Chapter 17 is indeed imaginative kids

  "Hey? Baby! When are you coming back? I saw a delicious dish today, I'll make it for you to eat!" Before she could even respond, a magnetic voice came from the other end, the warmth and gentleness inside made their hearts overflow with crisis! Is this a rival in love? Do they have to wait for her to come home? Are they together?! And he's calling her "baby" with such intimacy?! The raging flames of jealousy were about to burn away their rationality!

  Upon hearing his voice, Akane's eyes sparkled with warmth, making the other girls even more jealous of the man on the other end of the phone! It turned out she wasn't dating Hiyori after all, but had someone else and was even living together! And to top it off, she seemed to still be in love with him! (I really admire their imagination)

  "I'm not going back yet," said Akane, apologetically. He had been looking forward to returning home, where someone was waiting for him, and it was always a happy thing, but he had let them down, and he felt guilty about it. But the happiness and guilt in her eyes pierced the eyes of the others! They felt like they had drunk a whole bunch of bitter melon and a big bucket of vinegar! The bitterness and sourness in their hearts she would never understand!

  "What? Baby! Where are you going?" asked Takuaki worriedly. Shouldn't we be heading home now?

  "Don't worry, I'm just going to a classmate's house," Akane Takaoka reassured him faintly. It was natural for her father to be worried when his daughter went out. Atabe furrowed his brow, is that all? He seemed dissatisfied with such a thin relationship!

  "Hmph! Why shouldn't I be worried?! Are you going to abandon me and go find someone else?! I was really looking forward to having dinner with my dear, really looking forward to it! This is the highlight of his day! But after waiting for so long, his own daughter abandoned him and went off with someone else! Could it be a boy?! Looking at his wife busily cooking in the kitchen, he's even more jealous! They've been busy for so long, who knows which scoundrel has run off with their daughter?!"

  The right ones listened to the strong vinegar and resentment, and a flash of pain flashed in their hearts! But they still can't stop the sourness in their hearts! At least the man on the other end of the phone got her, what else is he not satisfied with?! (Hey, hey! You guys don't think wildly, okay?!)

  "Black line! When did he learn this? In her eyes, he was always a very steady man, but now he's acting spoiled in front of her?! But in his heart, he felt even more guilty. As parents, the most they hoped for was to have a meal with their children, but he had let them down. "Don't think too much, I'm just helping my classmate with homework, tomorrow night I'll definitely stay and keep you company for dinner, I'll cook myself." No matter how busy they were, all they wanted was to have a meal together with her. What needed to be made up for still had to be made up for."

  The right ones are heart-wrenching! Cook in person?! Still want to accompany him?! Does she care about that man so much by flattering him like this?!

  Xu Mu heard this and felt a warmth in his heart. His own daughter was indeed considerate! Unlike that stinky little brat, Ruo Yu! With her words, no matter how hard they worked, it was all worth it! Moreover, he couldn't bear to let his own daughter cook for herself. She just needed to enjoy the love and care. Sigh... come to think of it, today, for some reason, that little brat Ruo Yu stayed behind to have dinner with them tonight, and he didn't know whether or not to tell Bao Bei about it.

  "Alright, I'll let you off the hook for today! But tomorrow night, you're already booked by me! You can't go find someone else anymore!" Although he was still jealous, he couldn't restrict her from making friends, this is the first step to overcoming his social anxiety!

  His smile brought up a joyful arc, and he looked really awkwardly cute! He was also afraid that she would shut herself down like the previous host, right? "I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine now, so don't worry"

  Akagi's words were like a reassurance to him, and Akagi Tsubasa's heart truly settled down. Looking at his wife in the kitchen, perhaps their daughter would really be happy this time? His eyes felt a little sour, and he suddenly realized that his eyes had become moist, so he quickly blinked and composed himself, not wanting Akagi to notice.

  "Baby! Of course I believe in you! And I know you're very strong, but sometimes you have to rely on me a bit! Otherwise this shoulder of mine would be useless!"

  "Haha, how could it be useless? I've always thought your shoulders are broad enough for many people to lean on!" She had indeed felt that way all along.

  "Really? I'm so reliable in my baby's eyes! I should be able to eat a few more bowls of rice tonight, haha!" Xing Mu Du is extremely delighted! There's nothing more delightful than having his daughter acknowledge her dad's abilities!

  "You should eat more bowls of rice! Don't drink too much wine, it's bad for your health." A host like him has to entertain guests, and drinking is a must when entertaining, but at home, he doesn't want him to drink that much.

  "Don't worry, baby! I'll do everything you say!" promised Jianmu Duan solemnly. His daughter's concern made him feel as sweet as honey! "Baby, I'm so happy! Your concern is the most precious gift in this world! Waaahhhh..."

  "Stop crying, it's all just a show," said Hei Mu Yan with a deliberate drawl, teasing her.
