The pasta was cooked perfectly, neither soft nor hard, with chewy texture, and the gravy from the Sautéed Beef Filet with Black Pepper was infused in every piece of pasta . With just one bite, one can smell the overflowing fragrant of meat and taste an explosion of flavor .
“Delicious!” Xixi shouted . The little girl’s table manners didn’t look as good as her Mama’s . There was also a piece of meat sauce, that flew out from the pasta, on her forehead, but she wasn’t aware of it .
Mo Fei was very reserved . Although it’s delicious, she still maintained an elegant posture . She just looked at Yang Yi in surprise, then gathered her hair, lowered her head, and tasted it slowly .
Yang Yi couldn’t help smiling . He went to get a towel, wiped the little girl’s face, and said softly, “Don’t worry, no one will steal it from you . You’re eating like a big tabby cat!”
“Quick, quick!” Xixi couldn’t help but wiggle her little butt . She couldn’t wait to continue eating .
Mo Fei looked at the interaction between the father and daughter, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curl up slightly . This kind of warmth seemed like a cloud of smoke, lingering in her heart .
After Mo Fei slowly finished eating, Yang Yi pushed the fruit salad forward and asked with a smile, “How is it? It’s good, right?”
Yang Yi was very confident about his cooking skills .
Mo Fei gave Yang Yi a supercilious look . It could be said that the supercilious look of the iceberg goddess could immediately melt snow and ice, and looked like a hundred of flowers blooming, which is very charming . But Mo Fei didn’t want to praise him, so as to avoid Yang Yi from being smug!
However, Mo Fei couldn’t help but wonder and asked, “Where did you learn to cook western food?”
Yang Yi knew that Mo Fei would ask this question sooner or later, so he had already prepared the answer . He said calmly, “Haven’t I traveled all around the country for many years, worked as a security guard and worked as a waiter? I stole it from a master at a hotel . ” (TN: Stole here is like secretly learning it . )
Mo Fei didn’t have enough life experience . How would she know that this reason is really nonsense – where can one learn cooking by stealing it? She naively believed it .

At the same time, Mo Fei also felt compassionate, inexplicably sympathized with Yang Yi’s hardships over the years . She almost couldn’t hold back shedding a tear . She murmured slightly, “Then why didn’t you come to me…”
“What?” Yang Yi was helping Xixi clean up the mess . There were pastas that fell on the table while the little girl was eating .
“Nothing!” Mo Fei, trying to hide her emotions, pretended to be unhappy and asked, “Why haven’t you cooked for me before?”
Speaking of this, Mo Fei felt she has been wronged!
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment, and a sense of irritability arose spontaneously in his heart . It was an emotion from the memory of his predecessor: “You haven’t stayed with me for a whole day . No, not even for half a day . How could I have any chance to cook for you?”
Yang Yi finally ask a question that he couldn’t ask before: “Didn’t you despise me?”
“I was very busy…” Mo Fei pursed her lips and didn’t know how to respond . In fact, she didn’t despise Yang Yi, and also, she didn’t have time to get along with Yang Yi before, and the previous Yang Yi had no idea how bad his temper was!
With that kind of misconception, Mo Fei felt that she would suffocate if she stayed with the former Yang Yi even for a short time!
Now she didn’t know why, Yang Yi has changed a lot . Although he still has a bad temper, he has done a lot of things that he would never touch before, such as western food and coffee, these foods that came from abroad . And Yang Yi firmly believes that these things are spiritual opium! (TN: Spiritual opium – things that influence people mindsets . Just like a drug . In this case western culture affecting Chinese culture . )
Now, Mo Fei feels much more comfortable getting along with the present Yang Yi .
“Since you’ve learned how to cook, why don’t you open your own restaurant?” Mo Fei didn’t want to talk more about emotional topics, so she changed the topic .
Yang Yi frowned and said, “I don’t like being a chef and cooking . I just want to live a better life . ”

