Xu Yanxiao was startled and reflexively looked towards the kitchen door.

Gu Yiye stood at the door holding her slippers and looked at her.

She wasn't afraid of him being like this, just a little embarrassed about being caught.

She didn't wear slippers to avoid making any noise.

She was really convinced. Even though she was so careful, the man still found out.

In the past, he could always find out what she was eating secretly in the middle of the night. Xu Yanxiao felt that there was something fishy going on.

While she was daydreaming, the man had already arrived in front of her and squatted at her feet.

He gently picked up her feet and put them into soft slippers.

Xu Yanxiao curled her toes comfortably, but the spring night was still cold.

The man stood up and she only reached his chest.

But she didn't feel any pressure.

She didn't look at him, just lowered her head.

Her head was touched, and then he took away her yogurt and apple.

"Next time, Huanhuan, remember to wear slippers." He put them aside and took out some ingredients from the refrigerator. "The yogurt and fruit are too cold when they are just taken out. You can't eat them at night."

The man turned around and looked at her, his expression calm, without his usual gentle indulgence, "Remember this? Huanhuan."

He brought a bit of intimidation, and Xu Yanxiao nodded unconsciously.

Gu Yiye looked at her and smiled gently again, as if he was not the one who was cold just now.

Xu Yanxiao came back to his senses, and couldn't hold back his temper anymore, "I just want to drink yogurt."

"Okay." He took the hot water and put the yogurt in. "Wait a moment, okay?"

Xu Yanxiao stopped talking.

The man asked her as he tied his apron, "What do you want to eat?"

"Dumplings." She admitted that she wanted to make things difficult for him.

For her, Gu Yiye always required completely healthy and fresh ingredients, so he had to chop the stuffing and roll out the dough, which was very troublesome.

"Huanhuan, it's too late now. You can't wait that long while hungry. How about eating something else?"

"casual."

The man smiled helplessly and took out a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips and gave it to her. "Okay, can you wait for me outside?"

Xu Yanxiao took the potato chips, left the kitchen, and went to the restaurant to sit and wait.

She thought there were no snacks, but it turned out they were placed somewhere else.

Gu Yiye knew all of Huanhuan's preferences, so how could he not prepare snacks?

Xu Yanxiao sat in the restaurant eating potato chips and daydreaming.

After a while, the man came out with the noodles. He put the noodles in front of her and the yogurt next to the bowl. He stayed by her side to guard her.

Even chopsticks and spoons were prepared for her, as if he couldn't wait to feed her.

It seemed like something was still being cooked in the kitchen, but she didn't care. She was already very hungry and didn't want to be angry with Gu Yiye anymore.

Lower your head and concentrate on eating noodles.

Gu Yiye has very good skills, which he probably acquired while living alone abroad.

She finished eating in a short while and drank the yogurt in one gulp.

"Huanhuan, do you want to eat more?"

Xu Yanxiao shook his head, "No."

She put down her chopsticks and was about to wipe her mouth with paper, but the man got there first.

Xu Yanxiao had no choice but to pick up the remaining potato chips and continue eating.

Gu Yiye didn't stop her and let her eat the potato chips. He got up and went to the kitchen to turn off the fire.

When Xu Yanxiao finished eating the potato chips and was wiping his hands, the man took out two peeled eggs.

Xu Yanxiao looked at him in confusion. What? Did he want to give her more food?

The man sat next to her, "Huanhuan, let's rub our eyes."

Xu Yanxiao stood up and ran out, "I don't need it."

The man caught up with her in a few steps and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

His hands were clasped around her waist, neither making her feel uncomfortable nor letting her break free easily.

"Okay, okay, I won't run away." Xu Yanxiao couldn't stand this posture.

Gu Yiye let her go, held her on his lap and let her sit on him. He held a white egg in each hand and gently rubbed the girl's eyes.

The girl closed her eyes and leaned obediently on his chest.

Her breathing was long and soft, she must be asleep.

He continued to rub the girl's eyes.

Gu Yiye grew up alone abroad. He couldn't understand the girl's emotions, but that didn't stop him from comforting her.

It doesn't matter, he will always be with her and she will always forget these irrelevant things.

The eggs gradually cooled down, so he took the eggs away, picked up the girl and went upstairs.

In the morning, the familiar cell phone alarm rang, and Xu Yanxiao took his hand out from under the quilt to turn it off.

She turned over and continued to sleep. It didn't matter whether she went to school or not, so she might as well sleep in.

Around ten o'clock, the girl finally woke up.

She got up, washed up in the bathroom, changed her clothes and went downstairs.

Gu Yiye was explaining something to his subordinates at the desk next to the living room.

It seems that this year he shifted the focus of his overseas career to domestic.

He saw her through the glass door and smiled at her.

Xu Yanxiao ignored him and went straight to the kitchen.

She now knows where the snacks are.

She opened her locker and the middle-aged woman who had brought her milk yesterday appeared again.

"Ma'am, eating too many snacks is not good."

"But I'm hungry."

"Here are some freshly made cakes." The middle-aged woman pointed to where several different cakes were placed and said, "These are all prepared for Madam today."

Xu Yanxiao had no choice but to close the cabinet door, picked out a strawberry cake and went out.

She brought it to the restaurant and scooped a piece with a spoon. The cake base was still slightly warm.

Gu Yiye came out with his subordinates.

He didn't turn around, but just turned his head slightly to signal his subordinates, "Go and get ready."

The subordinate bowed and said, "Yes."

The subordinate left, but the man slowly walked towards her.

He sat down opposite her, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Xu Yan smiled and nodded.

Gu Yiye smiled and asked, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Xu Yanxiao shook his head.

She ate half of the cake and didn't want to eat it anymore, so she put down the spoon.

"Not to your liking?"

She looked up at the man, who was wearing home clothes and looked very casual. "No, I have to eat soon."

"Good, Huanhuan is so good." The man praised her.

As long as she was a little bit well behaved, he wanted to praise her.

Of course, it’s okay if she’s not well behaved. It’s normal for little girls to have a temper.

A servant came up to take away the knives and forks. Xu Yanxiao felt a little bored, so he took out his cell phone to play.

Gu Yiye did nothing but looked at the girl quietly.

She was wearing pink home clothes and looked very sweet and tender.

He moved his Adam's apple, "Huanhuan, I'll accompany you to the mall this afternoon to buy some things you like, okay?"

The girl stopped scrolling through her phone and looked at him with clear eyes, hint of impatience in them.

"I have to go to school."

"Okay, then shall we go on the weekend?" He continued to ask in a good-tempered manner.

The girl simply ignored him. He called her a few more times, but the girl still looked immersed in her phone and pretended not to hear him.

Gu Yiye was helpless.

The two of them sat like this for a while, and at Gu Yiye's instruction, they started eating early.

They are all Xu Yanxiao’s favorites.

She ate more and felt much better.

After wiping her mouth, she stood up and said habitually, "I'm done eating."

After saying that, she frowned slightly. What could she tell him? Really, she turned and went upstairs.

She did not return to her room but went to the studio, which was still almost the same as her studio at Xu's house.
