Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Little Linglong's hands reached up again, cupping Fu Zhengting's face. Seeing Uncle Fu made her so happy, and she smiled like a flower.

When Fu Zhengting saw the little girl's smiling face, he felt that fatherly love.

Daughters are so much cuter!

Most sons are either mischievous, aloof, quiet, or not very lively.

My daughter is much cuter and more sensible.

Without saying a word, just by turning his head slightly, Xiao Linglong gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

The little girl is adorable, and her little hands are adorable too—short, chubby, and when you hold her face in your hands, it feels like ants are crawling on your face, making you feel a little itchy.

In the past, he would have kissed Xiaolinglong back on the cheek, but now that Xiaolinglong is over four years old, he won't kiss her anymore.

In recent years, there have been more and more cases of girls being violated. He and Huo Qijun share the same educational philosophy: to educate and cultivate their daughter, Linglong, to maintain a distance from and be wary of men as early as possible.

Uncle Zhong also recorded this heartwarming scene, and when he saw Fu Zhengting looking over, he quickly clicked to save it.

Send it to Sweetie, she'll definitely love it.

He gave Fu Zhengting a slight smile to hide his guilty conscience, "President, the dishes are all prepared, you can eat now."

Then, looking at Kenneth Fok, she said, "I'm not a very good cook. I saw there were a lot of vegetables in the fridge, so I washed them to make hot pot to make it easier."

As Fu Zhengting carried Xiao Linglong over, he asked with a smile, "Xiao Linglong, are you hungry?"

When Huo Qijun arrived, it wasn't lunchtime yet. Xiao Linglong rubbed her tummy and said, "I've been hungry for ages."

Uncle Zhong patted Xiao Linglong's head and said, "Then eat more later. There are shrimp and chicken feet that you like."

Every time he took the president to the Huo family, the president would invite him to eat at the same table, as he knew Xiao Linglong's dietary preferences.

Little Linglong swallowed hard, cupped Fu Zhengting's face in her hands, and urged, "Uncle Fu, I want to eat chicken feet! Let's go eat hot pot!"

Fu Zhengting originally had no appetite because he was in a bad mood, but after exercising, he had burned a lot of energy, and with Xiao Linglong urging him, he started to want to eat.

"President, let's go. Anan has prepared a lot of ingredients, including your favorite beef tongue and brisket." Uncle Zhong was worried that Fu Zhengting would go hungry, so he led the way.

Fu Zhengting put Xiao Linglong down and followed along with Huo Qijun, holding her hand.

He went back to his room and changed into a clean set of casual clothes.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, you can smell the aroma of beef. On the table, you can see all kinds of ingredients that are essential for hot pot, and the hot pot broth in the middle is still steaming hot.

His appetite was completely whetted.

Uncle Zhong pulled out a chair for Fu Zhengting, and Huo Qijun and Xiao Linglong sat down opposite him. Watching this scene, Huo Qijun joked, "Brother Ting, Uncle Zhong is worried that you'll go hungry."

Fu Zhengting looked awkward, but he felt very warm inside.

Since his grandparents passed away, he would rather stay here with Uncle Zhong during holidays than go home to spend them with his father.

Uncle Zhong was a little embarrassed. He sat down next to Fu Zhengting, picked up his chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Let's eat."

It would be even better if Sweetie were here!

It's only truly heartwarming to have hot pot at home with the whole family gathered together.

He already considers Mu Tiantian to be the president's wife.

Fu Zhengting and his daughter Huo Qijun were both hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Little Linglong was trained to eat independently from the age of two. She would hold her own bowl and chopsticks, and Huo Qijun would put the cooked food in her bowl for her to eat by herself.

Uncle Zhong prepared clear broth and spicy broth. Xiao Linglong can also eat spicy food, but Huo Qijun was afraid that she would get a sore throat, so he didn't let her eat the spicy broth and only let her eat the clear broth.

After eating for about ten minutes, Uncle Zhong took the opportunity while wiping his mouth to pick up his phone and pretend to play with it. Then he opened Mu Tiantian's WeChat and sent her the two videos he had just recorded in the gym downstairs.

