Seeing Ning Ning tightly shut her lips, as if refusing to reveal the truth, Xia Ruoan turned her gaze to Leng Zexi standing beside her and asked curiously, "What on earth did Ning Ning do that she's hiding it from us?"

Leng Zexi shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't this kid say he wanted to lose weight? We have all thought of ways to help him lose weight."

"He himself proposed to lose weight by delivering vegetables to neighbors and exercising more. I thought it was a good idea at the time."

"What happened when Ningning was delivering the food? Did she get into trouble?" Xia Ruoan asked in confusion. Delivering food can also be used as exercise. He had carefully considered the distance before letting him deliver the food, and he hadn't made any mistakes.

I could hear the words "sui sui" and "niannian".

"Mom, Ningning didn't eat much for breakfast. He went to someone else's house to have breakfast when he delivered the food." Suisui said to Xia Ruoan.

"Traitor, I brought you some food." Ningning heard Sui Sui say this.

The corner of Xia Ruoan's mouth twitched. No wonder he didn't say he was hungry.

At this point, Leng Zexi paused, then reluctantly continued, "Every time he went to deliver vegetables, he would have his bodyguards wait outside the door for him, while he would carry the vegetables into other people's homes alone."

"Most of the people who woke up early in the morning were grandparents. When the child entered the house, he saw that they were having breakfast. The elderly were very hospitable and invited him to join them. Unexpectedly, he sat down and started eating without any hesitation."

"I've always been very confused. I've been delivering vegetables for almost half a year, and he spends at least an hour every morning out. It wouldn't be surprising if he didn't lose weight, but he's actually gained weight."

"I just found out today that this kid is using delivering food as an excuse to get free breakfast."

"This little guy is really mischievous. Every time we ask the bodyguards to wait at the door, we think he is playing in the house and wasting time. Who would have thought that he is actually hiding in there eating and drinking to his heart's content." Leng Zexi looked at himself with a face that was both amusing and annoying.

"If I hadn't rushed home to look for someone today, I probably wouldn't have discovered this secret."

"This kid is sitting at someone else's table, enjoying his meal. He knows exactly what delicious food is in each household."

Leng Zexi sighed speechlessly.

"When people see how much he eats, they think we're mistreating him, not letting him eat his fill and still telling him to come back often."

"I went to ask those people he had delivered food to before. It wouldn't have been a big deal if I hadn't asked, but after I did, I was so angry I laughed."

"It turns out that every time he brought food to my house, he never returned empty-handed. It seems that he was going to someone else's house to get free food. They even asked me not to cut back on his food. If I can't afford to feed him, I can just give it to their family."

As Xia Ruoan spoke, he cast his gaze at Ningning, who lowered her head, and asked suspiciously, "Ningning, are the things your father said true?"

Ningning nodded timidly, and replied in a mosquito-like voice, "Yeah...it's true."

Hearing this, Xia Ruoan was both angry and amused. He reached out and gently rubbed Ningning's furry little head.

"My dear Ningning, you can't do this. If you feel that breakfast is not enough on weekdays, tell your mother and I promise to prepare more delicious food for you."

"You're just good, running to someone else's house and stuffing yourself without saying anything. What if you end up eating too much and your stomach gets hurt? That would be really painful."

"Besides, if someone who doesn't know the truth sees you like this, they might say that we are abusing our child and not even giving you a full meal."

"When your grandparents find out, they will definitely come to your house to hold you accountable." Xia Ruoan sighed helplessly.

Ningning, on the other hand, realized that she had done something wrong. She hung her head like a little rabbit that had made a mistake, and muttered pitifully, "I'm sorry. Ningning knows I was wrong. I won't lie to you again."

"Grandpa and grandma saw how cute I was and handed me food. They said gifts from elders should not be refused." Ningning hugged Xia Ruoan tightly and explained in a baby voice why she accepted the food.

"Yeah, I understand. After all, our Ningning is so well-behaved and cute, grandpa and grandma will definitely want to give you good food."

Xia Ruoan gently stroked Ningning's little head and comforted her in a soft voice.

At this time, Xia Ruoan turned his gaze to Sui Sui and asked curiously, "Sui Sui, when did you find out about this?"

After hearing her mother's question, Sui Sui timidly glanced at her father who was sitting next to her. After hesitating for a moment, she answered honestly, "Actually, I already knew it from the moment Ning Ning started delivering food to everyone."

