Chapter 177: Chapter 177: The Classic of Male Virtue
Momo was both amused and exasperated by his frustratingly greedy little expression, finding it both funny and pitiful, and simply couldn’t bear it: “Are you really that greedy?”
Han would be wagging his tail if he had one, eager to show Momo how excited he was!
Momo finally relented: “Alright! You can only have one bowl. If you drink more, there will be none left for Mommy.”
Lin Qi said: “If Han likes it, let him have an extra bowl.”
Although the thermos bottle had only enough for three bowls, Lin Qi still couldn’t bear to let Han go hungry.
Besides, Han’s eagerness only meant that Momo’s cooking skills were excellent; she could only feel proud and honored.
Her Momo was a little genius.
Soon, it was time.
Lin Qi could drink water and eat now.
Momo said: “I’ll go warm up the chicken soup.”
Lin Qi said: “No need, the chicken soup is still hot.” Although she preferred her soup piping hot, Han was going to drink it too, and his esophagus was still so tender, he couldn’t have it too hot.
Han looked on like a little gluttonous kitten, his eyes fixed on Momo as she ladled out the chicken soup.
He stared without blinking, his mouth slightly open and saliva secreting.
Huo Tingdong quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth.
He hadn’t realized his son was such a foodie.
He thought about it and couldn’t remember ever letting his son go hungry. Why hadn’t he noticed before that Han was such a little glutton?
The first bowl Momo ladled out was given to Lin Qi.
Han didn’t snatch it but waited obediently for Momo to serve him some soup.
Soon, Momo brought him the chicken soup and glanced at him coolly, “Can you wipe your drool first?”
Han obediently took out his exquisite little handkerchief, wiped his mouth with grace and earnestness, and then looked up expectantly again.
He took the bowl of chicken soup with both hands, held the spoon, and took a delightful sip.
Following that, he closed his eyes blissfully, savoring the delicious taste of the chicken soup.
Lin Qi took a sip and found the soup delicious but a bit bland, clearly, Momo was considerate, knowing that she was recovering from an illness and shouldn’t have anything too salty.
Momo said: “I didn’t add salt. This chicken soup is all-natural and has been stewing for a long time.”
Lin Qi asked: “A hen?”
Momo nodded: “I went to several markets to find a home-raised old hen.”
Lin Qi felt warmth in her heart: “Momo, thank you. You and Han have been by my side these past few days, it must have been tough!”
Momo shook his head: “Not at all.”
Then, he glanced at Han, still immersed in his chicken soup, and said coolly: “Han had it much tougher than me.”
Lin Qi asked: “Why?”
Momo chuckled dismissively: “I cooked the chicken soup, and he’s been pining for it ever since, but didn’t dare to sneak a taste, craving it day and night so much he couldn’t sleep.”
Lin Qi: “…”
Momo suddenly smiled: “Besides, Han was very worried about you. He cried behind my back, and I caught him.”
Lin Qi didn’t believe it and looked towards Huo Tingdong.
Huo Tingdong said: “I wasn’t aware of this.”
Lin Qi said: “I rarely see Han cry.”
She looked at Han tenderly and asked: “Han, why did you cry?”
Han looked up at Lin Qi, his eyes suddenly twinkling: “Because, Han was afraid he wouldn’t see Aunt Qiqi ever again…”
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, curving like crescent moons, utterly charming and adorable.
Now that Aunt Qiqi was back, he was no longer afraid.
Lin Qi said, “Han, Auntie promises you that from now on, she won’t leave you and Momo, okay?”
Han nodded vigorously, like he was pounding garlic.
Suddenly, he blurted out, “When will Aunt Qiqi and Daddy get married?”
Lin Qi’s face flushed with heat.
Momo said, “What’s the rush? If your Daddy wants to marry my Mommy, he has to pass my test first!”
But Han retorted confidently, “My Daddy is not marrying you.”
Whenever he needed to be shrewd, Han sure knew how. With one sentence, he rendered Momo speechless.
Logically flawless, Momo had no comeback.
Lin Qi struggled to contain her laughter and looked at Huo Tingdong, only to find him staring at her.
She immediately lowered her head and took a guilt-ridden sip of chicken soup.
Huo Tingdong then turned to Momo, “I want to marry your Mommy, so what test must I pass?”
Momo crossed her arms and said haughtily, “How should I know? Can you treat my Mommy well for a lifetime? Pamper me for a lifetime?”
Huo Tingdong replied, “How do you want me to prove it to you? Only time can truly prove such things.”
Momo nodded, “Exactly, so don’t rush into marrying my Mommy. What if you’re just impulsively acting now and end up disappointing my Mommy later?”
Huo Tingdong fell into contemplation.
The little guy squinted one eye, stealthily observing Huo Tingdong’s facial expressions. Seeing he seemed deep in thought, he added, “Do you know how many people are in line wanting to be my stepfather?”

Huo Tingdong nodded seriously, “Yes, I know.”
Suddenly, he realized, “Stepfather?”
This kid really was his biological son.
After all, regardless of his marriage status with Lin Qi, he was still the boy’s “real Daddy,” wasn’t he?
Momo stated, “I don’t care! Anyway, if you want me to give you my Mommy’s hand in marriage, you have to show true sincerity.”
Huo Tingdong: “…” It’s not that he lacked sincerity.
It’s just that the demands Momo was making were a bit too vague.
Han couldn’t help but interject again, “It’s not you who’s marrying my Daddy.”
Momo turned around, hands on hips, “Whose side are you on, exactly?”
Han glanced at Huo Tingdong, then at Momo, and finally down at the bowl of chicken soup in his hands. Abruptly, he shuffled closer to Momo, choosing his side.
Huo Tingdong looked at the two “filial sons” before him, particularly Han, who had been easily won over by a bowl of Momo’s chicken soup.
He said, “Momo, why don’t you list your conditions?”
Momo raised a finger, “First, absolutely no involvement in drinking, whoring, gambling, or drugs.”
Huo Tingdong responded, “I don’t whore, gamble, or abuse alcohol.”
Momo extended a second finger, “Second, no cheating, no keeping other women on the side.”
Huo Tingdong promised, “I swear on my life I will not have an affair.”
Momo raised a third finger, “Once you marry my Mommy, my Mommy is the sky. You can’t argue with her. If Mommy gets angry, you can only take it. You can’t scold or lift a hand to her.”
Huo Tingdong summarized, “No domestic violence.”
Momo continued, “Fourth, you must compliment my Mommy every day. Whenever she needs you, you must be there for her right away to cheer her up.”
Huo Tingdong nodded, “Anything else?”
Momo went on, “There is more! The fifth rule, besides Mommy, your phone contacts and WeChat must not have any other women’s names.”
Huo Tingdong: “…”
