Chapter 1044: Chapter 1045: The Position Is Not Right

Gong Juechen, however, felt exceptionally proud. ”Qingqing, the smaller fish have their advantages. You can eat this fish in one bite, not like the one your daddy caught—you have to take lots of bites. Right?”

An Yiqing looked closely at the small fish still bobbing in the air and, after making sure he truly could eat it in one bite, he nodded in agreement. ”Mmm, that’s right!”

Gong Juechen took the opportunity to ask, ”So, should Uncle Chenchen catch more of these small fish for Qingqing to eat, would that be good?”

”Yes!” An Yiqing nodded happily.

When An Jing saw this, she chuckled and asked, ”Qinger, are you saying you’d rather eat your uncle’s fish than the one your daddy caught?”

An Yiqing replied in a babyish voice, ”Qinger will eat the fish Daddy caught first, and after I’m full, then I will eat the small fish Uncle Chenchen caught.”

Gong Juechen said, ”If you’re full, will you have room for the fish I caught?”

An Yiqing, quite honestly replied, ”If I don’t have room, then Qinger won’t eat it.”

Gong Juechen immediately clutched at his heart, pretending to be deeply hurt, ”Qingqing, you’re breaking your uncle’s heart.”

Then, Gong Juechen quickly recovered, acting as if nothing was wrong. ”But, considering you are eating your daddy’s fish and not someone else’s, I won’t hold it against you.”

Right after that, Gong Juechen asked the other three little ones, ”How about you guys, do you also want to eat the fish your daddies caught first?”

The three little ones immediately clung to Xiao Changyi’s legs, clamoring at Gong Juechen, ”We want Daddy’s! We want Daddy’s!”

Seeing this, An Yiqing also joined in, hugging Xiao Changyi’s legs just like the others.

As Gong Juechen watched, he feigned sorrow and said, ”Changyi, I’m so jealous of you. Look at your kids, tsk tsk, if my kids loved me that much, I’d give them whatever they wanted, even my life.”

Xiao Changyi didn’t say anything but felt a soft warmth in his heart. He looked down at the four children clinging to his legs, and warmth slowly emerged in his cold eyes.

At the same time, he felt a deep sense of paternal pride. The pride of being so loved by the four little ones, a feeling no other man could match in the hearts of his children.

It was only after Xiao Changyi caught his third fish that An Jing started to clean the fish, preparing to grill them over the fire.

By this point, Gong Juechen felt wickedly amused because, as Xiao Changyi brought up his third rather large fish, Gong Juechen had already caught more than twenty small ones, each very small. They were so tiny he didn’t think they’d even get stuck in his teeth.

”Jingjing, I must not have read the almanac before going out today, look at the fish I’ve caught... sigh...” Initially, Gong Juechen was quite pleased with his ability to catch small fish, but after catching so many, he felt disappointed.

As she cleaned the fish, An Jing teased him, ”To keep catching small fish like this is also a skill of yours.”

”A skill it might be, but I want to catch a big one too. Seeing Changyi catch big ones makes me green with envy,” Gong Juechen admitted earnestly.

An Jing, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care much. ”Wait, I’ll have my husband give you one of his fish.”

Gong Juechen suggested, ”That’s less useful to me. I’d rather Changyi teach me the skill of catching big fish. Fish that you catch yourself taste the best.”

An Jing said, ”But isn’t he catching them the same way you are? I really don’t understand why only small fish bite your hook.”

Gong Juechen stroked his chin, gazing pensively in the direction where he had cast his line, contemplating. ”Could it be that I’m fishing in the wrong spot?”
