When Tang Nianyao returned to the clinic, Su Ruoxue had just finished her call.
“Nianyao, did you catch that person you were chasing?”
Tang Nianyao was taken back.
“How do you know I was chasing someone?”
“Oh, Grandpa Tang told me. Hurry up and tell me, how did it go?”
Tang Nianyao pursed her lips and smiled.
“Guess?”
Su Ruoxue reached out and pinched the flesh on her hips.
“You’re teasing me?”
“Ah——! I surrender!”
Tang Nianyao hurriedly raised her hands in surrender.
“I told him he was invited to the banquet at the Tang manor! He said he’ll go!”
“That’s incredible!”
Su Ruoxue sighed in relief.
As long as she could find him, she would have the chance to obtain a high-quality cosmetics formula. When that time comes, the company’s urgent needs will be solved.
Tang Nianyao couldn’t help but shake her head.
“Ruoxue, you’re already twenty-six, and you still haven’t found a marriage partner. Why do you work yourself to death at your company? Even if you do make money, you’ll belong to someone else eventually!”
Su Ruoxue rolled her eyes.
“I’m not going to be lectured by you! You’re the princess of the Tang family. Even if you do get married, nobody would bully you! If I don’t have a good foundation, who knows what kind of suffering I’ll be subject to!”
Tang Nianyao shrugged.
“Whatever. Want to stay for lunch?”
“Can’t, I’ve got a meeting. Another time!”
“Oh, okay~!”
Tang Nianyao responded in a peculiar way. Su Ruoxue blushed and glared at her before trotting out of the medical hall.
She wasn’t planning to meet anyone. Only, she was overjoyed to receive such great news and inexplicably wanted to share this happiness with a specific person.
When the Ferrari was pulling into the driveway, Xiao Chen and his daughter were carrying some groceries to the door.
“Done with work?”
Xiao Chen greeted her. Su Ruoxue nodded and approached him with open arms.
“Little Ziyi, let Auntie hold you!”
Xiao Ziyi spread her arms and trotted into Su Ruoxue’s arms.
“Did you miss me?”
“Mhmm!”
Xiao Ziyi nodded and planted a kiss on Su Ruoxue’s cheek.
“Good girl!”
Su Ruoxue kissed Xiao Ziyi back, causing Ziyi to giggle with laughter. Xiao Ziyi then grasped Su Ruoxue’s face in her hands and happily chided:
“Father! Kissy!”
Su Ruoxue’s face flushed red as Xiao Chen awkwardly stroked his nose bridge.
“Ziyi, stop goofing around! Daddy and Auntie Ruoxue don’t have that kind of relationship.”
Xiao Ziyi cocked her head, curious.
“Why not?”
“Uhm… Because Daddy is a boy, and Auntie Ruoxue is a woman, so boys can’t casually kiss girls!”
“Daddy lie! Ziyi saw, streets, boy kissed girl!”
His daughter’s chirpy questions made Xiao Chen break a sweat.
This kid was bright. Before, nobody taught her how to speak. Now that someone was teaching her, she couldn’t be fooled!
“Hey, hey. Daddy can only kiss mommy and can’t kiss Auntie! Stop fooling around, or else you’re not eating lunch!”
“Oh no!”
Hearing the word food, Xiao Ziyi immediately went on her best behaviour. She was a certified food junkie. On the side, Xiao Chen and Su Ruoxue were entertained and laughed at her antics.
Xiao Chen then lifted the food in his hands.
“I bought some groceries. Want to join us for lunch?”
“You can cook?”
Su Ruoxue’s eyes lit up.
Xiao Chen nodded.
“I learned a little bit.”
“That would be great! Then I will be respectfully obedient and accept your offer!”
Su Ruoxue then picked up Xiao Ziyi and headed inside Xiao Chen’s house without another word.
Seeing her get along so well with Xiao Ziyi, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel a little warmth in his heart.
He entered the kitchen. From outside, Su Ruoxue shouted:
“Do you need my help?”
“Nope, just wait for the meal. It’ll be done soon!”
Su Ruoxue peeked inside the kitchen. Xiao Chen’s actions appeared to be practiced, without a hint of pretentiousness. Obviously, this was a man who cooked often.
She couldn’t help but remember Tang Nianyao’s words. If she could find a man like Xiao Chen to marry, that would be amazing.
A family man, gentle, and… handsome!
As she was deep in infatuation, Xiao Ziyi tapped on her thigh and asked with eyes wide open:
“Auntie, can you be my mommy?”
“Huh?”
Su Ruoxue’s heart rate increased. She furtively peeked at Xiao Chen in the kitchen again, only sighing in relief when she realized he hadn’t caught their conversation.
“Little Ziyi, we can’t talk nonsense. Auntie can only be your mommy if your Daddy likes Auntie. If your Daddy doesn’t like Auntie, then Auntie can’t be your mommy!”
Xiao Ziyi tilted her head, deep in thought. Then she spoke again:
“Does sleepy together mean he likes you?”
Su Ruoxue was speechless. How can this kid know so much?
“Where did you learn this?”
“Daddy likes Ziyi, so Daddy sleeps with Ziyi!”
Xiao Ziyi’s naivety made Suo Ruoxue wonder whether she should cry or laugh.
“That’s different! You’re your Daddy’s daughter, and you’re very young. It’s normal for your Daddy to hold you while you sleep. But it’s different with Auntie. When you grow up, you will understand!”
Her words confused Xiao Ziyi, but Su Ruoxue hadn’t thought of a way to explain this to Xiao Ziyi. At this moment, her phone next to the sofa began to ring.
“Hello! Xiao Wan, what’s wrong?”
“CEO Su, there’s an employee insurance contract here that needs your signature!”
“Okay, can you bring it here? I’m having lunch with my neighbors, you should know the spot.”
“Okay, I’ll be there in a bit!”
When they hung up, Su Ruoxue could smell a delightful fragrance wafting from the kitchen. Su Ruoxue and Xiao Ziyi couldn’t help but gulp.
“Auntie! Food time!”
“I see! Come, let’s go wash our hands.”
Su Ruoxue carried Xiao Ziyi to the washroom. After they were done, the table had been skillfully set with several delicious looking dishes, all in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Ziyi happily cheered, using both her hands and feet as she danced around.
Su Ruoxue also squinted her eyes.
“It’s hard to imagine that you have such culinary skills!”
Xiao Chen smiled lightly.
“Because of the child, the flavors are quite light, so I’m not sure if it suits your taste.”
Su Ruoxue carried Xiao Ziyi to the table and sniffed the food. She was in a trance.
“From the look and smell of it, I can already tell it’s delicious!”
Xiao Ziyi had even less self control. She was already drooling.
Su Ruoxue fed her a bite of food before eating herself. The two hungry bugs were completely smitten by the delicacy made by Xiao Chen.
Seeing his daughter eating happily, Xiao Chen’s expression became gentler. His eyebrows relaxed a bit, and his face lost a little fierceness.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Su Ruoxue put down her chopsticks and prepared to stand up.
“It should be my secretary! She has some forms for me.”
Xiao Chen pushed her back down with one arm.
“Eat first, I’ll get it for you.”
He put his hands in his pockets and unhurriedly approached the door.
But at this moment, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but feel surprised.
