Qiao Xi affectionately went over and invited him over, and earnestly said to him, "You haven't eaten yet, how can you be full?"

"I've already had dinner." Du Xinyu resisted being pulled into the kitchen by Qiao Xi, who picked up a pancake and handed it to him. "It's almost ten o'clock, it's time for a midnight snack."

Du Xinyu, feeling utterly hopeless, pitifully begged her, "Sister-in-law, please let me go."

"This is the last time," Qiao Xi assured him.

Du Xinyu remained resistant, saying, "Why don't you try it yourself and see?"

Qiao Xi disagreed, saying, "Of course it tastes better if I make it myself."

Du Xinyu knew he couldn't escape it today, so he resigned himself to taking a big bite, and it turned out to be surprisingly delicious!

Before Qiao Xi could ask him how it tasted, he ate the whole pancake in a few bites.

Seeing this, the outcome is obvious without even asking.

After finishing one, Du Xinyu unceremoniously picked up a second one and ate it in a few bites.

Just as he picked up the third one, Qiao Xi couldn't help but tease him, "Weren't you full?"

"I was too hungry," Du Xinyu said matter-of-factly.

Qiao Xi kindly reminded him, "It's not good to eat too much before bed."

"It's okay, I'm young and my digestion is good, and I'm not planning to sleep yet," Du Xinyu said, his mouth full of food.

Just then, the doorbell rang, but Qiao Xi and Du Xinyu in the kitchen didn't hear it. It was Aunt Liu who went to open the door.

Aunt Liu stayed in the living room the whole time, without resting or disturbing them.

Upon seeing the person outside the door, she immediately bowed respectfully to him, "Young Master, you're back."

The aroma wafted towards him as soon as he entered, and Qi Jincheng subconsciously asked, "What's that smell?"

Aunt Liu said with a smile, "Madam is making flower cakes, don't they smell delicious?"

Qi Jincheng followed the aroma to the kitchen and immediately spotted Du Xinyu, who had food all over his face.

"Hurry up and bring it out for me," Qiao Xi ordered him.

Du Xinyu reluctantly approached the oven and tried to pick it up with his bare hands, saying, "It's very hot."

Qiao Xi gestured to him with her eyes, "The gloves aren't placed there."

"Where is it?" Du Xinyu searched for a while.

"There." Qiao Xi was practically ready to grab his big, dark eyes and shove them into his gloves.

Freshly baked, the aroma is even more intense.

Du Xinyu couldn't help but let out a burp, but he still wanted to try another one.

He felt he had never eaten such delicious pastries in his life, and thought that the pastries in those high-end pastry shops were miles inferior to this.

Just as he was about to reach out, he was suddenly interrupted.

Being interrupted at this time is absolutely intolerable. Du Xinyu turned around and was about to curse, but when he saw that it was Qi Jincheng, he immediately shut up.

"Honey, you're back!" Qiao Xi happily took off her disposable gloves and gave Qi Jin a big hug right in front of Du Xinyu, without any hesitation.

She missed him terribly after not seeing him for a day.

The moment Qi Jincheng saw Qiao Xi, all his fatigue from the day vanished. He affectionately touched her cheek and gently asked, "Xi'er, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good!"

Before Qiao Xi could speak, Du Xinyu said impatiently, "Brother, you have to try it, it's so delicious."

Qiao Xi rolled her eyes at him, then personally handed a pancake to Qi Jincheng, saying, "Honey, have a taste."

Qi Jincheng took a bite without hesitation. The taste was very different from what he had imagined. He thought...

After all, he had a deep understanding of Qiao Xi's cooking skills, but he didn't expect that the taste of this flower cake was almost as good as that of a pastry chef in a five-star hotel.

Seeing that he didn't give any feedback after swallowing, Qiao Xi hurriedly asked, "Was it good?"

"Yes." Qi Jincheng gave her an affirmative answer.

"Right? I told you it was delicious!" Du Xinyu chimed in smugly, as if he were the one who made it.

However, Qiao Xi was initially impressed by his appetite; he had eaten so many.

Qiao Xi stopped being polite and put away the freshly baked plate, saying, "You ate it all. What am I going to take to sweep the grave tomorrow?"

Watching her put away the plate, Du Xinyu withdrew his hand, which had been hanging in mid-air, looking frustrated. His eyes darted towards the plate that had just been baked. Although it didn't taste as good as the freshly baked one, it was still passable.

Upon hearing that she was going to sweep the tombs, Qi Jincheng immediately asked, "Xi'er, are you going to sweep the tombs tomorrow?"

"Okay." Qiao Xi nodded and said, "I haven't visited my mom in a long time. I'd like to visit her tomorrow, since I don't have class in the morning."

"I'll go with you." Qi Jincheng offered to accompany her to sweep the tombs without hesitation.

Since becoming Qiao Xi's husband, he has never visited his mother-in-law.

Qiao Xi was originally willing to accept, but at the crucial moment, Du Xinyu intervened again, "Brother, you're so busy, let me go with your wife."

"Go to sleep." Qi Jincheng gave him a dangerous look with a cold face.

Du Xinyu meant well this time, but he was mercilessly whipped. He muttered under his breath, dissatisfied, "I was just worried that you were too busy with your company to have time for work."

Qiao Xi also heard what he said, and thought that she couldn't delay him from working on the company. As for tomb sweeping, they could go together next time.

“Honey, if you’re busy tomorrow, I think we can give our little cousin a chance to shine.” Qiao Xi sided with Du Xinyu.

Qi Jincheng does have an important meeting tomorrow morning, which he was just planning to postpone to the afternoon. But since he has Xi'er's support, he can give Du Xinyu a chance. "I'll go to the company for a meeting tomorrow morning, and then I'll pick you up."

"Okay." Qiao Xi nodded happily.

Du Xinyu solemnly assured him, as if receiving approval, "Brother, don't worry, with me here, sister-in-law will definitely..."

"If she loses a single hair, I'll hold you responsible." Qi Jincheng directly gave him the task, or more accurately, a warning.

Thinking about Du Xinyu's previous attitude towards Xi'er, Qi Jincheng was not at ease entrusting Xi'er's safety to him, even though things seemed somewhat different now.

However, Qi Jincheng didn't really entrust him with the heavy responsibility of protecting Xi'er. He simply wanted Xi'er to have more fun by staying by her side.

Du Xinyu asked Qiao Xi tentatively, a little worried, "Sister-in-law, do you usually lose hair?"

Qiao Xi immediately realized what he meant by his question, "Your hair loss seems to be quite severe lately."

Du Xinyu quickly gestured to Qi Jincheng, "Brother, that's not my fault."

Qi Jincheng ignored him, pulled Qiao Xi into his arms, and asked, "Xi'er, do you need my help?"
