The Eating Time of Little Ann

Qin Sui'an had an exceptionally comfortable sleep, feeling as if she was lying on a soft, fluffy cloud, drifting away.

Before Ann even opened her eyes, Qin Haochen had already sensed her awakening.

He gently placed his palm on her small back and softly asked, "Ann, are you awake?"

"Mmm…" Qin Sui'an let out a soft whimper and drowsily opened her round eyes, only to see her handsome and charming daddy smiling at her.

She blinked her round eyes in confusion, gradually regaining her senses, and then happily smiled, "Daddy!"

She was indeed a child with a loving daddy!

"Good girl." Qin Haochen lowered his head slightly and planted a gentle kiss on Ann's head.

"Ann, you've slept for a long time. You must be hungry."

As if her little tummy understood her daddy's words, a growling sound emerged from within.

Qin Sui'an lowered her head, glanced at her small tummy, and then shyly nodded, "Ann is a little hungry."

"Then let's have dinner first."

Qin Haochen carried Ann and helped her clean her face and hands before heading to the dining hall on the ground floor of the castle.

In the past, the dining hall on the ground floor was mainly used for breakfast, and lunch and dinner were rarely served there.

Most of the time, everyone would have their meals separately without gathering in the castle.

But now, in the dining hall, on the comfortable and elegant golden dining chairs, sat Qin Yanyi and Qin Qianyi.

Qin Yanyi was currently listening to his Sixth Brother vividly recount how he had beaten Zong Jianren.

"As soon as I entered, he started trembling at the sight of me. I even suspected if I scared him to the point of wetting himself!"

Qin Qianyi spoke excitedly, gesturing as he continued, "Second Brother, you didn't see his expression, it was truly spectacular!"

To prevent his Sixth Brother from rambling on, Qin Yanyi interrupted him and asked, "How did you beat him this time?"

"I followed your advice, didn't hit his face, just punched him in the stomach."

Qin Qianyi felt unsatisfied that his brother didn't let him hit the face.

He sneered and disdainfully said, "But he still fainted. Pathetic, he's so weak."

Qin Yanyi was aware of Zong Jianren being knocked out by his Sixth Brother again.

The bodyguards had immediately asked him to go and save the person, fearing that his Sixth Brother's strength might cause serious harm.

It wasn't a big problem, just some internal injuries and a bit of blood vomit.

He wouldn't die.

Suddenly, footsteps could be heard from outside.

Qin Yanyi and Qin Qianyi simultaneously stopped talking, immediately stood up, and eagerly looked towards the entrance of the dining hall.

Under their expectant gazes, Qin Haochen entered the dining hall carrying Ann.

Qin Yanyi and Qin Qianyi exclaimed in unison, "Ann!"

Qin Haochen paused for a moment, subtly glanced at them, and for the first time, he was directly ignored by them.

But for the sake of Ann, he chose not to dwell on it.

Qin Sui'an tightly held onto her daddy's clothes and upon seeing her second and Third Brothers, her round eyes immediately formed crescents as she sweetly called out, "Second Brother! Sixth Brother!"

Qin Qianyi swiftly pulled out a delicate and tender children's high chair specially prepared for Ann.

"Ann, you've been sleeping for so long, dinner is already late. Sit down quickly and have dinner!"

Qin Haochen walked slowly and approached the children's high chair.

He carefully placed Ann from his arms into the chair, adjusting her posture.

The craftsmanship of the children's high chair was exquisite, and the cushion was extremely soft.

Qin Sui'an fit perfectly as if it was tailor-made for her.

The scent that filled her nose was the delicious aroma of food.

Qin Sui'an couldn't resist the temptation and couldn't help but salivate.

Her bright round eyes were fixed on the food on the table.

Her little tummy growled with joy.

She nervously covered her growling tummy and glanced at her Daddy, Second Brother, and Sixth Brother.

Seeing that they weren't teasing her, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Qianyi noticed Ann's little actions and suppressed a smile, saying, "Look how hungry Ann is, her tummy is growling."

Qin Sui'an shook her little head and explained in a childish voice, "Sixth Brother, it's not Ann growling, it's my tummy growling!"

"Yes, yes, it's Ann's tummy growling," Qin Qianyi chuckled and went along with her words.

Qin Haochen gently touched Ann's head and asked softly, "Ann, what would you like to eat first?"

"I wanna eat… um…" Qin Sui'an earnestly looked at the table, which seemed huge and long to her.

The 2.88-meter-long exquisite natural stone dining table was neatly arranged with delicious dinner, all prepared by world-class chefs.

There were many foods she had never seen or tasted before.

She licked her lips and finally pointed to the milk she had drunk in the morning.

"Daddy, Ann wants to drink milk!"

"All right." Qin Haochen followed Ann's wish and brought the bottle of milk.

He first tested the temperature of the milk on the back of his hand to make sure it wouldn't scald Ann, then handed it to her.

Qin Sui'an reached out her little hand and hugged the bottle, saying, "Thank you, Daddy!"

"You're welcome, Ann," Qin Haochen smiled gently.

"Drink slowly."

"Okay!" Qin Sui'an sucked on the bottle's nipple, drinking the milk with a gurgling sound.

Her round eyes couldn't help but stare at the other delicious food on the table, as if she was already contemplating which tasty dish to eat next.

Qin Haochen, Qin Yanyi, and Qin Qianyi, the father and sons, quietly watched Ann drink her milk.

None of them picked up their chopsticks, completely forgetting that they were in the dining room to eat, not just to watch Ann drink milk.

Watching Ann enjoy her milk, inexplicably, they all felt a desire for milk, their throats involuntarily moving.

One sip after another, Qin Sui'an finished the 150ml of milk in no time.

She placed the empty bottle next to the children's table and licked the milk stains on her lips, blinking her round eyes, eagerly looking at her daddy.

Qin Haochen couldn't help but smile, taking out a small handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and gently asked, "Ann, what else would you like to eat?"

Qin Sui'an pointed and said, "Daddy, Ann wants to eat the pale gray pancake!"

Qin Qianyi raised an eyebrow in confusion and followed the direction of her little hand, patiently correcting her, "Ann, this is not a pancake, it's called a steak."

Qin Sui'an tilted her head in confusion, "Steak?"

It was another word she had never encountered before.

"It's the meat from a cow," Qin Haochen patiently explained, using the easiest way for Ann to understand.

"Daddy will cut a small piece for you to try."

Soon, Qin Haochen brought a small piece of steak to Ann's mouth.

Qin Sui'an took a bite and savored it slowly.

Her mouth still had the lingering taste of milk, along with the aroma of the steak.

Seeing Ann's eyes squinting with delight and her little mouth slightly curved, Qin Haochen knew she liked it.

He quickly cut a few more small pieces and fed her slowly.

As she enjoyed the delicious and tender meat in her mouth, Qin Sui'an suddenly thought of something.

She blinked her round eyes and looked at her daddy, asking, "Daddy, where is the big white goose?"
