Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 391 - 381: A Love Letter

Huang Tao drove the car and brought Xuanxuan to the entrance of Golden Sun Kindergarten.

Ye Wen was already standing at the gate, wearing her red duty armband!

Her jet-black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and she wore a beige mid-length down jacket, paired with a light blue turtleneck wool sweater and dark brown jeans, with black high boots on her feet.

Casual, but with a kind of lazy beauty.

"Teacher Ye!"

Just out of the car, Xuanxuan rushed forward and hugged Ye Wen’s long legs.

Ye Wen’s lips curved into a gentle smile, she slightly bent down, and reached out to gently rub Xuanxuan’s little head with the cashmere hat, softly saying, "Good morning, Xuanxuan. Did you miss me during the couple of days off at home?"

"Missed you~ Missed you a lot!"

Xuanxuan lifted her rosy little face, blinking her lively big eyes, her thick and curly lashes flickering as she looked at Ye Wen excitedly.

Ye Wen, seeing her cute and beautiful little face, couldn’t help but reach out and touch Xuanxuan’s delicate little nose, laughingly responding, "The teacher missed you a lot too~"

Xuanxuan smiled with crescent-shaped eyes, "Hee hee~"

Ye Wen was moved, and as she turned her head to look at Huang Tao, who was walking over, she unexpectedly met his gaze.

Huang Tao didn’t show the slightest panic, smiling as he greeted her, "Good morning, Teacher Ye!"

"Good morning, Mr. Xuan!"

Her pretty face involuntarily blushed a little; subconsciously avoiding eye contact, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and shyly responded.

She couldn’t handle the way Huang Tao looked at her.

Her heart was beating rapidly!

But the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve into an alluringly pleasant smile.

Then immediately she restrained it, though the smile never completely faded away. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

For some reason, even the cold wind felt gentle.

Huang Tao didn’t notice Ye Wen’s unusual expression, instead, he squatted down while helping Xuanxuan put on her little backpack and small thermos, reminding her, "Baby, go to school with Teacher Ye. Daddy will come to pick you up in the afternoon. Be sure to listen to the teacher at kindergarten, okay?"

Xuanxuan nodded obediently: "Okay."

Huang Tao patted her little cheek, "Good girl!"

Then he stood up and looked at Teacher Ye, saying, "Teacher Ye, I leave Xuanxuan in your hands."

Ye Wen smiled warmly, reaching out to hold Xuanxuan’s small hand, "Sure, after I finish receiving the children, I’ll take her to the classroom, it might be a bit late."

Huang Tao smiled, "No problem, thank you."

"Not at all, you’re welcome..."

Ye Wen smiled gently, "See you in the afternoon."

"Okay."

As Huang Tao was about to turn and leave, he suddenly remembered something.

He took out a folded note that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to Ye Wen, "Oh, by the way, Teacher Ye, this is..."

Hmm?

Could this be a love letter?

Before Huang Tao could finish speaking, Ye Wen’s imagination ran wild, and she couldn’t help but feel excited inside.

When she heard Huang Tao say it was the list of ingredients to prepare for New Year’s Day, her heart plummeted from the clouds to the valley like a rollercoaster.

Ah!

So she had misunderstood!

She showed an awkward but polite smile, took the note, and assured him she would purchase the ingredients as listed.

They chatted for a bit!

Thinking of today’s new dishes, Huang Tao politely said, "I’ll be going, Teacher Ye. If you have time after work this afternoon, you can come to the restaurant. We have a new dish, Yu-shiang vegetarian eel shreds, which you can try."

Hearing the name of the new dish, Ye Wen’s stomach grumbled against her will.

"Mm-hmm, I’ll be there after work this afternoon."

It must be delicious!

She bit her lip and softly said, "Be careful on the road."

"Thank you!"

Huang Tao waved goodbye to Xuanxuan and turned to leave.

Many mothers and little girls were watching Huang Tao until he got into the car, then they quietly withdrew their gazes.

Ye Wen turned to look at Xuanxuan beside her, softly asking, "Xuanxuan, would you like to go to the classroom first or stay here with me?"

