Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 333 - 323: This Photo Turned Out So Well!

Back home.

Huang Tao kept his promise and found a dance tutorial video for Xuanxuan of "I Won’t Fall for Your Tricks," and even practiced with her for a while.

Then...

He collapsed on the sofa, looking completely drained.

To be honest, cooking the whole day wasn’t as tiring as practicing with her!

However, to see his little sweetheart happy, no matter how hard or tiring it was, he would do it willingly.

Just that his shoulders, arms, and legs were a bit sore, so Huang Tao reached out to rub his own shoulders and arms.

Trying to relieve that discomforting soreness!

"Daddy, let me massage you..."

Xuanxuan blinked her big watery eyes. Seeing her father rubbing his shoulders, she immediately knew he was uncomfortable and quickly approached, kneeling on one knee on the sofa.

She extended her chubby little hands, gently massaging Huang Tao’s shoulders and arms.

Massaging quite well.

Huang Tao felt a warm sensation in his heart, smiling as he asked, "Xuanxuan, where did you learn this from?"

Xuanxuan’s beautiful big eyes curved with a proud little expression, responding, "I saw Grandma massaging Grandpa’s shoulders like this. I also massaged Grandma like this, and she praised me for being good!"

Huang Tao beamed, praising her, "Indeed, my Xuanxuan is so well-behaved!"

After a few more massages, Xuanxuan tilted her little head and smiled sweetly at him, "Daddy, does this feel good?"

"Yes, very good..."

Huang Tao leaned back against the sofa with a satisfied expression, "If you press a bit harder, it would be even better..."

"Okay, okay~"

Having understood immediately, Xuanxuan increased her strength and used her utmost effort to massage vigorously.

She massaged earnestly and energetically, with a rhythmic pattern.

Ah~

It really felt so comfortable, so comforting!

While it couldn’t compare with professional masseurs, this warm, heartfelt feeling was unmatched.

Though Xuanxuan’s hands massaged Huang Tao’s shoulders and arms, the warmth and comfort stayed in his heart.

"Xuanxuan, that’s enough!"

After a few minutes, fearing Xuanxuan might tire herself out, Huang Tao gently held Xuanxuan’s small hand, softly saying, "Daddy’s shoulders and arms don’t feel sore anymore."

"Oh~"

Xuanxuan’s small mouth opened slightly, nodding obediently, "Alright then, next time your shoulders or arms are sore, just let me know, and I’ll massage them for you again."

Listening to Xuanxuan’s innocent words, Huang Tao felt warmth overflowing in his heart!

Huang Tao turned around, pulling the little one beside him into his arms, planting several kisses on her rosy cheeks.

Making the little one in his arms giggle continuously.

The sound of silver-bell-like laughter echoed in the living room, filling it with a warm atmosphere.

After some playful moments, Huang Tao said to Xuanxuan, "Come, Xuanxuan, it’s bath time."

"Daddy, can I take a bath later?"

Xuanxuan wiggled her little bottom in her father’s arms, adjusting her sitting position, and looking at the plate of Red Beauty oranges on the coffee table, said, "I want to eat an orange first, is that okay?"

Huang Tao nodded, "Of course! Daddy will get it for you."

After speaking, he placed Xuanxuan on the sofa beside him, then leaned forward, stretched out his arm, and grabbed a Red Beauty orange.

He peeled it effortlessly, kindly dividing the fruit into two halves, and handed it to Xuanxuan.

"Thank you, Daddy..."

Grateful, Xuanxuan took it, picked out the largest segment of fruit, and brought it to Huang Tao’s mouth, dimples appearing, "Daddy, open your mouth, let me feed you."

"I get a share too, huh..."

Huang Tao smiled and opened his mouth.

When he tasted the largest segment of Red Beauty offered by his daughter, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve upward slightly.

Ah, how sweet!

This sweet sensation lingered in his heart like smoke.

Watching Huang Tao, Xuanxuan’s little face was full of anticipation.

