Chapter 8: He's Investigating You

Xi Xi took out the Legos and building blocks from the corner, shared them with Yao Yao, and nodded: "Mommy said dad is dead and gone, although Xi Xi thinks Mommy is lying, but that's what Mommy said!"

Yao Yao felt something stir inside.

If dad could be with Xuan Shui Ayi, that would be great.

He could become Xuan Shui Ayi's child.

They were thinking, when Xi Xi spoke again: "Mommy must have been bullied by Xi Xi's dad, so she doesn't like dad. When Xi Xi grows up, she'll definitely find Mommy a husband who is tall and handsome."

Tall and handsome… dad fits that perfectly.

Yao Yao felt secretly pleased, then heard Xi Xi say: "But we must not get a Bad Uncle like dad's Bad Uncle. If Mommy ends up with a Bad Uncle, she'll definitely be bullied by the Bad Uncle."

Yao Yao: "…"

He blushed, whispering in defense of his own dad: "Dad isn't that bad…"

Dad is actually very good to him, just not like Xuan Shui Ayi is to Xi Xi.

Xi Xi glared at him, fuming: "Brother Yao Yao, don't say nice things about him. When I find a new dad, I'll have my dad beat him up!"

Yao Yao's lips twitched, recalling that Xuan Shui Ayi also dislikes dad. He thought for a moment, then asked softly: "So Xi Xi, besides tall and handsome, what kind of dad are you looking for?"

He could make dad strive to become the kind that Xi Xi and Xuan Shui Ayi like.

Xi Xi, hearing that, propped her chin and thought.

A few minutes later.

Yao Yao spread out the paper on which he had finished recording the Ideal Dad Criteria, sighing wistfully.

In this life, is dad out of luck with Xuan Shu Ayi as well?

"Xi Xi, Yao Yao is eating now."

Hearing Lu Xiwán's voice, Yao Yao hurriedly tucked the paper into his small pocket, and Xi Xi led him to wash his hands and eat.

On the table were four dishes and a soup, a very sumptuous and tasty spread.

These years, most of Yao Yao's meals were arranged by the Steward and Gu Qingmeng; Gu Qingmeng, to make him appear cuter and more likable, strictly controlled his diet and weight, and Yao Yao had never eaten such delicious food before.

Xi Xi watched Yao Yao bite several ribs in a row, then mischievously scooped him a spoonful of greens, calling it: "Brother, you should eat more vegetables."

Yao Yao's cheeks flushed as he bit the ribs, feeling a bit shy.

Lu Xiwán glanced at Yao Yao and quickly warned Xi Xi not to cause trouble: "Alright, Xi Xi, eat nicely, no messing around; Brother Yao Yao will eat properly."

Xi Xi shook her head and swayed, dismissively: "Mommy, you don't know, Brother Yao Yao's mom is too terrible; Yao Yao has never had this much delicious food at home. If he eats too much in a rush, his stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Lu Xiwán hadn't expected the usually playful Xi Xi to think so much; the contrast made Gu Qingmeng and Fu Sijue look even less humane.

Thinking of the things Gu Qingmeng did and the scenes when Yao Yao was hypnotized, perhaps she should learn about Yao Yao's old kidnapping case.

Just as she was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.
