The moment he entered, he heard a shout like a lioness’s roar: "Lin Xiao!"
Luo Qinghan’s voice came from the second floor. She gripped the handrail and glared fiercely at the two of them.
Lin Xiao gave a sheepish smile, "This time, I made it low oil and low spice. Just one bite, it's fine!"
"You, come up here!"
Luo Qinghan shot him another glare, clearly furious.
Out of respect for women, and for his wife, Lin Xiao, with a forced smile, grabbed a skewer of meat and hurried upstairs.
Xun’er looked at the skewer in her hand. She glanced at her furious mother, swallowed, and then quickly took a bite.
As she took the bite, the little girl’s face was filled with contentment.
"Look at you!"
Luo Qinghan snatched the grilled skewer from Lin Xiao’s hand, "The child is still young! You should give her less of this salty and oily food, or she’ll become nutritionally imbalanced!"
Her tone was accusatory, though much softer now.
"I know, that's why I made a light version..." Lin Xiao chuckled awkwardly. "Since she can't eat it, we'll eat it ourselves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qinghan began devouring the skewers.
"..."
Seeing Luo Qinghan’s actions, Lin Xiao’s mind raced. Was his wife angry because he only bought skewers for their daughter and not for her?
With that thought, he noticed how swiftly Luo Qinghan was eating, and he was almost certain. He immediately sent a secret message to Ye Chen, telling him to hurry and order more skewers online.
"Um, wife, how about leaving me one?" Lin Xiao said hurriedly, watching her demolish the skewers as if seeking revenge, leaving only two.
"No."
Luo Qinghan showed no signs of stopping, "This is your punishment!"
"Okay..."
Lin Xiao’s mouth twitched. Was this what they called punishment?
Later, when Ye Chen returned with a large order of barbecue, Luo Qinghan glared at Lin Xiao again. After coaxing Xun’er to sleep, she, Lin Xiao, and Ye Chen ate heartily in the dining room.
His wife was definitely angry because he hadn't bought her a portion.
Late at night, after their nightly ablutions, Lin Xiao looked at Xun’er, already asleep in their large bed. He turned to Luo Qinghan, expressing his confusion, "Why is Xun’er sleeping here?"
"She insisted on sleeping with Daddy and Mommy, I couldn't help it," Luo Qinghan spread her hands, "It's such a small request from the child, let's grant it."
In the past few years, Xun’er had suffered too much unfair treatment. She instinctively wanted to compensate her. For something this small, they should indulge her.
"That makes sense."
Lin Xiao nodded. Wearing his bathrobe, he didn't get into bed immediately. He sat by the bed, looking at his daughter, his face filled with doting affection, "From now on, she is my little princess."
"Then, when will you give me back a complete courtship?" Luo Qinghan asked as she walked past Lin Xiao.
"Every day, starting from today."
Lin Xiao said earnestly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone vibrated.
He ignored it, but then it vibrated again, in quick succession.
"You have a message."
Luo Qinghan handed Lin Xiao his phone from the bedside table, glancing at it casually.
