Chapter 811 - 389: Bouncing Around (Part 2)

"Dad, can you stop embarrassing us..." Huaifeng covered his face, desperately wanting to pull this embarrassing man away from the judgmental stares of the surrounding housewives. This guy was just so dumb and adorable that it made him hard to watch.

Huaifeng couldn’t understand how, despite his big brother’s evident impatience, this man just kept trying harder. You throw special ingredients meant for women’s physiological blood replenishment into his brother’s shopping basket, can’t you see his face is flushed enough to drip blood? Oh, and various chest-enhancing ingredients... Although his brother is slim, his chest muscles are quite impressive...

Each planet has slightly different ecological environments and, naturally, unique plants as ingredients. Although the planet they’re on now is the base for the second affiliated school, it’s originally a raw material base with highly developed female auxiliary industries.

What is "female auxiliary industries"? In short, it’s various supplementary industries that make women go crazy! For example, beauty, slimming, skin maintenance, hair improvement, menstrual pain relief, breast enhancement, butt lifting...

A lot of the plants on this planet have similar functions, and it’s an important raw material supplier for many interstellar companies targeting women! Numerous studies and experiments have shown that these raw materials can also be used as ingredients, with most available at supermarkets.

Yet, even though you can buy them, the supply at the daily supermarket is limited. Essentially, the quick hand gets the goodies, the slow hand gets none. Gu Ningxuan picks only those items, perhaps targeting the spots crowded with housewives? Thinking that the popular choices are good options?

Before Huaixi got too upset and quit, Huaifeng quickly pulled Gu Ningxuan aside to explain, leaving someone feeling quite embarrassed. Actually, Huaifeng didn’t mention that Huaixi made the same mistake when coming here for the first time, resulting in three days of grim expressions!

Gu Ningxuan’s psychological adaptability is strong, quickly returning to normal and avoiding further annoyance for Huaixi.

However, not causing trouble doesn’t mean he can’t care about his two sons’ current life situations. No inquiries needed about pocket money, those two guys’ assets could outmatch the old man; grades can be skipped too, since they’re both young instructors; fighting? He’ll get the idea after sparring one evening...

Then, Gu Ningxuan thought and decided to focus on their social circles. Firstly... what’s up with the pretty little girl next to his elder son? Feeling a bit unsettled, Gu Ningxuan watched as his elder son picked groceries in a seemingly model husband and father manner, while the pretty girl next to him occasionally whispered intimately.

Gu Ningxuan very quietly asked Huaifeng, "Who is that little girl? Xiao Xi’s friend?"

When Qianhe came to the Su Family, Gu Ningxuan had already left, so of course, he didn’t know about Qianhe and her uncle Qianchen. If Gu Ningxuan knew even a stranger like Qianchen had secrets surpassing what he knew before, his heart might drown in grief.

Looking at Qianhe ceaselessly directing Huaixi to buy this or that, rambling about the evening menu, Huaifeng lazily replied, "Oh, so you’re asking about the sight-impaired girl, Qianhe. Well... she’s naturally his childhood bride, not just a friend..."

Upon hearing "childhood bride," Gu Ningxuan staggered and almost fell. What do you mean "childhood bride?" His son is only twelve!

"Joking, you believed it?" Little Bear Huaifeng gave the other side a disdainful look, implying his dad lacked courage, "Qianhe is Uncle Qianchen’s niece. After you left, the big brother rescued Qianhe and her uncle from somewhere, and they’ve stayed with us ever since. Uncle Changxi said Uncle Qianchen even mentioned pawning Qianhe off to the big brother..."

After hearing this, Gu Ningxuan was tangled up for a while before finally uttering something, "Your brother is only twelve... He’s still young..."

Initially, Huaifeng didn’t grasp the meaning, but his wit figured it out soon. After realizing, he glanced at Gu Ningxuan from head to toe, delivering a single sentence that immediately dealt a critical hit to the poor dad.

He said, "Yeah, big brother’s just twelve, but you’re already forty-six..."

Huaifeng implied that while Dad was forty-six and couldn’t find a wife, his big brother was twelve... and had long settled on a choice. Is it that the son’s social intelligence is high, keeping ahead, or does the father’s level fall short, lacking intelligence?

Gu Ningxuan understood the deeper meaning behind this remark, holding back for a while before weakly asserting, "I have your mom... Plus, we’re adults, but Xiao Xi is still a child. Though there’s nothing specific yet, it’s still risky..."

Parents are adults? Dad has Mom, so he’s not single? For these two questions, Huaifeng could only express with two words.

"Hehe..." Huaifeng tossed these two words at Gu Ningxuan, whose face then turned as green as a cucumber.

Gu Ningxuan had previously heard Su Jiameng vent about it; anyone who threw "hehe" your way was essentially expressing just one line—"last year, I bought a watch..." Consequently, he reflexively, automatically translated every "hehe" perfectly.

The dinner was personally cooked by Huaixi, an array of dishes, colorful, fragrant, and delicious, ample in portions for a hearty meal. Tasting his son’s culinary skills, a certain dad felt an overwhelming heartwarming emotion. After dinner, Huaixi entered the [Model Husband and Father] mode once again, cleaning and tidying up, leaving the dining area spotless. The three father-son trio then headed to the training room for their first real showdown.
