“No one told us anything, and Mommy also never talks about these things with us. I overheard Mommy, Auntie Zhu, and Auntie Jiang talk over WeChat that one time a long time ago, and I also know that he’s the reason you didn’t e back for so long…” Pudding explained.
Little Bean immediately nodded. “Yeah, yeah, Daddy, that man even looks sly and evil… I really don’t like him. Mommy always sells the presents he’s given us over the years and then donates the money to charity… I’m sure she dislikes him for a reason. That’s why we decided to co-resist him.”
“Um… co-resist?” His daughters were really geniuses , Qin Chu thought.
“Daddy, I’m hungry… can you take us to Ah-Xin’s Ramen?” Little Bean said, rubbing her empty belly.
“You guys go to Ah-Xin’s a lot?” Qin Chu was surprised.
“Of course! Mommy goes once a month no matter what, so we’re used to it. Seriously though, the noodles there are just okay, but we don’t want to disappoint mommy.”
“Mommy doesn’t go there because she likes their noodles. It’s the sentiments that matter, so stop plaining, alright?” Pudding glanced at Little Bean, marking the beginning of another sister-sister bickering session…
Qin Chu ended up driving the twins to An-Xin’s Ramen.
The owner was surprised to see Qin Chu; he froze for a second before greeting him with a smile. “Mr. Qin, you’re back!”
“Yeah.” Qin Chu nodded.
“So many things have changed over the years, I watched you and your wife graduate from high school, go to university, and get married. What a great family… Look how big your kids are!”
“Thanks, Ah-Xin. Three bowls of noodles please, with extra beef.”
Qin Chu and the twins sat down by the table he and Huo Mian always sat at when eating here. He looked around at the unchanged surroundings, and his heart filled with warmth.
He knew that Huo Mian only came here because she missed him. It seemed like his wife was just as obsessed over him as he was over her.
Suddenly, Little Bean mumbled, “I don’t think Mommy es here for sentiment, it’s because it’s free to eat here. I heard you deposited a large amount of money, enough for the four of us to eat here for a few decades, right Daddy?”
Qin Chu: “…”
“Mommy’s going to be shocked speechless by what you just said.” Pudding glanced helplessly at her younger sister.
“Look at you guys, full of weird thoughts.” Qin Chu looked lovingly at his daughters as he took out two napkins and wrapped them around with it, worried that their pretty clothes might get dirty.
After a few moments of silence, Pudding looked up at Qin Chu. “Daddy, I have a serious question to ask you.”
“Sure.”
“Wait, I need to interrupt, Daddy, you need to be careful… Pudding’s questions are really hard to answer, you should be prepared,” Little Bean warned Qin Chu with a serious expression on her face.
“Okay, thanks Little Bean. Daddy’s ready.” Qin Chu smiled warmly.
“Are you and mommy going to give birth to another baby?” Pudding asked in all seriousness.
Qin Chu: ‘…’
As expected, Pudding’s question was extremely hard to answer…
