The two brothers cooked 5 dishes: Cucumber and White Fungus, peanuts, stewed beans, Tomato Scrambled Eggs, and a previously bought roast chicken.

Second Brother Yu made the two cold dishes, and Ming Lang cooked the hot dishes. Xiao Qian felt that Ming Lang was a man who looked rough but had a delicate heart. She had mentioned before that she liked Tomato Scrambled Eggs, and he remembered it.

It tasted pretty good.

“Cooking will be your task from now on,” Xiao Qian joked with Ming Lang.

“Sure, as long as you do the dishes,” Ming Lang didn’t mind.

“Actually, when two people are together, there’s no need for too much consideration. Getting along is enough, don’t you think, Second Brother?” Xiao Qian suddenly turned the topic to Second Brother Yu, who had been silently eating all along.

Hearing Xiao Qian’s question, Second Brother Yu replied with a grunt.

Dong Yi paused in feeding the child.

Perceptive Xiao Qian, as if she didn’t notice the awkwardness between Second Brother and Dong Yi, continued talking.

“Second Brother, you’ve been divorced for a while now. Have you considered finding another mother for Panpan?”

“I’m full,” Second Brother Yu put down his bowl.

Wanting to stand up, Ming Lang directly grabbed him and forcibly made him sit down.

“Our mother has been receiving calls about you every day. Many people want to introduce their daughters to you. When Dong Yi starts school soon, what will happen to Panpan? Leaving him at our mother’s place all the time isn’t good for the child either.”

Xiao Qian immediately caught on.

“Even if they’re good to the child, they can’t replace parents’ love. You delay any longer, the child grows up, and even if you find someone, the child might not be able to adapt. If there’s someone suitable, you have to consider your personal issues.”

Second Brother was bothered by Xiao Qian and Ming Lang’s words.

“You two haven’t even gotten engaged, and you’re already wearing the same pants,”

“Honestly, why don’t you call our mom right now and ask her yourself? See how many blind dates she has arranged for you?”

As soon as Ming Lang’s words fell, Dong Yi put down her bowl and stood up.

“I’m going to the bathroom.”

She couldn’t listen anymore and retreated to the bathroom, closing the door and not coming out again.

Without Da Yi, Panpan held his breath and refused to eat. Second Brother tried to hold him, but he stubbornly sat in Dong Yi’s place, waiting for her to return.

Second Brother glared at Ming Lang.

“Can’t even eat in peace.”

It was all the fault of those two, babbling nonsense. Dong Yi must be feeling very awkward now, right?

Second Brother wanted to find Dong Yi and comfort her, but he didn’t know what to say, and besides, Ming Lang and Xiao Qian were still here, so he didn’t know how to speak.

“Don’t just look at the surface of the issue. Xiao Qian and I didn’t say anything wrong. Why do you both feel awkward?”

Ming Lang picked up his bowl and continued eating.

Second Brother snatched the chopsticks away from him and placed them on the table.

“All you know is eating.”

Xiao Qian fed Ming Lang a piece of meat, Ming Lang happily opened his mouth, and couldn’t help but use his gaze to stimulate his divorced brother with a child, “Second Brother, I feel sorry for you.”

Having said all this, he and Xiao Qian had made it clear, but these two ostriches were still acting like this.

If they hadn’t pushed the situation along, these two would have likely hesitated for years and still stayed in the Stone Age. Ming Lang and Xiao Qian shared the same opinion.

Things had to be made clear, they couldn’t allow these two ostriches to continue pretending they didn’t know and keep dragging things on. It would delay both of their lives, and whether it was a good outcome or a breakup, there had to be a result. Indecision would not lead to a good result for Dong Yi and Second Brother.

After dinner, Xiao Qian said she wanted to eat fried chicken at the school gate. She asked Second Brother to drive Dong Yi there, while she and Ming Lang stayed at home to watch the children.

Panpan became restless because he couldn’t see his father and Yi Yi. He couldn’t express his dissatisfaction with complete sentences since he started talking late, so he went around looking for trouble. One moment he complained that the game Xiao Qian played with him wasn’t fun, the next he grumbled that Ming Lang didn’t hold him high enough. When he was unhappy, he’d cry and make Ming Lang and Xiao Qian’s ears hurt.

The two finally managed to get Panpan to sleep, but the naughty kid wet the bed in his sleep. Xiao Qian could only hold the naked sleeping child while Ming Lang changed the sheets.

“Raising a child is so difficult.” Ming Lang complained, Second Brother’s child was not cute at all.

“Actually, once you’re used to it, they can be very cute.” Xiao Qian saw Ming Lang complaining while carefully making the bed for the child. Ming Lang would probably be a good father in the future.

“It depends on whose child it is. I don’t like Second Brother’s child but if you give birth to one, I’d like it. Qian Bao, should we have a few more children in the future?” Ming Lang felt happy just thinking about having children with Xiao Qian.

“You like children?”

“I like the children you give birth to.” Ming Lang hadn’t thought that far ahead, but seeing Xiao Qian holding Panpan, he imagined her holding their child, and she would be even more loving.

“You just keep talking.” Xiao Qian felt sweet inside, but didn’t show it on her face.

“I’m serious. Having many children is actually quite nice. Look at our family, the children get along well. Even with Second Brother dragging us down, we still help him.”

Ming Lang felt a bit regretful. His career would only allow him to have one child, which seemed a little too few. However, there would be the children from his elder brother’s family to accompany his child, so they wouldn’t be lonely.

“Will Second Brother open up to Da Yi when they go out this time?” Xiao Qian deliberately sent them out together, intending for Second Brother to explain everything clearly.

They couldn’t keep dragging things on without saying anything. Dong Yi couldn’t always accompany Second Brother and take care of Panpan for him. Even if they thought their relationship was fine, it didn’t look good to others, both for Dong Yi and Second Brother.

Ming Lang knew Second Brother’s character well. It was certain that he wouldn’t choose Dong Yi. Although he had tried to figure out if Dong Yi held a special place in Second Brother’s heart, Ming Lang already knew what the outcome would be.

“Second Brother should probably thank Dong Yi and then find a new doctor for Panpan.”

“You didn’t notice that Second Brother’s feelings for Da Yi are different?”

When Ming Lang tried to test Second Brother, Xiao Qian, as a bystander, saw it clearly.

“It’s no use. My Second Brother is even more stubborn than me. You see him not talking, but his mind is set. Not to mention, he’s a divorced man with a child. Even if he wasn’t married, he wouldn’t be with Dong Yi. If I hadn’t known you had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, I wouldn’t have tried, either.”

With such a large age gap and the woman being a student, there was no way Second Brother would choose Dong Yi.
