Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 370 - 360: Warm as Spring

The deep winter night was very quiet.

The neon lights on the high-rise buildings on both sides of the road had faded away. The dazzling brilliance of the colorful lights that had just come on had disappeared, leaving only the street lamps on both sides of the road still emitting a soft glow, illuminating a small area around them.

The occasional roar of speeding cars pierced the stillness of the night.

Huang Tao drove his car back to his neighborhood.

At this time.

Every household had already turned off their lights and was resting, settled into dreams.

The night was like a black curtain, covering the earth.

Every building was pitch black.

Everything seemed very serene.

Parked the car.

Along the familiar little path in the neighborhood, he walked toward home.

When he arrived in front of the building he lived in, he couldn’t help but look up at his own window and suddenly found that the lights in his home were still on.

In the darkness, it seemed particularly eye-catching.

The orange-yellow light from the living room seemed to silently convey an expectation and waiting.

Looking up at the bright window...

This small light unknowingly melted the cold on him and the loneliness in his heart, bringing him endless warmth and comfort.

Making his heart feel soft and warm.

He thought this lamp must have been specially left on for him by his mom.

Walked upstairs.

He took the key, preparing to open the door.

Soft giggles drifted out from inside the door, playfully entering his ears.

Hmm.

It seemed to be the laughter of his little darling daughter!

A warm wave instantly flowed through his heart, and he couldn’t help but speed up, opening the door, and walking inside.

In the living room.

His dad and mom were sitting on the sofa watching TV dramas.

Xuanxuan, hugging a Peppa Pig toy, was sitting on her grandma’s lap, staring intently at the Peppa Pig cartoon.

Mimi lazily lay at her feet, squinting its eyes, dozing off.

A scene of family joy and harmony.

The living room had the air conditioning on, compared to the chilly wind outside.

It was as warm as spring here!

"Daddy~"

Just as Huang Tao opened the door, the keen-eared Xuanxuan heard the sound and quickly turned her little head. Seeing it was Huang Tao, she delightedly broke away from her grandma’s embrace, jumped off her grandma’s lap, and ran to him on her little legs: "Daddy, Xuanxuan missed you so much!"

The little girl was wearing an adorable pink Peppa Pig pajama set, still holding a Peppa Pig toy in her left hand, extremely cute.

"Daddy missed Xuanxuan too."

Huang Tao quickly bent down to pick her up, getting a loving kiss on the face from his daughter.

The smile on his face almost reached his ears, and he reached out to gently stroke Xuanxuan’s smooth hair, softly asking: "Did you stay home and listen to your grandpa and grandma?"

Tonight, because of the banquet matters, he had let his dad and mom take Xuanxuan home first.

Working hard at the shop, knowing there was a little person depending on him and caring parents waiting for him to return made for such a happy feeling because it gave life’s efforts the greatest meaning.

Holding the little person in his arms, all of Huang Tao’s exhaustion and fatigue vanished into thin air.

"Yes! Xuanxuan was very good and obedient."

Xuanxuan nodded earnestly, continuing sweetly and softly: "Daddy, grandma also gave me a bath tonight. Smell me, do I smell nice?"

Finishing her sentence, Xuanxuan stretched out her little arm, revealing a white, smooth, and tender wrist, wanting her dad to smell it to prove her claim.

Huang Tao cooperatively touched the little one’s wrist with his nose, sniffed it deeply, and nodded seriously: "Hmm, it does smell very nice."

The ticklish Xuanxuan shrank her little hand, giggling: "It tickles..."

"Meow!"

Disturbed from its dream, Mimi let out a dissatisfied meow.

As if saying: Who disturbed my feline slumber? When a feline doesn’t sleep well, it gets very fierce, so fierce that even it is afraid of itself.

Alas!

Mimi’s voice of discontent didn’t get any response from anyone, nor any attention.

Even its most beloved small owner didn’t give it a bit of a response.

Completely ignored by everyone!

Feeling down and wanting to cry~

Seeing no one paid attention to it, it sensibly didn’t seek trouble.

Gracefully walking to its exclusive cat bed, it lay down to continue its sleep.

Song Cailian and Huang Yide, the old couple, watched their father-daughter affection with loving smiles on their faces.

After watching for a while, Song Cailian walked over, kindly asking, "Tao, are you done with the shop? Are you hungry? How about I make you a night snack?"

"Mom, I’m not hungry. I had a night snack with the staff at the shop,"

Huang Tao smiled gently: "You and Dad go rest first, I can handle Xuanxuan."

"Okay."

Song Cailian nodded, then remembered: "Oh right, I changed your bed’s quilt. Today the weather forecast said there would be a strong cold front at night, it will be very cold, and it will rain, so I washed and aired out the bed covers, and changed your bedding. If the quilt isn’t warm enough, there are blankets in the cupboard."

There’s a kind of cold, which is a mom thinks you’re cold!

Huang Tao laughed: "Mom, the air conditioning is on in the bedroom at night, it won’t be cold. You can rest easy. If your room is cold, turn on the air conditioning too."

Song Cailian thought for a moment.

But she felt her room wasn’t cold enough to need the air conditioning.

If it gets cold, she’ll just add another quilt.

Alright, she was purely trying to save electricity!

Of course, she was only thrifty with herself, being generous with her son and granddaughter.

Song Cailian nodded: "Okay, I know. You and Xuanxuan rest early too! You both have had a tiring day."

"Xuanxuan, good night..."

Huang Yide turned off the TV, pulling Song Cailian to leave the living room, not forgetting to wish Xuanxuan a good night.

"Good night Grandpa, good night Grandma!"

Xuanxuan cleverly waved to them.

Huang Tao fondly tapped Xuanxuan’s little nose, saying to her: "Xuanxuan, play here for a bit, then after Daddy finishes brushing his teeth and washing his face, we’ll go to the room to sleep together."

"Mm-hmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently, then ran to the Peppa Pig toy she had left on the sofa to play with it.

Entertaining herself.

Huang Tao went first to the bedroom and set the air conditioning to 26 degrees, then grabbed a change of underwear and pajamas, and headed to the bathroom.

He quickly freshened up, then took a shower, and came out in his pajamas.

He took Xuanxuan back to the bedroom.

The father and daughter lay down on the bed with fresh sheets, feeling very comfortable.

A warm scent of sunlight filled the air.

The sun-dried quilt was different, warm!

He turned his head to look at Xuanxuan, opening his arms, and clapped his hands, saying: "Xuanxuan, come, let Daddy hug you."

Xuanxuan cheerfully responded, immediately putting the Peppa Pig toy aside, wiggling her little bottom, crawling over, and snuggling softly in her dad’s arms.

She pressed her little face tightly against his chest.

Ah!

Huang Tao closed his arms, gently hugging the little one in his embrace, feeling as though he was holding the happiness of the whole world.

Incredibly satisfied.

Xuanxuan gradually fell asleep in her dad’s warm embrace.

Seeing this, Huang Tao let her sleep on her little pillow, lovingly brushed aside her hair, gave her a gentle kiss, and whispered: "Good night, my baby."

He reached out to turn off the lamp, and his tired face also showed sleepiness.

Before long, he drifted off to sleep.

But his phone kept buzzing...
