Luo Chenxi glared at the man sitting across the table.

For a man like him to display childishness of such level, was he for real?

How could he be fighting with his own daughter over food?

If only this had happened any other time, she would have started mouthing off about him without a second thought.

However, not this time, not when she had a favor to ask of the man. She dared not push her luck because she could end up offending him.

“Um… I"ll go check on Tang Tang, she seems to be crying…”

Luo Chenxi was worried, so she got up and went upstairs.

When she entered the children"s room, she saw the little dumpling sitting on the bed. She had stopped crying, but her eyes were still red. The little girl"s face was aggrieved as she pouted with her chin lifted.

“Good girl, Tang Tang, don"t be sad. Your Daddy is just too childish, let"s ignore him!”

Luo Chenxi sat on the bed and brought the little dumpling into her arms as she comforted the little girl with a soft voice.

The little dumpling squirmed around in Luo Chenxi"s arms in an attempt to shake her off. Of course, the little girl did not break free, so she simply buried her face into the woman"s neck.

“Sob, sob, big sister, Tang Tang wants to eat sweet and sour fish too.”

“Alright, alright, don"t cry. I"ll make another one for you right now, alright? Instead of sweet and sour sauce, we"ll make one with tomato gravy! It also tastes sweet and sour. Your Daddy hasn"t even tried it before!”

The little dumpling finally broke into a smile.

Luo Chenxi quickly went downstairs to make the mentioned dish.

The little dumpling took a great liking to the new dish and finished the whole thing by herself.

Then, she rubbed her round belly and leaned close to Luo Chenxi"s ear. “Big sister, Daddy is so annoying! Please don"t fall for him, and don"t pursue him, alright?”

Luo Chenxi could not help but laugh. “I never liked your daddy in the first place, so I never wanted to pursue him anyway.”

The little dumpling was satisfied at Luo Chenxi"s words.

She was already exhausted from darting about an entire afternoon, so the little dumpling quickly fell asleep after having her fill of supper.

After coaxing the little dumpling into sleep, Luo Chenxi took the used plates and cutleries out of the room.

As soon as she got up, she realized that the door was not closed. Mu Yichen was standing at the corridor right in front of the doorstep as he leaned against the handrail, watching over Luo Chenxi and the little dumpling at a distance.

Luo Chenxi was stunned for a second before she laughed dryly. “Ahem, Young Master Mu, why are you standing at the door? When did you get here?”

Mu Yichen"s handsome face was expressionless. His thin lips parted and said, “Not long ago, that was right as my dear daughter said that she hated me.”

Luo Chenxi wiped the cold sweat on her forehead as she said, “Those words… Tang Tang just said them out of anger, you don"t have to take it so seriously. She"ll forget about it once she wakes up tomorrow.”

Mu Yichen gazed deeply at her and asked. “Tang Tang"s were words of anger, but what about yours?”

“Huh?” Luo Chenxi looked confused.

She did not react until Mu Yichen turned around and started going downstairs.

Mu Yichen was not talking about that line—”Please don"t fall for him” that the little dumpling said just now, right?

Impossible, impossible. She must be overthinking it!

Young Master Mu could not thank her enough for not pestering him!

When she went downstairs, Luo Chenxi found out that the dishes on the table were pretty much left untouched. All the food remained on their plates.

She turned to look at Mu Yichen in surprise. “Why aren"t you eating? Are the dishes not to your liking?”

Mu Yichen"s face was cold. “Why are you so concerned about someone else"s stomach when you haven"t even eaten anything yourself? Sit down and eat, the food has gotten cold! What are you standing there for?”

Luo Chenxi moved as the man dished out his orders one by one. She sat down on the chair and picked up the rice bowl.

The rice was actually hot!

Did Mu Yichen heat it up? How could a Young Master like him have done something so considerate?

Luo Chenxi held her rice bowl as she sneaked a few glances at Mu Yichen. However, when she saw the cold expression on the man"s handsome face, she remained silent.

After his meal, Mu Yichen went to sit on the sofa and started watching TV instead of heading straight to the study room like usual.

Luo Chenxi"s eyes lit up as she realized that her plan today had not completely failed.

Even without the little dumpling"s a.s.sistance, Young Master Mu was still considerate enough to heat up the food for her. This meant that he should be in a good mood, right?

Luo Chenxi walked up to Mu Yichen"s back and took deep breaths. Then, she changed into her sweetest voice when she started talking again.

“Young Master Mu, your neck seems to look pretty stiff, has the stress been getting to you? Coincidentally, I"ve had a few days of ma.s.saging lessons before, so let me give you a ma.s.sage, you should feel a lot more comfortable afterward.”

As she spoke, a pair of slender little hands pressed on Mu Yichen"s neck as they alternated between gentle and heavy ma.s.sages.

“Hiss…”

In an instant, a sore but pleasurable feeling rushed to his head, causing him to moan softly.