"Every time Ningning comes back from delivering groceries, his backpack is always filled with all kinds of delicious snacks and fruits."

"When he gets home, he'll take it out and share it with me and Nian Nian."

After hearing what Sui Sui said, Xia Ruoan was a little amused and helpless for a moment. She shook her head helplessly, not knowing how to evaluate the behavior of these two little guys.

"Ningning, don't do this again in the future." Xia Ruoan paused, looked at Ningning in his arms seriously, and warned her seriously.

Then, Xia Ruoan said with a hint of self-blame: "It's our fault for being careless."

"Over the past few days, I've noticed that the amount of breakfast you eat every morning has been reduced by more than half compared to before. At the time, we didn't think much of it and just thought you were deliberately eating less to maintain your figure and lose weight."

"Thinking about it now, I really shouldn't have done that..." As Xia Ruoan spoke, he couldn't help but feel a wave of guilt in his heart.

"However, as your father said, if you still lie to us, that would be very wrong."

"Our biggest wish is that you can grow up happily and healthily." Xia Ruoan gently pinched Ningning's chubby little face, his eyes full of love.

"If you really don't want to lose weight, that's fine. As long as you're safe and healthy like you are now, that's fine!"

Xia Ruoan said this with a gentle look on her face. She gently stroked Ningning's hair, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Ningning, the reason we're worried about you being too fat is because we're afraid it will have a negative impact on your body."

"But if you can stay healthy, what's the harm in being a little fat?"

"No matter what, you will always be the lovely Ningning that we love the most." Xia Ruoan smiled and continued to comfort Ningning's somewhat sensitive heart.

At this time, the sunlight shines into the house through the window, making the whole room exceptionally bright and warm.

"We've planted a lot of tomatoes in our backyard. Since you've already eaten the gifts, it's only logical that we prepare a return gift, right?"

"So, how about you go to the backyard with Sui Sui and Niannian to pick some tomatoes, and then deliver them to the family you visited before, okay?" Xia Ruoan asked Ningning with an expectant look.

"Okay, Mom! I will definitely complete the task!" Ningning nodded without hesitation, her chubby little face filled with happiness and excitement.

After saying that, he took Suisui and Niannian's hands and ran towards the backyard happily.

Looking at the children's backs as they left happily, Xia Ruoan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to look at Leng Zexi beside her and said with a guilty look, "Don't ever say Ningning is fat again."

"You see, because we keep nagging like this, the child doesn't even dare to eat an extra bite of food in front of us, and even has to run to other people's homes to get food."

"Oh, I feel so uncomfortable when I think about these things..." As Xia Ruoan spoke, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Hearing his wife's words, Leng Zexi's heart was suddenly filled with regret.

He reached out and took Xia Ruo'an into his arms, saying softly, "I'm sorry, I was too harsh on Ningning before. Don't worry, from today on, I will never call him fat again."

After saying that, he placed a soft and affectionate kiss on Xia Ruoan's forehead.

"Ningning's weight is indeed slightly above the standard range, but it has not caused any substantial damage to her health so far.

The reason why I was so worried and reminded him was simply because I was afraid that he would not be able to control his desire for delicious food.

However, I didn't expect that doing so would lead him to hide the truth from us and become afraid of us, which makes me feel really guilty."

At this time, Xia Ruoan gently hugged Leng Zexi and said softly, "Then give these fresh vegetables to Zhang Kai. Please don't be angry."

Leng Zexi looked at her with confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Are you planning to send some vegetables to Zhang Kai?"

Xia Ruoan explained, "Didn't Ningning promise to send Zhang Kai some vegetables she grew herself? We can't let her break her promise, or else Ningning will be so upset!"

Leng Zexi felt helpless after hearing this and asked, "Is it just because of Ningning's promise? Is there no other reason?"

Xia Ruoan nodded quickly and answered affirmatively: "Of course, it really is because of Ningning. Do you think there is any other reason?"

Leng Zexi looked at his wife's expectant eyes and finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing Xia Ruoan was about to pack the vegetables, he pulled her up and said, "You go look after Ningning and the others. I'll pack these and send them over."

"You do it?" Xia Ruoan suddenly felt a little worried.

"Well, I figured it out. My son is here to collect debts, especially Ningning, my little ancestor. She can't be beaten or scolded." Leng Zexi sighed.
