Chapter 410: Four hundred and ten Very angry_1

By the time he had finally soothed their daughter to sleep, and had tucked her in properly, he emerged from the room.

Gu Chen then went down to the living room on the first floor to see if his wife was still around.

To his surprise, he discovered Ji Pianran had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

This made him both laugh and cry; of course, when it came to stamina, his wife simply couldn’t compare to him.

It was quite normal for her to feel tired after playing outside for so long today.

Seeing this, Gu Chen couldn’t help but kiss her smooth forehead and helped her out of her overcoat.

He reached out to lift her in a horizontal carry, turned around, and walked towards the bathroom.

He swore to the heavens that at first, there wasn’t a single inappropriate thought in Gu Chen’s mind.

He simply thought that his wife must be very tired after being out and about for most of the day.

So he intended to give her a nice bath, nothing more.

But it’s hard to ignore Ji Pianran’s great figure, which led Gu Chen to become sidetracked while washing her.

In the end, due to his vigorous motions, his wife also woke up from her sleep.

A storm of weak, flailing punches was, of course, inevitable.

If she felt she was lacking just a bit in the morning, Ji Pianran was now completely pliant.

She felt that Gu Chen’s energy was simply too abundant; she decided to let him do as he pleased.

The next morning.

When the Donald Duck alarm clock by the bed began its whimsical dance, Ji Pianran finally woke up at this moment.

Not to disappoint her daughter’s intent, she eventually placed the music box on her bedside table.

Even Gu Chen later got an idea and modified it a bit with his tools.

Replacing the handle with a clock escapement and adding a few transmission shafts, it turned into a makeshift alarm clock.

If at first it was merely a decorative item, after his modifications,

Ji Pianran finally fulfilled her promise to her daughter—to wake up and go to sleep each day,

being able to see Donald Duck dancing on her bedside table first thing...

Facing this playful "little invention," Gu Chen was very proud.

And Ji Pianran just wanted to smack him.

Afterward, she sat on the bed in a daze for a while until her spirits returned.

That’s when she realized that her silk nightgown from last night

had somehow been thrown on top of the wardrobe by Gu Chen.

Wrapped in the blanket, it took Ji Pianran a considerable effort to finally reach her dress.

As she washed up in the bathroom, she contemplated whether or not she should just bite him to death later.

It wasn’t until after she had applied her skincare products that she suddenly realized,

she didn’t have just that one nightgown, so why did she just go through all that effort?

So annoying, really so annoying.

Ji Pianran thought maybe she should just give away such a husband; she felt no love anymore.

She brooded for a while but eventually went downstairs.

However, when she saw the dining table downstairs now laden with a rich breakfast,

her adorable daughter sat politely by the table, holding a little spoon, waiting for her to join for the meal.

Gu Chen was aproned, with thick gloves on, presenting a pot of her favorite soup from the kitchen,

the rich aroma was enough to tantalize anyone’s taste buds at just a whiff.

And upon seeing her, Gu Chen immediately flashed a sunny and radiant smile.

"Honey, come and eat quickly, why are you still standing there?"

"Mommy, good morning~"

Tangtang also sweetly smiled and said to her.

Seeing such a warm scene, Ji Pianran’s irritation instantly dissipated by more than half.

First she patted her daughter’s little head and then threw Gu Chen a disgruntled glance.

She decided to note down the incident that had upset her in the morning for later.

As for settling the score, well, that could wait for another time.

Gu Chen scratched his head in confusion, utterly clueless about what had just unfolded.

He felt that his wife’s mood was like the weather in July, suddenly turning for no apparent reason.

And then just as inexplicably, it cleared up again, truly baffling.

Sitting at the table with chopsticks in hand, Gu Chen calmly analyzed the situation.

In the end, he concluded that Ji Pianran’s behavior must be the legendary "morning grumpiness."

The main reason was probably that she thought the bedroom curtains weren’t big enough, allowing streaks of light to seep through every morning.

He resolved that when he had some free time today, he must remember to buy new curtains!

Having figured out the reason, Gu Chen’s mood immediately became very cheerful.

After breakfast, as usual, Gu Chen watched his wife go to work.

He then got ready to take his daughter with him to his store for a visit.

Naturally, leaving Tangtang alone at home was not an option.

Tangtang was immediately excited upon hearing that there were now two sisters at Gu Chen’s store who could play with her.

She was so happy she even urged her dad to take her there quickly.

Qiwei Vegetarian had closed for a day yesterday and would normally open again today.

However, since Gu Chen hadn’t prepared his buns yet, it might have to wait until the afternoon at the earliest.

Luckily, his shop had no shortage of returning customers every day; he never worried about selling out.

So he wasn’t in a hurry and decided to go shopping at the market first.

It wasn’t that he was running out of ingredients, but after developing the new drink Xunxian Brew last time,

Gu Chen felt it was time to develop some new dishes.

After all, having every customer pairing buns with alcohol seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

While dumplings could be promoted with the catchphrase "the more you drink, the better they taste,"

for buns and alcohol, even if Gu Chen made up a catchy slogan on the spot, he doubted anyone would believe it.

Before long, the villa’s gates slowly opened, and Gu Chen drove out with Tangtang.

Though it was still early, the market was already bustling with people.

As a regular there, Gu Chen had easily become a familiar face.

Many vendors showed great enthusiasm when they saw the boss who liked to buy in bulk.

And with the addition of the adorable Tangtang this time, everyone was even more fond of them.

During their rounds, Gu Chen hadn’t even decided what to buy yet,

but one vendor gave Tangtang a few persimmons and another picked out a couple of pears for her.

In the end, Gu Chen ended up with two large bags full of food given to him for free.

And these market vendors, who would usually look forward to charging Gu Chen extra,

were now all voluntarily dropping their prices because of Tangtang’s presence.

This left him somewhat amused yet baffled; he had never imagined that one day, even grocery shopping could benefit from his daughter’s charm.
