sweets, every day of his life would be unbearable. ‘If I’m not happy, what use is there in living a long life?”‘

Ye Xingbei wanted to retort, but he waved his hand to stop her, “I don’t agree with his viewpoint, but obviously Xiao Shu hasn’t reached that serious level as my friend. Xiao Shu is still young, his life is long ahead. People regard food as their prime need, he gets joy from delicious food, are you going to make him eat simple food all his life? How much joy would he lose then?”

Ye Xingbei was left speechless.

Her eyes on Xiao Shu were complicated.

Gu Junzhu spoke so lightly, just because it’s not his child, after all.

Wait until he has his own child someday, then he will understand. When someone has a child, they hold them in the deepest part of their heart, not daring to let them take even a tiny risk.

Terrified of any accident.

Because that person is more important than her own life, she can’t bear any accident happening to him.

Due to such deep concern, she dares not risk his health.

The little fellow noticed that Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu were tense, his little hand grabbed Gu Junzhu’s, and swayed it gently, “Daddy, don’t be angry with mommy, mommy does everything for Xiao Shu’s good…”

The little fellow’s other hand held Ye Xingbei’s hand and swayed it gently too, “Mommy, don’t be angry with daddy, daddy loves Xiao Shu, wants Xiao Shu to eat delicious food…”

Ye Xingbei didn’t know why, but suddenly felt very aggrieved and wanted to cry.

She held back her tears, forced a smile, and pinched the little fellow’s cheek, “You said all that needs to be said!”

The little fellow looked at her pitifully, “Mommy, Xiao Shu really wants to eat buffet! All the other kids have had it, only Xiao Shu hasn’t. Daddy is so powerful, with daddy protecting us, nothing will happen to Xiao Shu! Please mommy, let Xiao Shu try it just once, okay?”

The little fellow’s eyes were misty, he made a pleading gesture towards Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei was both angry and couldn’t bear it. She suddenly regretted having found such a father for Xiao Shu.

Before Gu Junzhu came, Xiao Shu always listened to what she said.

Whatever she said, the little fellow would obediently follow, never retorting.

They’ve only met Gu Junzhu for one day, and the little fellow was already using him as a protective umbrella, as if having a father meant there’s nothing to fear.

When she saw Xiao Shu’s admiring gaze at Gu Junzhu, Ye Xingbei remembered a sentence she once read in a children’s educational picture book: In the hearts of young children, their fathers are Ultraman who can defeat little monsters, and they are capable of everything.

Even though the role of “father” has been absent from her son’s growth for five years, her son is just like all the other kids.

Now, in her son’s heart, Gu Junzhu stands as that upright, all-capable father figure.

The little fellow noticed Ye Xingbei had been silent for a long time. He felt nervous, tightly grasping Gu Junzhu’s hand, and whispered, “Daddy, let’s not go to the buffet.. Let’s have hot pot, okay? Mommy loves hot pot the most!”
