Tong Jiumo tinkered in the kitchen for an hour. She finished the chicken broth and made a few dishes, including baked lobster with cheese, black pepper steak, and soup with bean sprouts and vegetables.
“Lele, let’s eat simple tonight. Wait till mommy is finished with her work. Mommy will cook you a big meal.” After Tong Jiumo served the dishes, she took out two soup bowls and rice bowls.
Tong Jiumo apologized to Tong Lele as she served the dishes.
Mo Lisi looked at the widespread of dishes in front of him as the aroma filled the air. The pleasant aroma and delectable food before him caused Mo Lisi to cannot help but swallow his saliva.
The thick bowl of chicken soup made Mo Lisi drink two bowls consecutively.
For someone who always had good table manners, when faced with such a scrumptious dinner, it was as if he had thrown away his royal and gentlemanly image and instantly incarnated into a cute foodie.
Although he had the world’s top chefs back at home, the food had a similar taste all those years. Thus, it had become bland and boring for him.
This was the first time he ate food that tasted out of the world. He was so touched that his tears fell into his soup.
“Lele, was it not delicious?” Tong Jiumo looked up and saw Mo Lisi crying as he drank his soup. She suddenly became nervous and quickly got up and walked to Mo Lisi’s side.
Then Tong Jiumo took a few tissues and wiped away his tears.
Mo Lisi shook his head. “It is just that I have not eaten such a delicious meal in a long time. Mommy, I feel so blessed.”
“Darling, mommy will cook for you when I am free next time, so you don’t have to do all the chores anymore,” said Tong Jiumo as she felt guilty towards Lele.
He was still so young. Although Tong Lele was very clever and had a high IQ, he was very sensible. He had been helping to share her burden and would do the chores ever since he was two.
At this moment, Mo Lisi envied Tong Lele.
Tong Lele had a gentle and beautiful mother, yet Mo Lisi only had a cold father.
This was the first time Mo Lisi felt the warmth of a mother, and he finished his dinner with joy.
However, Mo Lisi lowered his head. ‘What did Mommy say just now?’
‘She said that Lele does all the house chores by himself?’
Mo Lisi did not know anything and did not know how to do anything. If Tong Jiumo were to find out that he was not Lele, would she dislike him?
The thought of Mo Lisi looking similar to Tong Lele, yet he was not as capable as Tong Lele, saddened Mo Lisi.
After all, Mo Lisi had the longer end of the stick from having the same face as Tong Lele.
‘This cannot do!’ To not fall behind, Mo Lisi would try to do chores as well.
As it was time to bathe, Tong Jiumo prepared the water. It was until she planned to call Mo Lisi for his bath that she came to a realization. “Lele, didn’t you hate wearing suits? When did you change into a suit?”
Tong Jiumo vaguely remembered that when she had been chasing after Tong Lele at the airport, she had seen Tong Lele wearing a black suit. However, she had not given it much thought at that moment.
“I dirtied my clothes at the airport, so I bought a new set of clothes to change.”
Mo Lisi looked up and blinked his big eyes. This caused Tong Jiumo to become shy.
“I see.” After hearing his explanation, Tong Jiumo was not suspicious of his words and instead said, “Quickly, take a shower! The water is ready!”
“Yes, ma’am!” Mo Lisi smiled while he ran into the bathroom, located in the bedroom, for his bath.
Luckily, Tong Jiumo did not realize that he was an imposter.
Mo Lisi walked out as he wore a set of cute pajamas with his hair still wet.
When Tong Jiumo saw him, she told him to come over for her to dry his hair.
Mo Lisi stared at Tong Jiumo with big eyes and said in a demanding tone, “Mommy, let’s sleep together tonight.”
It was his dream to sleep together with his mother for all these years.
Mo Lisi did not know what it was like to sleep together with his mother as he had been sleeping alone ever since he had been born. He did not even have the chance to sleep together with his father before.
It was unknown how envious Mo Lisi was of Tong Lele. In his mind, Tong Lele lived a blessed life!
