Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 324 - 302: Aren’t You Afraid of Retribution for Doing This?

"Pengpeng~"

As they neared the house, Lin Weilin stopped and called out to his bouncing son beside him.

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing the call, Lin Yipeng turned to look at his dad, his single-lidded eyes full of curiosity: "Dad, why are you calling me?"

Lin Weilin crouched down, put both hands on Lin Yipeng’s small shoulders, and said with a smile, "Son, when we get home, can you tell Mom that you want Dad to come to kindergarten with you tomorrow?"

Lin Yipeng looked even more puzzled: "Dad, why do you want me to say that?"

Why else?

Of course, because Dad wants to eat the food at your kindergarten!

"Kids shouldn’t ask too many questions." Lin Weilin smiled at Lin Yipeng, "You just need to listen to Dad and do as I say. If you do well, Dad will buy you your favorite Ultraman cards as a reward."

These words made Lin Yipeng’s little eyes immediately light up like stars, but then they dimmed again as he worriedly said, "Dad, do you have money?"

Lin Weilin: "..."

Hey, kid, who do you think you’re looking down on?

"I do! Dad has money!"

"But Dad, didn’t you run out of money? Mom took all your money." Lin Yipeng asked in confusion, "Where are you getting money to buy me Ultraman cards, Dad?"

Lin Weilin: "..."

Ah, these kids are hard to trick!

"Dad has some secret stash, don’t worry, it’s enough for the cards."

Lin Yipeng’s curiosity was piqued, and he asked, "Dad, what’s a secret stash?"

Lin Weilin patted his little head and explained with a smile: "A secret stash is a little treasure that Dad secretly saves up just to surprise you, for buying you toys and snacks."

"But Pengpeng, you must keep Dad’s secret stash a secret and not tell Mom, otherwise Mom might take it, and then Dad won’t be able to buy you toys and goodies."

Ah...

No way...

Lin Yipeng was initially stunned, but then he recalled his mom’s "tiger mom" persona and nodded, feeling a warm current in his heart, thinking Dad was really good.

For his own future benefit, he decided to side with Dad and earnestly promised: "Okay, Dad, I definitely won’t tell Mom!"

But little did he know...

His trust was misplaced.

Dad’s secret stash was actually for his own game accessories...

"Good boy!"

Lin Weilin praised with satisfaction, holding his small hand as they pushed the door open together.

As soon as they entered the house...

Lin Yipeng couldn’t wait and shouted into the room, "Mom, I’m back!"

Qu Qing heard and came out from the kitchen with a smile, taking the tiny backpack and little water bottle that only held pants from Lin Yipeng, and asked with concern: "Sweetie, did you have fun at kindergarten today?"

"Of course, I had fun!" Lin Yipeng looked at Qu Qing, eager: "Mom, do you know? At dismissal, Miss Yang said tomorrow is ’Parent Experience Day’ and one parent can come to kindergarten. I... I want Dad to come to kindergarten with me tomorrow."

Qu Qing’s pupils instantly had a seismic shift.

She never expected that her son, whom she had raised through thick and thin, would choose Dad to attend ’Parent Experience Day’ at kindergarten rather than her, who had put in so much effort.

This leather jacket isn’t warm at all, it’s drafty.

That’s not right!

Given her position in the family, this kid definitely wouldn’t act rashly...

There’s only one possibility...

There must be something fishy going on!

Someone must be pulling the strings behind him!

"Pengpeng, are you sure about that?" Qu Qing’s face was all smiles, but her gaze swept over the father and son like daggers.

Truth be told, that killer gaze couldn’t be hidden!

And now.

The father-son pair instantly felt a chill and simultaneously shrank their necks.

Lin Yipeng was even more scared, not daring to look directly at Qu Qing, his heart racing, nervously turning his head to look at Dad for help, as if saying: Dad, Mom’s so scary, what should I do?

Lin Weilin: "..."

Son, Dad is like a clay Buddha crossing a river, hardly able to help himself, you’d better hope for your own well-being...

Wait!

If he backs down like this, then the ’Parent Experience Day’ spot really would be hopeless...

Hmm!

He’s supposed to be the head of the household...

He’s got to show some dignity as the head of the household!

Therefore...

He attempted jumping around the edges of testing: "Honey, since our son suggested it himself, why don’t you let me go tomorrow..."

But before he could finish!

Qu Qing interrupted him: "Hubby, what did you just say? Say it again."

As she spoke, she turned and glared at Lin Weilin.

Lin Yipeng secretly turned his head again, watching the showdown between Mom and Dad.

He silently prayed: Dad, you’ve got to hold your ground!

"I said..."

Lin Weilin felt Qu Qing’s compelling gaze. For family harmony, he had to sacrifice himself and come up with another solution, helplessly changing his tune: "Honey, I said, why don’t you go to kindergarten tomorrow? After all, you’re the child’s mom, you going would be more meaningful..."

Lin Weiyi looked at Dad with surprise.

You’re backing down just like that?

Sure enough.

Dad is afraid of Mom!

He lied before saying he wasn’t afraid of Mom!

Was this to prevent him from laughing at him?

Qu Qing heard her husband’s answer and smiled with satisfaction, tossing in some faux humility: "Alright, since my husband insists I go, I’ll reluctantly go tomorrow then."

"Yes, yes, I’m insisting you go." Lin Weilin laughed outwardly but felt bitter inside!

"That sounds about right." Qu Qing nodded with satisfaction, turning to the kitchen to prepare dinner: "Wait a bit, dinner will be ready soon."

