Chapter 354: 354 Good Morning Daddy_1

At six in the morning, Gu Chen’s biological clock promptly roused him from his dreams.

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

Gu Chen flexed his somewhat numb arm before sitting up on the bed.

Looking at his wife’s utterly sweet sleeping face, Gu Chen instantly felt re-energized for the new day ahead.

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

Seeing the lotus seeds that had been soaked from the night before and the washed glutinous rice, he nodded with satisfaction.

He turned on the stove and seamlessly combined the glutinous rice, lotus seeds, and goji berries in a clay pot.

After adding water and turning the gas to a low flame, he planned to let it simmer for thirty minutes.

Then he opened another burner to boil four eggs, one for him and one for his wife.

Sugar Sugar was still growing, so she needed an extra one for more nutrition.

Next, he heated a few buns, everything was just perfect.

With the kitchen tasks done, Gu Chen washed his hands and made his way over to his daughter’s bedroom.

Sugar Sugar was lying messily on the bed asleep, and Gu Chen squatted beside her, gently shaking her awake.

Seeing his daughter’s adorably cute appearance, Gu Chen truly wished he could let her sleep until she woke up naturally.

But then he remembered it was her first day of kindergarten.

It was mainly for registration, but being too late wouldn’t be appropriate.

With that thought, he felt quite relieved that he had only let his daughter attend a few interest classes in Haicheng previously.

Otherwise, changing kindergartens now would certainly be considered transferring.

"Daddy, good morning~"

Groggily, Sugar Sugar sat up in bed and mumbled this to Gu Chen.

At the sound of his daughter’s sweet voice, Gu Chen felt his heart nearly melt.

He then playfully scraped his finger across her small, delicate nose and said with a smile,

"Hurry up and get out of bed, the big bad wolf is coming to catch Little Red Riding Hood~"

As he said this, he tickled his daughter’s armpits, and father and daughter immediately began laughing and playing together in the room.

Then he started to help Sugar Sugar get dressed, looking at a closet full of various cute children’s outfits.

Gu Chen found it difficult to decide; he wasn’t very good at matching clothes, even though there was a pile of fashion magazines Ji Pianran had bought at home.

He originally planned to study them, but because he had been too busy lately, Gu Chen hadn’t had the chance to look at them yet.

However, luckily, even if he hadn’t eaten pork, he had seen pigs run.

Gu Chen stroked his chin, recalling carefully what his daughter wore every day, and immediately found a direction.

Imitating was always simple; in less than three minutes,

Gu Chen had found and put on his daughter the same outfit she had worn the day before.

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

Looking at his daughter instantly transformed, from a little sleepyhead to a cute little doll, Gu Chen felt an immense sense of achievement.

But speaking of which, one advantage of having a designer wife is that every one of his daughter’s outfits seemed to be meticulously matched.

Gu Chen thought he should really ask his wife for more advice when she was free.

She hoped that Tangtang would become the prettiest little red flower in the entire kindergarten.

"Daddy, come help me braid my hair," she said.

Gu Chen was nodding in agreement with the grand goal he had set for himself when,

his daughter, holding several little hairbands, bounced over to him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately burst into laughter and took the hairbands from his daughter’s pale little hands.

He then patted the stool in front of the dressing table and said confidently, "Tangtang, sit down and watch as Daddy shows off my unique talent for braiding hair!"

The moment his daughter heard this, she beamed with joy and promptly sat down beside Gu Chen,

eager to watch her father show off his skills.

Actually, this was Gu Chen’s first time braiding his daughter’s hair.

But as the old saying goes, once you’ve mastered one skill, you’ve mastered them all. Gu Chen had plenty of experience braiding garlic in the village.

Since his daughter’s hair was so soft, it was much easier to braid than garlic, and in just a short while,

Gu Chen had braided two neat and tidy pigtails for his daughter.

After taking care of everything on his daughter’s end, the father-daughter pair went to the dining room together.

Tangtang sat obediently in her own chair, while Gu Chen was busy bringing out the breakfast he had prepared from the kitchen.

It was at this time that his wife finally got out of bed.

Ji Pianran pushed open the bedroom door, saw the steaming breakfast, and looked at her daughter, who was neatly dressed.

She couldn’t help but feel touched and pulled Gu Chen over, whispering softly, "Husband, you’ve really worked hard."

"Hey, it’s nothing, just a small matter. For me, it’s as easy as pie. There’s nothing difficult about it," Gu Chen dismissed, waving his hand nonchalantly, his face full of smiles.

And Tangtang added sweetly, "Mom, Daddy is really amazing. The braids he did for me are even prettier than the ones you do."

Ji Pianran took a closer look and couldn’t help but feel surprised.

"Really, wow, I didn’t expect your braiding skills to be so good, husband."

Saying this, her demeanor became serious, and her big, watery eyes suddenly looked a bit reproachful.

"Come clean! Gu Chen, don’t tell me you have an old flame or childhood sweetheart you haven’t told me about. With braiding skills this proficient, you must have practiced on some girl, either the Xiao Fang from the neighboring village or the Yu Wei sister you met a few days ago."

Gu Chen couldn’t help but slap his forehead, thinking how off-track this was, but under his wife’s soft attack,

he quickly surrendered while protesting his innocence.

"I didn’t, I swear, stop making things up. There’s no Xiao Fang or Yu Wei sister. My heart, with its left ventricle home to my beautiful and undefeatable wife, and the right ventricle home to my lovely and lively daughter, has no room for anyone else even if they wanted to."

As he said this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but laugh, then leaned over to kiss his wife on her soft, fair cheek.

"My talent for braiding hair comes from Garlic Girl. Why don’t you think back to the braids of garlic hanging by our house’s rafters and see if they don’t resemble our daughter’s hairstyle?"

"Oh stop it, be serious. Since when do you compare your own daughter’s hair to garlic?"

Though they had been married for years, such affectionate behavior in front of their daughter still made her cheeks flush slightly, especially when Gu Chen compared her and their daughter to his left and right ventricles.

Feeling incredibly sweet inside, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

Then she turned and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
