Chapter 49 (1/2)

After staying in bed for about two more hours, Cheng Zhiyan finally gave Xiaotu permission to get up.

After finishing her morning routine, it was time for breakfast.

Xiaotu anxiously followed Zhou Yue around, yet she didn’t say anything.

Zhou Yue turned around, gazed at her in amusement, then stooped down and asked, “Xiaotu, since you keep following me around, is there something that you wanted to ask me?”

“Yes…” Xiaotu nodded her head seriously and said, “Auntie Zhou, can I…put some powder on?”

“Put some powder on?” Zhou Yue was surprised, but then she burst out laughing. She asked, “Why does a child like you need to put on powder?”

“My daddy is coming back today…” Xiaotu said a little shyly.

“Oh…so it’s for your father to see.” Zhou Yue nodded, then held Xiaotu’s hand and led her upstairs, saying, “All right, Auntie will dress you up.”

Cheng Zhiyan, who had been sitting at the table eating breakfast, looked up upon hearing this. As he watched Xiaotu’s figure following behind his mother, he couldn’t help but shake his head.

After a little bit more than ten minutes, Xiaotu joyfully came out of Zhou Yue’s bedroom.

Zhou Yue had not only applied a layer of powder to Xiaotu’s face, she’d also made a red dot in the middle of her forehead and found a large red flower in her closet and tied it to Xiaotu’s braid.

Xiaotu was also wearing a large red cotton jacket today, so now she certainly resembled a festive doll.

Cheng Zhiyan didn’t know what to say when he’d seen how Xiaotu was dressed, so he didn’t say anything and simply continued eating his breakfast with his head down.

Yet of course Xiaotu rushed up in front of Cheng Zhiyan and asked him jubilantly, “Brother Orange Juice, do I look pretty, do I look pretty, look at the pretty flower in my hair.”

“Yep, I see it.” Cheng Zhiyan replied without even lifting his head.
