At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Lin Xinyue suddenly nodded to show she understood.

Although she had always wanted to visit Disneyland, she hadn't expected that this request would come up today, and that Gu Yu would agree so swiftly.

She knew that Gu Yu, like most boys, even with his six-pack abs, would feel tired after just ten minutes of shopping with his girlfriend.

In boys' minds, shopping means buying things, and buying things should be done quickly.

But it's different for girls, who might stroll through three or five stores and still not buy a single thing.

The focus is on the strolling.

Boys can't stand it when buying one piece of clothing involves trying on five or six of a similar style and color, and then maybe not even buying anything after all that!

This is simply incomprehensible!

Previously, when she and Gu Yu went shopping, if she tried on more than three outfits, Gu Yu would be dozing off on the sofa in the clothing store.

Accompanying a girlfriend shopping is an extremely energy-draining task for most boys.

Except when it comes to browsing digital flagship stores...

"I'll create a travel plan as soon as I get home tonight!" Lin Xinyue said excitedly.

Gu Yu, however, shook his head, holding Lin Xinyue's hand and said, "No, my beautiful princess, how could I let you do that? I will definitely arrange it!"

Gu Yu looked tenderly at Lin Xinyue, causing her to be visibly moved, and she instinctively leaned toward Gu Yu's face.

"Ahem, Yu, your tofu is about to boil over!" Dai Zhengguo, noticing the tofu slowly floating in the boiling water, promptly reminded Gu Yu.

Although he didn't really want to interrupt their display of affection.

But he also didn't want to end up eating plain tofu soup later... Read new chapters at empire

"Ah! Sorry, sorry!"

Gu Yu quickly let go of Lin Xinyue's hand and used a spatula to scoop the nearly cooked tofu out of the pot.

He drained the water from the tofu, then opened the ready can of chicken broth, skillfully slicing the tofu into small, diamond-shaped pieces and placing them into it.

This deft handling of tofu was a spectacle that took Lin Xinyue by surprise.

Watching Gu Yu put the last piece of tofu into the chicken broth, Lin Xinyue quickly grabbed the corner of Gu Yu's apron, "Your knife skills are so impressive! I want to learn!"

Her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

Gu Yu, who could cook and had superb knife skills, was simply too charming!

"I can teach you, but it will take a long time to learn."

Gu Yu then placed the previously prepared chicken breast meat and mushrooms into a bowl, followed by taking a sea cucumber from the vegetable dish and cutting it into slices the same size as the tofu.

"Good! I have plenty of time to learn! I can follow you and learn for a lifetime!"

Lin Xinyue nodded obediently.

"Pfft—cough cough!" Dai Zhengguo, who was drinking the chicken soup, was caught off guard by her overwhelmingly sweet words and sucked up a spoonful too quickly.

It was so hot that he immediately spat it out.

He was now quite certain that his presence today was superfluous!

He had thought he was coming to sample Gu Yu's culinary skills, but it seemed he was just there to witness these two youngsters feed each other affection!

"Ah! Grandpa Dai, are you alright?"

Seeing Dai Zhengguo licking his tongue because it was scalded, Lin Xinyue quickly poured a cup of cold water from the water dispenser and handed it to him.

"It's okay, it's okay! I accidentally scalded myself. Be careful when you drink the soup later; the oil on top traps the steam, and it looks not very hot, but the soup is still scalding."

Dai Zhengguo quickly took the cup of water, then reminded Lin Xinyue like an earnest elder.

"Okay~"

Lin Xinyue sweetly agreed.

"You really are like my granddaughter, haha."

Dai Zhengguo took a sip of the cold water to soothe his burnt tongue and then chuckled while looking at Lin Xinyue.

Lin Xinyue's response just now was so much like his granddaughter's. She smiled with a faint dimple, and her eyes also curved into two crescent moons.

Their smiles were both very gentle.

Unfortunately, he hadn't seen his granddaughter in three years.

His son was too busy, and his granddaughter couldn't come back for Chinese New Year either.

"It's okay if you see me as your granddaughter! After all, I'm already calling you Grandpa Dai, so it's not like I'm losing out!"

