Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

However, Yao Qiang still stopped him and asked, "Do you know what the situation is between Ai Qing and that girl now?"

"What...what's going on?"

“That’s progress,” Yao Qiang said. “He’s bringing the girl home now, doesn’t that mean he’s already getting to that point?”

"What do you mean? Don't make wild guesses." Ai Zhongguo shook his head repeatedly. "They've only known each other for a few months, what could possibly be going on?"

"I wanted to marry you after knowing you for only a month."

"Hey, hey, hey." Ai Zhongguo waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't talk nonsense. When I first met you, you were only 16. I didn't do anything illegal."

Yao Qiang rolled her eyes at him: "I mean, a few months is long enough. What if your son actually means that? Shouldn't we make a statement then?"

"What's the rush? This is only the first time you've come to my door. We're just getting to know each other briefly," Ai Zhongguo said. "Who can predict matters of the heart? Let's not make any demands and just let things take their course."

"Okay." Yao Qiang picked out her clothes, waved herself in front of the mirror a couple of times, and then started changing.

After changing, she patted Ai Zhongguo on the shoulder and said, "Let's go downstairs and wait for the others."

"Wait a minute." Ai Zhongguo called out to her, then walked to the mirror himself, hesitated for a moment, tugged at his collar, and asked, "Do you think I should change my clothes too? To look more presentable."

Yao Qiang leaned against the door, smiling at him, and said with her arms crossed, "I don't know who it was, but when I was getting ready over there, it was buzzing around. And now?"

"You talk too much. Come over here and let me choose one."

……

After buying some fruit, Ai Qing and Xiao Yu headed towards Ai Yingchao City.

At this time, Ai Qing's grandmother, Lang Xiangying, was still cooking in the kitchen, while his grandfather, Ai Lisong, was in charge of the supermarket.

Xiaoyu is quite familiar with everyone in Aiqing's family, and knows that her grandfather likes to lie on a recliner in the supermarket and watch Douyin (TikTok).

She followed Ai Qing all the way to the supermarket entrance, then stopped abruptly, her face showing a nervous and hesitant expression.

"Brother, can you check if my clothes and everything are okay?" Xiaoyu looked down at her clothes and shoes, and even turned around to look behind her, examining her attire.

"It's beautiful, don't worry."

Today, Xiaoyu specially wore a new outfit that Ai Qing had just bought for her.

The outfit consists of a long-sleeved light yellow T-shirt on top and a beige long skirt on the bottom, creating a casual, cute, and gentle style.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she covered her cat ears with a hat.

Once inside, she needs to take off her hat, and then Xiaoyu will retract her cat ears. This way, she can probably keep them in place for three or four hours.

There should be more than enough room for dinner.

As for the cat's tail, if it's hidden inside the skirt, there's no need to waste warm air trying to conceal it.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Xiaoyu was still a little worried, and cautiously circled around Aiqing twice. "Take another look."

"It's okay, you're too nervous." Ai Qing took Xiao Yu's hand and led her to the supermarket entrance. After glancing at the passersby on the street and confirming that there were no people around, she lowered her head and kissed her.

I don't know if this method actually works.

After being kissed so passionately by Ai Qing for a while, Xiao Yu was immediately immersed in this sweet state.

Suddenly I felt less nervous.

It also added a little warmth.

If she could keep sticking out her tongue, the warmth Ai Qing was providing to Xiaoyu was already equivalent to her normal energy expenditure.

In other words, if the little fish uses warm currents to hide its cat ears or something, then as long as the two keep kissing, the little fish can maintain its human form indefinitely.

However, this method has too high a requirement, so it's just talk.

"Are you not nervous now?" Ai Qing released Xiao Yu's soft lips, looked down and said with a smile, "If you're still nervous, I'll keep kissing you."

"No, I'm not nervous anymore..." Xiaoyu subconsciously shook her head, then looked up at Ai Qing's lips and couldn't help but add, "But, I can be nervous a little more."

"What are you talking about?" Ai Qing tapped her head impatiently. "You kiss me every day, don't you get tired of it?"

"Is my brother already tired of this?"

"What do you think?" Ai Qing said, then lowered her head and covered Xiao Yu's mouth again.

The two lingered at the door for a while before finally separating again.

Fortunately, there weren't many people on the street at that moment. After tidying up their clothes a bit, the two of them carried the fruit and headed into the supermarket.

"Grandpa! I'm back."

Hearing the sound, Ai Lisong, who was lying inside the supermarket checkout counter, immediately turned down the volume on his phone and looked up at the supermarket entrance.

Then he heard the clear, melodious voice of a lovely little girl.