Seeing Mom leave, Lin Yipeng immediately sidled up to Lin Weilin, innocently asking, "Dad, when are you going to buy me Ultraman cards?"

Oh dear!

You couldn’t even get done what was asked of you, yet you dare to ask for a reward?

Lin Weilin was feeling depressed!

Hearing that his son was still fixated on Ultraman cards, his mood growing even gloomier.

He flatly refused, "No way, you didn’t finish what I asked you to do, why should I buy Ultraman cards for you!"

Lin Yipeng’s little mouth immediately drooped, looking at Lin Weilin with aggrieved eyes: "Daddy, how can you be like this! Obviously, it’s you who didn’t want to go, how can you blame it on me!"

Lin Weilin: "..."

Such blunt honesty...

For your words alone, I definitely won’t buy them!

"No means no! Even if you speak until the sky cracks, I’m not buying!"

Lin Yipeng glared angrily, "Daddy, you’re a liar! You’re a big meanie... I don’t want to play with you... I hate you..."

With that, he turned around and ran towards the kitchen; his little feet making a "thump thump thump" sound on the floor.

Well, now the boat of father-son friendship capsized easily...

Lin Weilin watched his son’s distant back indifferently, but in the next second, Lin Yipeng’s voice came from the kitchen: "Mama, let me tell you something! Daddy is hiding secret money!"

Oh my gosh~

Wasn’t it supposed to be a secret?

How can you turn around and betray me?

Where is the basic trust between people?

You rebellious child!

Aren’t you afraid of divine retribution for doing this?

At that moment, Lin Weilin really regretted mentioning it to his son and felt that the rebellious child really wasn’t spanked enough, to be so reckless in ’selling him out’...

If I don’t spank you, do you really think I’m weak?

His arm started to ache faintly...

The Seven Wolves!

Where are his Seven Wolves!

Before he could act...

Here came Qu Qing, brandishing the vegetable knife usually used for chopping, storming out from the kitchen.

As soon as she saw Lin Weilin, her eyes glared fiercely, and she started shouting at him: "Oh, you Lin Weilin, daring to hide secret money, you’ve got a lot of nerve! Tell me, where have you hidden the money?"

Oh my gosh~

This posture...

Does it mean she’s ready to replace him as a husband?

Lin Weilin saw Qu Qing’s aggressive manner and panicked inside, quickly trying to explain: "Honey, let me explain, I..."

But Qu Qing wouldn’t listen to his explanation, grabbing his ear and dragging him into the room: "Explain what? If you don’t hand over the secret money today, don’t think you’ll have a good time!"

Lin Weilin felt bitter inside...

He never imagined that after trying to steal, he’d end up losing out...

"Bang~

The bedroom door was kicked shut by Qu Qing.

Lin Yipeng lay at the door, listening to the sounds coming from inside the bedroom, flashing a smug smile on his face.

Hmph~

Dad deserves it!

Who told you to trick kids!

Now you see the consequences of tricking kids, don’t you?

Let’s see if you dare to trick kids again...

...

When Wan Zhenhong dragged his tired body back home, it was already completely dark.

"I’m back!"

He opened the door with the key, walked into the hallway, changed his shoes, and carried his briefcase inside.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Jinyan got up from the living room and pointed at the clock on the wall: "Honey, why did you come home so late today? Look, it’s almost seven o’clock."

Wan Zhenhong glanced at the clock and realized it was indeed much later than usual, he explained with a smile: "The office had some urgent matters, and it got delayed for a while."

It’s always work!

Why don’t you just live with your work?

Although Liu Jinyan was somewhat upset, looking at her husband’s exhausted yet helpless smile, most of her complaints disappeared, as she softly said: "Alright, stop standing, go wash your hands and eat."

"Hmm!"

Wan Zhenhong responded, put down his briefcase, and walked into the bathroom.

After washing his hands, he sat at the dining table, grabbed a napkin to dry his hands, and asked in the direction of the kitchen: "Where’s Niuniu? Why haven’t I seen her?"

Usually, the house was filled with Niuniu’s laughter, but today it was exceptionally quiet, with the living room TV softly playing a program, adding to the tranquility.

Liu Jinyan brought the last dish from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table: "Niuniu and I already ate; she just went next door to play with her best friend. Just focus on eating and leave her be."

Wan Zhenhong nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

While eating!

Suddenly remembering today’s date, he asked: "Honey, is tomorrow the ’Parent Experience Day’ at Dorami Kindergarten?"

"Yes!" Liu Jinyan replied with a smile.

Wan Zhenhong nodded, thought for a moment, and tried to negotiate: "Honey, how about letting me attend the ’Parent Experience Day’ tomorrow?"

Liu Jinyan furrowed her brows a little, refusing immediately: "Honey, we agreed last time that I’m going tomorrow; that’s set in stone."

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

Round one, defeated.

Wan Zhenhong lightly tapped his fingers on the table, making a final effort to persuade Liu Jinyan: "Honey, just let me go to the ’Parent Experience Day’ tomorrow, and I promise I’ll do the dishes for the whole month."

Wow!

Did the sun rise from the west?

Deputy Chief Wan proactively offering to wash dishes for a month?

This is rare; it’s really rare!

Liu Jinyan looked slightly surprised, holding a cloth, peering from the kitchen: "Honey, a gentleman’s word cannot be broken. You really don’t intend to back out, do you? Such behavior isn’t befitting of a gentleman."

"..."

Wan Zhenhong was speechless!

Round two ended in a miserable defeat!

With the uprising declared a failure, he was no longer interested in speaking, bowed his head silently, and resumed the "eating mode," but the food didn’t taste good at all...
