Yuzuru was very surprised, genuinely surprised.

He truly hadn't expected that Mrs. Yoshida, who usually appeared gentle and tender, would have such a passionate and proactive side.

Moreover, why did that gesture and that delicate tone feel so familiar to him?

It seems like I saw it in a scene not long ago...

Yuzuru stared intently at the smiling Mrs. Yoshida, paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, what would you like to learn, Madam?"

"Can I learn all of them?" Mrs. Yoshida's lips parted slightly.

"That's a bit greedy, isn't it?"

Yu Sheng Nan slowly put down the kitchen knife in his hand, turned around, and smiled. His eyes were fixed on Mrs. Yoshida, who was clearly very shy, her fingers tightly gripping the edge of her apron, but she still mustered up the courage to try to show him her charm.

You should know that he is a man of principle.

"No, is it not allowed..." Upon hearing Yuzuru's words, Mrs. Yoshida deflated like a punctured balloon, her whole body appearing listless, her eyes suddenly darkening, and the fingers that were tightly gripping her apron quietly slipping away.

"Still not working..." Mrs. Yoshida sighed inwardly.

Yes, how could such an outstanding and handsome young man like him not have beautiful girls around him? And how could he possibly be interested in a woman like me who has a child?

My bold actions and ideas just now must have seemed utterly ridiculous to him...

In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Mrs. Yoshida's mind. Her delicate face gradually lost its color and became increasingly pale, as if she had lost all vitality.

"hug……"

Just as she had mustered the courage to apologize, the figure in front of the kitchen counter suddenly took a step back.

"Although Madam is greedy, I like her very much."

Seeing the stunned young woman, Yu Shengnan smiled slightly and gestured for her to enter.

Sometimes, principles don't seem to be that important.

Mrs. Yoshida paused slightly, her eyes regaining their light, her pale face quickly regaining its color, and her voice trembling slightly: "Really?"

As she spoke, as if afraid that Yuzuru Nan would change his mind, she quickly walked in front of him and turned her petite back to the young man.

Yuzuru lifted the high ponytail that brushed against his nose, inhaled the fresh scent of shower gel lingering on it, and nodded, saying, "Of course it's true, as long as Madam is willing to learn. But Madam..."

He paused briefly before continuing, "Madam, are you sure you've thought this through? I'm destined not to have much time to spend with you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yoshida's delicate body trembled slightly. After a moment of silence, she said firmly, "I've made up my mind, Mr. Yuzuru. As long as Ayumi can grow up happily, that's enough for me."

"well……"

Yu Shengnan sighed softly.

He knew in his heart that the gentle young woman in front of him did not like him. She was just a single mother who desperately wanted to give her daughter a better living environment when she was facing the heavy pressure of life alone.

His appearance and the help he had given her were like a drowning person grasping at a straw; she was unwilling to let go no matter what.

"Don't worry, Madam, I like Ayumi very much too. I will stay with you and take care of her so she can grow up happily."

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.

He is a kind-hearted person and can't bear to see beautiful women sad.

Feeling the warmth on her back, Mrs. Yoshida finally breathed a sigh of relief, having been holding her breath in fear of rejection.

She leaned back gently, murmuring, "Thank you..."

"We're family, so no need to thank me anymore~"

Yuzuru's tone was exceptionally gentle, like a spring breeze that softly caressed Mrs. Yoshida's heart.

"Okay, I understand..."

With everything settled, Mrs. Yoshida, who had been quite bold just moments before, suddenly became shy.

Yuzuru rested his chin on Mrs. Yoshida's bare, fair shoulder and said with a hint of teasing, "Does Madam still want to continue learning to cook?"

"Yes." Mrs. Yoshida lowered her eyes, bit her lower lip, and nodded gently, looking like a shy little girl, which was very endearing.

"Hmm, let me think about what dishes I should teach you..." Yuzuru's gaze wandered around the kitchen, finally settling on Mrs. Yoshida's light pink nightgown.

"Madam has lost some weight."

"Huh?" Mrs. Yoshida looked blank, not understanding how this could have anything to do with cooking.

From his vantage point, Yuzuru Nanagi gazed down, freely enjoying the hazy, indistinct beauty of the scene.

Indeed, most women do not like to dress neatly and conservatively when they are at home.

Do you have any papayas at home?

The topic changed so quickly that Mrs. Yoshida instinctively replied, "Yes, yes, it's in the refrigerator."

“Very good, let me teach you how to make a papaya soup.”

Yuzuru smiled with satisfaction and explained to the still dazed Mrs. Yoshida, "Papaya soup is nourishing and helps to enhance breast size. Madam, you are still a bit too thin. Ayumi must have been starved when she was little, right?"

"No, that's not true." Mrs. Yoshida finally realized what was happening, her face turning bright red. She hurriedly tried to defend herself, "Ayumi prefers formula..."

"Oh, really?"

With a smile on his lips, Yu Sheng Nan made no further attempt to hide it. With a thought, the refrigerator behind him opened automatically, and two papayas flew out.

He released his hands, picked up the kitchen knife, and said, "Madam, watch carefully and learn well. You should make this at home more often in the future. This papaya soup is not only delicious but also nutritious and very good for your health."

Mrs. Yoshida blinked, her eyes fixed on the boy busy in the kitchen. The serious expression on his face filled her bright eyes with curiosity and anticipation.

It seems she made a remarkable choice...
