Treat him well after marriage and he will cherish you.

  Enjoy your dinner. At the table, Xiao Xiao couldn't stop praising the squirrel fish and lily stir-fried with cashews that Shan Shan made, and even rarely added a small half bowl of rice.

  Gu Lao Tai had originally planned to make a list of Xiaoxiao's favorite foods for Shan Shan, but now it seemed completely unnecessary. Honestly speaking, Shan Shan's cooking skills were far superior to hers.

  There doesn't seem to be anything to worry about in terms of food, but I don't know if Shanshan can handle Xiaoxiao's spoiled personality. After all, this little girl has been pampered by her family since she was a child, and it's not an exaggeration to say that she's lived a life where everything goes her way.

  Shan Shan is still a child herself, can she handle this willful little princess?

  Taking the opportunity to collect Xiaoxiao's laundry, Mrs. Gu anxiously gave her daughter-in-law some preventive advice: "Xiaoxiao has been spoiled by us and is stubborn, no one can handle her. You need to be more patient, you should discipline her when necessary, but not too severely."

  "I will." With a smile, Ye Shanshan was determined to put in her whole heart. When she was very young, her mother remarried and went far away, never coming back again. She knew what it was like not having a mother, which was also the reason why she got along so well with Xiao Xiao.

  "You're still in school, it's not right to let Xiaoxiao move out with you. But Beichen insisted, and his dad and I couldn't persuade him otherwise. If you're busy, you can send Xiaoxiao back, occasionally staying at the old house for a day or two won't be a problem for Beichen." The son's decision was like an order, no one could change it. But the grandparents really missed their granddaughter, so they had to take action through their daughter-in-law.

  "Don't worry, I'll go back and discuss with Xiaoxiao's dad, and bring Xiaoxiao back to live over the weekend." Ye Shanshan made this decision not because she wanted to shirk her responsibilities and take a break for herself, but because she truly cared about her parents-in-law. The elderly couple was getting on in years and hoped that their grandchildren would be by their side, and as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she had a responsibility to show filial piety.

  Old Mrs. Gu's habit of picking on others recurred, "Why are you still calling Xiaoxiao's father so formally? He's almost your husband!"

  Ye Shanshan scratched her head awkwardly, "Sorry, I... am still not quite used to it."

  "Alas." Old Lady Gu sighed helplessly. "Bei Chen has to go back as soon as he finishes speaking, and who knows when he'll be able to come back? This habit is really hard to cultivate."

  Right, he mentioned it this morning. He's leaving on Wednesday night. These two days she almost didn't leave his side, and somehow doesn't feel anything, but when he really leaves, she will definitely...feel unaccustomed to it.

  "You should be nicer to him, let him miss you, so he will have the idea of returning to G city. At that time, a family can be together every day, how good is that." This is considered Old Lady Gu's ultimate goal, she only has this one son left, and cannot afford to sacrifice another for the country.

  "I... I will advise him." These words came out of Ye Shanshan's mouth a bit awkwardly. Taking care of Xiao Xiao was her duty, but she really didn't know how to be a good wife. Didn't couples need to have feelings for each other to become loving spouses? But towards him, it seemed... she completely lacked that kind of feeling.

  "I think Beichen is genuinely good to you, and he might listen to your words." Now, Old Lady Gu has pinned all her hopes on her daughter-in-law. With her, the day when her son will be transferred back to G City may not be far off.

  Ye Shanshan nodded obediently, but in her heart she was thinking: "Ha! His dad is always the one giving orders wherever he goes, what turn is it for me to speak?"

  When everything was almost packed up, Xiao Xiao pulled her dad back, looking anxious, "When are we leaving?"

  Old lady Gu pinched her granddaughter's small nose with a reluctant face, "Little thing, are you so eager to leave your grandparents?"

  "How can that be, grandma is the best, it's hard to part with you." The little girl coaxed and snuggled into her grandmother's arms, sweetly coaxing, "But tomorrow I have school, so I need to go to bed early tonight."

  Looking at her smiling and lovely appearance, Ye Shanshan secretly sighed: This little girl's mouth is really sweet, unlike her father, who always speaks so seriously. This might be inherited from her mother.

  As he thought of this, Ye Shanshan suddenly felt a sense of doubt in his heart: Why wasn't Xiaoxiao's mother around? With Gu's strict family education and special identity, how could something like having a child out of wedlock happen to him?

  Tomorrow is the day to get the certificate, but Ye Shanshan found herself helplessly realizing that her understanding of her husband was so limited.

  But one thing is certain. He's a good person and very considerate, being taken care of by him is also a very happy thing.

  Although his meticulous care sometimes seems a bit nagging.

  For example, every time before driving, he would remind her to fasten her seatbelt; after the car stopped, she had to listen to his instructions before opening the door. The reason was: as long as the car hadn't completely come to a stop, there was always the possibility of danger.

  The most excessive thing is that when going upstairs, he also ordered her to walk on the right side and cannot step over two stairs at once!

  Heavens, is this what they mean by professional habit? It seems he's treating her like a new recruit under his command.

  It's good that he left three days later and won't be back for at least a few months. Ye Shanshan silently counted the steps with her head down, secretly rejoicing in her heart.

  There was a bit of a traffic jam on the road, and it was already after 9 pm when they got home. Gu Bei Chen urged Xiao Xiao to take a bath, but the little girl pulled at Shanshan's clothes and wouldn't let go, "I want Shanshan to help me wash."

  "Okay, I'll go get your pajamas." Ye Shanshan was more than happy to help Xiao Xiao take a bath, which was better than being alone with him.

  "She can handle it herself." Gu Bei Chen couldn't enjoy the treatment of having everything done for him when he was at home, and in his opinion, children should learn to be independent after they start elementary school.

  "Dad is the most annoying, others are lucky to have a mommy, and I want to take a bath with my mommy too." The little girl was clever and knew what to say to make her dad happy. So, the "Sugou Auntie" she had been calling for two days also became "Mommy".

  This trick really worked, Gu Bei Chen was very satisfied with this statement, "Occasionally, don't make it a rule!"

  The father and daughter were both delighted, but Ye Shanshan was embarrassed, smiling and wondering if she would start calling her "mom" from tonight on.

  The answer to this question came less than a minute after entering the bathroom——

  "After all, you and Dad are getting married tomorrow, so... from now on, I'll call you Mommy, okay?" Please forgive Xiaoxiao's eagerness, she had really wanted a mommy for a very long time.

  Looking at this little face full of expectation and excitement in front of me, who can bear to say no to her?

  At least, Ye Shanshan can't do it.

  "It's okay." Everything has a first time, and it will be fine once you get used to it slowly.

  "Mommy, Mommy..." Laughing excitedly and rushing over, calling out several times in a row, "Great, Xiaoxiao finally has a mommy."

  The little girl who had finally gotten her wish was crying and smiling foolishly at the same time, her lovely and pitiful appearance made Ye Shanshan's heart tighten, and she also shed tears.
