Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

"Xiao Fei is so good, it’s heart-wrenching how good she is." Ye Xiaomo looked up with his little face, "So, don’t listen to what Wang Zishuai’s mother says and misunderstand Xiao Fei."

Zhao Gushen felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and after a long pause, he said hoarsely, "Okay."

Ye Fei didn’t know about the conversation Zhao Gushen had with Ye Xiaomo in the living room.

She was busy preparing dinner.

After all, it was to express her gratitude to Zhao Gushen.

Whether it was when Ye Xiaomo left kindergarten alone, and Zhao Gushen had someone contact her, or signing up for the culinary competition and giving her many exceptions, or suddenly appearing at the kindergarten today to support them.

Ye Fei knew very well that Zhao Gushen didn’t have to support them at all.

For someone he had only met once, Zhao Gushen wasn’t obligated to do so.

Yet he went.

If Zhao Gushen hadn’t been there today, it wouldn’t have been so easy to deal with Wang Zishuai’s mother.

The principal wouldn’t have sided with them either.

So, Ye Fei was very grateful to Zhao Gushen.

She truly wanted to repay him, not just saying nice things, she just didn’t know what Zhao Gushen would appreciate.

A rare chance given by Zhao Gushen, she naturally wanted to earnestly prepare a meal.

Ye Fei was preparing the existing ingredients at home, ordering the ones she lacked from the online supermarket, and within an hour, they were delivered to her door.

Faster than going to the supermarket herself.

In the fridge, there was plum sauce she had made earlier. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Ye Xiaomo liked to eat it, especially dipped with roasted chicken.

This time, Ye Fei planned to use plum sauce instead of honey on the surface of the chicken for roasting.

She first marinated the chicken, fearing the afternoon’s marinade wouldn’t be flavorful enough, she deliberately increased the amount of sauce.

The sauce was cooked with fresh plums, then the plums in the sauce were crushed to make the plum juice richer.

The sweet and sour fruity aroma of the plums could be smelled from the living room, prompting Zhao Gushen to abandon Ye Xiaomo and head to the kitchen.

Ye Xiaomo immediately "thump thump thump" followed behind Zhao Gushen, determined to be a loyal and uncomplaining light bulb, illuminating the whole room.

Unfortunately, his legs weren’t long enough, and his speed wasn’t fast enough.

Zhao Gushen opened the kitchen door to go in, and in the last second, mercilessly blocked Ye Xiaomo outside.

Ye Xiaomo: "..."

"What are you making? It smells very sweet." Zhao Gushen came to Ye Fei’s side.

Zhao Gushen’s voice suddenly sounded beside her ear, startling Ye Fei.

She instinctively turned to look, but unexpectedly saw Zhao Gushen standing so close.

As she looked up, she met Zhao Gushen’s lowered face.

Perhaps because of being too nervous and it was an illusion, Ye Fei felt that Zhao Gushen’s face was too close to her.

If not careful, they might touch.

Ye Fei hurriedly lowered her head, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment: "I’m making plum roasted chicken."

"Plum roasted chicken?" Zhao Gushen hadn’t really tried it before.

Ye Fei quickly focused her attention on the cutting board, and in doing so, exposed her red ears.

Watching this, Zhao Gushen couldn’t help but lower his head, wanting to come even closer.

Ye Fei didn’t notice and explained while lowering her head: "Since it’s hot now, I wanted to make something sweet and sour to whet the appetite."

As she said this, Ye Fei stuffed the marinated and crushed plum meat into the chicken’s belly.

She also tucked in two slices of lemon.

"Because of the short marinating time, this is the only way to make it flavorful." Ye Fei explained while lowering her head.
