Li Yuan was already sitting in the restaurant. When he saw his daughter come down, a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.
He waved to Ji Zhinan: "Baby, come and have breakfast with Daddy."
Ji Zhinan came downstairs: "Dad, good morning."
"Good morning." Ji Zhinan's words made Li Yuan's mood exceptionally good for the day.
"Sweetie, Daddy asked them to prepare both Chinese and Western food. Shall we have some steamed buns?"
Li Yuan treated Ji Zhinan like a two- or three-year-old child, taking meticulous care of him.
"Okay." Ji Zhinan took the bun that Li Yuan handed over and took a bite, which made Li Yuan even happier.
After taking two bites of the steamed bun, Ji Zhinan picked up a large spoon, and Shelley, who was serving him, immediately and cleverly took an empty bowl. Ji Zhinan ladled out a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Li Yuan.
"Dad, have some porridge."
"..." Seeing the bowl of steaming hot porridge in front of him, filled with his beloved daughter's love for him, Li Yuan's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
My daughter has grown up and knows how to care for her father.
He didn't even use a spoon; he just picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"It tastes good."
As expected of porridge served by his daughter, it was all sweet.
The father and daughter were having breakfast in the restaurant when Charlesson came in from outside: "Sir, Young Master Gu has arrived."
Upon hearing that Gu Yibei had arrived, Li Yuan's first thought was that he was here to take his daughter away from him.
That brat, he's trying to steal my daughter again!
Before the young father-in-law could even straighten his face and shoo people away, Gu Yibei's voice could already be heard in the restaurant.
"Dad, Nan Nan, good morning."
Just now, when he was talking to Ji Zhinan, the man was only wearing comfortable home clothes. Now he has transformed into a suit and tie, with all the shirt buttons fastened and the tie tied meticulously. He even took the time to do a simple hairstyling.
Li Yuan: "..." Dressed up so smartly so early in the morning, it's never a good thing.
Ji Zhinan's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yibei appear.
No wonder he neither agreed nor refused when I asked him to come over earlier; he was getting ready.
Gu Yibei, who doesn't work, rarely pays attention to his appearance, but now he's dressed in a suit and tie at home, which suggests he's trying to make a good impression on his young father-in-law.
She glanced at the impeccably dressed Gu Yibei, then at her own casual attire, and turned to catch a glimpse of her daughter's bright, sparkling eyes.
"..."
You brat, you've come here to provoke me, haven't you?
Gu Yibei straightened his tie and noticed his wife's gaze. He was in a good mood, but then he caught a glimpse of the death stare from his young father-in-law next to his wife, and the smile on Gu Yibei's face froze.
"..." What did he do to offend his young father-in-law?
After not receiving a reply to his "Good morning" greeting, Gu Yibei coughed and spoke again, "Good morning, Dad."
Li Yuan: "Hmph!"
After taking a sip of the porridge his daughter had served him, Li Yuan's mood improved slightly. He retorted bluntly, "I look like someone who could give birth to a son?"
Gu Yibei: "..." I've been humiliated again.
Honestly, Li Yuan doesn't look like someone who has a daughter, let alone a twenty-year-old one.
He has maintained his appearance remarkably well over the years; despite being over forty, there are no wrinkles on his face, as if time has overlooked him. Compared to twenty years ago, the only change in him is perhaps the shedding of youthful naiveté and the infusion of maturity and composure.
If he walked out like that, without anyone reminding him, everyone would probably think he was only thirty years old at most, but a very successful and outstanding man.
