Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As evening approached and the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Chao was in the kitchen, cooking while listening to music. Even the Shoufu was behaving well, quietly watching Zhou Chao nearby.
“Ding dong!”
Upon hearing the doorbell, Zhou Chao knew who it was.
Quickly transferring the cooked dishes onto plates, he walked towards the door, wiping his hands on his apron.
“Click!”
Opening the door, he saw two figures, one large and one small, appear before him.
It was Ling Chen and his son, Ling Yang.
“Good evening, Boss. Xiao Yang, greet Uncle Zhou!”
“Hello, Uncle Zhou!” Ling Yang obediently greeted.
The childish voice made Zhou Chao couldn’t help but pinch Ling Yang’s little cheeks.
“Xiao Yang is becoming cuter and cuter. Come on in, dinner is almost ready!”
“Uncle Zhou, can you stop pinching Yang’s cheeks in the future?” Ling Yang looked up, speaking earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao chuckled and crouched down with interest, looking at Ling Yang. “Why is that?”
“I want to be as handsome as Uncle Zhou when I grow up. If my face is constantly being pinched, it’ll become round!”
Ling Yang’s earnest words prompted laughter from both Zhou Chao and Ling Chen as they exchanged a glance.
“Okay, Uncle Zhou won’t pinch your cheeks anymore.”
Zhou Chao smiled, stood up, ruffled Ling Yang’s head, exchanged a glance with Ling Chen, and then walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as Zhou Chao stepped into the kitchen, Ling Yang glanced up at Ling Chen and whispered, “Dad, will Uncle Zhou rubbing my head affect my height?”
“No, it won’t. Uncle Zhou made a lot of delicious food today. You should eat more to grow taller.”
“Yeah! I’m going to eat two… no, three bowls of rice later! I want to grow taller quickly and help Dad with household chores!”
Ling Yang clenched his small fist, cheering himself up.
Hearing this, Ling Chen was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered, rubbed Ling Yang’s little head, and showed a hint of guilt in his eyes.
“Then Dad will wait for you to grow up quickly!”
“Yeah!” Ling Yang nodded vigorously.
Immediately, Ling Chen held Ling Yang’s hand and led him to the dining room, where Ling Yang obediently sat on a chair. Ling Chen then walked into the kitchen.
As Zhou Chao was ladling soup from the stew pot with a large spoon, he heard footsteps behind him and knew it was Ling Chen walking in.
“How did you come in? Don’t you want to spend more time with your son outside?” Zhou Chao turned around to look at Ling Chen. freeweɓnøvel.com
“Boss, I couldn’t leave you alone in the kitchen. I was afraid you’d hold it against me later!”
Ling Chen joked as he rolled up his sleeves and brought out the dishes from the thermal container.
“You’re making me sound like a petty person!”
“Boss, those weren’t my words, they were yours!” Ling Chen teased.
Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile, quickly changing the subject, “Didn’t I tell you before to find a wife? Why haven’t I seen any progress?”
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen paused for a moment, his gaze passing through the kitchen and landing on Ling Yang, who was sitting obediently at the dining table.

“I’ve thought about it, but I’m afraid Xiao Yang will suffer. Let’s take it step by step. When the time is right, fate will come naturally,” Ling Chen replied, looking somewhat melancholy.
Watching Ling Chen’s troubled expression, Zhou Chao pondered for a moment before saying, “You don’t need to worry too much about the company. Delegate some tasks to your subordinates and give yourself some time to spend with your children.
Currently, the company is on the right track, and we have several more executives now. Let them handle some tasks and give them the opportunity to grow. You don’t have to personally oversee everything. Remember to rest more when needed. If you keep this up, I’m afraid some people in the company might accuse me of exploiting you!”
“Got it, Boss!” Ling Chen smiled and nodded. He knew that the boss wasn’t trying to diminish his authority but genuinely cared for him.
Soon, the table was filled with various delicacies. Ling Yang’s stomach had long been rumbling, and smelling the aroma of the dishes on the table, he couldn’t wait to dig in.
“Can we start now? Here, I’ll give you the chopsticks. Let’s eat,” Zhou Chao said, coming out of the kitchen with chopsticks in hand.
“No, Uncle Zhou, I’m not hungry!” Ling Yang quickly shook his head, though his eyes remained fixed on the delicious food on the table, and he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
Seeing both Zhou Chao and Ling Chen burst into laughter, he said, “Let’s start eating!” Zhou Chao handed the chopsticks to Ling Yang.
Perhaps Ling Yang was used to being independent and didn’t need others to serve him food, even if it was a little far away.
Tonight, Zhou Chao used top-quality ingredients for his dishes, combined with his superb cooking skills, each dish was exquisite in appearance, aroma, and taste.
After about half an hour of eating, their bellies were round and full, especially Ling Yang, who couldn’t eat anymore but still couldn’t take his eyes off the table.
Seeing Ling Yang’s satisfied expression, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smirk, “Xiao Yang, do you think Uncle Zhou’s cooking is delicious?”
“It’s delicious!”
As soon as Ling Yang finished speaking, he seemed to remember something. His expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he pouted, “But it’s a pity that 1 can’t eat Uncle Zhou’s cooking often!”
Who would have thought that Ling Yang’s little thoughts would be noticed by Zhou Chao and Ling Chen? They exchanged a glance before smiling and saying, “If you want to eat Uncle Zhou’s cooking, it’s simple. Just study hard, get good grades, and I’ll personally cook for you..”