"Hmm~"

Xuanxuan blinked her beautiful big eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I’d better stay with you, Teacher Ye!"

Then pretending to be a little grown-up, she said with a worried look, "Ah, if I’m not here with you, I just won’t feel assured."

Her expression amused Ye Wen immediately.

Ye Wen nodded in agreement, letting Xuanxuan stay by her side, and they moved to stand by the sunshade of the security booth together.

This position was perfect for sheltering from the wind.

A parent brought their child over.

"Qiqi, good morning!"

Ye Wen smiled and took Qiqi from Qiqi’s mother’s hands.

Qiqi’s mother looked at Ye Wen with some curiosity: "Teacher Ye, is there something good happening?"

This question left Ye Wen momentarily stupefied.

She looked surprised: "Huh?"

"I just saw you smiling so happily, Teacher Ye, and got curious, that’s all," Qiqi’s mother said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wen’s pretty face turned red.

Of course, she knew why she was so happy.

Because Huang Tao had specifically invited her to his store this afternoon to taste his new dishes.

However, talking about it, was her smile really that obvious?

Of course.

She certainly wouldn’t admit it in front of others.

She just smiled and said, "Qiqi’s mother, it’s nothing really, I just thought of something happy, and that’s why I’m smiling so happily."

"I see! Well, I’ll head back now, Teacher Ye, you take care..."

Qiqi’s mother nodded and reminded her daughter, "Qiqi, remember to listen to the teachers at school, okay?"

Qiqi nodded obediently: "Mom, don’t worry, I will be a good listener to the teachers."

Seeing this, Qiqi’s mother turned around and left at ease.

Qiqi turned her head towards Xuanxuan and asked, "Xuanxuan, do you want to come with me to the classroom? I bought some candy!"

Xuanxuan was unmoved and shook her little head, "No, I promised to accompany Teacher Ye, and children should keep their promises."

"Oh, okay then, I’ll go in first."

Xuanxuan and Ye Wen watched Qiqi’s figure disappear at the school gate.

...

Huang Tao was driving towards West City Old Street.

Although the sun was out, the weather was still cold.

Riders on bicycles and electric scooters on the roadside were hunched against the cold wind.

Huang Tao sat in the car, with the heater on, not affected at all, feeling quite comfortable!

It’s indeed comfortable to have a car.

At least you don’t have to suffer from sun or rain, or be tormented by the cold wind.

He arrived at the store entrance.

After parking the car, Huang Tao saw Chen Weihao delivering pork.

When Chen Weihao saw Huang Tao, he greeted enthusiastically, "Boss Huang, you’re back. I brought the pork you asked for, have a look."

Huang Tao opened the bag and took a glance, very satisfied: "Hmm, as good as always!"

"For your order, we naturally have to send the best."

Chen Weihao pointed to a small bag beside it and said, "Oh, by the way, Boss Huang, this small bag of meat is for you too."

"This isn’t appropriate."

Huang Tao glanced at it.

These were two pieces of second-cut meat, weighing over two pounds!

Chen Weihao scratched his head and said, "It’s just some leftover bits, usually for ourselves or friends, not worth much, please don’t mind~"

You’re calling this leftover bits?

These are clearly two whole pieces of meat!

Second-cut meat is from the pig’s hind leg, and it’s quite a good cut!

Of course, Huang Tao appreciated the gesture, but the reason seemed far-fetched.

But since Chen Weihao insisted on giving it, Huang Tao, with no good way to refuse such insistence, had to accept it.

When Old Wang and Chen Weihao come to the store for a meal, he’ll just give them a discount.

In the exchange of favors, the gifts may not be costly, but they bring comfort to each other’s hearts.

At this time, other vendors also delivered the ingredients Huang Tao needed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Huang Tao, they started moving the ingredients.

Jiang Guowei, seeing this, immediately joined in to help move the ingredients into Delicious Restaurant.

Honestly, he wasn’t this diligent even when moving things into his own convenience store!

But when it came to helping Huang Tao, he was very enthusiastic!

Chen Wenli watched from the side, feeling quite pleased.

Huang Tao left them some food every day, so they helped Huang Tao back.

That’s what brings comfort to the heart!
