“Mommy, you cannot let your son lose at the starting line, okay?” said Tong Lele painstakingly.
As he walked to the cafeteria, he brought out the freshly cooked dishes. “Mommy, I was waiting for you to eat together, I’m starving.”
“My dear, you have not eaten your dinner? Didn’t I tell you that mommy had an important matter to settle outside, so you could eat without me?” Tong Jiumo walked over in a rush and furrowed your eyebrows. “Aren’t you scared of starving mommy’s darling!”
“Hmph!” Tong Lele huffed and retorted, “Bad mommy, you left your son to go on a date! You were even caught by me! Are you worried that you will lose me? Hence, you didn’t dare let me know?”
As Tong Jiumo scooped up the soup, she looked at Tong Lele and said, “I am considering whether to send you to the entertainment industry for a change. Who knows, maybe you will become a popular child actor!”
Tong Lele glared at her and said while drinking the soup Tong Jiumo scooped up for him, “Aiya, are you not worried that after such a cute child appears on television, I will be fancied by others and stolen away from you due to their schemes?”
“You are so smart and can act well. It will be the entertainment industry’s loss if I don’t send you there.” Tong Jiumo picked up the food and said thoughtfully, “Mommy is going to work, not date.”
“Is it really for work? Such a handsome boss sent you home, are you sure there isn’t anything going on?” Tong Lele raised his brow towards Tong Jiumo.
“Eat properly,” ordered Tong Jiumo.
“Yes, mommy.”
Tong Lele ate his food seriously but still eyed Tong Jiumo from time to time.
Ever considerate, Tong Lele could feel that his mother was different.
It was as if something was troubling her.
When Tong Jiumo had entered the house, he could feel it. Hence, Tong Lele kept teasing his mother to deviate her attention from that matter.
But it did not seem to be of much help.
However, if Tong Jiumo did not wish to talk about it, it would not be nice of him to ask as well.
“Lele, mommy is full.” Tong Jiumo drank the soup, and her appetite was lost.
“Mommy, you ate so little, are you trying to lose weight?” Tong Lele saw that Tong Jiumo had hardly eaten, and she had not eaten much from the side dishes.
“What a mischievous child.” Tong Jiumo laughed.
After Tong Jiumo went back to her room, she stood at the window side, looking ahead at the huge building outside the window.
‘Tong Xinyuan, Gong Shaochen.’
These two names, in addition to the past events that had happened, came to her mind.
…
When Mo Qijue returned to the castle, he saw Mo Lisi sitting at the dining table. He ate hungrily with no care for dining manners.
Mo Qijue furrowed his brows and walked towards him.
Once Butler Feng saw that his Young Master was back, he bowed respectfully. “Young Master, you are home.”
“What’s up with him?” Mo Qijue’s voice sounded bland.
“I do not know what happened to Little Master. After I brought back the food Young Master ordered me to, he smelled the fragrance from the food and immediately told me to let him eat. I have never seen our Little Master eat so happily before,” replied Butler Feng.
This was the first time he had seen Mo Lisi eat so happily.
“Daddy, didn’t you say you wanted to hire me a personal chef? I have decided on this one, I like her cooking!”
When Butler Feng had carried in the food box, he only needed to smell it once to know that it was Tong Jiumo’s cooking!”
“There are so many chefs in our house, is it not enough for you?” Mo Qijue furrowed his brows.
He was the one who had hired this chef, but now his son wanted to steal her away from him?
“Daddy, I want this young miss to be my chef,” said Mo Lisi firmly.
Mo Qijue washed his hands and came out. Butler Feng pushed out a chair for Mo Qijue. He just sat down and heard Mo Lisi’s words. His gaze turned cold. “How did you know the chef is a woman?”
