#44 - Chapter 44 Why do I have to sleep here?

An hour later, Lin Chen had prepared the meal.

"Lin Chen, is there some good thing happening today? There's one more dish than last time," Shen Qing said in surprise.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I bought this apartment. It's rare to have some liveliness, so today is a small celebration."

"Ah?"

"Lin Chen, you should have said so earlier."

"Look at me coming empty-handed, I didn't buy any gifts," Shen Qing said embarrassedly.

Lin Chen shook his head, "Gifts are not necessary, just have a casual meal. Everyone, please sit. I think my cooking skills should have improved a bit."

Shen Qing said in surprise, "Your cooking skills can still improve?"

Soon Xu Mengyao and Shen Qing started eating.

"This—"

"Mengyao, it seems like there really has been improvement."

Shen Qing tried two dishes and said in disbelief.

Xu Mengyao: "It's not just 'seems like', it's true. Lin Chen, your cooking skills have alreadycrushed a five-star executive chef. You use relatively ordinary ingredients, but the taste is not bad at all."

"It's so delicious."

"Every dish is very delicious."

Shen Qing praised without reservation.

Lin Xiaoxi sweetly said, "Mommy, the meat Daddy makes is delicious, and the green vegetables are also very delicious."

"I'm not picky anymore, I'm a good baby."

Shen Qing said, "Qian Qian, with your dad's cooking skills, if you're still picky, you'll get a spanking."

"Mengyao, I suspect Qian Qian isn't not picky, she'd probably be even pickier if she ate somewhere else."

A look of concern appeared in Xu Mengyao's eyes.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Qian Qian is still young, let's ensure nutrition first. When she grows up, she won't starve herself, will she?"

"Yeah."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

After finishing the meal, Shen Qing rubbed her belly: "Lin Chen, the food you make is so delicious, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. If I eat it every day, I'll definitely get fat."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You only eat a lot when you eat it occasionally. If you ate it every day, why would you need to eat like this?"

Shen Qing was stunned.

"That's true."

"You family of three go out, I'll do the dishes. If I don't do some work, I'll be embarrassed to freeload anymore," Shen Qing said.

Lin Chen: "You do the dishes, that's not good, is it?"

Shen Qing shook her head: "It's nothing bad. I'm also doing it so I can come over for more meals. Mengyao is busy, it's rare for your family to have time to get together."

"Leave it to Shen Qing."

"She ate too much, she should do some work to digest it," Xu Mengyao said.

"You guys go out quickly, don't affect my performance," Shen Qing waved her hand.

Lin Chen and the others went downstairs.

Lin Xiaoxi held Xu Mengyao's left hand and Lin Chen's right hand.

Xu Mengyao felt a strange feeling in her heart.

This feeling of a family of three taking a walk is quite warm.

"Lin Chen, I have something to discuss with you. After the basketball game, can you take Qian Qian abroad?"

Xu Mengyao asked.

Lin Chen said, "Qian Qian's(茜茜: Qian Qian) maternal grandparents miss her?"

Xu Mengyao nodded: "They miss Qian Qian very much. But I have a lot of things to do domestically recently and don't have time to go abroad."

Lin Chen squatted down: "Qian Qian, go play on the slide over there, Daddy and Mommy want to talk about something."

"Okay!"

Lin Xiaoxi skipped towards the front.

"Mengyao, I don't have any problems with it. But is now a good time for me to see your parents?"

Lin Chen asked.

Xu Mengyao said unhappily, "You're not going to see my parents, you're taking Qian Qian to see her maternal grandparents."

"You don't even need to show up when you get there."

"My dad will send a car to pick you and Qian Qian up. You stay at a nearby hotel, and someone will take Qian Qian to the hospital."

Lin Chen said, "It's not good if I don't show up, is it?"

Xu Mengyao: "If you don't think it's good, just buy some fruit or something and visit once."

"Qian Qian will probably only be at the hospital in the morning. She needs to take a nap at noon, and in the afternoon you can take Qian Qian to wander around there."

"Is that okay?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly: "I have no problem with it. But I don't have a passport, I have to get a visa to go to the US, right?"

Xu Mengyao said, "That's simple. You apply, and I'll find someone to expedite it for you, and it'll be out soon."

"Okay."

Lin Chen nodded.

He's not interested in other things in the US, but he wants to go to the shooting range to play. His marksmanship is already pretty good now.

He has taken Lin Xiaoxi to the amusement park five times, and every time he goes, he takes Lin Xiaoxi to play shooting games.

Each time they play for twenty minutes.

Added up, they've played for almost two hours.

Ten hours of shooting can reach the grandmaster level, two hours is pretty good. Many soldiers don't have as good marksmanship as him.

"Lin Chen, thank you."

Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao seriously and said, "Mengyao, actually, I should be thanking you. Thank you for giving birth toXiaoxi, letting me have such a lovely daughter."

"Thank you for raising her so hard all by yourself."

Xu Mengyao's heart trembled slightly.

"Xiaoxi is over there by herself, let's go over."

Xu Mengyao walked quickly to the front.

Unknowingly, an hour passed, Lin Chen and the others went home, Lin Xiaoxi cheerfully said, "Daddy Mommy, I'm so happy today, so happy."

"Xiaoxi, it's good that you're happy."

Xu Mengyao smiled.

"Shen Qing!"

When they got to the room, Xu Mengyao called out.

No one answered, and the lights in the room were not on.

"Beep beep!"

Xu Mengyao dialed Shen Qing's number.

The phone connected and Shen Qing's voice came over: "Mengyao, I have an emergency and had to leave. I took your car, okay?"

"Isn't Lin Chen going to your company tomorrow? You guys go together, and I'll send your car to the villa for you."

Xu Mengyao: "..."

"Traitor!"

Shen Qing: "Mengyao, I really have something to do. I suddenly remembered that the gas stove at home doesn't seem to be turned off."

"I'm driving, I'm hanging up."

After speaking, Shen Qing quickly hung up the phone.

Lin Chen said, "Mengyao, you sleep with Qian Qian tonight. I'll sleep in the guest bedroom."

Lin Xiaoxi asked in confusion, "Daddy, why? That bed is so big, big, big, it can fit the three of us."

Lin Chen squatted down.

He kissed Lin Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, you're still young, there are some things you don't understand yet. Do you want Mommy to stay? If you want to, sleep like this."

Lin Xiaoxi nodded.

"I want to sleep with Mommy."

Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao: "Mengyao, what do you think? If you want to go back, I'll drive you back."

Xu Mengyao shook her head: "Forget it, too much trouble."

She can't accept living with Lin Chen yet, but she can barely accept staying here for one night.

Lin Chen: "There are women's pajamas in the closet, new ones. Last time I bought pajamas for myself and Qian Qian, and she said she wanted to buy some for Mommy too, so I bought two sets."

Lin Xiaoxi said in a childish voice, "Mommy, you have to thank me, and then I'll say you're welcome."

Xu Mengyao: "..."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Xiaoxi, Mommy is too touched. She's so touched that she can't even speak for a moment."

"Mengyao, go take a bath, I'll giveXiaoxi a bath."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

There are two bathrooms in the house so they can shower at the same time.

"Splash!"

The water poured onto her body and Xu Mengyao looked a little dazed.

How did she end up sleeping here?
