Chapter 1228: Major Crash Scene

Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Major Crash Scene

The little guy even wanted to urge everyone to eat faster so the cake could be brought out sooner.

But since he was taught from a young age, he knew this was impolite behavior.

So he held back with difficulty.

He finally waited until dinner was almost over.

Aunt Lin cleared away all the plates.

Ye Fei then took the cake out from the fridge.

As the cake passed by the little guy, he immediately tilted his head up to sniff it, his little nose twitching as he tried to inhale as much of the cake’s sweet scent as possible.

Zhao Gushen playfully tapped his nose and said, "Look at you, all excited. Xiao Fei always gives you enough."

"But Xiao Fei says eating too much is bad for health, it can make you gain weight and cause cavities. She only lets me have a small piece up to once a week." The little guy indicated the size of the piece with his hands, which was about the size of a typical slice of cake one buys at a pastry shop.

"That’s already a lot," Grandmother said, "even adults don’t get to eat that much cake every week."

"Exactly," Ye Fei said as she placed the cake in the middle of the table, "if you ask me, even letting you have one piece a week is too much."

If it weren’t for the little guy looking at her so pitifully and adorably that Ye Fei couldn’t resist, she wouldn’t have agreed to give him that much.

The little guy stared at the cake, swallowing hard.

Ye Fei sliced the cake and distributed it to everyone.

The last piece was given to the little guy.

Though they didn’t cut a smaller piece for him just because he was little.

The little guy looked around and saw that everyone’s slice was about the same size, which made him quite satisfied.

The little guy swallowed again and, using a fork, carefully and reverently scooped up a small piece of cream as if it were a grand unboxing ceremony of something very important.

Since Ye Fei made it herself, she added more cream than what’s sold outside.

With a big "ah-woo," the little guy took a huge bite.

The fragrant and sweet cream melted smoothly in his mouth, rich with a creamy flavor.

Even though it contained maltitol, Ye Fei didn’t add much of it.

After all, while maltitol is used as a sugar substitute, consuming too much isn’t good either.

So having it in moderation is fine.

Moreover, a light and sweet taste is better than being overly sweet.

So the cream only had a mild sweetness, which didn’t overpower the creamy taste itself.

Combined with the additional fruits, a strong sweetness wouldn’t suit.

With the first bite, the little guy only tasted the cream, and with the second bite, he forked a piece of strawberry, dug it into more cream, and ate them together.

The cream smothered the slightly tart yet sweet strawberry, making it feel like drinking strawberry-flavored milk or eating strawberry-flavored ice cream.

Then, the little guy ate the cream, cake, and the mango and peach mixed in with the cream in one bite.

Grandpa watched the little guy’s eating process the whole time and laughed, "No wonder he’s been influenced by Ye Fei from a young age. Our little Mo must be aiming to be a gourmet, huh? Eating with such layers."

Grandfather smiled and said, "Even if he doesn’t follow in Ye Fei’s footsteps to learn cooking, in our family, when managing the company in the future, one must understand food culture."

"Exactly!" The little guy took the opportunity to nod repeatedly, "That’s why I need to eat more good food. It’s not just because I like it, it’s for my future career!"

Yet no one believed him.

Everyone just pretended not to hear and continued praising how good the cake was.

The little guy: "..."

Hasn’t he just gotten back recently?

Why does it feel like he’s about to lose favor?

The little guy looked at Li Xiaoyun’s belly again.

When his little uncle is born in the future, will he be completely out of favor?

A big kid really has no competition against a little bundle of joy!

Everything is cutest when it’s a tiny little baby.

He managed to stand out in the Zhao Family, even making Grandmother forget about Grandma, just because he was cute enough!

But something even cuter is about to arrive soon.

The little guy felt a strong sense of crisis.

At the same time, he understood the feelings Grandma had when she first saw him.

Thinking of this, the little guy looked at Chi Jingsi with a world-weary expression on his face.

Chi Jingsi: "..."

At that moment, Chi Jingsi strangely felt a sense of complete understanding with the little guy.

He instantly understood what the little guy meant with that look.

So the two, one big and one small, simultaneously focused their gaze on Li Xiaoyun’s belly.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

What on earth is Chi Jingsi and the little guy’s gaze supposed to mean?

For some reason, Li Xiaoyun felt a little itch in her nose.

At this time, the little guy and Chi Jingsi turned to look at Grandmother.

Grandmother was just about to take a big bite of cake, but before she could, the pressure from their gaze was overwhelming.

Grandmother thought to herself, is it really so hard for her to enjoy some cake?

Because she’s old, every day she’s taking supplements to replenish various nutrients her body lacks.

She also has to be mindful not to eat too much sweet or greasy food.

Because she’s mindful of these things, both Grandfather and she can maintain good health at their age.

But Grandmother occasionally wants to indulge.

Eating some cake or something, she’s really tempted.

Finally having a chance today, Grandmother wasn’t going to eat much, just a few bites.

But now being watched by Chi Jingsi and the little guy like this, her carefree mood for enjoying cake vanished.

"Mom."

"Great-Grandma."

The two called simultaneously.

Grandmother: "..."

"What’s the matter?" Grandmother quickly asked.

Chi Jingsi spoke first, "When Xiaoyun has her baby, will you like the little one best?"

The little guy nodded and said, "Great-Grandma, then, will you like little uncle best or like me best?"

Chi Jingsi immediately wasn’t happy, "What? Mom, did you tell little Mo he was your favorite?"

Everyone: "..."

A major blunder on the scene.

Grandmother has been this way for years, but now it’s coming apart!

Grandmother exclaimed "Oh dear" and instantly lost any taste for cake.

She put the fork and cake back on the small plate and said, "When your little uncle is born, your third granduncle will like him, so it won’t be hehehehe!"

The little guy blinked and asked, "So even if there’s a new, fair, and tender little uncle, you’ll still like me best?"

"Mm-hmm!" Grandmother nodded decisively without thinking.

After all, his little uncle isn’t born yet, so she’ll just agree for now.

When the time comes, of course, she’ll like the fair and tender little bundle the most.

Grandmother looked at the little guy, and while he’s cute, he’s still not as cute as a little bundle.

Unexpectedly, Chi Jingsi suddenly became anxious: "Mom, didn’t you say I was your favorite?"
