Yu Ning didn't care at all and spoke with great confidence.

This introduction sounds like it has nothing to do with Chaochao, and in fact, it has nothing to do with it.

It is precisely because there is no entanglement between them that her unexpected encounter with Chaochao seems like a predestined fate, isn't it?

030: "...You're really shameless."

Huo Qin nodded in acknowledgment of her introduction, then strode towards the stairwell and said in a calm voice:

"Jiang Chi, come with me."

Jiang Chi, who was leaning against the bar watching the show, was suddenly called upon. He immediately put away the smile on his lips and first glanced down at his collar.

No problem, they uphold male virtues very well.

Five minutes later.

After finishing their business, Huo Qin pushed open the door and walked out of the study. Jiang Chi, who was following behind the man, still looked dazed, as if he had not yet recovered from the unimaginable shock.

Tap, tap, tap—

I heard you!!!

"Daddy and brother are here! Time to eat!"

The little dumpling had been standing by the dining table for who knows how long, gazing longingly at the table full of dishes, her mouth watering.

When those familiar footsteps sounded behind me, I sprang into action like a wound-up toy, darting onto my special chair in a flash. Grabbing my children's chopsticks, I declared with a flourish, "Alright! Let's dig in!"

Everyone had already taken their seats.

This includes Huo Qin and Jiang Chi.

Next, without a doubt, came Chaochao's persistent task of serving the food.

"Daddy, you can help yourself to whatever you like!"

Chaochao practically propped herself up on one side, squeezing herself up from left to right, from her side to the opposite side, and from her older brothers and sisters.

"This is for Brother Jingcheng, this is for Brother Yuci, and this is for Sister Yu Ning..."

Aunt Ning watched from a short distance away with loving eyes.

Don't let Miss Chaochao's short fingers fool you; she's never seen a three-year-old child use chopsticks so skillfully!

"..." Huo Qin looked down at his empty bowl, then at the little dumpling who was busily serving food to the others with chopsticks, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.

Is this what happens when you have older siblings and then forget about your father?

Although there were two seats between them, Yu Ning, who was still subconsciously paying attention to the "original villain," tensed up without showing any emotion when she sensed that dangerous and ominous aura.

Is it because the scene is too chaotic that it's finally about to explode?

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the man sitting in the main seat slightly lower his brows, and then—

With an indifferent expression, he picked up a piece of braised pork in front of him and began to eat it.

I also picked up a piece and put it into the bowl of the busy little dumpling.

Yu Ning: ...Hmm?

Before she could react, the little dumpling's soft, baby voice rang in her ear.

"Sister Yu Ning, your ribs are ready! They smell so delicious!"

Actually, it tastes even better!

The glistening, plump glutinous rice grains are distinct, and the pork ribs are tender with a perfect balance of lean and fat; the whole plate seems to radiate light.

A child who had already been tasting the food for her older sister in the kitchen swallowed hard as she thought of how delicious it was, and then happily placed the spare ribs into Yu Ning's bowl next to her.

"Ah... thank you..."

Yu Ning softly thanked him, then stared at the small ribs in a daze. She had only mentioned her preference an hour ago, and now she could have them.

Yu Ning bent her neck, lowered her head, and slowly took a bite.

It's not that we're "powerless," it's just that we're unwilling.

She thought.

After serving each of her older siblings their favorite dishes, Chaochao, having successfully completed her mission, finally stopped, her little bottom settling back into place on the chair.

I looked down and saw that the bowl was already piled high with food.

While she was serving food to Xie Jingcheng and Yu Ci, everyone else was also busy, putting food into one bowl at a time. As a result, the bowl in front of Chaochao was already piled high with food, and there wasn't enough room for it, so they opened up another porcelain plate to hold the deboned fish.

Chaochao blinked.

This is—

If I give someone vegetables, will there be more vegetables in the bowl?

"I want some too!"

Before the words were even finished, the impatient little dumpling had already opened its blood-red maw, like a bulldozer starting up with a roar, ready to swallow the slick, oily mountain peak whole—

Eat slowly.

Huo Qin held the bowl, not even looking up, and gave his instructions in a low voice.

Click—

The Chaochao brand bulldozer stopped abruptly as soon as it started. The obedient girl picked up a piece of meat and ate it with the fragrant rice, then buried her head in her mouth and shoveled it into her mouth.

In the blink of an eye, the bulldozer was downgraded to a hamster.

"So delicious!!"

My aunt's cooking is always delicious, no matter how you eat it!

The little dumpling's eyes were fixed on the rice at the table, while the others ate quietly, none of them having the habit of talking while eating.

Golden rays of sunlight streamed through the glass, stretching like brocade down to the soles of the feet.

In this luxurious villa, the tranquil and beautiful atmosphere made Yu Ning feel a sense of unreality.

She never imagined that the first time in both her lives she would personally experience a warm family atmosphere would be in the Huo family, her former "imaginary enemy".

"Sister, is it numb?"

"--Um?"

Upon hearing the sound, Yu Ning looked to her right at Chao Chao, whose soft, white cheeks puffed out like a little hamster's as she tilted her head and looked at her with concern.

Yu Ning then realized that she had actually sighed.

"Isn't it too hot?"

The little dumpling finished chewing her food, leaned close to Yu Ning's bowl, blew on the piece of pork rib, and then pushed it back to Yu Ning, saying, "I blew on it, it's not hot at all, sister, you can eat it without worry~"

They wanted it too.
