Chapter 359: Busy

"Playing basketball? Alright, since that's the case, I'll cook for you tonight myself. Let you taste Mommy's cooking. I wonder if you'll be satisfied," Shirona said.

"Wow~~ That's great! Mommy, let's go get the bowls and chopsticks quickly," Haruka said excitedly.

"Alright~" Shirona nodded and went into the house to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Immediately, the mother and daughter were busy cooking in the kitchen.

"Ash, come taste Mommy's new '010' style braised pork~~~"

"Haruka, hurry and taste the sweet and sour pork ribs your brother-in-law made."

……

Time passed second by second, and soon, dinner was ready.

"Ash, come, sit down and eat," Shirona called out.

"Mm, thank you, Auntie," Ash said.

"Hehe, you're welcome," Shirona said gently.

"Come, Ash, Haruka, try it and see how it tastes," Shirona said expectantly.

"Mm." Ash picked up a rib and put it in his mouth.

"Mm! It tastes great. You're amazing, Mommy!" Ash praised.

"Heehee, I think it's delicious too," Haruka said happily.

"Come, taste Ash's fish."

"Mm~~~ So delicious! Brother Ash, did you catch this fish?"

"Mm, I caught this from the reservoir," Ash said.

"Mm, this fish is really beautiful."

"Haha, that goes without saying!" Ash said happily.

Subsequently, the three continued to eat.

"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

"Haruka, go open the door!" Shirona said.

"Alright, Mommy, Brother Ash," Haruka said sweetly, then ran to the door.

"Who is it?" Haruka opened the door.

"Haruka, it's me. I came to find you to play. Have you eaten yet?" Standing outside the door was Xia Luo, and at this moment, Xia Luo had changed into a suit, clearly having dressed up carefully.

"So it's you. Do you have something to find me for?" Haruka asked.

"I... I..." Xia Luo said, stuttering a bit.

"My mom and dad asked me to invite you to eat together," Xia Luo said.

"Is that so? We've already eaten. We're leaving first. Brother Xiao Ming, let's go!" Haruka said.

"Alright!" Xiao Ming nodded and followed Haruka away.

"Phew, finally got this girl settled. That was exhausting!" Xia Luo panted a few times.

"Can't do it anymore, Laozi needs to rest. I'll come back tomorrow." Xia Luo swayed toward the sofa.

"Bang~~~"

"Ouch! Who stepped on me!" Xia Luo said angrily.

"Hmph~~!" Only Xiao Qing's cold voice could be heard.

"Uh~~ Xiao Qing? Why is it you?" Xia Luo said, feeling depressed.

"I saw you acting sneaky, you definitely weren't up to anything good," Xiao Qing said, looking at Xia Luo with disdain.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What bad thing could I be doing?" Xia Luo retorted.

"Tch~~~" Xiao Qing curled her lips and said.

"Alright, alright, let's go to sleep, I'm exhausted!" Xia Luo said.

"I don't want to, I still have homework to do," Xiao Qing said, refusing.

"Alright then, suit yourself, but remember to make me breakfast tomorrow morning!" Xia Luo said.

"Hmph, got it!" Xiao Qing said, pouting.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep first, see you tomorrow." Xia Luo said.

"Got it, stinky daddy, goodnight," Xiao Qing said.

"Goodnight." After saying that, Xia Luo lay on the bed, preparing to sleep. ===== CHAPTER 779 =====

"Huh, why is my quilt so cold!" Xia Luo suddenly felt his body a bit chilly, so he opened his eyes to look, only to see Haruka's face close to his, and at this moment, Haruka was hugging his thigh.

"What the heck, this little girl actually!" Xia Luo said in surprise.

"Heehee, Haruka is just sneaking in." Haruka said playfully.

"Cough cough, Haruka, let go quickly! Otherwise, if your mommy finds out later, you'll be in trouble," Xia Luo said seriously.

"Not afraid, Mommy already promised Haruka," Haruka said, sticking out her tongue mischievously.

"What the heck, no way," Xia Luo said tragically.

"Hehe, stinky daddy, don't move around, be careful or I'll bite you!" Haruka said, threatening him.

"Alright, be good, let go quickly, your mommy will be back soon," Xia Luo urged.

"Mm~~~ I don't believe it!" Haruka said disdainfully.

Immediately, Haruka let go of the hand gripping Xia Luo's pant leg, jumped off the floor, and walked toward the stairs, saying as she walked: "Haruka is going to take a bath first!"

"Mm, go ahead." Xia Luo waved his hand weakly, indicating he didn't care.

"Alright, Xiao Ming, you go take a bath, I'm going to cook," Shirona said.

"Got it, Mom (Sister)." Xiao Ming replied.

"Alright, Xiao Ming," Shirona said with a smile.

"Mm~~"

Subsequently, Xiao Ming went to the bathroom to take a bath.

"Sigh~~ Haruka, this little troublemaker, made me lose face to the point of no return, really." Xia Luo sighed and said.

"Hey, we haven't seen each other for so long, why haven't you said a word?" After Haruka came down from upstairs, she said to Xia Luo with dissatisfaction.

"Uh... I was just thinking about chatting with you," Xia Luo said awkwardly.

"Tch~~" Haruka rolled her eyes.

"Alright, alright, come eat quickly," Shirona said, calling Haruka.

"Mm~~~"

"Brother Xiao Ming, come eat quickly." After finishing the meal, Haruka pulled Xiao Ming's hand to the living room and said to Xiao Ming.

"Alrighty!" Xiao Ming replied.

"Are you full? If you're full, go upstairs and do your homework. Xiao Ming, Haruka, remember to come back down to play games after you finish your homework," Xia Luo instructed.

"Alright, got it, troublesome daddy, you're so long-winded," Haruka said with disgust.

"Hehe." Xia Luo laughed awkwardly. ===== CHAPTER 780 =====

"Alright then, I'll go up and do my homework first. Haruka, let's go," Xiao Ming said.

"Mm~~" Subsequently, Xia Luo saw Haruka and Xiao Ming walking upstairs hand in hand.

"Phew~~~ Good thing they went up, otherwise I would have been really embarrassed," Xia Luo said, patting his chest.

"Alright, son, hurry up and pack your things, it's time for us to go back," Xia Luo's mother, Shirona, reminded him.

"Oh~~" Xia Luo stood up slowly and picked up the schoolbag on the table.

Xia Luo and his mother Shirona got into the car and went home.

Along the way, Xia Luo cursed inwardly: "Damn it, why didn't I notice before that Haruka and Xiao Ming were such troublemakers."

After Xia Luo returned home, he found the house dark; it seemed the two siblings had both gone upstairs to sleep.

Xia Luo tidied up his clothes and climbed into bed.

"Click~~" The door was opened, and Shirona walked in. ===== CHAPTER 781 =====
