Xu Mengyao Is Here!

Chen Mei looked somewhat helpless.

She had already done her best, but there was too great a gap between her and Lin Chen. The Cooked Food she made naturally tasted much worse.

"Mom, your Cooked Food is still pretty good. I've been eating it for so many years, and I still like the food you make."

Lin Chen said with a smile, "It's fine if Xiaoqian eats a little less. If children want to stay healthy, they need to endure a little hunger and cold."

"Mm."

Chen Mei nodded.

"Qian Qian, Grandma will practice hard when she gets home. When you visit Grandma's house later, I'll definitely make something tastier."

Lin Xiaoqian said in her childish voice, "Grandma, Mommy said children can't be picky eaters. The food Grandma makes is yummy too."

"Our Qian Qian is such a good girl."

Chen Mei said with a beaming smile.

"Daddy, teach me how to fold Paper Airplanes."

Lin Xiaoqian still remembered that she wanted to give Chen Mei and the others Paper Airplanes.

"Mm, okay."

Lin Chen carried Lin Xiaoqian to the balcony and began teaching her seriously.

Two hours later, after bathing and listening to a story, Lin Xiaoqian fell asleep. Lin Chen went to the living room, where Chen Mei and the others were watching TV.

"Son, how did the contract go?"

Lin Hai asked.

They knew Lin Chen had gone out to sign a contract with the Publishing House.

Lin Chen smiled. "I even treated them to dinner, so of course it was signed. The first print run is three hundred thousand copies. The first-print copyright fee of over a million should be transferred to me before long."

Lin Hai and the others stared at Lin Chen in shock.

They had not earned that much money in their entire lives.

"Dad, I'll find a good company Online for the house. They'll handle both labor and materials, so it'll be much easier for you then."

"You just need to supervise them."

Lin Chen said.

Lin Hai asked in surprise, "We're not hiring local people to build it?"

Lin Chen shook his head. "The construction crews back home specialize in building those old-fashioned houses. Even if we give them blueprints, what they build will probably end up looking neither here nor there."

"Hiring a professional company might cost a little more, but there shouldn't be any other problems."

Lin Hai nodded.

"Son, we plan to head back tomorrow."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "So soon?"

Lin Hai said, "We need to go back and handle the paperwork for the house. We have to hurry if we want it finished before the end of the year. Otherwise, when the New Year comes, we'll only be able to stay at someone else's place."

"Once the house is built, maybe you can bring Qian Qian back for the New Year too."

Lin Chen guessed that was the real point.

Lin Hai and the others probably wanted him to bring Lin Xiaoqian back for the New Year.

"Son, it'd be best if you could bring Mengyao back too."

Chen Mei said.

The next day, Lin Chen and Lin Xiaoqian saw Chen Mei and the others off at the airport.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I have a gift for you."

"Close your eyes."

Lin Xiaoqian said mysteriously.

Chen Mei, Lin Hai, and the others closed their eyes.

Lin Xiaoqian took out a Paper Airplane she had folded herself. "Grandpa, Grandma, look. This is the Paper Airplane I made."

"When you see it, you can think of Qian Qian."

Lin Chen said in surprise, "Xiaoqian, didn't you say before that if Grandpa and Grandma's plane flew away, they could ride your plane? Why did you change what you said now?"

Lin Xiaoqian giggled. "Silly Daddy, this is a Paper Airplane. It's not real, and people can't ride it."

Lin Chen: "..."

Lin Hai, Chen Mei, and the others burst into laughter.

"Thank you, Qian Qian."

Chen Mei hugged Lin Xiaoqian and kissed her.

"Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma."

Chen Mei and the others entered the airport, while Lin Chen drove away.

An hour passed.

"Host, your accumulated driving time has reached twenty hours. Your Driving Skill has risen to Grandmaster level."

The system's voice sounded In Lin Chen's Mind.

Lin Chen's parents had been here for three days. During those three days, he had taken Lin Xiaoqian and his parents to quite a few places around Magic City.

He had spent a considerable amount of time driving.

"It's already Grandmaster level. Not bad!"

A smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

Grandmaster level had reached a World-Class Level.

Even the world's top racing drivers were now only about as good as Lin Chen. But Lin Chen's level could continue to improve.

He could still reach Legendary level and Mythical level!

"System, what levels are all my skills at now?"

Lin Chen asked In His Mind.

He truly had not paid much attention to it.

After all, improving these skills happened naturally while he was taking care of Lin Xiaoqian. Deliberately trying to do so would instead prevent his abilities from improving.

The system said, "Host, your Cooking Skill has accumulated thirty hours, equivalent to thirty years of diligent study for others."

"Your Cooking Skill has reached Grandmaster level."

"Fairy Tale Grandmaster level, Driving Grandmaster level, painting and calligraphy Master level. The rest have not yet reached Master level."

"Additionally, your physique is at ninety-five points."

"You have proficient mastery of four languages: English, German, French, and Russian."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's face.

He had not possessed the system for long, yet he had already undergone a complete transformation.

"Daddy, I miss Mommy."

"When will Mommy come back to see Qian Qian?"

"Does Mommy not want Qian Qian anymore?"

As Lin Xiaoqian spoke, she actually began to cry.

Lin Chen hurriedly comforted her. "Xiaoqian, how could Mommy not want you? Mommy will be back before long."

"When we get home, you can call Mommy, okay?"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded.

"Daddy, how much longer until we get home?"

"I miss Mommy so, so much."

Lin Chen said, "Very soon. We'll be there after we pass the intersection ahead."

Half a minute passed. Lin Xiaoqian looked out the window and said excitedly, "Daddy, I saw Mommy's car."

"That car just now was Mommy's."

Lin Chen said in surprise, "Xiaoqian, are you sure? Someone else could be driving the same kind of car as your mommy."

"Daddy, that was Mommy's car."

Lin Xiaoqian was absolutely certain.

Lin Chen muttered inwardly, Xu Mengyao didn't tell me. Is she trying to catch me off guard and see how well I've taken care of her?

Soon, Lin Chen drove into the residential complex.

"Beep beep!"

Just as he got out of the car, his phone rang. Xu Mengyao was calling.

"Lin Chen, where did you and Qian Qian go?"

"I'm outside the apartment you rented. No one answered the doorbell."

Xu Mengyao asked after the call connected.

Lin Chen said, "We're in the underground parking garage. We'll be right up."

Lin Chen and the others soon went upstairs.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy, I missed you so much!"

The moment Lin Xiaoqian saw Xu Mengyao, she shouted excitedly.

"Qian Qian, Mommy missed you too."

Xu Mengyao said with a smile as she took Lin Xiaoqian into her arms.

Lin Xiaoqian asked innocently, "Mommy, do you miss Daddy too? Daddy misses you so, so much."

Lin Chen: "..."

When had he ever said that he missed Xu Mengyao?

Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen felt a little awkward.

Although he and Xu Mengyao had slept together and even had a child, they really did not know each other very well.

"Mommy, do you miss Daddy?"

Lin Xiaoqian asked again.

"Mm... I do."

Xu Mengyao nodded.

If she said she did not, it would affect Lin Xiaoqian if her parents did not get along.

Lin Xiaoqian said hopefully, "Mommy, then don't leave, okay? Qian Qian wants to sleep with Daddy and Mommy tonight."

"Good girl."

Lin Chen silently gave Lin Xiaoqian a thumbs-up.
