"Uh..."
Chenchen said guiltily: "Uncle, I couldn’t make it this time. Next time, I’ll learn better and then make one for you."
"You said it, Chenchen. A gentleman’s promise is worth its weight in gold, no going back on your words." Lian Qingyang said seriously.
Chenchen: "Uncle, I’m not a gentleman, I’m a little lady."
Lian Qingyang: "..."
Outside.
Meng Siyu felt a surge of guilt in his heart. Chenchen and the others were actually picking a gift for his birthday. Chenchen had sent Zaozao and Ding Ling away because she wanted to make a dough figurine herself to give to him.
The unhappiness Meng Siyu felt before all turned into guilt at this moment.
He had said he felt something was off, as his girl, though she loved eating, never let it delay matters.
"Is this what you’ve been hiding from me?" Meng Siyu asked Yue Tangyue, confidently.
"It almost turned from a surprise to a fright." Tang Yue looked at him helplessly and said, "Come home early tomorrow night, let’s have a reunion dinner, okay?"
"Okay."
Meng Siyu responded, gripping her hand tightly, thinking he should apologize to his daughter later.
During dinner, Chenchen, punished by being made to face the wall, tried her best to please Meng Siyu and Tang Yue, afraid of making them angry.
"Chenchen."
Meng Siyu looked at Chenchen with heartache, thinking it was himself who was too impulsive in scolding Chenchen.
Knowing that Chenchen almost got into trouble because she wanted to make him a dough figurine herself, and she had even informed the shop owner beforehand who forgot to mention it, resulting in such an earth-shattering search.
Meng Siyu felt he had wrongly blamed Chenchen.
"Eat, were you scared today?" Meng Siyu served Chenchen her favorite dish, returning to his usual warm tone.
This made Chenchen even more uneasy; her dad was so angry today, so how could he suddenly become so gentle?
"Dad, I’m sorry."
"I really am sorry."
Chenchen put down her chopsticks, unable to eat in peace, constantly worried about being scolded again.
"I won’t go out to eat with Uncle Meng anymore."
"I don’t want the Peace Pendant Uncle Meng gave either."
"Dad, Mom, I didn’t know Uncle Meng had hurt Mom before. I was wrong."
"I won’t do it again."
Chenchen, with her big round eyes, obediently stood in front of Meng Siyu, quickly admitting her mistake. Her soft voice made Meng Siyu’s heart melt. He picked her up and gently wiped away her tears, saying: "Chenchen, Dad also made mistakes. Our grudges shouldn’t be blamed on you."
"Testing your brother and Ding Ling today gave all of us quite a scare. I know, you’ve been trained, you and Zaozao have some skills, but what if the bad guys have skills too, and are really strong?"
"If anything happens to you and Zaozao, Dad and Mom will be very worried, right?"
Meng Siyu spoke softly, making Chenchen realize even more that she was wrong, and she promised repeatedly that such things would not happen again.
...
Next day was Meng Siyu’s birthday.
Meng Jin and Mo Xiaolin also came back.
Tang Zhengde, Zhang Hualian, Tang Mingli, and their whole family, along with Lian Qingyang’s family, all came over, making a table full of people, it was extremely lively.
Zaozao and Chenchen also presented their gifts to Meng Siyu.