Hello, Grandpa!

The image of the small fish came into Ailisong's view.

"Wow! You're back." Ai Lisong sat up straight and looked at the two of them. "Hello, hello. You're quite pretty, young lady. What's your name?"

"My name is Ai Chiyu, Grandpa, you can just call me Xiaoyu," Xiaoyu replied sweetly.

"Okay, okay, Little Fish, right?" Ai Lisong nodded, then looked at Ai Qing suspiciously, "Why does she have the same name as your cat?"

"Just a coincidence," Ai Qing replied casually. "Where's Grandma?"

"I'm cooking. You guys go inside. I'll ask Lao Li to come over and help watch the shop in a bit, then I'll come find you."

"okay."

Ai Qing responded and then led Xiao Yu into the house.

At that moment, Ai Zhongguo, who was in the living room, also heard the noise from the supermarket and immediately sat up from the sofa.

After glancing at Lang Xiangying and Yao Qiang, who were busy in the kitchen, Ai Zhongguo felt he couldn't be so impatient, so he sat back down.

But sitting there like that isn't very good either, it makes it seem like you've been waiting on purpose.

So he took out his phone again and pretended to be looking at something on it.

But in reality, he would just open one app, glance at it twice, close it, and then open another one, repeating this process while his eyes were constantly glancing towards the door.

at last.

Ai Qing and Xiao Yu, carrying fruit, walked in from the supermarket.

Looking at the figures that seemed to be a young couple, Ai Zhongguo couldn't take his eyes off them, and for a moment he was even a little dazed.

Chapter 172 In the end, this day still came.

"Hello, Uncle!"

The little fish greeted Ai Zhongguo energetically.

In the end, Ai Zhongguo couldn't hold back and stood up from the sofa to greet the two of them.

To be honest, he had absolutely no experience in this area.

Whether you're a son-in-law or a father-in-law.

After all, Yao Qiang's parents died when she was young. She was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme by her cousin, but Ai Zhongguo called the police and rescued her.

Aside from the time Ai Zhongguo secretly took him back to pay respects to his parents and moved their graves to Hangzhou, he has never returned.

Therefore, Ai Zhongguo really had absolutely no experience in this area.

Seeing Xiaoyu follow Ai Qing into the house, and noticing that she was carrying fruit, she immediately said, "Oh dear, why bring fruit when you come to visit? You're being so polite with us."

As he spoke, he took the fruit from Xiaoyu's hand and placed it on the coffee table. Then he said, "Come, come, sit here. They're still cooking, it'll be ready soon."

After saying that, Ai Zhongguo sat back on the sofa, rubbing his hands together, suddenly at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Ai Qing whispered something in Xiao Yu's ear and then patted her slender waist.

Xiaoyu nodded quickly, and as soon as she sat down on the sofa, she immediately stood up and whispered, "I'll go help out in the kitchen."

Before Ai Zhongguo could speak, Xiaoyu had already run towards the kitchen.

Only the father and son were left staring at each other in the living room.

"Who makes a young girl do chores as soon as she arrives at someone's house?" Ai Zhongguo muttered to himself. "You really don't treat her like an outsider. You're already ordering her around before you're even married."

“We’re not outsiders to begin with,” Ai Qing said, pursing her lips. “I’ve already brought him home, isn’t the meaning clear enough?”

"You talk like you've ever been in a relationship before," Ai Zhongguo chuckled. "This is only the first one, and you're already set on it?"

"So, Mom wasn't your first?" Ai Qing asked with a half-smile.

Ai Zhongguo: "...You little brat, you're so talkative. You think I won't dare to beat you up just because you're all grown up?"

"I was just saying we're evenly matched." Ai Qing took a banana out of the plastic bag.

When Ae Jong-kook was in college, he never dated, let alone when he was younger.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure Yao Qiang, who was 16 years old, until she was in her early twenties and she took the initiative to pursue him before he finally won her over.

It can only be said that Ai Zhongguo's romantic talent has been perfectly passed on to his son.

"What's the girl's family situation?" Ai Zhongguo asked in a low voice.

"Orphaned and without parents, with no one to rely on."

"Speak like a normal person, are you acting in a TV drama here?"

“The truth is, he’s an orphan,” Ai Qing sighed. “Now he lives with me.”

Ai Zhongguo: "...?"

Wait, what's wrong with you, kid?

You didn't choose someone based on your mother's standards, did you?

So it really is a direct descendant?

To be honest, in an ordinary family, hearing that their child's partner is an orphan would cause some concerns.

However, at Ai Qing's home, there were no such concerns.

This is also why Ai Qing directly said that Xiao Yu was an orphan.
