Xu Mo only saw a hand and was grabbed in the next second. “Stand still. I’m going to the toilet.”

With that, Xu Nanjin entered the bathroom.

“?”

Xu Mo thought that his head was muddled after sleeping for too long. He looked at the time and saw that it was already five o’clock.

Previously, when he was working as a corporate animal, he had only woken up at six because the commute would take more than two hours.

Sometimes it was normal to get up at 5:00 when things were unfinished.

‘But she woke me up in a hurry just to go to the toilet?’

After a while, Xu Nanjin came out with a shy expression.

After the short consideration just now, she felt very uneasy suddenly waking him up.

After all, he still had to work hard tonight. She interrupted Xu Mo’s sleep.

She lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry! I suddenly woke you to keep me company.”

After saying that, she looked up aggrievedly. “But you can’t entirely blame me. Who asked you to tell me that the room was full of people everywhere before you went to bed? It was so lively.”

Xu Mo thought to himself, ‘Could it be that every cause has its effect? Your retribution is me!’

Since he had been the one to start it, he could only bear the consequences.

He said, “I’ve had enough sleep. Why don’t I stay here with you?”

“…”

“…”

‘Good for you, saying that so quickly.’

Although it was marriage before love, it had to be done step by step.

Xu Nanjin’s mind went blank for two seconds before she blushed.

What’s-her-name said that marriage without feelings is like long-term torture.

She didn’t want to live like that. If Xu Mo didn’t love her, she would choose to leave.

Although she had gotten pregnant before marriage, her family had protected her well and she had barely suffered any grievances.

But deep down, she still wished for a normal family.

She had bravely registered her marriage with him because she had liked him before and trusted his character.

Furthermore, Xiao Ke was looking for her father every day and had reached the age of kindergarten. She had to give her daughter an explanation.

School was about to start. She didn’t have time to develop feelings before registering her marriage.

If she had not done a detailed investigation, she would not have had the courage to propose directly.

Although things had developed in the best way, there seemed to be a deviation now.

Her face hardened. “No. I’m going to bed. Please get out.”

Xu Mo knew that she had misunderstood him and wanted to explain, but she had already pushed him out the door.

They had only been together for a short time, but she was already angry.

Xu Mo suddenly felt that there was a reason why he had been single for so many years.

Girls should be pampered. Why did he keep scaring people?

At this point, he could only think of countermeasures to make up for it.

After hovering in the doorway for a while and hearing nothing from inside, he returned to the room.

The sky was already bright. Outside, traffic roared.

Xu Mo thought of the pickled carrot secret manual that the system had given him and wanted to make it as soon as possible.

He couldn’t sleep anyway, so he decided to get up.

Even the egg fried rice had to be extremely delicious so that everyone who had eaten it would remember it and buy it again.

Although there were many people in a city, their influence was limited.

Only by constantly stabilizing old customers and then bringing in new ones could business continue to prosper.

Thinking that they shouldn’t be waking up so quickly, Xu Mo went to the market first.

The market was busy early in the morning. The fresh vegetables were stained with water droplets, fresh and tempting.

The products at each stall were neatly arranged, and the colorful vegetables smelled fresh.

Xu Mo thought about the dishes for today. He went to buy meat first and then a dozen eggs.

Since he didn’t know their tastes, he decided to make the lighter dishes first.

He decided to make stir-fried beef with celery, tomato mushroom tofu soup, and a steamed egg today.

There wasn’t much load for the three of them. He could take it with one hand.

He went to buy dozens of kilograms of carrots and immediately felt heavy.

He returned to the building, bought breakfast, and went upstairs.

When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Ke running around the room in her pajamas.

When she saw him, she immediately pounced on him and hung onto his thigh. “Daddy, why did you buy so much stuff?”

Xu Mo said, “Is Mom still sleeping? Let’s not disturb her, okay?”

In the morning, he realized that Xu Nanjin probably hadn’t slept all night. Now was a good time for her to rest.

Xiao Ke nodded. “Okay. I won’t go in and bother Mom.”

She took the buns sensibly and set them down on the table.

Xu Mo placed the dishes and sat at the dining table to eat breakfast with his daughter.

Looking at his daughter’s rosy face when she was about to open her mouth to eat the buns, Xu Mo asked, “Xiao Ke, have you brushed your teeth?”

Xiao Ke stopped what she was doing, slid off the stool, and ran directly to the room. “I’ll brush them now.”

Xu Mo grabbed her and pointed to another bathroom. “Go over there. Dad will go get your toiletries.”

Xu Nanjin was still sleeping. Xiao Ke’s washing up would definitely affect her.

Xiao Ke nodded obediently and stood her ground.

Xu Mo went in carefully and successfully took out her daughter’s things.

He originally thought that he had to help her brush her teeth and wash her face, but who knew that Xiao Ke could do everything herself.

She brushed her teeth. Bubbles trickled from her mouth.

But she threw them out just in time to avoid getting her clothes wet.

Next she washed her face. Under the running water she rinsed the towel, then wrung it out.

Spreading the towel over her face, she slowly wiped it clean, then placed the towel on the towel rack.

When it ended, she wiped her hands and rolled her palms. “Dad, I’m done. How about you?”

Xu Mo looked at her actions and felt that he had missed many things.

If he could teach Little Ke these, the process should be interesting.

Xu Mo couldn’t help but pick her up. Smelling the fragrance on her body, he said, “Daddy is done. Let’s continue eating breakfast.”

After returning to the dining table, Xiao Ke drank soy milk and bit into the bun. She was satisfied and said, “The bun is really delicious.”

Xu Mo tasted it. It was average.

He would see when he could sign in for the Bun Secret Manual and let his daughter taste his cooking.

He asked, “Did you sleep well last night? Dad has a lot on today. Do you and Mom want to go out?”

Since the system had given him the secret manual, he had to perform well.

It made everyone who came to eat egg fried rice feel extremely delicious.

Moreover, there was still rice and eggs in the system that could be exchanged for. In the future, the taste could be upgraded again.

Xiao Ke’s mouth was full. She seemed to like meat buns.

She pointed to her mouth and said nothing. Her mother had said she couldn’t talk until there was nothing in her mouth.

After a while, she swallowed the bun in her mouth and took another sip of soy milk before saying, “Daddy, I don’t want to go anywhere.

“I just want to accompany you with Mom. I’ll even help.”

Xu Mo touched her hair and felt warm inside.

His daughter was so obedient. She was really her father’s sweet little daughter.

He said, “Good. Daddy will teach you how to make pickled carrots today.”

Xiao Ke raised her hand happily and said excitedly, “Great. I can help Daddy again.”
