Chapter 4-5 (1/2)

In the dining room of the Hao Mansion, Qiu Li Luo happily watched Yuan Gun Gun eat. She felt nothing else in the world could make her happier.

'Gun Gun, is the food delicious?' Qiu Li Luo asked.

'It's delicious,' Yuan Gun Gun said. She bit another chicken wing, and smiled at Qiu Li Luo. 'Aunty Li why aren't you eating?'

'Because aunty loves watching Gun Gun eat adorably and aunty forgot to eat,' Qiu Li Luo said.

Qiu Li Luo picked up a napkin, and she helped wipe grease off Yuan Gun Gun's mouth and clothes.

Yuan Gun Gun put a chicken wing in Qiu Li Luo's bowl.

'Aunty Li needs to eat too,' Yuan Gun Gun said. 'Mummy said a person needs to eat breakfast if they want to be beautiful. Look how beautiful aunty Li is. If aunty Li doesn't eat breakfast then aunty Li won't be beautiful anymore.'

Yuan Gun Gun's innocence made Qiu Li Luo laughed. Qiu Li Luo ate the chicken wing Yuan Gun Gun put in her bowl.

Hao Yan Que strode into the dining room. He was angry at Qiu Li Luo. Everything he said to his wife last night, went through one ear and out the other.

'Good morning uncle Que,' Yuan Gun Gun greeted sweetly.

'Good morning husband,' Qiu Li Luo greeted. 'Why... didn't you sleep in?'

Hao Yan Que walked to Qiu Li Luo.

'Xiao Luo, your heart didn't hear what I said to you last night,' Hao Yan Que said.

'I... didn't,' Qiu Li Luo said softly.

'Xiao Luo, last night I said you can't leave the bed before me,' Hao Yan Que. He stroked Qiu Li Luo's long white hair. 'If you do, you have to pay the price.'

'Que!' Qiu Li Luo called. 'Gun Gun's here.'

Qiu Li Luo didn't want Hao Yan Que to corrupt Yuan Gun Gun's innocent eyes.

'Don't worry,' Hao Yan Que said. 'Look at the hearty way Gun Gun is eating. She can't hear us.'

Hao Yan Que was impressed with Yuan Gun Gun's eating skills.

Qiu Li Luo watched Yuan Gun Gun's chubby hands hold a bowl of vegetable soup, and Yuan Gun Gun's white teeth fought to chew on the vegetables.

'Luo Li Qiu!' Hao Yan Que called.

'That isn't my name,' Qiu Li Luo said.

'Xiao Luo, stop avoiding the evitable,' Hao Yan Que said. 'What do you think your punishment is?'

'Que, I promise I won't leave the bed before you again,' Qiu Li Luo said. 'I left the bed early because I was worried Gun Gun was hungry.'

Hao Yan Que scoffed. Qiu Li Luo tugged his shirt sleeve.

'Don't be angry,' Qiu Li Luo said. 'Sit down and eat with me.'

Hao Yan Que sat next to Qiu Li Luo and he began eating breakfast.
