Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 440 Lost

"What? You, Su Ying, this is how you treat me after I quit? Fine, you've got guts! We'll see about this. Don't come crying to me later, hmph!"

Mr. Xu left in a huff, and the two parted on bad terms.

To be honest, Su Ying wasn't sure either. Although Chef Xu's character wasn't great, his cooking skills were undeniable, especially his signature dishes, which brought many regular customers to Ruyi Restaurant. Now that he's gone, she didn't know what would happen in the future.

When she got home, Su Ying was exhausted and leaned on the sofa, not wanting to get up.

Shen Qingfeng was off today. Seeing this, he went around behind her and thoughtfully gave her a head massage. The doctor's technique was quite professional, and Su Ying felt more relaxed than ever before after just a few strokes.

"Because of the store?"

Su Ying sighed, "Our most outstanding chef is gone, and I'm worried about what to do next!"

"I believe you must have made a plan!"

Su Ying opened her eyes and looked at him. They had indeed lived together for four years, and he understood her so well.

"There are arrangements in place, but I can't guarantee anything. What if I end up ruining the restaurant's business today?"

"No, I believe you!"

Su Ying: “…”

No one had ever said such a thing to her except Shen Qingfeng.

With his encouragement, Su Ying seemed to cheer up all at once. Yes, so what if there is no head chef? She can't just let him lead her by the nose, can she?

"Mommy!"

Sweetie came out of the bedroom barefoot, holding a doll in her arms, climbed onto the sofa and snuggled into Su Ying's embrace.

Su Ying affectionately ruffled her hair, "What's wrong, Tian Tian? Aren't you going to sleep?"

"No, I want Mommy to sleep with me!" The little head snuggled into Su Ying's arms.

Su Ying and Shen Qingfeng both laughed.

"Okay, okay, Mommy will sleep with Tiantian!" Su Ying picked her up.

As she left, the little girl said to Shen Qingfeng, "Mommy will sleep with me tonight, and Daddy will take me to school tomorrow!"

So they even arranged a job for Shen Qingfeng!
Shen Qingfeng smiled indulgently, "Alright, Daddy will take you to school!"

He cherished this tranquil and peaceful life so much. Even though Su Ying's heart would never belong to him in this lifetime, being able to watch them so closely was a kind of happiness...

Today, the whole kindergarten visited the farm, and little Sweetie wanted to crawl into the closet to pick out clothes.

Su Ying: "This one, casual sportswear!"

The little girl shook her head, "Not pretty enough!"

Su Ying: "How about this one? A baseball cap can protect you from the sun!"

The little girl shook her head, "But it will trample on my braids!"

Su Ying was out of options.

In the end, the little girl chose her favorite puff-shirt and overalls, and Su Ying also prepared sunglasses and a water bottle for her.

When her daddy took her to school, the little girl was so happy she almost jumped for joy, and she introduced him to everyone she met as her daddy.

In the afternoon, after the children returned from their farm visit, the teachers led them across the road hand in hand in an orderly fashion.

The old man selling balloons next to them caught Tian Tian's attention. A gust of wind blew, and a few balloons flew away from the old man's hand. Tian Tian couldn't help but go and help him.

"Grandpa, let me help you!"

The little girl was too short and couldn't reach it no matter what she did, so she stomped her feet in frustration.

The old man chuckled and said, "Little girl, it's okay if you can't catch it. Thank you! Here, Grandpa will give you a balloon!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!" The little girl smiled and happily went to find the group.

Huh? Where are my teacher and classmates?
The little girl spun around in circles for a few times but couldn't see anyone she recognized. Oh no! She's lost!
It's okay, Mommy told her to stay calm when she encounters difficulties, use her brain to think of solutions, and she will definitely succeed.

The little girl tried to walk back, relying on her memory of where she came from, but the further she walked, the more unfamiliar the surroundings became. Where was she? She'd never seen this place before.

The little girl pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.

Just then, several men got out of a car not far away, and one of them caught her eye.

Several foreigners who had been waiting at the restaurant entrance warmly greeted Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen nodded to each of them, and then the group entered the restaurant together.

Sweetie bit her finger, rolled her eyes around, and then skipped and hopped towards the restaurant.

The restaurant's greeter was talking to a guest when something suddenly darted past his eyes. He rubbed his eyes, but there was nothing there.

Strange, he clearly saw something come in.

Xiao Shen crossed his legs and chatted fluently with his foreign friends. He was confident, composed, and poised, switching between various foreign languages ​​with ease, displaying an unparalleled charm.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended. Song Hao saw the foreign friends off, while Xiao Shen opened his notebook and began to handle official business on the spot.

Something tugged at his trouser leg.

At first, he thought it was his imagination, but the second time, he was sure there was something under the table and bent down to lift the tablecloth.

"Who?"

At that moment, I felt a tightness in my chest.

It turned out to be a very cute little girl!
"you……"

"Shh!" Sweetie put her index finger to her lips and winked at him. "Uncle, can you please not let anyone know that Sweetie is under the table?"

Xiao Shen: "..."

Wait a minute, hasn't he seen this girl somewhere before? Why does she look so familiar?
Sweetie, like a round little teddy bear, climbed out from under the table and even carefully patted the dust off her body.

Xiao Shen had never been around children before and didn't know what tone to use when talking to such a creature. He had heard that children were difficult to deal with, but when he thought that she was Su Ying's daughter, he couldn't help but become more interested.

"What about your elders?"

Sweetie pointed to her nose, "Is Uncle asking me? Oh, I got separated from my teachers and classmates, and I'm lost!"

Xiao Shen: "..." So he got lost. How careless of him!

So, do you need me to take you home?

"Um! It's not time for school to end yet. Handsome uncle, can you treat me to something to eat first?" Sweetie was very outgoing.

No sooner had she finished speaking than her stomach began to rumble.

The little girl clutched her stomach, her face flushed. "Sorry, I didn't eat enough for lunch!"

Xiao Shen unconsciously curled the corners of his lips and waved to the waiter, "Order form!"

"Handsome uncle, can I get a hamburger here?"

"Absolutely not!"

Sweetie was unhappy. "Then I won't eat here, I want a hamburger!"

Xiao Shen: "..." This little girl is quite picky.

Xiao Shen didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually let this girl do whatever she wanted and personally drove her to the hamburger shop.

"Handsome uncle, can I have this set meal?" Sweetie pointed to the menu.

Xiao Shen was very generous: "Of course!"

Because this package includes a gift.

Xiao Shen thought she would share the three-person set meal with him, but to his surprise, she devoured all three large hamburgers in the blink of an eye.

He was stunned. How could such a tiny creature eat so much? How did Su Ying raise it?
