Back at the store.

Xuanxuan bounced happily to Mimi’s little nook, stroked its head, and asked with a grin, "Mimi, I’m back. Did you miss me?"

"Meow~"

Mimi lifted its eyelids lazily in response, as if to say: Alright, little master, this kitty knows, now stop bothering my rest.

But to the little master’s ears, it meant "missed you."

"I missed you too!"

Xuanxuan picked Mimi up in her arms.

Mimi actually found it a bit uncomfortable to be held, but what could it do? Xuanxuan hadn’t seen her good friend Mimi all day, and just loved to snuggle with it.

Huang Tao chuckled and said, "Xuanxuan, are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight? Daddy will make it for you first."

Xuanxuan hugged Mimi’s tummy tightly with both hands and said, "Daddy, I want to eat Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, Braised Shrimp, and Deep-fried Spring Rolls..."

What?

So much?

My precious daughter...

Can your little tummy handle it?

Huang Tao found it amusing and a bit helpless.

Of course.

When his precious daughter wants to eat, how could he, being her dad, not make arrangements?

He pinched his daughter’s nose with a smile and said, "Alright, Daddy will arrange it for you, but in small portions, otherwise you won’t finish it."

"Uh-huh~"

The little girl smiled sweetly: "Daddy, you’re the best!"

He patted her little face and chuckled, "Of course, Daddy loves Xuanxuan the most. These are all your favorites, so of course, Daddy will satisfy your cravings."

Upon hearing this, Xuanxuan’s beautiful big eyes rolled like abacus beads, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Daddy, can I have a cup of mung bean milk?"

After saying that, she looked at her father expectantly.

Huang Tao: "Er..."

He was afraid his daughter would drink too many cold beverages, which might affect her stomach.

So...

He could only refuse with a heavy heart, "Sweetheart, you just had some yesterday, let’s skip it today and you can have some after a few days, okay?"

"Why?"

Xuanxuan’s smile quickly turned into a frown, as she licked the corners of her mouth and said, "I’m so thirsty!"

Huang Tao couldn’t help but chuckle: "Mung bean milk is cold, drinking too much isn’t good for your stomach. How about Dad makes you some mung bean soup?"

Xuanxuan shook her head, pouting: "No, no, I just want mung bean milk."

He had no choice but to explain, "But if you drink too much of it cold, it will affect your stomach!"

"Then, then..."

Xuanxuan blinked her big watery eyes and said softly, "Can I just have one sip?"

Then, Xuanxuan, with her left hand struggling to hold Mimi’s belly, used her right hand to tug on her dad’s hand and pleaded, "Please, can I?"

At this point.

The determination Huang Tao had built up was shattered by Xuanxuan’s pleading voice.

Unable to resist, Huang Tao nodded and agreed: "Alright, you can have one sip, just one!"

Xuanxuan’s face lit up with joy, nodding: "Okay."

Huang Tao took a cup of mung bean milk that Ding Suqin had made earlier from the counter and thoughtfully inserted a straw.

Mimi’s round cat eyes fixated intently on the cup of mung bean milk being handed over by Huang Tao, and it reached out its furry little paws to nudge Xuanxuan’s arm.

With such obvious actions.

How could servant Huang Tao not understand? It was clearly craving it and hinting that Xuanxuan should share some with it!

But alas!

Its series of actions was ignored by both father and daughter.

With no choice, Mimi could only let out a series of "meow, meow," reminding the big and little servants, as if to say, "Servants, I want to drink too, I want to drink too..."

Huang Tao couldn’t help but think: Want to drink beverages? Just look at how chubby you are, and besides, can your little stomach handle cold drinks?

And with her mind solely on the mung bean milk, Xuanxuan didn’t sense Mimi’s desire at all. Instead, she found it a bit of a nuisance and quickly let go, placing it on the ground.

The suddenly abandoned Mimi pretended to faint at Xuanxuan’s feet...

Nah!

That was impossible.

It simply sat down stubbornly by Xuanxuan’s feet, lifting its head and staring at the cup of mung bean milk with its big shiny eyes.

Looking quite pitiful.

But still, Xuanxuan ignored it.

Xuanxuan bent down and took a big gulp of the mung bean milk her dad handed over...

