The next morning, Lin Xiao woke up early. He stretched, feeling refreshed!
He had only gone to bed past two in the morning, but for him, four hours of deep sleep was more than enough. Luo Qinghan, sleeping next to Xun'er, showed no signs of waking up.
After releasing four years' worth of pent-up energy throughout the night, it was not something an ordinary person could withstand. It was only when Luo Qinghan could no longer take it that Lin Xiao reluctantly stopped.
Luo Qinghan would likely need to rest for the entire day today.
While eating breakfast, Xun'er, knowing her mother was still asleep, proudly declared, "Xun'er is even better than Mommy now! Mommy is such a lazy bug!"
Lin Xiao chuckled. Fortunately, Qinghan wasn't awake, or she would have called Xun'er an ungrateful wretch again.
After sending Xun'er to kindergarten, he returned home to find Luo Qinghan still not awake. Lin Xiao calculated the time and went to the kitchen, humming a tune as he prepared breakfast.
Last night, his relationship with Luo Qinghan had taken another step forward. He was certain it was because of Gu Yunyun's sudden appearance.
There was no other explanation; otherwise, Luo Qinghan wouldn't have progressed to this point with him.
But it was for the best. She was his wife, after all, and it was time they were truly united.
At that moment, he decided he would treat Gu Yunyun better from now on, so their relationship wouldn't advance so quickly.
Lost in thought, he glanced at his phone. Sure enough, the little girl was at the main gate of the villa.
This time, he very enthusiastically invited Gu Yunyun in.
"Just you?"
Lin Xiao placed a bowl of rice noodles, with no chili at all, in front of her.
"Mm, Brother Xiao, I finally managed to get away from my dad." Gu Yunyun, seeing the rice noodles without a trace of red oil or chili, was so touched she could have cried. She picked up the bowl and began to eat ravenously.
"You eat first. I'll go and take breakfast to my wife," Lin Xiao said.
Hearing this, Gu Yunyun's eyes widened. "Brother Xiao, is Sister Qinghan also a Dragon King?"
"How is that possible?" Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. "Do you really think the title of Dragon King is that easy to come by?"
"Then why are you serving Sister Qinghan like she's an emperor?" Gu Yunyun was perplexed. "I had people serving me when I was little too. Later, my dad made them all leave when I turned sixteen."
Thinking of this, Gu Yunyun pouted, clearly still holding a grudge.
"Don't tell me you've realized you can't take care of yourself?" Lin Xiao glanced at the girl. Before the age of sixteen, she had been meticulously cared for and served. Could such a person truly survive on their own in modern society? And even study abroad?
"It's not that I can't take care of myself. It's just that I'm not very neat when I tie my hair, and I'm used to being fed when I eat..." Gu Yunyun pondered before replying.
"...If I were your dad, I would have stopped too," Lin Xiao couldn't help but say. "If it continued, you would have been raised into a good-for-nothing."
As he spoke, Lin Xiao headed upstairs.
Downstairs, Gu Yunyun looked on with envy. "If someone has to be a good-for-nothing, why can't it be me!"
In the room, Lin Xiao delivered a breakfast that was both visually appealing and fragrant. The enticing aroma quickly woke Luo Qinghan, whose body was already hungry.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Lin Xiao's familiar face, along with the breakfast placed before her.