He glanced at Xixi and added, “Besides, I only want to cook for myself, and for the people I care about . ”
Well, that cheeky little fatty doesn’t count . At best, he eats the leftovers of Xixi .
Hearing Yang Yi’s “confession” – in Mo Fei’s view, Mo Fei’s heart was almost melted by Yang Yi! But suddenly, she remembered the things that had been on her mind .
“Oh, really? What did you cook for Little Kai’s mother?” Mo Fei could not control her grievances at this time and blurted it out .
Yang Yi was stupefied for a moment, and he said frankly, “I haven’t . ”
“What?”
“I haven’t cooked for her . ” Yang Yi was telling the truth .
“But you brought others in! Give others clothes to wear!” Mo Fei’s grievances broke out, and she felt that she would suffocate if she didn’t say these words .
Xixi, who was eating fruit, thought her mother was unhappy because of the clothes . She hurriedly took her mother’s hand and comforted: “Mama, don’t be angry . Little Kai’s Mama has returned Papa’s clothes!”
But how could Mo Fei be angry just because of clothes? She looked at Yang Yi stubbornly and wanted Yang Yi to give her an explanation .
However, Yang Yi felt that there was nothing to explain and said faintly: “Her feet were dirty, and there is no place for washing in the bathroom downstairs, so I just let her go upstairs and use the bathroom . ”
Of course, this explanation was not enough . Mo Fei turned her head and was dissatisfied with Yang Yi . (TN: Like this . Here)
Yang Yi has never dealt with this kind of emotional problem, and somewhat didn’t know what to do .

Instead, Xixi, who was standing on her chair and with her butt raised, eating fruits on the table, unintentionally murmured, “But Big Brother Kai doesn’t like to play with Xixi, and he doesn’t even come anymore . ”
Mo Fei pricked up her ears, this was an information that Mo Fei had not received before .
Yang Yi also nodded and said with a smile, “Maybe his mother has no free time anymore . She has to manage their flower shop, and your Big Brother Kai still has piano lessons . Since the day she returned the clothes, she hasn’t come back . ”
When Mo Fei heard this, she felt as if a stone had fallen out from her heart, but she still couldn’t help asking, “Hasn’t come again?”
“Um, I just want Xixi to have one more good friend, but it’s a pity . ” Yang Yi shook his head .
Mo Fei pursed her lips and said, “Do you still want to have something to do with that woman?”
“It’s not her . I just think that if Xixi has one more playmate, she won’t be too lonely . ” Yang Yi said, “But it doesn’t matter . At present, there are still many teachers’ children in the school . They often play on the lawn in front of the management building . Next evening, you can consider taking Xixi to meet other children . ”
It turned out that they had only met twice…
Mo Fei’s mood suddenly brightened up . She was so happy that she stopped listening to Yang Yi seriously . Her appetite improved, and she began to eat the fruit salad with Xixi .
However, there’s still another problem!
“What about the clothes you gave her that day?” Mo Fei asked, pretending not to care .
Yang Yi was puzzled: “What are you going to do with it?”
“I want to wear it, too! When I rushed back today, I wore this dress . It’s too hot in this dress!” Mo Fei said stiffly .
“Then I will bring you a new one, or shall I take you to buy clothes? Are you sure you want to wear men’s clothes?” Yang Yi said with a headache .
“No, I’m going to wear that one!” Mo Fei pouted and said .
“But I threw it away…” Yang Yi said honestly .
“Throw it away? Why?” Mo Fei didn’t believe it .
“Because I don’t like to wear clothes that have been worn by others . ” Yang Yi’s words were concise and to the point .
Mo Fei was still not convinced, but Yang Yi was really telling the truth! How can a man, who is obsessed with cleanliness, wear clothes that have been worn by others? On the day Yan Xiaopei returned the clothes, Yang Yi turned around and threw it into the trash can…
“Let me take you to buy clothes…”
“No . ”
“Then I will get you a new one?”
“No! I’m don’t feel hot anymore . My clothes are comfortable now . Hum!”
“……”
