As soon as she entered the shop, Ye Jiani looked around first and was a little disappointed not to see Yang Yang, but didn’t show it.
The two waiters were new to the job today and were not aware of Hailing and Zhou Honglin’s relationship. One smiled and went up to the couple, asking them what they wanted to eat.
Zhou Honglin took Ye Jiani and found an empty table and sat down.
“Jia Ni, wife, what do you want to eat.”
Before leaving home, Ye Jiani asked Zhou Honglin to call her wife affectionately in front of Hai Ling.
Even if Hailing didn’t have any semblance of affection for Zhou Honglin anymore, Ye Jiani still couldn’t help but think of Hailing as her love rival.
Perhaps it was a snatch, always uneasy, always worried that it would be snatched back again by someone else.
“I’ll eat whatever you eat.”
Zhou Honglin then said to the waiter, “One cage of steamed dumplings, one cage of golden cakes, two portions of intestinal noodles with meat and egg, one portion of pork ribs in drum sauce as well as one portion of siu mai.”
The waiter wrote it down, asked the couple to wait for a moment, and then went to get their food. m.
Except for the intestinal noodles, which Hai Ling needed to make, all the others could be taken directly from the steamer, those were pre-steamed and placed in the steamer.
“Why don’t I see Yang Yang?”
Ye Jiani said in a seemingly casual manner.
Zhou Honglin didn’t know either, as it was logical that Yang Yang should be in the shop.
Had he been picked up by Hai Tong?
“I’ll go ask Hai Ling.”
After Ye Jiani said that she allowed the Zhou family to visit Yang Yang often and could even bring Yang Yang back to live with them for a while, Zhou Honglin dared to mention his son in front of his wife.
He got up and walked towards Hailing, who was busy in the kitchen, and asked Hailing at the window that was connected to the outside of the kitchen, “Hailing, where is my son?”
Hai Ling just gave him a look and went on with her business.
It was only after a while, when Zhou Honglin was waiting impatiently, that she said indifferently, “Yang Yang is asleep.”
“Asleep? Where are you sleeping?”
Hai Ling did not say anything.
Zhou Honglin said to himself again, “Hai Ling, you see your shop is doing good business, you are very busy, Yang Yang is left here, and it is not safe, in case he runs out and you don’t notice, and he is carried away by the abductor, you don’t even have a place to cry.”
“My son is white and tender, so cute, abductors love to abduct such children. I’ll take Yang Yang over and let my parents look after him for a while.”
Hai Ling glanced at Ye Jiani who was over there eating her breakfast by herself.
Zhou Honglin understood what she meant and said in a lowered voice, “Jia Ni has agreed to this.
Hai Ling wanted to refuse, but considering the terms of the divorce and the fact that Zhou Honglin was Yang Yang’s real father, she said, “If Yang Yang is willing to stay with you for a while, you can take him there, but if he doesn’t want to, don’t force him.”
The decision was given to her son.
Yang Yang was willing to go out with his father, but he certainly didn’t want to live somewhere where he couldn’t see his mother.
“Why not? It’s his home too, I’m his real dad and my parents are his real grandparents. My parents are used to taking care of their children, now that they don’t have to, they are too idle and they are always talking about taking Yang Yang over to take care of them.”
“Don’t worry, the custody of Yang Yang belongs to you, I won’t fight you for it, I’m just helping you share it and for Yang Yang’s safety.”
After Zhou Honglin finished, he then asked, “Where did you put Yang Yang to sleep? I’ll take him back after breakfast, you want to start a business, open a shop and make money, I can’t manage that, but my son is up and about following you at a young age, it hurts me as a father to watch.”
