Lalisa pulled her hand back from Jiwon’s and forced a smile, saying, “I… but now I’m Mom and Dad’s child.”

“You can have two moms and dads,” Jiwon said, excitedly grabbing Lalisa’s hand. “Yes, you can! Isn’t it better to have two moms and dads to love you? Rourou, please, I’m begging you. Please give me a chance to make it up to you.”

Lalisa pulled back her hand again, jumped to her feet and replied hesitantly, “I want to be alone. Would you please go out for a while? I’d like to think about it.”

Seeing the discomfort on her daughter’s face, Jiwon knew that she had gone too far, so she hurriedly nodded and said, “Okay, I won’t force you. Take your time. Don’t be tired…”

Lalisa reached out and closed the door. It was undeniable that Jiwon, as a mother, was really good to her child.

Jiwon stood sadly at the door to Lalisa’s room with red eyes, and it was a long time before she turned to leave. When she went downstairs, Yeji was making soup in the kitchen. Seeing her coming down, Yeji asked her to sit in the living room. Jiwon shook her head in response, went to the kitchen door and asked her, “Do you usually cook for them?”

Jiwon had rarely cooked since she married because she had spent almost all her time on her company and had no time to cook for her family.

Yeji replied with a nod, “They aren’t used to take-out food and I don’t want to hire servants, so I do the housework myself.” Then she took a bunch of vegetables out of the refrigerator to prepare before continuing, “Take a seat. The food will be ready in a minute. Shrimp in scallion sauce is Lili’s favorite. Taehyung and Jimin went out to buy shrimp. You can watch TV in the living room.”

Jiwon didn’t want to stay to see them having their sweet moment, but she was reluctant to leave like this. She smiled and said, “Let me help you, though I may not be able to do it well.”

A gleam of surprise flickered across Yeji’s eyes. Every year, they would return to the Min Family’s mansion for Chinese New Year. She would go to the Min Family’s mansion early to instruct the servants on how to prepare the meals, but Jiwon wouldn’t come until the meal was ready. After eating, she would also leave in a hurry. She had always looked so busy. Could she cook?

Seeing the surprise in Yeji’s eyes, Jiwon smiled and said, “Before I married Hyunbin, I cooked and ate by myself. Although the food was simple, I did know how to cook.”

Yeji said no more and handed Jiwon the vegetables. “Then can you help me prepare the vegetables? I’m going to make an asparagus stir-fried meat. Rourou also likes asparagus.”

Jiwon responded with a smile and a nod.

At this moment, Lalisa was sitting in front of her computer with a sad face. Staring desperately at the ceiling, she rubbed at her hair irritably as she grumbled, “Damn, 008, why can’t I activate the all-purpose skills?”

[System: My delicate little princess, this is the penalty given by the System. You can’t use the all-purpose skills for three days after waking up.]

“Why?!”

[System: Why should I tell you?] His tone sounded somewhat cute despite being robotic.

When Lalisa heard the voice of the system, the melancholy feeling in her heart immediately disappeared. She laughingly said, “Are you doing this on purpose? You just want to upset me.”

[Urgent System Prompt: Shutting down due to energy shortage.]

“Sh*t, 008, if you don’t have enough energy, then I’ll run out of electricity. You’re not a robot! Why do you need energy?!”
