Daddy's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 610: Chapter 594: My Little Head Just Won’t Listen!

At night, a bright moon hung in the sky, its clear light shining down on the earth.

After a busy day, Huang Tao closed up shop, saw his parents off, and took Xuanxuan home. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Then...

He gave little Xuanxuan a warm bath and washed her silky black hair.

Freshly washed Xuanxuan turned into a peaceful and adorable little girl.

However...

Wrapped in a towel, she felt she looked beautiful and struck a pose in front of the mirror, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Her cute appearance was simply too adorable!

"Alright, stop admiring yourself, let Daddy dry you off and let’s change into pajamas."

Through the towel, Huang Tao dried her off, and then dressed her in a fluffy pink Peppa Pig pajama set.

Oh my~

So adorable it melts Daddy’s heart!

Huang Tao looked at her, finding her more and more adorable, and couldn’t help but lean in to give her a kiss.

Xuanxuan giggled: "Daddy, your beard tickles..."

"Tickles, does it? Even so, I want to kiss you..."

Huang Tao teasingly brushed his stubble against Niu Niu’s cheek, making her giggle again, dodging playfully.

After a moment of playful antics, Huang Tao took the towel off Xuanxuan’s head and softly said, "Come on, sweetheart, come sit here. Let Daddy blow-dry your hair." freewebnσvel.cøm

Saying this, he picked up the hairdryer and plugged it in.

Xuanxuan sat politely on the small chair, her little back straight as a rod, her pajama-clad legs dangling gently, eyes blinking with innocence, letting her dad dry her hair.

Under the warm breeze, her eyes squinted with comfort.

Her face showed complete relaxation.

Making her look even more adorable.

Dimples deepened on her cheeks as she sweetly called out, "Daddy~"

"Hmm?"

Huang Tao heard her, bewildered, and asked, "What is it, my darling?"

"Nothing."

Xuanxuan shook her head slightly, her brows arched with a smile, "I just wanted to call you! Hee hee hee~"

"You little rascal, you..."

Huang Tao chuckled and couldn’t resist reaching out to tickle the little one.

Little Xuanxuan couldn’t stand being tickled, instinctively curling up into a ball, giggling and dodging, while exclaiming about being tickled.

"Daddy, why are you tickling me... It tickles... Hee hee... Daddy... It tickles so much... Stop tickling me... Hahaha~"

Her bell-like laughter echoed in the bathroom.

"Hahaha..."

Huang Tao laughed as well, feeling the weariness of the day dissipate amidst the laughter.

The two of them played around for a bit before stopping.

"It’s getting late, time for us to go to bed."

Once everything was tidied up, Huang Tao carried her to the bedroom, laying her down, covering her with a blanket, and gently touched her little head, saying, "Go to sleep now!"

"Mm-hmm~"

Xuanxuan nodded like a pecking chick, closing her eyes.

Huang Tao smiled, about to turn off the bedside lamp, when the little one opened her eyes again.

Here we go again?!

Very familiar with Xuanxuan’s tricks, he naturally knew what she was up to.

He looked at her with a teasingly reproachful gaze.

Xuanxuan pouted her pink little lips, looking a bit aggrieved, and said, "Daddy, I can’t sleep."

"Sigh..."

Huang Tao sighed helplessly, lay down beside Xuanxuan, gently put his arm around her little head, and softly asked, "Sweetheart, tell Daddy, why can’t you sleep?"

She gently shook her head, "Daddy, I don’t know why I can’t sleep either!"

"I really want to do what Daddy says and fall asleep quickly, but when I close my eyes, my little head is disobedient and just won’t sleep..."

Finally, she sighed long and helplessly.

This expression full of helplessness fell into Huang Tao’s eyes, making him a bit amused yet exasperated.

Got it~

Huang Tao gave this explanation a score of 99, fearing she might become arrogant with an extra point.

Thinking that she must be excited today, and that’s why she can’t sleep, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch her little cheek, and softly said, "Shall I read you a picture book story?"

Xuanxuan’s eyes lit up instantly, "Sure!"

"What shall I read? Let me see..."

Huang Tao reached out on the bedside table, fumbled for a moment, picked up a picture book, and said with a smile, "Then let Dad read you ’My Lucky Day’, okay?"

"Okay!"

Xuanxuan nodded.

