After we broke up, my ex-girlfriend gave birth to a daughter.

Chapter 81 She loves you more than she loves herself

Soon, Shu Jingming returned to his residence with his daughter.

As soon as she entered the door, Mu Mu eagerly asked, "Daddy, how do you make a cake?"

"Let's take out three eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, like this."

Shu Jingming first demonstrated the technique, and then let his daughter try it herself.

Mu Mu has a strong learning ability and followed suit. Although her movements were not as skillful as Shu Jingming's, she was serious and focused enough.

"What happened after we separated?" the little girl asked, tilting her head back.

"After separating the eggs, add granulated sugar, corn oil, and milk to the egg yolks, and then stir quickly."

Shu Jingming mainly used oral instruction to help his daughter develop her practical skills.

With the father and daughter working together, they quickly made a soft and fluffy bread dough.

"Daddy, this cake looks so cute!" Mu Mu stared at the cake, her face full of joy.

Influenced by his daughter's happy mood, Shu Jingming smiled as well: "Mumu, what we're going to do next is make the cake even cuter. You can squeeze some cream on the cake, like you're drawing a picture."

"Can I draw?!"

Mu Mu's eyes lit up immediately. She usually liked to draw, but this was her first time drawing on a cake. She was a little nervous but more excited.

"Of course you can. You can draw whatever you want on the cake."

Shu Jingming first gave his daughter a simple lesson on how to use a piping bag, and then gave her different colored creams to let her use them freely.

After thinking about it carefully, Mu Mu finally decided to draw her mother on the cake.

She first drew Dai Qingning's face, then her eyebrows, eyes, and mouth, and finally her long hair and long dress.

Although Mu Mu's painting is simple, it contains her deep affection for Dai Qingning.

"Daddy, I've finished drawing!" Mu Mu shouted.

Shu Jingming praised, "Mumu, you drew Mommy so beautifully! I think Mommy will love this painting."

"Really?" Mu Mu asked uncertainly.

Shu Jingming nodded: "Of course it's true."

Silly boy, every line you draw is a testament to your deep love. How could Mommy not love you?

No matter how you paint it, she will treasure it, because she loves you more than she loves herself.

[Make a unique cake with your child. Task status: Completed]

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Shu Jingming's mind.

Immediately afterwards, 5,000 yuan was deposited into his account. In addition, he also received an item card called the "Musical Instrument Proficiency Selection Card".

Shu Jingming used the card on the spot, and then several options appeared in front of him.

Erhu, suona, piano, drum set, saxophone...

Among all the options, Shu Jingming ultimately chose the piano with the best cost performance.

The reason why the piano is considered to have the best value for money is because it appears very frequently in the many classic pieces he has mastered.

Learning to play the piano now is like unlocking the soundtracks for many songs all at once.

As Shu Jingming made his choice, a wealth of knowledge and skills about the piano suddenly appeared in his mind.

He had never touched a piano before, yet at this moment he seemed to have practiced thousands of times and knew everything about the piano.

Shu Jingming wasn't sure how good his piano skills were right now, but one thing was certain: he could easily play any piece of music in his head, and that alone was enough.

"Mumu, let's go back and celebrate Mother's Day with Mom."

Shu Jingming packed the cake away and then left the rented house with his daughter in his hand.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dai Qingning was sitting on the sofa making a video call to her mother.

"Mom, I bought you a set of skincare products online a couple of days ago. It just arrived at the courier station. Remember to pick it up when you have time. Happy Mother's Day!"

.

Like Shu Jingming, Dai Qingning had noticed early on that it was Mother's Day, and she specially prepared a gift for her mother who lived far away in the county town.

"Oh dear, I'm already so old, why would you buy me skincare products? It's just a waste of money."

Although Zhong Meijiao said that, she had a happy expression on her face.

"This isn't a waste of money, it's spending money to make Mom happy," Dai Qingning replied.

Without hesitation, Zhong Meijiao replied, "As long as you and Mumu are happy, Mom will be happy too."

"Speaking of which, where's Mumu? I haven't seen my dear granddaughter. Usually when we talk on the phone, she runs over to greet me."

Dai Qingning answered truthfully, "Mumu went out to buy groceries with her father early this morning and hasn't come back yet."

"I said I would go out with them, but they wouldn't let me go, telling me to stay home and rest."

"Then they must have gone to prepare a Mother's Day gift for you," Zhong Meijiao said, offering her guess.

"Xiao Shu is always very thoughtful. Last time I just casually mentioned his hometown, and the next day he brought over some local specialties."

"He must know about holidays like Mother's Day."

Dai Qingning nodded in agreement; she shared the same thought as her mother.

If it were just a regular grocery shopping trip, they should have been back by now; it's almost noon and we still haven't seen them.

They must be busy with other things.

"How are things between you and Xiao Shu? Have you forgiven him?" Zhong Meijiao asked again.

Every time she called, she would inquire about the relationship between the two children.

"We've made up," Dai Qingning answered truthfully.

Then, she told Zhong Meijiao everything that had happened during the May Day holiday.

"It's good that you've made up. Now your father and I can rest easy."

Chung Mei-Chiao was even happier to learn that her daughter and Shu Ching-Ming had reconciled than when she received skincare products.

This news was arguably the best gift she received on Mother's Day.

"The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner. Why don't you bring Xiao Shu and Mu Mu back for a visit then, so everyone can meet our son-in-law?" Zhong Meijiao suggested.

Dragon Boat Festival...

Dai Qingning flipped through the calendar and saw that this year's Dragon Boat Festival was on May 31st, which was right next to Children's Day.

"Okay, I'll talk to Shu Jingming about this later and see what he says. If there are no problems, we'll go back to celebrate the holiday."

Speak of the devil, and he appears; just as the mother and daughter were talking, the sound of a lock being opened came from outside the door.

"Mommy, Daddy and I are back!" Mu Mu skipped and hopped into the house.

She immediately noticed that Dai Qingning was making a video call, and the person on the other end was Zhong Meijiao.

"Grandma! I miss you so much!" Mu Mu immediately came closer to the camera to greet her.

"Mumu, Grandma misses you too." Zhong Meijiao said with a smile.

"Your mom said you and your dad went out to buy groceries early this morning, why did it take you so long to come back?"

"Because my dad and I went out to buy a gift for my mom, we came back a little late," Mu Mu answered truthfully.

Immediately afterwards, she turned her head and shouted towards the door, "Dad, come quick, let's give the gift to Mom."
