TGLC Chapter 9.1

After leaving the mall, Duan Zihui checked the time. It was half past ten, almost time for lunch.

Zhuzhu had already eaten some bread on the way here just now, and before she knew it, she hadn’t even drunk her milk.

She was now hugging her new toy, and her mouth was almost stretched to the sky.

Duan Zihui thought back to what the child had said at home and asked, “Zhuzhu, are you hungry now?”

Zhuzhu was very happy, so of course, she wasn’t hungry. 

She shook her head and said, “No.”

Her eyes lit up, and her smile was brilliant. 

She asked her father, “Is it time for lunch?”

Duan Zihui replied: “Yes.”

“Didn’t you say that without milk, you wouldn’t feel full for breakfast and would feel uncomfortable all day? Aren’t you feeling dizzy now?” 

Duan Zihui’s voice was somewhat meaningful.

The happy little baby, completely unaware that she’d fallen into her cunning father’s trap, replied honestly, “I’m not hungry anymore because I’ve already bought the milk.”

Duan Zihui asked with a smile, “Does looking at the milk make you feel full?”

What a clever kid.

Zhuzhu raised her head, blinked her eyes as if filled with spring water, and asked, “Dad, do you know what a sense of security is?”

What does this have to do with a sense of security?

Zhuzhu said seriously, “When I see my milk there, I feel secure, and I don’t feel hungry anymore.”

Duan Zihui: ???

That’s impressive.

Xie Qingyu, next to him, was feeling depressed.

Even though she’d just been joking, that way of speaking always seemed a bit petty.

She really didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Duan Zihui.

But her daughter’s witty response had left her feeling a bit awkward.

Feeling frustrated, Xie Qingyu looked up and saw Duan Zihui’s speechless expression. 

She couldn’t help but laugh, “You didn’t expect that, did you? Zhuzhu isn’t that easy to trick. Sometimes I can’t even win an argument with her. This cleverness is just like me.”

She really never misses any opportunity to brag.

Duan Zihui raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in disbelief, “Really?”

His expression held a hint of a half-smile, as if to say she was just boasting blindly.

Duan Zihui’s expression made Xie Qingyu want to beat him up.

But the current situation wasn’t suitable for a beating, and even if she really wanted to, Xie Qingyu wouldn’t be able to defeat him.

But she was still angry, so she left first.

After walking for a while, she found that they had not caught up. Just as Xie Qingyu was about to turn back, she heard Zhuzhu remind her.

“Mom, you’re walking too fast. Dad’s car is here.”

As she said this, she patted her father’s car with her little hands.

Xie Qingyu felt a little embarrassed and quickly turned back.

After getting in the car, Duan Zihui asked as they drove out of the parking lot, “Where are we going to eat later?”

Zhuzhu: “Dad, I want to eat boiled fish.”

When Xie Qingyu heard Zhuzhu talking about boiled fish again, she couldn’t help but ask, “We just ate it a few days ago. Don’t you get tired of eating fish all day?”

Zhuzhu was unpacking her airplane when she heard her mother’s words, nodding her head.

“Not really. Our teacher said fish is very nutritious.”

Duan Zihui, who was driving in the front, said leisurely, “Eat more to nourish your brain.”

Is he saying that she’s mentally deficient?

Xie Qingyu suddenly became angry and sneered, “That’s right. If I hadn’t eaten too little fish before, I wouldn’t have married you.”

Duan Zihui’s face suddenly turned cold.
