Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was about time for Xu Mo to prepare lunch.

However, he did not know when Xu Nanjin would come out of her room.

He called out, “Xiao Ke, are you free? Can you come over and help Daddy?”

Xiao Ke immediately answered happily, “Daddy, I’m here.”

She opened the door and walked out. Unexpectedly, Xu Nanjin followed behind her.

The lipstick marks on her face had been wiped clean. There were still drops of water on her face, like dews on a hibiscus.

She walked into the kitchen, not knowing where to put her eyes when she thought about what had just happened.

“Let me help too. What do you want me to do?”

Xu Mo looked at her and said, “Why don’t you wash the rice and cook it? I’ll do the rest.”

Who wouldn’t know how to do such a small thing?

Xu Nanjin nodded and started working.

Looking at the measuring cup, she didn’t know how much to get, but she didn’t want Xu Mo to feel that she didn’t know anything.

She poured eight cups of water, then began to wash the rice.

This step she knew very well. She smoothly washed the rice and put it into the rice cooker.

Closing the lid, she said cheerfully, “I’m done.”

Xu Mo turned around and plugged in the power without a word. He pressed the start button.

Xu Nanjin was speechless.

To save her dignity, she smiled awkwardly. “Actually, I know I have to do this…”

Xu Mo smiled and nodded. He said gently, “Yes, I know.”

His smile was like a ray of sunshine. Xu Nanjin felt warm and secretly blushed.

Was he always so nice to everyone? Did he always smile so prettily?

When he glanced over, he had eyes only for her.

Xiao Ke was washing tomatoes and ended up playing.

Her small hands flapped in the water, sending up a spray.

The tomatoes bobbed in the water, driven by her.

Xu Mo scooped up the tomatoes and said gently, “Do you know how to crack eggs? Can you help Daddy crack two eggs?”

Xiao Ke blinked and looked at her mother.

Xu Nanjin felt that her chance to perform had come. She said enthusiastically, “I’ll do it.”

She took the bowl and chopsticks. Xiao Ke was already holding two eggs.

The kitchen was large enough for three people to stand inside.

Xu Mo was cutting vegetables when he saw Xu Nanjin holding Xiao Ke’s hand and cracking eggs. It was very heartwarming.

The family life he had looked forward to suddenly became a reality.

The cooking process was very pleasant. Xu Nanjin didn’t seem to be angry anymore.

When he fried the meat, oil splashed out.

Xu Mo leaned to the side and happened to touch her.

Xu Nanjin turned around and realized that oil was flying everywhere. She quickly picked up her apron to block it.

This heartwarming action made Xu Mo extremely happy.

It didn’t take long to cook three dishes.

The only thing that tested his level was the stir-fried beef with celery. Xu Mo had cooked this dish many times in the past, and it was very successful.

One only needed to look at the online tutorials to make steamed eggs tender and delicious.

The tomato, mushroom, and tofu soup was even simpler. Everything was fresh, and the soup was delicious.

It was their first official meal at home, and they were all smiling.

Xu Mo turned on the rice cooker. He did not expect it to be full. They would probably have to continue eating tomorrow.

After serving the food, Xu Mo said, “Let’s eat.”

After the first bite, Xu Nanjin picked up a piece of meat for him. “Xu Mo, you’ve worked hard.”

“Not at all. I have to eat anyway.”

As Xiao Ke ate the steamed egg, she muttered, “It’s really delicious. I want some more.”

When Xu Mo heard this, he happily scooped two spoonfuls for her.

He was especially happy to see how much his daughter liked it.

Xu Nanjin lowered her head to eat. She suddenly remembered the situation in the live-stream yesterday and her heart sank.

Today she had to find a chance to go out.

Xu Mo saw that she was in a daze and did not eat much.

He put a piece of beef to her lips to test if she was distracted.

Her eyes shifted and her mouth opened to bite.

Xu Mo moved the chopsticks and she leaned over.

They were getting closer, almost touching faces…

Xu Nanjin suddenly came to a realization and looked at Xu Mo.

Although she was a little flustered, she felt that since she was already like this, she might as well eat the meat first.

However, Xu Mo’s hand trembled and his head suddenly moved forward. Xu Nanjin kissed his face.

Both of them were stunned and momentarily at a loss.

Xu Nanjin felt her heart beating like thunder and her face burning. She must be blushing again.

‘I-I-I-I don’t think there’s anything wrong with kissing your legal husband, is there?’

Xu Mo was stunned for a few seconds. The feeling just now was so special.

Her kiss was soft and fragrant. Her face was still wet.

Xiao Ke looked up just in time to see what had just happened.

She asked softly, “Daddy, did Mommy kiss you just now?

“Congratulations. You’re like me. Mom kisses me all the time.”

Xu Mo nodded. “Is that so? Did I level up?”

She said sweetly, “That’s right. Mommy only kissed me, and now there’s Daddy.”

As expected of the wife the system had recognized. It seemed that she had not found anyone else after they separated.

Xu Nanjin was extremely shy. She lowered her head and quickly ate.

‘Daughter, I’ve let you talk about everything alone. What else can I say in the future?’

Xiao Ke added, “Daddy, Mommy kissed you. It’s not fair that you don’t kiss Mommy back. You have to kiss Mommy too.”

“Uh…” Xu Mo was speechless.

Although he was willing, the way Xu Nanjin ate was too serious. How could he make a move?

He waited for a long moment, unsure what to do.

Xiao Ke said, “Daddy, hurry up. Mommy can’t wait.”

Xu Nanjin thought to herself, ‘Daughter, even if you’ve seen through it, don’t say it out loud…’

The bowl of rice was long empty. She was eating air.

Since her daughter had said what was on her mind, she was going all out.

Straightening her back, closing her eyes, she said, “Come on.”

“…”

This made Xu Mo feel even more embarrassed.

Xiao Ke looked at him with bright eyes. “Hurry up, Daddy,” she urged. “Like me.”

She stood up, pouted, and kissed Xu Nanjin on the cheek.

Xu Mo put down his distracting thoughts and quickly kissed her face.

For some reason, his heart was beating a little fast. He quickly drank a mouthful of water to calm himself down.

Xu Nanjin opened her eyes and slipped into the room.

She closed the door and laughed silently.

Xu Mo had kissed her. This meant that he liked her.

Hahaha, she was going to have a sweet relationship too.

After dinner, Xu Mo cleaned up the dishes and did not see her come out.

Xiao Ke accompanied him to wash the dishes. They chatted and laughed in delight.

After a while, she said she was sleepy and went into her room.

Thinking that he had to work at night and wake up early in the morning, Xu Mo planned to take a nap.

He didn’t know how long he slept, but suddenly his nose felt itchy.

He sneezed and woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Ke standing beside him. She said in a childish voice, “Daddy, Mommy went out for something.”

“I will accompany you this evening.”
