Do You Like It When I Call You Husband?

Upon arriving near the planting area, Lou Yu parked the car, turned to Tao Qiu, and asked, "Want to go in and take a look?"

Tao Qiu shook her head. "No need for now, I just need to remember where it is."

The Second Cub leaned against the back of the front seat, shaking his little head adorned with pretty hair accessories, and said with a smile, his eyes crinkling, "Daddy, I remember it too! From home to school, and then from school to here, I remember it all so clearly!"

The Eldest Cub chimed in, "I've also noted down all the buildings and sights nearby."

"Even if we have to walk on our own, we won't get lost." The Third Cub's tone was full of confidence, and his little face was quite playful.

Lou Yu also chimed in enthusiastically, "Really? My little darlings are so amazing!"

Tao Qiu smiled and said, "My darlings are exceptionally smart, aren't they?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The Second Cub nodded earnestly, "We're the smartest babies in the world."

Tao Qiu and Lou Yu were amused by her clever expression, making the already relaxed atmosphere even more pleasant.

Lou Yu glanced at his watch and said, "It's still a bit early for lunch, and we won't be able to explore the new place for long. How about I show you around, let you get familiar with the main roads and alleys, and then we'll go to the restaurant? What do you say?"

Tao Qiu: "Okay."

The children said, "We'll all listen to Dad Lou Yu."

"Okay, let's go back to the car. It's easy to fall if the car starts moving."

Once the kids were seated obediently, Lou Yu started the car again, and this time he rolled down the windows next to him and Tao Qiu halfway.

So, during this time, everyone who was walking on the street and knew Lou Yu saw him drive past them with a handsome man with long white hair and three adorable little children.

Lou Yu would occasionally smile and talk to the long-haired handsome man and the children, seeming to know them very well.

Because it was just a fleeting glance, they only noticed that both the long-haired man and the child were quite handsome, but they didn't notice the similarities in their appearances.

The identities of the long-haired man and the child, and their relationship with Lou Yu, have gradually become the latest topic of conversation.

It's hard to believe that Lou Yu didn't do this intentionally.

After wandering around most of the base, Lou Yu finally stopped in front of a restaurant.

This isn't one of those fancy restaurants that caters to banquets or anything like that, and there are no restrictions on who can eat here. But Lou Yu has eaten here a few times before, and the food is quite good; it's more like home-style cooking.

It's almost lunchtime, and the flow of people entering and leaving the restaurants is still quite considerable.

Lou Yu got out of the car, opened the back door, and carried the three children out.

The Third Cub was the last one. She reached out to hug Lou Yu's neck, but Lou Yu didn't put her down. Instead, he let her sit on his arm.

The Second Cub Eldest Cub ran to find Tao Qiu, and Tao Qiu took their hands.

The family walked towards the restaurant.

The five of them were strikingly good-looking, and their distinctive white hair drew instinctive glances from everyone nearby, whether they knew Lou Yu or not.

Tao Qiu and Lou Yu seemed oblivious to their stares and calmly continued walking forward.

The Third Cub swung his toes gently and excitedly said to Lou Yu, "Dad Lou Yu, I've memorized all the places we just passed!"

Lou Yu his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Our Yuanyuan is so great! How about you give Dad directions when we get home later?"

"Okay, I know it? I'll tell Daddy the way!" the Third Cub said, then lowered his voice, "But I can't lie about people I don't know. I'm an honest kid, I can't lie."

Lou Yu chuckled, "Yes, our Yuanyuan is a smart and honest good child."

The Second Cub Eldest Cub next to her were also pulling Tao Qiu aside to talk.

Eldest Cub: "Daddy, I'm a little thirsty. Is there any water in here?"

Tao Qiu: "Yes, but it's cold, so you should drink hot water later."

"Dad, I can smell the food! Can we order lots of meat?" the Second Cub asked expectantly.

Tao Qiu turned to Lou Yu, her tone slightly mocking. "You'd have to ask your Lou Yu's father. He paid today."

"Daddy Lou Yu ~" the Second Cub giggled and acted spoiled.

Lou Yu readily agreed, "Sure, order whatever you'd like to eat."

"Yay! Lou Yu's dad is the best!" Second Cub's compliments were all just casual remarks, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The family chatted as they walked into the restaurant, leaving the passersby who witnessed the whole thing speechless.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's Lou Yu, isn't it?"

"What's his relationship with that man and child? And why does the child call him 'Dad'?"

"What other relationship could it be if he calls me 'Dad'?"

"How is that possible? Lou Yu has always been single. Where did these three kids come from?!"

"That white-haired, green-eyed man next to him? I haven't seen him before. What's his background?"

