Chapter 810 - 389: Jumping Around (Part 2)

Watching that young man flee in disgrace like a homeless dog, Gu Ningxuan couldn’t help feeling a wave of helpless sigh inside.

In terms of age, that youth was only five or six years younger than himself, but in terms of seniority, he was the same generation as Huaixi and the others.

If it hadn’t been for having that kind of father, passing down genes with fatal defects, he might have become a normal person, living out a relatively plain but healthy future.

It’s just a pity... Thinking of this, Gu Ningxuan clenched his fists tight, forcing himself to calm down. Those people from that research institute... really have piled up sins! Greedy, brutal, inhuman!

Finally sobering up from that anger, Gu Ningxuan felt an extra touch in his palm. He turned his head and saw Little Bear Huaifeng, who had just been acting all high and mighty, now looking shy like a girl, and snarling, "Let’s go home."

Only then did Gu Ningxuan snap back to his senses and notice that they were surrounded by students watching the drama, occasionally whispering and pointing.

His hearing was excellent, so of course he didn’t miss their muttering. Most of it was questioning the brothers’ bloodline, or being shocked that he’d acknowledged the two kids...

Gu Ningxuan’s face darkened and he frowned. He’d thought only those idle people on the net would cling to this topic, but he hadn’t expected the environment around Huaixi and Huaifeng to be this rotten too.

"Young master here has zero interest in squatting around acting for an audience. Let’s go, let’s go... I’m starving to death, going home to have my brother cook."

Huaifeng gloomily glanced at the students, then glared fiercely at Gu Ningxuan. If this man hadn’t been so unreliable back then, he and his brother wouldn’t be stuck in this situation now. Bottom line, it’s still his fault!

But seeing as his performance just now was actually pretty manly and made him quite satisfied, he decided to let it slide for now. Besides, it was indeed getting late and he was hungry; rather than bicker with these people and drag down his own IQ, he’d be better off eating another bowl of rice!

It’s just a shame Aunt Su Mo wasn’t with them, and there wasn’t a single person at home who could cook, so they could only rely on his all?arounder big brother to take over the kitchen.

As for Qianhe? Forget it. Aside from his face and figure being very "girly," what other feminine features does he have? Though Qianhe isn’t exactly a kitchen disaster, his pathetic skills are really not worth mentioning, nowhere near his big brother’s level.

Su Mo had actually wanted to stick with the two kids all the time, but they were usually on missions for long stretches, spending most of their time flying all over the place. As a robot, she couldn’t follow them around at will, so she simply stayed back on Ancient Star. Of course, under old man Gu Molin’s relentless exploitation, as a top-tier autonomous intelligent robot she was used to the extreme—wherever someone needed her, that’s where she squatted.

All in all, the fact that foodie-plus-Little-Bear Huaifeng had been raised so well over these years was inseparable from his big brother’s "good housewife" qualities.

Setting Su Jiameng aside, Gu Ningxuan was also a total bachelor; things like cooking were basically a fantasy to him.

Hearing his younger son say he was hungry, his first reaction was to pull out his wallet and take the boys out for a big meal, not to personally lower himself to wash his hands and make soup for his son... It wasn’t that he was unwilling, it’s just that, like Huaifeng, he could eat but not cook...

However, once he heard that his eldest son could actually cook, his mind started working overtime. Should he take his two teenage bun-sons out for a big feast to lighten the load on his eldest? Or happily enjoy his eldest’s cooking and revel in the perks of being a dad?

The scale in Gu Ningxuan’s heart kept tipping back and forth, and in the end he still didn’t arrive at a definite answer. Fortunately, his son helped him solve the problem—and he even had the good luck to discover just how "multi?talented" his eldest really was!

Huaixi’s face was cold, brows knitted, his slightly youthful features already hinting at the charm he’d have when more mature.

He held a shopping basket in one hand and tossed selected vegetables and meat into it with the other. The vegetables were the freshest, the meats the most nutritious, and as for all those miscellaneous seasonings... ahem, for a guy like Gu Ningxuan who can’t tell one grain from another, recognizing even one or two was already impressive. But... to show off how learned and great a dad he was, he had to act like he knew what he was doing even if he didn’t!

Wanting to seize the chance to build up a tall and mighty image in his sons’ hearts, Gu Ningxuan tried to help his eldest buy ingredients. Tragically, he noticed that every time he tossed something into his son’s basket, it would be ruthlessly thrown back out a few breaths later.
