After picking up Ying Bao, Xu Xiyan went to the market and bought many fresh ingredients before returning to Shengshi Yujing.

She planned to make a nutritious steamboat in the evening. After returning to her apartment, Xu Xiyan let Ying Bao play in the living room and went to the kitchen to make bone soup.

The bone soup contained a lot of calcium which was helpful to the recovery of Huo Yunshen’s leg bones. She had also added several valuable Chinese medicinal herbs into the soup to strengthen the effect.

At about five o’clock in the afternoon, the soup was ready. Xu Xiyan began to prepare the ingredients for the steamboat.

While she was in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Thinking that it must be Huo Yunshen, Xu Xiyan told Ying Bao to go open the door.

Ying Bao hopped down from the sofa and ran to the door with her little bare feet cheerfully. She opened the door, then blinked her large eyes. “Uncle Tree-leaf?”

Ye Xun did not expect to see Ying Bao at her mother’s place today. He bent over and picked her up. “Oh, my dear daughter is here! Did you miss daddy?”

Ying Bao thought for a while before answering him earnestly, “Erm... a little I guess.”

Ye Xun deliberately teased her as he carried the little girl into the house, “Why only a little? Who did you miss very much then?”

Ying Bao tilted her little head as she replied, “Uncle Dimples.”

Ye Xun placed Ying Bao gently standing on the sofa and looked at her. “It was Huo Sanyan who forced me to come. It’s not like I wanted to.”

Ye Xun had to make up an excuse because Xu Xiyan had been treating him indifferently all this while, despite his having apologized to her many times.

“Well, okay. Help yourself then.”

Xu Xiyan left it at that. If Ye Xun could turn over a new leaf and refrain from interfering with her and Huo Yunshen, they could still continue their friendship as senior brother and junior sister.

Otherwise, no one could blame her for being heartless.

Ye Xun caught a whiff of the food’s fragrance in the air and let his nose lead him to the source. “Mmm, it smells so good. What delicious foods have you cooked up?”

He craned his neck into the kitchen and noticed plates and plates of various ingredients on the table. “Wow, are you making steamboat? Looks like this is my lucky day!”

“They’re not for you. You can leave now.”

Xu Xiyan had specially prepared it for Huo Yunshen. She did not want Ye Xun to enjoy it.

“...” Ye Xun was momentarily speechless. In order to stay around, he shamelessly used Ying Bao as an excuse. “I can’t leave. My daughter doesn’t want me to go. I have to stay and play with her.”

Ying Bao chimed in unexpectedly, “It’s okay, Uncle Tree-leaf. Baby doesn’t need your company. I can play by myself.”

Ye Xun: “...” Damn it...
