"Pfft haha."

Bai Xi, standing next to her, finally couldn't hold back anymore. Just thinking about Yang Zhi's big frame paired with his "emo" hairstyle was so impactful that she couldn't stop laughing.

“Your dad isn’t suited to that look. He’s better suited to getting tattoos and being their boss.”

When Mingpeng heard that his father could be the eldest son, he immediately got excited and kept encouraging his father to get a tattoo, and that it had to be better than theirs.

The family walked back, chatting and laughing. Passing the market, the three of them went in to buy groceries. Yang Zhi asked Bai Xi, "What do you want to eat? Let's go buy it now."

"Let's have 'Three Treasures of the Earth' today." She really likes eggplant and potatoes, and she likes them even more when they're combined.

"Make some boiled shrimp and braised fish. I love your fish; the taste is absolutely amazing."

When Yang Zhi heard that Bai Xi liked his cooking, his mouth practically stretched to his ears. "Okay, if you like it, I'll make it for you when I get home."

Yang Zhi held the child in his arms, and Bai Sui affectionately linked arms with him. The family of three looked incredibly happy and content.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Now, Bai Xi is selling braised beef offal using the same outfit she wore when she sold breakfast.

Yang Zhi and Bai Xi braised beef and offal at home, and then set up a stall at the market during the day.

You can buy braised beef separately, or order beef noodles if you want to eat rice noodles.

For the first ten days or so, business was really slow, but who could resist the temptation of this stuff, which looked so appealing and smelled so delicious?

Everyone who has tried it says it's delicious, and there are so many repeat customers. Word of mouth spreads, and the business has gradually become very successful.

Actually, Bai Xi didn't find it tiring to do this. Yang Zhi prepared all the ingredients, and he was also the one who did most of the work of preparing the braised beef.

After all the preliminary work was arranged, Bai Xi only needed to sell beef noodles and offal noodles at her stall.

The ingredients are simple, the process is fixed, and disposable bowls and chopsticks are used.

She could handle it all by herself. After they finished selling everything, Yang Zhi would be off work and would come over to help her clean up.

Sure enough, having a man makes a difference compared to not having one. Unlike in her previous life, when she had to make all the decisions herself and was exhausted.

In her past life, Bai Xi also had an alcohol addiction because she was too tired and could only rely on drinking to numb her nerves. She would take a sip whenever she had nothing to do, and only drinking could temporarily make her forget her troubles and fatigue.

In the end, Bai Xi developed a host of illnesses from exhaustion.

To say that Bai Xi loves Yang Zhi that much wouldn't be an exaggeration; you could only say she likes him a little.

She was long past the age of fantasizing about love, and the reason she was attracted to Yang Zhi was because he was quite good in many ways.

He's a local, and since he can run a restaurant with his friends, his financial situation must be quite good. Plus, his get off work hours are flexible, and he's bought a house, so he's definitely not short of money.

They are reliable, down-to-earth, not impetuous, have their own ideas, and are steady in their work. Of course, most importantly, they all love their son very much.

Choosing Yang Zhi is a win-win situation, isn't it? Right now, she just wants a peaceful and easy life.

With a man at home to take care of things, children I've neglected by my side, and a stable income, that's all there is to life.

Bai Xi desperately needs a man like Yang Zhi right now. She doesn't want to end up like Hu Qiaosheng, who had to accompany her as she grew up and tolerate all his immaturity and willfulness.

Bai Xi was truly fed up with having to worry about everything herself.

Today, Bai Xi's business is booming. The braised beef is selling very quickly, and she has to close up shop very early.

When Yang Zhi went to pick up the child, Bai Xi had almost finished packing by herself.

However, she was quite surprised to see Yang Zhi come back so early today: "Why are you back so early today? I was thinking of waiting until I finished tidying up the stall before picking up the kids."

Yang Zhi just grinned and said, "I'll tell you when we get home." Then he quickly went over to help.

As soon as they got home, they saw Hu Qiaosheng standing at the door. They didn't find his fair complexion particularly unusual.

Ever since she and Yang Zhi got together, Hu Qiaosheng has often come over to keep the child company, saying that the child shouldn't be left to be taken care of by them alone.

After spending more time together, Yang Mingpeng no longer rejects him, and Hu Qiaosheng occasionally wants to take Yang Mingpeng to Hu's home to keep Hu's parents company.

They also wanted a grandson, and Bai Xi didn't stop them. For the sake of the child, Yang Mingpeng also had to cultivate a relationship with the Hu family and maintain good relations.

After all, the Hu family didn't mistreat the child; it's just that their personal stances differed.

For the past two weeks, she and Yang Zhi have been busy. Most of the time, Hu Qiaosheng has been picking up and dropping off the children. He has been going to the Hu family home for about ten days this month. Hu's mother and the others adore this grandson and bring back a lot of things every time they go.

Now that they are getting along well, and Yang Mingpeng no longer rejects Mr. and Mrs. Hu, the Hu family is considering having Yang Mingpeng change his surname to Hu.

Actually, Yang Zhi had no objection to the child changing his surname. The child originally belonged to the Hu family, so he had no reason to stop him.

At first, he strongly objected because he was afraid his parents wouldn't accept that their grandson, whom they had raised for so many years, wasn't their own.

The two elderly people already dote on their eldest grandson, and they are getting old. If something bad were to happen to him because of this, it would be bad for both of them.

Now that his parents know he has found a new girlfriend and know the truth, the two elderly people have gradually come to accept it, after initially finding it unbelievable.

The two elderly people meant that we shouldn't worry about them; it would be fine for their grandson to change his surname to Hu.

Anyway, they're not far apart. If they want a grandson, they can go visit him. Besides, their son isn't incapable of having children.

There's no need to make things unpleasant for both families.

After all, it's not entirely the fault of either family; they felt bad for stopping the Hu family from recognizing their grandson.

This is a good time for Yang Mingpeng to build a relationship with the Hu family, and Mingpeng gets along very well with them.

That's why Hu Qiaosheng came here today. The Hu family asked him to come and discuss something. They want Yang Mingpeng to change his name to Hu Mingpeng.

Bai Xi opened the door and let Hu Qiaosheng into the house. She said, "Let's talk inside. Judging from Yang Zhi's demeanor today, he seems to have something to say as well."

As soon as Hu Qiaosheng entered the house, he saw that the small home had been filled with many more things.

As always, Hu Qiaosheng was very at ease at home and quickly found an empty seat to sit down.

He also greeted the two of them very warmly: "Come and sit here, I have something to tell you."

He pulled Yang Mingpeng, who was standing beside him, into his arms, and looking at his adorable son, he couldn't help but give him a kiss. Now, his feelings for this child were no less than those for Yang Zhi.

After all, they are biological father and son, connected by blood. Hu Qiaosheng has a good personality and gets along very well with the child, so it didn't take long for Yang Mingpeng to really like this new father.

Now they don't call him "Dad" anymore, they just call him "Dad".

"Dad, are you here to take me home? Do Grandpa and Grandma miss me? I'm craving Grandma's fried chicken wings right now, they smell so good."

As he spoke, he smacked his lips. Yang Zhi felt a pang of sadness seeing his son and Hu Qiaosheng being so affectionate.

However, seeing his son get along so well with the Hu family made him especially happy. He believed that his son would have more relatives and more people who would love him in the future.

Mingpeng is indeed a child who deserves so much love. He is well-behaved and sensible, without any of the liveliness and mischief typical of children. Yang Zhi feels sorry for him. He only hopes that his child will have a smooth and carefree future.
