Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow at him: What do you mean by that?

The sixth brother was clearly hinting, without outright saying it, that he never expected you, the mostly carefree second brother, to have such a well-behaved son.

"Mom has finished cooking, and uncle is stir-frying the dishes." As he greeted his uncle and father at the door, Lingxin explained while finding slippers for his father and uncle.

Hearing that it was his brother-in-law cooking, Yebai’s eyes squinted twice in disbelief.

As they entered, the house was filled with a delightful aroma, all coming from the food.

Wow, Zang Xiaolian exclaimed: "This cooking skill is definitely better than mine."

It seems that everyone in the Gu Family, except Father Gu, is a culinary expert. Yebai suddenly felt immense pressure, realizing even his brother-in-law’s cooking skills surpassed his own.

The two brothers entered the house, with Yebai trailing behind and lifting his eldest son, who was arranging slippers for the adults, onto his shoulders.

Lingxin did not expect his father to do this. His little mouth gasped in surprise, and once he steadied himself, he saw his father turn around, looking at his frightened little face, saying, "I used to play like this with Mingli often. You haven’t tried it."

"Yes." Lingxin replied softly.

"Don’t like it?"

Like it or not? Lingxin didn’t know. Because it was usually his younger brother who acted spoiled, not him. He was used to watching from the side.

"Dad." Lingxin licked his small lips, "Have you heard from Mingli?"

"You could say yes, or no," Yebai said.

Lingxin’s little face was indeed a mix of delight and worry.

Patting his eldest son’s butt, Yebai said, "Your mom and I aren’t in a hurry, why are you? He’s your brother, isn’t he also your mom’s and my son?"

"Uh-huh—"

"Did your uncle criticize you?"

"Uh-huh."

"And you’re still saying ’uh-huh’?"

Lingxin blushed with embarrassment: "Yes, I know where I was wrong."

"It’s just a small matter, and you’re already in a panic. What will you do when your mom and I leave one day, leaving just you guys behind?"

"Mom and Dad leaving?" Lingxin was confused.

Weren’t Mom and Dad always going to be with them?

This little monkey... Does he study well or not? Why does he seem dumber than the silly second monkey? Yebai tapped the monkey’s butt again, urging, "Your mom and I are older than you brothers. If we don’t leave first, are we supposed to watch you leave first?"

Lingxin’s three-year-old little mind certainly hadn’t thought about issues like life, death, illness, and aging.

At that moment, Yebai suddenly understood that no matter what, his son was really a flower raised in a greenhouse, unlike him, who had lost his mother at birth and had tasted the flavors of life.

"When I have time, I’ll tell you about your grandmother," Yebai said.

Lingxin nodded his little head vigorously.

Carrying his son over to the dining table, his two brothers were already marveling at the eight dishes and one soup spread.

"Dr. Ou, we didn’t know you were such a great cook." Getting familiar after one or two times, Wei Changqing could now joke casually with Ou Yanan. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Ou Yanan, having just washed her hands, walked over, glanced at the table, and said, "They’re all home-cooked dishes, not difficult to make."

Not difficult to make? Xiao Yebai could only stare at the twice-cooked pork his brother-in-law made. Not only did it smell amazing, but the pork slices were so thin, even thinner than the ones his wife sliced.

Yebai was about to faint.

Seeing another man who could cook better, it was a major blow.

Zang Xiaolian told him, "Second Brother, Fourth Brother said that Third Brother’s cooking is also top-notch. We didn’t know before. Someday, we should have Third Brother cook for us."