Lin Xinyue handed Dai Zhengguo a napkin to wipe his mouth.

With both hands on her knees, she watched Dai Zhengguo with a smile, as if waiting for his teachings.

"Haha, okay, from now on, I'll consider you my granddaughter then!"

Dai Zhengguo was in high spirits.

If someone else had expressed the desire to become his granddaughter, he might have just smiled quietly and declined, but Lin Xinyue was different.

Not to mention her relationship with Gu Yu, he really liked Lin Xinyue's kind and amiable nature.

This girl knew when to be serious and when to laugh heartily.

She was a very good-natured and cheerful girl.

After being with Gu Yu, he too had become livelier than before.

A good lover can indeed influence the other's personality.

Gu Yu, standing beside them and listening to the conversation, couldn't help but smile.

He hadn't expected Dai Zhengguo to approve of Lin Xinyue so highly.

He had never seen Dai Zhengguo be so easy-going with any girl before; even with his top graduate students, Dai Zhengguo always acted strictly professional.

Compared to others, though, Dai Zhengguo was closer to Qin Wanwan, but just relatively closer.

With Dai Zhengguo's status, having Xinyue recognize him as her godfather was indeed no loss at all!

Who was Dai Zhengguo?

He was the top thoracic surgery expert in the country, with few surgeons nationwide who could match Dai Zhengguo's skills.

His office was filled with banners honoring him as a "miracle doctor"!

Dai Zhengguo, who was also pleased by Lin Xinyue's recognition, playfully said,

"Why don't you call me godfather and let me hear it?"

He placed his cup on the stove and sat straight on a small stool.

"Godfather~"

Lin Xinyue didn't hesitate and directly called out.

She thought Dai Zhengguo was a very amiable old man.

She had originally thought all elderly doctors were those serious and grisly old men.

It turned out that wasn't the case.

"Eh!"

Dai Zhengguo responded loudly.

"Godfather, let me give you a shoulder rub~" Just after recognizing Dai Zhengguo as her godfather, Lin Xinyue quickly offered her kindness.

"So sensible, wow!"

Dai Zhengguo gave a thumbs up behind his back; recognizing him as her godfather was definitely not a mistake.

After massaging Dai Zhengguo for three minutes, Lin Xinyue hesitated and then spoke, "Godfather, could I ask you for a favor?"

She looked very nervous, after all, she had just met Dai Zhengguo and was already asking for his help.

She didn't know whether Dai Zhengguo would be upset.

Dai Zhengguo raised his eyebrows, but instead of getting angry, he was just surprised, "What do you need godfather to help you with? Your boyfriend has much more clout than I do!"

He glanced at Gu Yu, who was busy nearby.

Normally, shouldn't Lin Xinyue ask her boyfriend for help first if she ran into problems?

Why come to him first?

He pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of one reason—that Lin Xinyue might need his status at Haidong Hospital.

"This girl... really is clever and quirky," Dai Zhengguo sighed inwardly, realizing that her eagerness to recognize him as godfather had its reasons.

"Well... It seems Gu Yu can't really help with this matter; having you help would be more convenient, godfather."

Lin Xinyue said hesitantly.

She still felt quite embarrassed to ask Dai Zhengguo for help.

Gu Yu, hearing this, turned to look at Lin Xinyue, curious what she wanted to ask Dai Zhengguo for.

"Hmm, you tell me, as long as godfather can do it, I will help you!"

Dai Zhengguo assured her without hesitation.

"Really!?" Lin Xinyue's face lit up with surprise.

She hadn't expected this newly recognized godfather to be so easy to talk to!

"Of course, how could I deceive my own granddaughter?"

Dai Zhengguo's face was full of a kind smile.

"Um... it's about my grandfather, my real grandfather, his legs... because of joint issues, he can't stand up, and I was hoping you could help me find a competent doctor at Haidong Hospital."

Lin Xinyue stammered out her request.

Dai Zhengguo blinked, then smiled lightly, "Oh, I thought it was something serious. Leave this matter to godfather!"
