Why?
Didn't we agree on that?
"Dad doesn't know either, it's probably something very important."
Gu Tingxiao had become quite skilled at coaxing children, remaining calm and collected, which changed Helian Min's opinion of him.
He originally thought that someone like Gu Tingxiao would only be interested in giving advice on state affairs, but he didn't expect that he was also quite skilled at coaxing children.
The little dragon didn't realize he'd been tricked by his dad and believed it to be true.
"Dad has been staying home with you these past few days, hasn't he?"
When will An'an's dragon horns disappear, and when will the alarm be considered off?
Gu Tingxiao has already contacted Assistant Zhou, and all the latest work will be sent here. He won't be going to the company anymore.
It's also a way for him to give himself a break.
"Really?"
In my memory, my father was a very busy person. My great-grandmother said that this was why he had never gotten married.
For some reason, Xiao An's big eyes darted around and said, "Is Daddy going to find a wife? Great-Grandma said she'll let you find a wife when you have time."
Thankfully, they're not drinking water right now.
Otherwise, it would definitely spray out.
Children always say surprising things. Who would have thought that Xiao Anman would actually remember all the trivial things that Old Lady Gu had been rambling about?
"No, Dad is just staying home with you."
Gu Tingxiao wasn't afraid of women; he just found them too troublesome.
Getting married is troublesome, starting a family is troublesome. Before, without Xiao Anman, he felt that he was fine on his own, but now he feels that having Xiao Anman is enough.
That's not how it works.
An'an still remembers the worry on her great-grandmother's elegantly wrinkled face when she talked about this.
This was the first time Helian Min had ever heard of such private matters concerning Gu Tingxiao.
I have to say... this version of Gu Tingxiao... makes you want to feel sorry for him.
Although this sympathy may sound a little insincere.
To dispel the strange ideas in Xiao Anman's little head, Gu Tingxiao spent the afternoon playing with her.
Helian Min was a quiet person, so he took on the task of telling stories at night, making his job a little easier than Gu Tingxiao's.
While Gu Tingxiao played games with the energetic Xiao Anman, he was responsible for holding a book and watching from the side, occasionally taking out some candy to feed her.
Because he wasn't sure if An'an wasn't full, Gu Tingxiao relaxed her meal requirements a bit, and even got some candy and snacks from Helian Min to feed An'an.
It seems that today, the dragon cubs, thanks to everyone's leniency, ate a lot.
Because she was having so much fun, Xiao Anman forgot all about things like her brother Chen Sui and her father's wife.
And indeed, Gu Tingxiao did stay home with him for several nights in a row, just as he said.
Every morning, I also personally make them a loving breakfast.
However, the breakfasts of the three of them are slightly different.
For example, if Gu Tingxiao were to cook an egg, An'an would have a perfectly fried sunny-side-up egg on her plate, with no burnt taste at all. It was a perfect score in both color and shape.
However, Helian Min's plate either had no fried egg or contained burnt 'disfigured fried eggs'.
The kind where the difference is immediately apparent.
At first, An'an didn't think anything of it, but then she tasted a little of the fried egg on Helian Min's plate.
"Wow, brother, why is your fried egg so bitter?"
With her sensitive palate and delicate tongue, Xiao Anman immediately noticed that the fried egg was a little overcooked.
Little did she know that this was a "love-filled fried egg" that her "old father" Gu Tingxiao had given to Helian Min.
She thought the fried eggs on Helian Min's plate were spoiled.
Under Gu Tingxiao's warning gaze, Helian Min slowly finished the fried egg on her plate and said to Xiao Anman in a nonchalant tone, "Because An'an is still young, she finds it bitter, but her brother thinks it's not bad."
The old saying "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head" still holds some truth. For example, the young master of the prestigious He family is now lying to a three-year-old child, saying he'd like to eat burnt fried eggs.
You're obligated to accept someone's food, even if it's not a very good meal.
Gu Tingxiao was dressed in casual clothes, and his usually meticulously combed hair was loose. Standing next to Helian Min, he looked like a brother. His sharp temperament, which he usually had at the company, was much more subdued.
He was very satisfied with Helian Min's understanding, which made his investment in the newly built laboratory in Ancheng worthwhile.
“Your brother Helian likes to eat fried eggs that are a little overcooked.”
Because Gu Tingxiao himself is a person who is meticulous about food, his tongue is much more sensitive than Xiao Anman's, as is his sense of smell. Even if the food is only a few seconds off from being cooked, or the heat is just temporarily off, the resulting food will be completely different.
Gu Tingxiao and Xiao Anman could tell that Helian Min, who had tasted hundreds of medicinal herbs since childhood and used medicine to enhance her senses in order to maintain her sharpness, was more sensitive than the two of them.
However, adhering to her self-restraint and the belief that "one has to bow one's head when under someone's roof," Helian Min ate the burnt fried egg.
Well, so these three people, each with an incredibly sharp tongue, were essentially experimenting on this perfect fried egg, except for Xiao Anman who ate the perfectly fried egg in his own bowl.
Because the Gu family was very large, and there was no one else in the house besides the three of them at this time, Xiao Anman was completely liberated.
Moreover, since Gu Tingxiao felt that he was at home with her and there shouldn't be any danger, he agreed to let Xiao Anman have complete freedom and play as she pleased.
However, he completely underestimated the curiosity of cubs towards the unknown—whether human or dragon cubs, they are all the same and cannot be taken lightly.
During the sunny afternoon nap, Gu Tingxiao and Helian Min, who set a good example, were already asleep.
These two people perfectly demonstrate that playing with children is also physically demanding, which is why they can always get into a nap state very quickly.
But children seem to never understand why there is such a thing as a nap, because they never feel sleepy.
After her father and brother had put her in the middle of the bed, little Anman's curled eyelashes trembled slightly and then she opened her eyes.
She wasn't sleepy at all, not at all.
But looking at her dad sleeping soundly in his shirt next to her, and then at her brother in a white hoodie on the recliner next to them, they seemed to really need sleep.
The scales around the dragon's horns still made her feel a little itchy from time to time.
