"No, you're sick now and can't eat anything too greasy. Only light food is allowed. Forget about seafood." Ye Wan immediately rejected her daughter's idea of eating seafood.
Ye Tuan Tuan was on the verge of tears. She looked at her father with a wronged expression, feeling she had sacrificed too much to get her mother to reunite with them.
Gu Yun Ting couldn't bear to see his daughter's aggrieved little eyes. He immediately said, "Eating a little shouldn't be a problem. Tuan Tuan's fever has already broken."
"Mom, can I just have a little bit? Please?" Tuan Tuan looked at her mother with a wronged plea.
Ye Wan frowned as she looked at her. Ye Tuan Tuan felt guilty from her mother's glare, and Gu Yun Ting's heart pounded, fearing Ye Wan would discover the truth.
"Only a little. No more than that." Ye Wan's heart softened. She couldn't bear for her daughter, who was ill, to be denied even the food she craved.
Gu Yun Ting immediately put on gloves and peeled two shrimp for his daughter. He didn't dare to peel more, afraid Ye Wan would be angry.
In the end, Ye Tuan Tuan ate two shrimp, some crab meat, and a bit of lobster meat... For everything else, she could only eat vegetables.
Gu Yun Ting served Ye Wan dishes, but she refused them all. Seeing this, Sun Ma came to help Ye Wan serve food. Ye Wan said helplessly, "Sun Ma, please sit down and eat with us. You've been busy all day."
"I'm not tired. I'm very happy to be able to take care of your family of three. I'm not tired at all," Sun Ma said with a full smile.
Ye Wan was speechless.
Gu Yun Ting, however, was pleased with Sun Ma's mention of a family of three. He felt like he hadn't given Sun Ma a raise in a long time. Now that she was older and had so much to do, it was time to increase her salary.
"Sun Ma, please eat with us. You watched me grow up. It's not an exaggeration to call you an elder. We are family," Gu Yun Ting gestured for Sun Ma to sit down and eat.
Sun Ma was flattered but accepted it calmly. She had long considered the Gu residence her home. She smiled and sat down, saying, "Alright, I'll listen to Young Master and Xiao Wan."
"Grandma Sun, please eat more." Ye Tuan Tuan, being sensible, immediately served Sun Ma some food.
Ye Wan and Gu Yun Ting also served Sun Ma. As they both reached to serve her, their chopsticks bumped. Ye Wan quickly retracted hers and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yun Ting slowly withdrew his chopsticks and put a piece of meat into his mouth. Mmm, an ordinary piece of meat now tasted exceptionally delicious, leaving him with a lingering aftertaste.
After dinner, Ye Wan accompanied Ye Tuan Tuan back to her room. Ling Ming called, and Ye Wan went to the bathroom to take the call first.
Gu Yun Ting also entered the room. Ye Tuan Tuan immediately said, "My Ming Dad is calling Mom."
"Mm." Gu Yun Ting's heart sank. He gestured for her to lie down and sleep.
"Dad, do you think Mom will really marry Ling Dad?" Ye Tuan Tuan still hoped her parents would be together so she could have a complete family.
But looking at her mother, it seemed difficult.
"No, I won't let her marry anyone else," Gu Yun Ting said firmly. No matter what it took, he wouldn't let her marry someone else.
"Dad, you have to keep trying. I want Mom, Dad, and me to always be together." Ye Tuan Tuan wasn't foolish. Although Ming Dad was good to her, and her father was also very good to her, it was still different compared to her biological father.
She didn't understand blood relations. She only knew that she liked her father from the moment she first saw him, liked him very, very much, for no reason.
