Looking at her very soft posture.

He couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, thinking that not signing her up for a dance class would be wasting her natural talent.

Of course.

This sleeping posture isn't good for a child's development.

It needs to be corrected!

He sat up and gently reached out to adjust her posture.

"Mmm hmm~"

As soon as he touched her, sleeping Xuanxuan mumbled and slowly opened her eyes.

Oh no!

He accidentally woke the little one up, so he quickly reached out to pat her gently over the small blanket and softly said, "Xuanxuan, sleep a little longer!"

"Daddy!"

She muttered, asking, "Has it gotten light yet?"

She innocently thought that her dad was trying to wake her up!

"It's still early, you can sleep a bit longer."

Huang Tao smiled.

Yesterday, he had given Ding Suqin a spare key to the shop so that she could come early in the morning, open the store, and enter without waiting for him.

He instructed her to receive the goods delivered by the vegetable stall owner and Chen Weihao and to clean the necessary ingredients.

Xu Hao would also arrive early to fulfill his duties as sous-chef.

Because these two capable people would handle the prep work he used to do.

So starting today, he could arrive at the store a bit later every morning.

This way, Xuanxuan could sleep a little longer.

Who would have thought that he'd accidentally wake the little one up?

Xuanxuan rubbed her sleepy eyes with her chubby hands, crawled out of bed, and snuggled into his arms.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, Daddy won't leave Xuanxuan alone and go to the store."

He reached out to hold her, lightly smoothing her messy hair, finding her more and more adorable, unable to resist planting a kiss on her forehead.

Xuanxuan giggled, pushing his face with her little hands, murmuring, "Daddy's beard is so prickly..."

Huang Tao touched his face.

The beard he had shaved clean just yesterday morning had grown stubble overnight.

It was indeed a bit prickly!

"Then daddy will shave it off later, okay?"

"Okay!"

Responding, her eyelids unknowingly drooped again, as if she was about to fall asleep.

He smiled with his lips pressed together and said, "If you want to sleep, then go ahead and sleep a bit longer."

Xuanxuan tilted her little head, leaning against her dad's chest, half-closed her eyes, and lazily mumbled, "Hmmmm."

With a strong nasal tone, there was a hint of coquettishness.

This sound fell into Huang Tao's ear, and he felt it sounded like a celestial melody, so sweet.

So sweet it touched his heart!

He felt deeply enraptured, wanting nothing more than to cherish her in his palm for the rest of his life!

And this feeling, only a doting dad could truly understand, knowing what it means to have a little lover from a previous life!

She raised her head, blinking her beautiful big eyes, and then shook her head like a rattle: "Daddy, I don't want to sleep anymore, I want to get up and play with Mimi."

Outside the door, Mimi was curled up like a snail shell, her belly rising and falling, a few long whiskers twitching, making a "woof-woof" sound.

Hearing the sound, Xuanxuan thought Mimi was responding to her!

A hint of excitement appeared in her eyes: "Daddy, Mimi heard it, she said she wants to play with Xuanxuan too!"

If Mimi could make emoji expressions.

She would definitely immediately present a "Not at all, I didn't say that, don't talk nonsense" three-denial meme.

Huang Tao chuckled helplessly, patting her little head: "Alright, then you should behave and put on your clothes. After you're dressed, brush your teeth, and wash your face, you can play with Mimi."

"Mmm ah!"

She nodded obediently.

Then, with Huang Tao's help, she got dressed and washed up.

"Mimi..."

She ran to the bedroom door, bent over, picked up the lazy Mimi, and hugged her affectionately with a beaming smile.

She snuggled for quite a while.

Under daddy's urging, she carried Mimi and went downstairs with him.

They rode the electric bike to the store.

Xu Hao and Ding Suqin were busy in the kitchen at this moment.

Seeing the father and daughter enter the store, they greeted them warmly but continued with their work without pause.

"Boss, Xuanxuan, you're here..."

"Good morning, Auntie Suqin..."

Xuanxuan smiled with her eyes bending into crescents and politely greeted them: "Good morning, Uncle Haozi."

Uncle Haozi was, of course, Xu Hao.

Originally, Xuanxuan called him "Uncle Mouse", which made him feel very embarrassed until he carefully explained that this "Haozi" wasn't that "Mouse". Only then did Xuanxuan change "Mouse" to "Haozi".

But the address of an uncle couldn't be changed no matter what.

Don't ask why.

If asked, it's because he looks like an uncle, not like a brother!

And Xuanxuan can't lie!

Because lying isn't what good kids do!

Also, don't ask why she doesn't call him by his name.

If asked, it's because that's impolite!

Even though he had only known Xuanxuan for less than a day, he could tell that Xuanxuan was a well-behaved and understanding child.

Just like a little angel, so pure.

So he respected her original intention and accepted this form of address.

Besides, even if she's not calling him uncle right now, in a few years she will be.

He's just enjoying it a little earlier.

Both of them beamed with smiles: "Xuanxuan is such a good girl!"

"Xuanxuan, Daddy has to go to work now..." Huang Tao squatted down, looking apologetic.

"Okay, Daddy, go ahead, don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself."

With that, she patted her dad's shoulder sensibly and then went off to play with Mimi.
