Chapter 353: Good Morning, Daddy

At 6am, Gu Chen's biological clock woke him up from his sleep on time.

He carefully lifted his wife's head, which was resting on his arm, and placed it on the pillow.

Gu Chen moved his somewhat numb arm a little and then sat up from the bed.

Looking at his wife's sweet sleeping face, Gu Chen suddenly felt full of energy for the new day.

Then he tiptoed out of the bedroom and made his way to the kitchen.

Looking at the lotus seeds that had been soaked overnight and the washed glutinous rice, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

He turned on the stove and, with ease, placed the glutinous rice, lotus seeds and wolfberries in a casserole.

He added water, turned the gas to low heat and prepared to simmer for 30 minutes.

Then he turned on the other stove and boiled four eggs in water, one for him and one for his wife.

Tangtang was still growing, so an extra egg would provide some extra nutrition.

He then heated up some buns on top, and everything was perfect.

After taking care of the kitchen, Gu Chen washed his hands and made his way to his daughter's bedroom.

Tang Tang was lying on her back, fast asleep. Gu Chen knelt down next to her bed and gently shook her awake.

Looking at her daughter's adorable face, Gu Chen really hoped that she could sleep until she woke up naturally.

But then he remembered that today was the first day of her daughter's kindergarten.

Although it was mainly for registration, it was never appropriate to be late.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel quite fortunate that he had only let his daughter attend a few interest classes in Haicheng before.

Otherwise, changing kindergartens now would be like changing schools.

'Good morning, Daddy~'

Tang Tang said sleepily as she sat up in bed, her voice a little drowsy.

Gu Chen felt his heart melt at the sound of his daughter's sweet voice.

He then reached up and gave her a little nudge on her delicate nose, before grinning and saying

'Hurry up and get up, the Big Bad Wolf is coming for Little Red Riding Hood~'

He said, reaching up to tickle his daughter's armpit, and the father and daughter immediately became a laughing mess in the room.

Then he began helping Tantan get dressed again, looking at the closet full of all kinds of cute children's clothing.

Gu Chen was a bit at a loss. He had never been very good at matching outfits, although the family had a stack of clothing magazines that Ji Pianran had bought back.

He had originally planned to study them carefully, but because he had been so busy before, Gu Chen had not had time to read them yet.

But fortunately, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen plenty of it.

Gu Chen pinched her chin and carefully recalled what her daughter wore every day, and immediately had a direction.

It is always easy to copy something. In less than three minutes,

Gu Chen found the outfit her daughter had worn yesterday and put it back on.

A small floral dress, knee-length white stockings, and a pair of black round-toed leather shoes.

Seeing her daughter transform from a little bundle of sleep into a little beauty, Gu Chen felt a sense of accomplishment.

But the advantage of having a designer wife is that every outfit she puts on her daughter seems to be very well-considered.

Gu Chen felt that he should consult his wife more often.

He wanted to make his daughter the prettiest one in the whole kindergarten.

'Dad, come and braid my hair,'

Gu Chen was nodding his head in approval of the ambitious goal he had set for himself.

His daughter ran up to him, skipping and jumping, holding a few rubber bands in her hands.

Gu Chen was delighted to hear this and took the rubber bands directly from his daughter's white, small hands.

Then he patted the small stool in front of the dressing table, said with confidence, 'Tantan, sit down quickly and watch as I show you my unique braiding skills!'

As soon as she heard this, her daughter beamed with joy and sat directly next to Gu Chen.

She was ready to watch her father show off his skills.

In fact, this was the first time Gu Chen had ever braided his daughter's hair.

But as the ancients said, once you know one method, you know them all. Gu Chen had braided garlic in the village before.

His daughter's hair was so soft, which was much easier to braid than garlic.

Gu Chen had already braided two neat, big pigtails for her daughter.

After finishing with her daughter's side, the father and daughter went to the dining room together.

Tantan obediently sat in her own chair, while Gu Chen busied himself carrying out the breakfast that had already been prepared from the kitchen.

At this moment, his wife finally got up too.

Ji Pianran pushed open the door, looked at the steaming breakfast, and his daughter, who was already dressed neatly.

He couldn't help but feel a little moved, and he took his wife's hand and said softly, 'Honey, you really have worked hard.'

'Hey, what's the big deal? It's no big deal at all. It was a piece of cake for me. There's no such thing as hard work,'

Gu Chen said with a smile, waving his hand dismissively.

And her daughter, Tang Tang, added sweetly, 'Mommy, Daddy is really amazing. The plaits he made for me are even better than the ones you made.'

Ji Pianran looked carefully at the plaits and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

'Really, I didn't know that you were such a good braider,'

she said, her expression suddenly serious. Her big, watery eyes became a little resentful.

'Tell me the truth quickly. Is Gu Chen someone you grew up with, or did you have a childhood sweetheart that you didn't tell me about? You're so skilled at braiding pigtails, you must have learned it from someone's daughter. Was it Fang, the girl from the next village, or was it Yuwei, the girl I met a few days ago?'

Gu Chen couldn't help but slap his forehead, wondering where all this was coming from. However, under the tender attack of his wife,

He quickly surrendered, while at the same time he couldn't help shouting in protest.

'I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, where did you get the words 'Miss Fang' and 'Sister Yuwei'? My heart is like this: in the left atrium lives my beautiful and invincible wife, and in the right atrium lives my lovely, playful and obedient daughter. There's no room for anyone else to come in.'

Gu Chen couldn't help but smile when he said this, and then kissed his wife's fair, soft cheek.

'I learned how to make these twisted plaits from Garlic Girl. If you think about the few plaited garlics hanging from the beams in our house, don't they look like our daughter's hairstyle?'

'Go on, go on, you're not serious at all, how could you compare your daughter's hair to garlic?'

Although they were already considered an old married couple, they made such intimate gestures in front of their daughter.

It still made her pretty face blush slightly, especially when she heard Gu Chen compare her to her daughter as the left atrium and right ventricle.

Her heart was filled with sweetness, and she couldn't help but give him a good-looking glare.

Then she turned around and went to the bathroom to wash up.
