When Xiao Moran finished dressing and was about to go out, Su Xiaonuan stopped him and took out some ointment to apply to his face.

"Honey, now you know how to care for your husband?" Xiao Moran's lips curled up, revealing a happy smile.

"If you say that again, I won't apply it for you!" Su Xiaonuan pretended to be angry and raised the medicine bottle as if to throw it on the ground.

"No!" He slapped himself in the face. "Quick, this area needs medicine too."

"Do you have masochistic tendencies?"

"If you say something wrong, you should slap yourself."

She applied the medicine evenly to his face and then gently massaged it with her fingers.

The morning light shone on her head, giving it a soft glow.

It's like the halo that only angels have.

In that instant, his heart clenched violently, and he stared at her intently, unable to look away.

If it weren't for the stinging pain on his face, he would have really thought the woman in front of him was an angel.

The medication had a very strong effect, and the stinging sensation in my cheeks intensified.

He shook his head, quickly dismissing the idea that she was an angel.

The stinging pain on my face was all caused by her, the culprit.

Angels only save others, so why would they give someone a sweet treat after hitting them?

She's not an angel, she's more like a mischievous little devil.

Yes, she's such a troublesome little devil!

She's still a seductive little vixen!

Otherwise, how could he be so unprincipled, thinking it was a good thing and a wonderful thing to be hit by her?

Only a demon could possess such power.

Seeing him deep in thought, knowing he was daydreaming again, she raised her hand to slap his face, but held back and didn't. Finally, she clenched her fist and punched his chest. "Alright, let's go out for breakfast. This medicine works very well. It was given to us by Aunt Hua. The marks will disappear in less than a week, at most two days."

"Two more days?" he exclaimed. "How am I supposed to face anyone these next two days?"

"This is the price you pay for your ill intentions," Su Xiaonuan said, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws at him. "See if you dare to do it again next time!"

Xiao Moran fled, thinking to himself, "The child's mother is really a formidable tigress."

The family was having breakfast when there was a knock on the door.

Along with the knocking, there were shouts from Xiaotian and Xiaoli.

"Godmother, DouDou, GuoGuo, open the door!"

"It's Xiaotian and Xiaoli!" The two children shook their heads excitedly.

Ye Mei was closest to the door, so she got up and opened it. "Why are you all here?"

Aunt Chen said apologetically, “I’m so sorry to bother you so early. The children were clamoring to come over last night, and I had to coax them to sleep for a long time. As soon as they opened their eyes, they wanted to come to your house, saying that they hadn’t seen their godmother in a long time and wanted to come and see her as soon as possible. I told them not to come later, because I was afraid that their godmother would be out again. I really couldn’t do anything about their nagging.”

"Let's have breakfast together!" Ye Mei quickly went into the kitchen. Luckily, she had made extra pancakes, intending to take them on the road as provisions.

Upon hearing this, Xiaotian and Xiaoli couldn't wait to sit down at the table and started eating the pancakes without any hesitation.

Although they were often beaten, their family never lacked food or clothing. After all, they were the children of a big boss. Yet, they ate like wolves, as if they hadn't eaten for days, and almost choked on their food.

Hearing them cough, Ye Mei quickly poured the children a cup of hot soy milk. "Eat slowly, there are still plenty of pancakes left."

After saying that, he went straight into the kitchen and brought out all the pancakes.

"Sister Ye, I'm so sorry to have made you laugh!" Aunt Chen said with a smile. "They eat my cooking every day, they're probably tired of it. Your cooking is so delicious, that's why they're acting like this."

“Kids are all like that,” Ye Mei said. “Don’t just think about the two of them, eat something too. We’re going to the zoo later, and if you don’t eat your fill, you won’t have the energy to walk around with them.”

"Yay, godmother is taking us to the zoo!" Xiao Tian and Xiao Li have already learned Dou Dou and Guo Guo's gestures.

“Then I have to go back and bring some essentials for the children to take out,” Aunt Chen said. “The zoo is in the suburbs, and we’ll probably be out for a whole day, so we need to bring water bottles, straw hats, and towels.”

Seeing that Aunt Chen was in a hurry to leave, Ye Mei wrapped a few pancakes in clean vegetable leaves and stuffed them into her hand. "Then you can eat them as you walk."

"Thanks!"

"Mom, your pancakes are so delicious!" Su Xiaonuan ate five pancakes in one go. "It's good that you made so many."

"I was planning to bring some with me in my bag as snacks," Ye Mei said. "Then you'll have to eat out for lunch today."

"Mom, I told you last night that when you go out to play, don't be stingy with money. Eat and drink as much as you want, so you can have a great time." She tilted her head back and drank a bowl of soy milk down to the last drop.

"Xiao Nuan, is everything arranged at your shop?" Su Ming asked worriedly. "Is it appropriate to let an outsider do this money-collecting work?"

"Everything is arranged. Three new members joined the store today. Don't worry about the money collection. There are two copies of each order. The kitchen cooks according to the order, and the orders are put into the box after the food is cooked. When reconciling accounts, just match the kitchen order with the money collection order."

Xiao Moran had finished eating. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll make a phone call first, then come back to take you to the zoo, then come back to work, and I'll pick you up again this afternoon."

"Won't this affect your work?" Su Ming knew that working for a private boss wasn't as free as working for someone in the system, where you could have weekends off. Working for a private boss meant no days off and you had to be available at any time.

"It's alright. My job is quite flexible; I'm often out doing business." Xiao Moran, afraid his father-in-law would ask too many questions, quickly slipped away. "You guys get ready; I'll wait for you in the car downstairs."

"Mo Ran is so thoughtful and considerate." Ye Mei is finding her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye. "Xiao Nuan, this is your good fortune; you should cherish Mo Ran."

Listening to his mother-in-law's words, Xiao Moran felt like he was floating on air.

Despite his somewhat disfigured face, he walked out with his head held high.

"Mom, stop praising him. Look at his attitude. He walks around like he doesn't recognize anyone. He didn't even look up while eating breakfast, as if he was afraid someone would see the injury on his face. He's acting like a complete idiot." Su Xiaonuan said loudly, looking at Xiao Moran's back. She wanted to make sure he heard her.

Xiao Moran chuckled inwardly. "You little rascal, Su Xiaonuan, you're jealous of my mom now, aren't you? Just you wait and see, it won't be long before you accept me too."

After Su Ming estimated that Moran had walked away, he began to scold his daughter. "Xiao Nuan, you have to give Moran some face. Look at how you beat his face. How can he face people in public now? You should learn from your mother. She never makes me lose face. If she wants to hit or pinch me, it's only in places that can be covered by clothes."

"You old hag, talking bad about me again!" Ye Mei scolded, sticking her head out of the kitchen. "Haven't I disciplined you in a while, so you've gotten bolder and bolder, haven't you?"

"Mei, how could I dare say anything bad about you? I'm only saying good things about you." Su Ming snapped his fingers at Ye Mei. "Even if you gave me a few times the courage, I wouldn't dare say anything bad about you. Later, you should teach Xiao Nuan your special skills."