The long-haired man was so handsome, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Lou Yu. If he was from the Yong'an Base, it was impossible that no one at the scene recognized him.

"I don't know, but I heard that the commander sent people to return food to Yongkang Base this time, and Lou Yu went with them. It looks like he only came back yesterday. Could this man and child be the ones he brought back from Yongkang Base?"

"Then they can't be his biological children, right? They can't be children of two men, can they? My personal guess is that all three children are that long-haired man's. Lou Yu and that man are probably having an affair; he's become a stepfather."

"Wow, she'd rather be a stepfather than stay with this guy? How much does she love him? She brought him back from just one trip to the Yongkang Base; maybe it was love at first sight."

"Didn't you see? The long-haired man's appearance? Ah, white hair and green eyes, definitely a foreigner. Don't you remember the rumors from a while ago about Lou Yu having an unforgettable ex-girlfriend from abroad?"

"Is this your first love, or..."

Substitute

"

"Who knows? It just confirms the previous rumor."

"Whether it's a first love or a substitute, look at that man and his three children? Their delicate skin and pampered appearances clearly indicate they've been spoiled. If Lou Yu had to support them, he'd probably go bankrupt."

"That's right. Food is scarce right now, and we don't know where our next meal will come from. But did you hear that? That little girl wants to eat so much meat. Who can afford to feed her?"

"Isn't Lou Yu a superhuman? He's different from us. At worst, he'll just do a few more missions to earn money."

"Heavens! Heavens! Eating like this, won't he die from overwork during his mission?"

"Shh, what do you mean by 'death'? If any of the people who like Lou Yu hear this, you'll get a beating."

"Uh, am I the only one who thinks those three kids look a lot like Lou Yu?"

"How is that similar? Are you seeing things? Lou Yu is raising someone else's child?"

Should we call him a devoted lover or a sucker?

Gossip about Lou Yu has once again spread like wildfire.

In the restaurant, Lou Yu booked a private room. The kids were ordering, and the waiter stood by taking notes.

There is a gap between the rich and the poor everywhere. Ordinary base residents are saving food because they are worried about a possible food shortage, but most restaurants are still operating normally because Yong'an Base has not yet reached the point of destitution, and there are always people who can afford to eat.

The waiter clearly recognized Lou Yu; seeing him enjoying himself with this handsome stranger and three adorable children, his gossipy nature was already burning brightly.

He was determined to share everything he was seeing right now with his colleagues, down to the smallest detail!

When Tao Qiu and his group entered the private room, the waiter brought out a pot of hot water and a plate of snacks.

Tao Qiu poured hot water for Eldest Cub. Da Eldest Cub thanked him and held the cup in his hands, blowing on it a few times before taking small sips.

After Second Cub Third Cub finished ordering their dishes, Lou Yu took the menu and had Tao Qiu and Eldest Cub order a few more.

After ordering, Lou Yu politely said to the waiter, "Thank you, that's all we'll have."

The waitress responded and was about to leave when Second Cub said to her in a childish voice, "Bye-bye, pretty big sister~"

The waiter was charmed by her adorable appearance and instinctively cleared his throat, "Bye-bye, little one~"

She was overjoyed, thinking that she would come back again when the food was served, not for any other reason than to see this well-behaved boy again.

Chapter 94 Do you like me calling you husband?

While the family waited for their food, news that Lou Yu had apparently become a stepfather spread from the customers to the staff.

Aside from Lou Yu and his group's private room, almost everyone inside and outside the restaurant was discussing this matter.

As soon as their dishes were prepared, waiters rushed to deliver them, practically fighting tooth and nail, all just to see the long-haired man and his three children with their own eyes.

The waitress who had taken our order was surrounded and questioned by everyone. She had wanted to rush to serve the food, but she didn't get a chance.

Seeing that the competition was too fierce, she gave up and started focusing on gossiping with everyone.

"That white-haired gentleman is incredibly handsome, almost as handsome as Lou Yu. He also seems to have a very gentle personality."

"The three children are adorable and very well-behaved; they even call me 'pretty older sister.'"

"I think they are a very good family, and they get along very harmoniously."

Some people might be unable to bear seeing others do well, or they might simply love to contradict others. Seeing that every word she uttered was in favor of Lou Yu and his group, they consciously and clearly stood up to refute her.

"What's so good about it? They're just raising someone else's child; what a sucker."

"That's right? That's right? He's supposed to be a superhuman, yet he's incredibly stupid."

"If he stays with that white-haired man from now on, he definitely won't have any offspring. His ancestors would be so angry they'd come back to life and beat him to death."
