Chapter 994: Always Be By My Side

Zhou Yao sat across from her while Zhou Sileng sat beside Bai Qi. Bai Qi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and placed it into Zhou Sileng’s bowl, “Sileng, my culinary skills are not that good. You can eat more of whatever dishes you like. You can also tell me what dishes you like to eat. I will try my best to improve my culinary skills.”

Bai Qi’s culinary skills were indeed not that good, but the three dishes and one soup were not that bad. It was just that the dishes didn’t look too pretty. Bai Qi was very afraid that her son would despise her.

In the past, she did not know how to cook and did not plan to cook, but now she had changed her mind. She felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction to be able to prepare a table of dishes for her son.

Zhou Sileng was full of happiness. He ate the piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and said with a shaky mouth, “Bai Qi, your dishes are so delicious. I really like them. They’re even better than Auntie Ni’s...”

Zhou Sileng glanced at the man across from him and said, “Daddy, you must think that Bai Qi’s dishes are not good, right? In that case, don’t force yourself in the future. Don’t come over again!”

Zhou Sileng had his own selfish motives. He was on a date with Bai Qi, so why did his daddy interfere? His daddy couldn’t read the atmosphere!

Zhou Yao picked up a piece of lettuce with his chopsticks. He took a bite elegantly and looked at the little one across from him. “You’re the one who thinks it’s not delicious, right? I didn’t say that.”

“Daddy, you... wronged me!” Zhou Sileng immediately looked at Bai Qi with a grievance look.

Bai Qi couldn’t bear to see her son being wronged. She kicked Zhou Yao under the table as a warning.

She wanted to retract her foot, but it was too late. The man locked her foot without saying a word. When she was about to retract her foot, his two big feet moved and directly caught her small foot in the middle.

Bai Qi was shocked, and her small face immediately turned red.

Why was he so...

“Hey, Bai Qi, why is your face red? Is it too hot?” Zhou Sileng immediately noticed the abnormality and looked up at Bai Qi with his small head.

Bai Qi avoided his gaze. She picked up some food and placed it in Zhou Sileng’s bowl. Then, she answered perfunctorily, “Yes, it’s hot. Sileng, eat quickly. The food is getting cold.”

“Okay.”Zhou Sileng continued to eat.

Bai Qi glared at Zhou Yao who was sitting across from her. Zhou Yao ate elegantly without looking up at her. He acted as if nothing had happened.

Bai Qi was speechless.

...

The dinner ended in a rather harmonious atmosphere. All three dishes and soup on the table had been finished, and there was not even a grain of rice left in the rice cooker. This was quite a show of support from the father and son.

Bai Qi went to the kitchen to wash the dishes while Zhou Yao and Zhou Sileng sat on the sofa.

Zhou Yao continued to read the newspaper. Zhou Sileng had something on his mind, so he kept peeping at his father’s expression. He wanted to stay here and sleep with Bai Qi, but he had to seek his father’s permission first. Moreover, he especially hoped that his father could leave as soon as possible. He wanted to have this beautiful space all to himself and Bai Qi.

“Daddy, hehe, look, it’s so dark outside. Even the moon has come out...”

“Mmm.” Zhou Yao’s gaze was still fixed on the newspaper. He moved his thin lips. “Mmm, do you want to go back?”

Zhou Sileng was quiet for a second.

Daddy, why are you so cunning? Will you die if you aren’t? Will you?

“Daddy, I want to stay here tonight.” Zhou Sileng mustered up his courage and said.

After saying that, he carefully looked at daddy’s expression, but there was no change in his expression. “Okay.”

The moment he heard that, Zhou Sileng immediately jumped with joy. Daddy was really easygoing tonight. He wanted to get up and run to the kitchen to tell Bai Qi the good news, but at this time, the man beside him faintly added, “I’ll stay here too.”

What???

The smile on Zhou Sileng’s face froze. “Daddy, why are you staying here? Are you worried that I won’t be able to go to school tomorrow? Don’t worry, Bai Qi will take me there. You should hurry up and leave.”

Zhou Yao crossed his legs, and his broad and thick body leaned into the sofa. He replied, “Remember that you’ll always be by my side.”

Zhou Sileng didn’t know how to respond to that.

At this moment, Bai Qi came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes. “Sileng, you can stay here and sleep.” Then she looked at the man who was reading the newspaper, “General Zhou, I won’t keep you. You can go back. I will send Sileng to school tomorrow morning.”

Zhou Yao slowly put down the newspaper. He looked up at the woman in front of him and then at his son. “Sileng, what do you think?”

Zhou Sileng was well aware of his father’s threatening gaze. His father seemed to be saying — “What do you want, son? Do you want me to take you away, or do you want me to stay with you?”

Zhou Sileng ran over to hug Bai Qi’s thigh with a sad and tender little face. He said angrily, “Bai Qi, if I stay here tonight, will it be ok for my daddy to stay here as well? If... I’m here alone... I’ll be afraid.”

Bai Qi was very surprised. Little Sileng had been very independent since he was young. Zhou Yao rarely went home and stayed at the military base most of the time. He slept alone in his own room and had never said that he was scared.

“Sileng, why are you scared? I’m here.”

“That... that’s different. I want... I want daddy to stay with me.”

As soon as he said this, Bai Qi’s heart softened. Yes, in a child’s heart, both daddy and mommy were indispensable.

Of course, Bai Qi didn’t know that Zhou Sileng didn’t think that way at all. He was just being threatened.

Bai Qi patted Zhou Sileng’s little head and glared at Zhou Yao at the same time. She held Zhou Sileng’s hand and entered the room. “Sileng, let’s go. Let’s wash our faces and get ready for bed. Let’s sleep together tonight. I’ll read you a story, okay?”

Zhou Sileng’s gloominess was swept away. “Yes, yes, yes! Long live Bai Qi!”

...

Once the mother and son left, Zhou Yao immediately threw away the newspaper in his hand. He had no idea what was written in the newspaper. A smile appeared on the man’s handsome face. This smile was like a child who stole a piece of candy. He was very satisfied and proud.

Zhou Yao stood up and glanced into the kitchen. He did not expect that the woman’s culinary skills to have improved so much over the past four years. She was already able to feed the two of them.

In the future, when he went home from work and his son came back from school, they would be able to eat the dishes that she personally cooked every day.

In fact, he did not ask for much. It was just the scene before his eyes.

He spread his long legs and walked to the only room in the house. The door was not closed. He had one hand in his pocket and leaned against the door frame to look inside. Bai Qi and Zhou Sileng had already gone to bed. Zhou Sileng rested comfortably on Bai Qi’s slender arm. Bai Qi told him a story in a gentle voice.

Zhou Sileng soon closed his eyes. Bai Qi confirmed that he was asleep and put down the fairy tale book. She pulled back her slender arms.

She had just washed Little Sileng’s face, but she had not done so herself yet. She wanted to go wash up and sleep.

But just as she pulled back her slender arms, two strong arms suddenly stretched out and carried her out of bed.