When we exchanged phone numbers, we also added each other on WeChat.

Sending the video was a bit slow, so he waited until the screen automatically locked, then put his phone aside and continued eating.

Fu Zhengting was a little full; it's easier to feel full when you're hungry.

He started peeling shrimp for Xiaolinglong.

I peeled one and handed it to Xiao Linglong to feed her.

Little Linglong opened her mouth and ate it, smiling happily.

Fu Zhengting continued peeling.

Uncle Zhong found this scene heartwarming and amusing. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and couldn't resist picking up his phone again.

Open Mu Tiantian's WeChat page, press and hold the camera button, and secretly record her while pretending to read a message.

Fu Zhengting suddenly glanced at him, his eyes sharp and insightful, startling him so much that he almost dropped his phone.

His heart was pounding with fear, but he still insisted on sending the recorded video.

Then I exited WeChat from the background, put my phone down, and quickly took a sip of beer to calm my nerves.

Fu Zhengting glanced at Uncle Zhong's phone with a complicated expression.

Uncle Zhong understands him, and he understands Uncle Zhong.

Since Uncle Zhong trusts Mu Tiantian, he will definitely contact her and will most likely inform her of his situation.

It's not that Uncle Zhong believed it so much; it's just that Mu Tiantian was too good at pretending.

"Uncle Fu, what's that? I want to eat that!"

Xiao Linglong's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Fu Zhengting looked in the direction Xiao Linglong was pointing and saw bullfrogs.

It looks like it's been over-exploded.

Looking at the bullfrogs reminded me of Mu Tiantian. When I called her, she said that bullfrogs were her favorite food.

"Uncle Fu, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking to me?" Little Linglong tilted her head and looked at Fu Zhengting, her eyes full of curiosity.

Uncle Zhong was sitting closer to the bullfrogs, so he picked one up for Fu Zhengting and put it in Xiao Linglong's bowl. "This is bullfrog. I deep-fried it. It's not fishy at all and tastes really good. You can cook it in a hot pot or eat it like this."

Little Linglong picked it up and looked at it. Seeing that it looked a bit like a frog, she was hesitant to eat it.

I pictured the frog being thrown into a frying pan and felt sorry for it, so I couldn't bear to eat it.

Huo Qijun saw through Xiao Linglong's thoughts, chuckled, picked up the bullfrog, tore off one leg, and fed the best piece of meat from the bullfrog leg to Xiao Linglong, explaining, "Xiao Linglong, this is a bullfrog, not a frog. It's raised by someone specifically for human consumption. You can eat it, don't worry."

Little Linglong was still hesitant to eat it.

Kenneth Fok ate it himself; the deep-fried version tasted even better.

Seeing that Huo Qijun seemed to enjoy the food, Xiao Linglong couldn't resist picking up a bullfrog leg and eating it herself.

Start by chewing slowly, and only eat freely if you find it delicious.

Huo Qijun took a tissue to wipe Xiao Linglong's mouth.

The little girl took after her mother; she has a soft heart and can't bear to see any cruelty. She feels sorry for injured kittens and puppies and wants him to take them home to raise them.

My family has taken in many stray cats and dogs.

This is something he is very proud of. Although the little girl is usually a bit naughty and clingy, she can also be very sensible when she needs to be.

Thinking of Xiaolinglong's mother, his eyes filled with pain and sorrow.

He harbored deep resentment, blaming his wife for being so heartless as to abandon him and their child.

However, while falling in love is easy, living together is difficult, and he was also afraid that if he brought his wife back, they would quarrel like before.

He used to envy Fu Zhengting, who was focused on his work and didn't have to worry about relationships.

Now, Fu Zhengting seems to be just like him.

He seemed distracted in the gym downstairs, and his unhappiness was clearly visible.

Love is a thing that can make you happy or give you a headache.

No matter how much two people love each other, there will always be some kind of conflict when they are together.

He planned to have a good talk with Fu Zhengting after they finished eating hotpot, and try to give him some advice.

I was afraid that eating and talking would spoil the atmosphere and make Fu Zhengting even more unhappy.