Wow~

Delicious~

Xuanxuan was so delighted by the sweet sensation of the drink that she squinted her eyes, looking ever more adorable with her contented expression.

Unable to resist, she took a couple more big sips, filling her mouth with ice, feeling refreshingly cool all over, and her mood even brighter.

Eh~

What happened to just one sip?

Huang Tao couldn’t help but speak up when he saw her looking as if she couldn’t stop drinking: "Xuanxuan, you’ve had more than one sip, you know..."

Oh no~

Without realizing it, I forgot about my agreement with Dad...

Xuanxuan blinked, sticking out her little tongue in embarrassment, and said innocently like a child who had done something wrong, "Daddy, I feel like the cup of mung bean milk in your hand wants a warm home, so I wanted to help it out..."

This made Huang Tao chuckle, and he gently tapped Xuanxuan’s little nose, saying indulgently, "You little rascal, go ahead and drink, but don’t make it a habit~"

"Thank you, Daddy~"

Xuanxuan cheerfully continued drinking.

"Ring ring~"

Just then, Huang Tao’s phone rang suddenly.

He reached out to pick up the phone, seeing it was an unfamiliar caller, and answered a bit puzzled, "Hello, this is Huang Tao."

A strange voice came from the other end: "Hello, I am Jiang Zhi, the marketing manager of Sichun Company. Are you Boss Huang of Delicious Restaurant?"

"Yes, that’s me, is there something I can help you with?"

Huang Tao was a bit surprised upon hearing the caller introduce themselves.

At the time, he recommended Sichun Milk without much thought.

He didn’t expect his loyal customers and followers to be so supportive.

They directly increased Sichun Company’s sales and even caught the attention of their higher-ups.

Sichun’s manager Jiang Zhi, with a polite attitude, discussed a very sincere collaboration proposal with him over the phone...

...

In the Golden Sun Primary (4) classroom, only Ye Wen and Xu Weiwei were there setting up the classroom.

The life teacher was busy with other things.

Xu Weiwei smiled and said, "Ye, my friend said her company hired three recent grads, all young and dashing. I saw their photos, they look quite handsome! Want me to introduce one to you?"

Ye Wen didn’t even think, instinctively shaking her head to refuse: "No, thanks."

"Ye, you’re refusing so fast, could it be..."

Xu Weiwei feigned surprise, then nudged Ye Wen gently and quietly asked, "Could it be you have someone in mind?"

Ye Wen blushed slightly, unconvincingly denying, "No way..."

"Haha, you totally have someone."

Xu Weiwei stared directly at Ye Wen, asking, "Ye, do you actually like Mr. Xuan?"

When Xu Weiwei asked outright, Ye Wen didn’t feel embarrassed.

She nodded and admitted it.

Since her feelings were obvious, she decided to own them.

Seeing Ye Wen’s reaction, Xu Weiwei wasn’t surprised, just showed a little "I knew it" expression.

Frankly speaking, Mr. Xuan is quite a catch!

Young, tall, handsome, and makes a ton of money.

Back in the day, he’d be considered a top bachelor.

Today, he’s a total package!

Some people might scoff and say, no matter how rich, he’s just a chef.

But what’s wrong with being a chef?

Chefs make money too!

Someone like him is very desirable anywhere.

Of course, except for having a child...

"Huang Tao is really nice, but..."

Xu Weiwei didn’t finish her sentence, but Ye Wen understood her meaning completely.

Ye Wen was silent for a moment and then shook her head, saying, "I don’t mind, and I really like Xuanxuan."

She looked at Xu Weiwei beside her and continued, "You know, Xuanxuan is very well-behaved."

Xu Weiwei knew this very well.

In fact, she also really liked Xuanxuan.

If it weren’t for knowing her family would never approve of her seeing a man who’s been married and has a child, she would have feelings for Boss Huang too.

She smiled, "Yes, Xuanxuan is indeed very well-behaved, but will your family agree?"

This question really hit the nail on the head!

Ye Wen wasn’t from a super wealthy family, but she was well-to-do, and both her parents were quite traditional, making it hard to accept her dating a single father.

Ye Wen couldn’t help but show a bit of frustration...
