After speaking, Li Lily reached out to hold Yiyi's small hand. "Yiyi, your mom will be back very late today. Let's go have dinner at Auntie's house!"
However, Yiyi pulled her hand back and glanced at Ye Yiming, saying in a clear voice, "Daddy hasn't eaten yet. I want to cook for Daddy."
"He won't starve!"
The more obedient and sensible Yiyi was, the more displeased Li Lily became. How could someone like Ye Yiming have such a well-behaved daughter?
Yiyi pouted and insisted, "No, no! Daddy needs to eat."
"You..."
Li Lily felt helpless and then turned to glare at Ye Yiming, threatening him fiercely, "Ye Yiming, if you dare to hit Yiyi again, I will never let you off the hook."
Ye Yiming wiped away his tears and said seriously, "Don't worry. I will never hurt her even a little bit, nor will I let anyone bully her."
"Ha!"
Li Lily rolled her eyes and let out a mocking laugh. Before leaving, she reminded Yiyi, "Yiyi, if your daddy dares to hit you again, come find Auntie immediately. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
After seeing Li Lily and her daughter off at the door, Yiyi turned back to Ye Yiming and said, "Daddy, I'll cook right away. It will be ready soon."
With that, Yiyi grabbed a small stool and ran into the kitchen.
Ye Yiming paused for a moment before following her into the kitchen.
He saw Yiyi standing on the small stool, working hard yet skillfully. Her movements were so practiced that it was heart-wrenching...
She was only six years old!
Ye Yiming's heart suddenly ached as he stepped forward and picked Yiyi up. Because it was raining heavily outside, her clothes were a bit damp.
Ye Yiming frowned and asked, "Did you get caught in the rain?"
"Mm..."
"Why didn't you change your clothes first?"
"Daddy is hungry. I... I want to cook for Daddy first."
Seeing Ye Yiming's frown made Yiyi's voice tremble slightly with fear.
Seeing Yiyi like this, Ye Yiming sighed. He gently stroked Yiyi's little head and said, "Yiyi, be good. You might catch a cold like this. Leave the cooking to Dad, and you should go take a shower first!"
"But... but can Dad really cook?"
Since Yiyi could remember, Dad had never cooked a meal, only drank and broke things.
Ye Yiming gently pinched Yiyi's little face and smiled kindly, "I'll let you taste Dad's cooking later. Now go take a shower!"
"Okay!"
Yiyi nodded obediently and turned to leave the kitchen.
Ye Yiming searched around the kitchen and found a pack of noodles, a tomato, and three eggs. This home was truly poor!
Ye Yiming chuckled bitterly and began to cook. With just a pack of noodles, a tomato, and three eggs, he made tomato noodles and heart-shaped fried eggs!
By the time the meal was ready, Yiyi had just finished her shower. She looked at the heart-shaped fried eggs on the table and exclaimed, "Wow, such beautiful fried eggs! Dad is amazing!"
"Yiyi, come try Dad's cooking."
"Okay!"
Yiyi took a bite of the fried egg and slurped up some noodles, her face full of happiness as she said, "Dad is so great; this is really delicious!"
"Eat up!"
"Dad should eat too."
"Alright."
The father and daughter sat at the small square table, enjoying their noodles. Halfway through the meal, Ye Yiming suddenly asked, "Yiyi, where is Mom's savings book?"