Seeking praise!

Understanding, Huang Tao smiled, reached out to pat her little head, "Xuanxuan is the sweetest!"

"Hee hee~"

Xuanxuan laughed happily, then offered another segment to herself, eating along with it.

Chewing with a smacking sound, some juice splashed at the corners of her little mouth.

Unable to resist laughing, Huang Tao took a tissue and helped the little one wipe the corners of her mouth, softly saying, "Look at you, you’ve almost turned into a little kitten!"

"Daddy, I’m not a little kitten, I’m a person. Mimi is the little kitten..."

Xuanxuan sat on the sofa, swinging her slender legs wrapped in fleece-lined leggings gently, and blinked her big watery eyes, looking at her father as she rebutted.

"Meow..."

Resting in the cat bed, Mimi let out a cheerful cry, thinking Xuanxuan was calling her, and peeked toward the living room.

With a laugh, Xuanxuan pointed in Mimi’s direction, "Daddy, listen, Mimi agrees with me!"

Mimi: ...No, I don’t, you’re making things up!

Huang Tao nodded with a smile, spoiled her by responding, "True, Xuanxuan is right, Mimi is the little kitten."

The innocent Mimi, wrongly accused, resignedly lay back in her cat bed.

What else could it do when its human said so?

Just go with it and let the little one have a good time!

After all, it wouldn’t lose a pound, right!

And Xuanxuan was very pleased with her father’s response. She giggled, pouting her little lips to give a sweet kiss on her dad’s cheek as a reward.

Besides this reward, she offered another segment of Red Beauty.

Huang Tao took out his phone, checked the time, and with a thought, asked, "Xuanxuan, should we take a picture together?"

"Sure!"

Xuanxuan nodded enthusiastically, sitting obediently next to Huang Tao.

She raised her small hand, curving it into half a heart.

Initially, she intended to place her hand above her dad’s head, but since he was too tall and her arm wasn’t long enough, she placed her hand above her own head.

Huang Tao understood in an instant.

He extended his hand to complete the other half of the heart.

He smiled and instructed, "Come, let’s say cheese together."

"Cheese..."

With that word, the photo was taken.

Huang Tao and Xuanxuan were enveloped by their hearts.

Both father and daughter wore bright smiles on their faces.

He hoped Xuanxuan would always stay this happy.

With his phone, Huang Tao sent the photo of the two of them to his mom, Song Cailian.

He thought the message would go unanswered as his mom might be asleep.

Unexpectedly, his mom replied instantly: Son, this picture is really nice!

Mom: You two haven’t slept yet!

Mom: You should go to bed early. Xuanxuan has school tomorrow, and you need to get up early to open the shop. You need to get good rest.

Huang Tao laughed and sent a voice message: Alright, Mom, got it. We’ll wash up and sleep soon.

"Daddy, I want to say goodnight to Grandma." Xuanxuan tugged at his sleeve.

"Sure!"

Huang Tao handed the phone to her. The little one pressed the voice function button and said, "Grandma, goodnight!"

After wishing Grandma goodnight, Huang Tao took Xuanxuan to the bathroom.

After washing up, both father and daughter also took a bath, changed into pajamas, and returned to the bedroom.

Huang Tao set the air conditioner to 26 degrees.

The two lay down on the big bed.

Feeling fully relaxed!

Xuanxuan turned her body, blinking her eyes at him, softly calling, "Daddy."

Huang Tao glanced at her sideways, "Hmm, what’s up? It’s too late tonight; we’ll skip the bedtime story."

"Okay, okay~"

Xuanxuan obediently nodded, snuggling up against Huang Tao’s chest, clutching his pajama, murmuring, "Pat me to sleep, please."

Huang Tao, through the quilt, gently patted her back, softly saying, "Sleep, Daddy is here watching over you."

Gently patted by her father, Xuanxuan fell into a peaceful sleep, with a sweet smile still on her face.

She surely would have sweet dreams tonight!
