"Oh, alright then. I'll cook the porridge first and then the three eggs." Xia Lan muttered as she went to get the eggs from the fridge.

"Oh, okay." Xia Lan replied very quickly. From the sound of it, she was already rummaging through the refrigerator.

"Oh, okay." Xia Lan's reply was still as natural as before, as if the husband and wife were discussing what things they needed to make up for their lack of family members.

When it was about time, Gu Xi Jue went upstairs to call Xiao Ze.

Usually, getting Xiao Ze to wake up was the most troublesome challenge, but today, Gu Xi Jue was completely confident that he could wake him up immediately.

Pushing the door open, he saw Xiao Ze sprawled on the bed, with her blanket kicked down to his feet.

Gu Xi Jue had already known that his sleeping posture had always been like this, so he adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to a suitable temperature every day.

"Xiao Ze, wake up." Gu Xi Jue shouted for him.

"..." There was no reaction, not even a slight change in his sleeping posture.

Gu Xi Jue walked forward and patted Xiao Ze's chubby little face: "Xiao Ze, wake up."

Xiao Ze rolled his body, and haggled lazily: "Daddy, sleep a bit more …"

"Auntie Xia Lan is making breakfast for you downstairs …" Gu Xi Jue purposely said those words as if he was saying it, then stood by the bedside and looked at him calmly.

As expected, the originally lazy sheep, Xiao Ze, immediately turned over and opened his shiny black eyes, as he looked at Gu Xi Jue in surprise. "Daddy, you didn't lie to me, right?"

"It's fine if you don't believe me, but don't get up and go back to sleep. After I eat dinner with Auntie Xia Lan, we'll go to work." After Gu Xi Jue finished speaking, without giving him any more response, he turned around and walked out of his room.

Xiao Ze laid on the bed and thought about it. He saw that his father was very serious, it did not look like he was fake.

After rolling a few rounds on the bed, he immediately got up and dressed himself.

After dressing himself, he went downstairs. Smelling the familiar fragrance of rice, Xiao Ze jogged all the way to the kitchen. Seeing that Xia Lan was indeed there, he happily rushed over.

"Beautiful auntie, you're really here!" I thought Daddy was lying to me to get me up. "

"Have you washed your hands? It's time to eat." Xia Lan crouched down and kissed Xiao Ze's forehead.

Xiao Ze laughed and nodded, then said: "Wa, if every morning I have beautiful auntie's morning kiss, I would be too happy."

Xia Lan laughed, and did not say anything else. There were some relationships that cannot be crossed over. She liked Xiao Ze, but she could not give him that much.

Thus, she would not make any reckless promises.

During breakfast, Xiao Ze asked while eating: "Beautiful auntie, why did you suddenly come to make breakfast for me?"

Gu Xi Jue shot a glance at his son. He was really too happy to see him, so he did not have the heart to tell him the truth.

"It's all because of your father." Xia Lan complained and looked at Gu Xi Jue unhappily. It was as if she was saying that she did not want to come at all.

Gu Xi Jue pointed at the injured one with his good hand: "Don't forget how I got hurt."

"I didn't forget …" Xia Lan was speechless.

"But, I woke up before dawn this morning and I don't have a car to drive here. Gourmet, can't you get over your breakfast?" Xia Lan lowered his posture and pleaded.

"How can I overcome it?" Gu Xi Jue glanced at her indifferently, with a look that he really didn't know how to overcome.

"There are a lot of places to sell breakfast. You can even cook in your private restaurant for dinner, is that also fine with breakfast?" Xia Lan asked.

Gu Xi Jue firmly shook his head: "I already said, I can, Xiao Ze can't, breakfast is very important to children, your family has no children, so you don't know about it … …"

Xia Lan's expression changed. Only now did she mention that her child died right after being born.

He spoke too quickly, and forgot about it in that moment. Seeing her tensed expression, Gu Xi Jue realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Gu Xi Jue also didn't know what was going on with him. Normally, he would think twice before speaking in a very cautious manner. But when facing Xia Lan, he was able to let go of his restraints and become very casual, very casual.

He didn't even think about talking anymore.

"I forgot …" Gu Xi Jue didn't know how to apologize. It seemed that no matter what he said, he looked pale in the face.

Xia Lan laughed, which was so laughable that it turned pale, "It's fine, I don't care."

Do you really not care? Gu Xi Jue looked into her eyes, grief written all over his face.

Her past must have hurt her, he thought, which was why any mention of it made her so sad.

"Next time, I'll pay attention." Gu Xi Jue promised solemnly.

"Beautiful auntie, you can live in my house. Why are you running around? Aren't you tired?" Xiao Ze looked at her with his pair of shiny, black eyes.

Soon after, Xiao Ze looked at Gu Xi Jue again, "Father, don't you think so?

"Or …" Xiao Ze suddenly laughed wickedly: "Or maybe beautiful auntie can sleep in my room."

"Huh?" Xia Lan looked at Xiao Ze and Gu Xi Jue in shock.

What she meant was, could she not make breakfast for them? She didn't want to stay at all!

She looked towards Gu Xi Jue, afraid that he would mistake this for her.

"Un, I think this method is possible. There are a lot of rooms, you can pick any you want." Gu Xi Jue nodded his head, agreeing with Xiao Ze's words. He acted very naturally, with a calm expression, he did not let Xia Lan think too much into it.

Afraid that Xia Lan would refuse, Gu Xi Jue immediately threatened in a low voice: "Xia Lan, I'm injured because of you, you have to be responsible for me!"

"... Gourmet, do you have to be so serious? " Xia Lan felt a little guilty, the word "responsible" really sounded very formal.

"Otherwise?" Gu Xi Jue squinted his eyes and asked.

Xia Lan was so shocked that she immediately shut her mouth. If he continued, there was no guarantee that Gourmet would say anything.

"As long as it's not my room, you can pick any other." Gu Xi Jue repeated himself.

Just like this, for convenience's sake, in order to save time and his own sleep, Xia Lan agreed to stay at home. But she did not stay in the guest room, because Xiao Ze's bed was big enough, she stayed at the same room as Xiao Ze.

After dinner, when they were preparing to leave, Gu Xi Jue suddenly said: "It seems that you don't want to stay any longer."

"Why?"