"One day, a hungry fox was about to go out to find lunch. While he was sharpening his claws, suddenly there was a knock on the door."

Huang Tao read in a low, vivid voice: "’Hey, little rabbit!’ someone shouted outside, ’Are you home?’ The fox thought, Rabbit? If there were any rabbits around here, I would have had them for lunch already."

"The fox opened the door—stood outside was a little fat pig. When the little pig saw that it was a fox opening the door, it screamed immediately: ’Oops, I got the wrong door.’ The fox, however, shouted: ’Ah, no, you found the right place!’"

"After saying that, he grabbed the little pig, dragged it inside with all his might, and happily said: ’This is really my lucky day! When did lunch ever come to my door!’"

"The little pig, however, struggled and screamed: ’Let me go! Let me leave!’"

"The fox said: ’Sorry, kid, you are not an ordinary meal. This is a roast pork, my delicious feast. Now, into the roasting pan you go! It’s no use struggling.’

Listening to this, Xuanxuan, who was engaged in the story, said worriedly: "What to do now? Is the little pig going to be eaten?"

Huang Tao shook his head and continued the story: "The little pig sighed: ’Alright, I’ll do as you say, but I have something to say.’"

"The fox roared: ’What is it?’"

"’Well, you know, I’m a pig, and pigs are very dirty, don’t you want to give me a bath first? Think about it, Mr. Fox.’

"The fox thought it made sense and muttered to himself: ’Hmm, he is dirty.’

"So, the fox got busy, gathering firewood, starting a fire, fetching water, and then he gave the little pig a nice bath."

"The little pig said: ’You are really a terrifying guy.’

Saying this, Huang Tao paused.

Xuanxuan urged: "Daddy, and then?"

He smiled and continued the story: "The fox said: ’You are now the cleanest little pig in the village, so just stay put!’

"The little pig sighed: ’Alright, I’ll do as you say, but...’

"The fox roared again: ’But what?’

"’Well, you know, I’m a very small pig. Don’t you want to feed me so you can have a more satisfying meal? Think about it, Mr. Fox.’

"The fox muttered again: ’Hmm, he is indeed a bit small.’

"So, the fox got busy again, picking tomatoes, cooking pasta, and baking little pies. Then, he gave the little pig a sumptuous lunch.

"The little pig said: ’You are really a terrifying chef!’

Xuanxuan couldn’t help but laugh: "Daddy, the fox is so silly, being played around by the little pig!"

"Daddy, did the little pig get eaten by the fox in the end?"

Huang Tao continued reading: "The fox said: ’Alright, you are now the fattest little pig in the village. Into the roasting pan with you!’

"The little pig sighed again: ’Alright, I’ll do as you say, but...’

"The fox impatiently shouted: ’But, but, but what?’

"’Well, you know, I am a hardworking pig, so my meat is particularly tough. Haven’t you thought about giving me a massage to make the roast meat more tender? Think about it, Mr. Fox.’

"The fox again muttered to himself: ’Hmm, meat that’s more tender would certainly suit my taste more~’

"So, the fox got busy again, kneading here and pulling there. He kneaded and tapped the little pig from head to toe.

"The little pig said: ’This is a terrifying massage, but I have indeed been working hard these days, my back is stiff. Can you use a little more strength, Mr. Fox? Just a little more strength would be good. Oh, that’s it, that’s it. Now please use some strength on the left side.’

"’Mr. Fox, where are you?’

"But, Mr. Fox couldn’t hear anymore, as he had exhausted himself into unconsciousness. He didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger, let alone roast pork!"

Xuanxuan blinked her big eyes, murmuring: "Daddy, did the little pig get saved?"

Huang Tao held Xuanxuan’s hand and said: "Yes, in the end, the little pig dashed home with the remaining little pies, saying it was really its luckiest day. Why do you think the little pig would say that?"

Xuanxuan thought for a moment and said: "Because the little pig had a very comfortable bath, a very sumptuous lunch, received a very pleasant massage, got the fox so tired that he passed out, and escaped home with the fox’s little pies."

"Wonderfully said!"

Huang Tao bent down and kissed her, saying: "Alright, the picture book is finished. Now go to sleep!"

This time Niuniu obediently closed her eyes, drifting into sleep with the story of the little pig’s lucky day.

Very soon.

The cute little one was asleep, emitting light, even snores, sleeping soundly.
