Free Web NovelChapter 569: Chapter 496: They’re Truly in Love, and I Turned Out to Be the Accident
As the sunset’s afterglow bathed the city’s skyline, the clouds on the horizon got tinged with golden edges, and the evening’s tranquility quietly descended.
In a certain residential area of the city.
The Xie family home.
In the living room.
Yang Xinrou, dressed in soft loungewear, was gently sitting on the colorful carpet, sharing a "motherly love and filial piety" moment with her daughter, building a dream castle block by block.
"Tiantian, you’re really a little architect, great job!"
Whenever Tiantian placed a block, Yang Xinrou would give her praise, causing Tiantian’s little face to sparkle with pride.
Just as this warm moment was flowing...
The gentle sound of the door opening and Xie Jiahao’s tender greeting intertwined: "Honey, Tiantian, I’m home..."
"Husband, you’re back..."
A gentle smile flickered in Yang Xinrou’s eyes. She looked up towards the door and softly responded.
Almost at the same moment...
Tiantian also sensed her dad’s return. She excitedly dropped the blocks in her hands, jumped up from the carpet, her little legs moving joyfully, unsteadily but determinedly running towards Xie Jiahao, sweetly calling out, "Daddy~"
"Ah, my little darling Tiantian!"
Xie Jiahao quickly bent down, caught his daughter in his arms, and showered her cheeks with countless loud kisses.
For a moment, the gentle sound of "mua" and Tiantian’s "giggling" laughter, like a silver bell, echoed in the entryway.
Not far away, Yang Xinrou watched this scene, pretending to be a little jealous and said, "Oh, I went through all the trouble to give myself a little rival! Now they’re true love, and I have become unexpected..."
Seeing this, Xie Jiahao gently turned to Tiantian and whispered, "Tiantian, see, Mommy seems a bit emotional. We need to think of a way to make Mommy happy, okay?"
"Mm~"
Tiantian’s big eyes sparkled with lively light, her little brain quickly calculating.
"Oh~ I know!" Her little mouth formed an "O" shape, and she excitedly shouted, "Daddy, we can... kiss Mommy~"
"Haha, Tiantian is really smart and brilliant! So let’s give Mommy a big surprise together!" Xie Jiahao chuckled and gently touched foreheads with Tiantian, then picked her up, slowly walking towards Yang Xinrou.
Tiantian’s small hands wrapped around Yang Xinrou’s neck, giving her a crisp and loud kiss on the left cheek.
Xie Jiahao also gave Yang Xinrou a loving kiss on the right cheek.
"Alright, alright, you two father and daughter are really..."
Yang Xinrou pretended to be annoyed, but her face was filled with a happy smile. She then turned to Xie Jiahao and softly said, "Husband, you play with Tiantian for a while, and I’ll prepare dinner."
"Of course, with great pleasure!"
Xie Jiahao happily accepted this sweet task.
Yang Xinrou then turned her gaze gently onto Tiantian, softly asking, "Tiantian, is there anything special you want to eat tonight? Tell Mommy."
"Tiantian wants to eat... that green cake!"
Upon hearing her name called, Tiantian immediately lifted her little face, her round eyes sparkling with anticipation, unhesitatingly responding.
"Green cake?"
Hearing this, Yang Xinrou paused slightly, instinctively repeating while quickly searching her mind for what food matched this description.
"Mommy, it’s the one we had at Grandpa’s house... the green, soft... cake~"
Seeing that Mommy seemed not to understand, Tiantian tried hard to recall, explaining with her tender language, while her big watery eyes shone with a yearning for the delicacy, involuntarily sticking out her little pink tongue to slightly lick the corner of her lips.
Not to say the least.
This little gluttonous look was unbelievably cute...
"Oh, I understand!" Suddenly realizing, Xie Jiahao, standing by, laughed and picked up the conversation: "Could it be the spinach cake we had at dad’s house yesterday?"
"Mm-mm~"
Tiantian’s little head nodded like a little chick pecking rice.
"Little glutton!"
Filled with doting affection, Yang Xinrou lightly tapped Tiantian’s delicate little nose. For her daughter’s rare request for food, even though she wasn’t very good at it, she was determined to try, smiling widely as she agreed, "Sure, isn’t it just a spinach cake? That’s not going to defeat Mommy. Mommy will prepare it for you now."
With that, she gracefully moved over to the sofa, picked up her phone from the coffee table, and began to carefully search for video tutorials on making "spinach cake," planning to add a special sweetness to Tiantian’s dinner.
Seeing this, Xie Jiahao, though secretly pondering whether his wife’s culinary skills could manage, chose to bury all doubts deeply in his heart, turning them into silent support as he watched her enthusiastic demeanor.
He gently held Tiantian, slowly sitting down on the carpet, and both of them immersed in the joyful world of "building blocks," savoring this rare, pure parent-child time.
Meanwhile, Yang Xinrou focused intently, repeatedly watching the video tutorial. With each detail deeply understood, she gradually found the preparation process was not as complicated as she had imagined, boosting her confidence, inadvertently revealing a confident smile at the corner of her mouth.
After all, with three years of culinary experience, how could she not outperform a bunch of kids without a kindergarten diploma?
If not...
She would indeed have wasted three years of honing her cooking skills...
"No big deal, it should be manageable! Next step, let’s go shopping..."
