Chapter 487 Two Soft-Boiled Eggs
That night, the man held the little girl whom he loved dearly, and they slept in each other's arms on the big bed.
Perhaps it was Xi Jiu's breath that made Ruan Qi feel at ease. She did not have any nightmares in the second half of the night and slept soundly until dawn.
At around seven in the morning, Ruan Qi woke up naturally from his sleep.
She opened her eyes drowsily and subconsciously touched the bed beside her.
The bed was empty and the cold temperature seemed as if no one had ever slept there.
Ruan Qi opened his eyes in confusion.
Why did she remember that Jiujiu seemed to have come last night?
Am I dreaming?
Ruan Qi hesitantly sat up from the bed, his eyes swept across the bedroom, and finally stopped at the bedside table.
On the black bedside table, there was a glass of water, and underneath it was a piece of paper.
Ruan Qi's mind moved, and he reached out to take the note.
[There's something urgent going on at Eagle Headquarters, so I'm leaving now. I've already bought breakfast, so please heat it up when you wake up.]
The signature is a strong and powerful character "九".
Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly widened.
She took the note, threw back the quilt, jumped out of bed, and rushed out of the bedroom.
In the living room outside the bedroom, Mo Lan, He Ma Xixi and others were eating breakfast around the dining table.
"Where's Jiujiu?!" Ruan Qi ran over anxiously.
Xixi quickly swallowed the soy milk in his mouth and replied, "The master left around six in the morning. He said there was an urgent matter with the Eagle Tribe and he had to go take care of it."
The only remaining hope in Ruan Qi's heart was instantly shattered into ashes.
She lowered her eyes in disappointment and uttered an "oh" pitifully.
Mo Lan couldn't bear to see the little girl listless, so she stood up and went into the kitchen, bringing out a tray. "Master Xi bought you a lot of breakfast and even fried two soft-boiled eggs himself. Want to try some?"
Xi Jiu didn't know how to cook before. After he had a little girl, he started learning cooking from his family's chef, Chen.
However, because he was too busy with work and could not squeeze out much time, Xi Jiu's cooking skills improved a little slowly.
So far, he has been studying for more than a month and has only learned some simple dishes such as fried rice with egg, fried steak, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Xi Jiu is actually not very good at making dishes like soft-boiled eggs that require controlling the heat and time.
For example, the two soft-boiled eggs on the plate now have burnt edges and the soft-boiled eggs are not particularly well-made. They look really terrible.
But Ruan Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.
She ran to the dining table barefoot, staring at the two soft-boiled eggs with sparkling peach blossom eyes, "Did Jiujiu make this herself?!"
Mo Lan nodded.
A huge smile suddenly appeared on the little girl's face.
She pulled up a chair and sat down, ignoring all the exquisite delicacies, picked up the fork and went straight to the soft-boiled egg.
The slightly burnt soft-boiled egg was picked up by the golden fork. Ruan Qi took a bite and chewed it, his eyes narrowing instantly.
“Super delicious!”
The little girl ate with a look of bliss, enjoying herself as if she were enjoying some top-notch imperial meal. All the sadness she had felt over Xi Jiu's departure had vanished.
Seeing that she was in high spirits again, Mo Lan and the other two all breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Xiaoqi," Xixi put down the cup of soy milk and said to Ruan Qi, "Before the master left, he said that he's busy these few days and will take you out to play when he's done."
Ruan Qi nodded while eating a soft-boiled egg.
"Uncle Heehee, do you know what Jiujiu has been busy with recently?"
"I'm not sure." Xixi shook her head. "I just heard that the Eagle Department seems to be arresting people. I don't know the details. Xiaoqi, do you want to know? I can call and ask."
