Chapter 75 - As Long as You Like to (2/2)

“No need, go to play.” Despite saying so, Gu Nianbin was still reluctant to drive her out. The excited Du Xiaoxian was like a lark chirping all the time. However, Gu Nianbin wasn’t annoyed at all. Instead, he was very happy. This was what ordinary and real life looked like, right?

When he was about to knead the dough, Du Xiaoxian’s eyes lit up as she looked at the soft dough, “I can do this, I can do this!”

Gu Nianbin raised his arm to let her stand in front of him. A pair of big hands and a pair of small hands were kneading the dough together like making potteries. With the right background music, they would look exactly like the couple in the movie Ghost. Gu Nianbin weren’t think about that, his attention was completely on the little girl in his arms. Her eyes were shining with colorful lights, her body was releasing a faint fragrance, and her voice was so melodious and ringing as she was having so much fun. This was the greatest joy for Gu Nianbin. Nothing else was important as long as she was happy.

Gu Nianbin let out a sigh of satisfaction. Finding the dough was almost ready, he said, “Baby, if we continue playing, this dough will be wasted.”

Du Xiaoxian hurriedly stopped, but her face turned red with embarrassment because he called her baby. She leaned against his chest and snorted like a kitten, “You should have said it earlier.”

“Say what earlier?” Gu Nianbin teased her, “call you baby?”

“Ah!” Du Xiaoxian was so embarrassed that she wanted to run away, but she was trapped in Gu Nianbin’s strong arms and couldn’t go anywhere. She wiped her dirty hands on his face in a haste. He dodged, and she took the opportunity to escape with giggles. Gu Nianbin also laughed, but didn’t chase after her. He added some butter and started to make more batter to fill the molds.

This time, Du Xiaoxian participated the whole process. She had more ideas when drawing on them. She turned them all into limited editions because she drew differently on each biscuit. A smiling kitten, a cute bear, a cute chicken, a fluffy squirrel, a horse raising its hooves, flowers, trees, houses and so on.

She kept coming up with so many new ideas that she didn’t even need to think about it when drawing on them one by one. Gu Nianbin was very happy. He didn’t expect that she could come up with so many things with her small head. But what fascinated him even more was her attentive look. Every time she concentrated on doing one thing, the radiance in her eyes was incomparably beautiful. Gu Nianbin was fascinated by this radiance back them, and she walked into his heart little by little afterwards.

When the biscuits were being baked, Gu Nianbin took out the plates, brewed himself a cup of coffee and poured Du Xiaoxian a cup of juice. They sat at the dining table and ate slowly while waiting.

Du Xiaoxian ate two pieces and asked Gu Nianbin, “Can I give some to my friends?”

“Of course, as long as you like to.” Gu Nianbin replied gently.

Du Xiaoxian blinked her big bright eyes and kissed him on the face to express her gratitude. For many times, when she asked similar questions, his answers would always be, “As long as you like to.”

Compared to the question itself, Du Xiaoxian liked to hear this sentence the most because she felt very happy. Being loved and spoiled like this by a man who would always say, “As long as you like to”, she felt really happy! Once again, Du Xiaoxian thanked God silently in her heart for letting her meet Gu Nianbin, the most important person in her life!

When the second batch of biscuits were done, Du Xiaoxian found two clean glass bottles and put the biscuits in one by one neatly. They were stacked on top of each other and separated by white oil paper in between. Finally, she covered the bottles with lids and tied beautiful bows with ribbons on them. They were as beautiful as those in the shops.

Putting the glass bottles on the table, Du Xiaoxian clapped her hands and smiled in satisfaction. She was going to give one bottle to her classmates, and the other for Zhou Ting.

Sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face and arms crossed, Gu Nianbin watched her preparing all these, “Aren’t you going to leave any for yourself?”

“I have this.” Du Xiaoxian showed him the biscuits with two little persons on a plate.

“Are you going to eat it?”

“No, I’ll keep it.” Du Xiaoxian smiled and said, “I can’t bear to eat it.”

“Actually it doesn’t matter,” Gu Nianbin said, “Next time, we can make some more.”

Du Xiaoxian shook her head. The next time they made it, it might not be like this. A lot of things are bound by destiny, like her and Gu Nianbin. Even if someone treated her better and spoiled her more in the future, as long as he was not Gu Nianbin, she wouldn’t want him.

It was only after finishing doing everything did the little girl look at her young master with admiration, “Brother, you are really amazing, you can even make biscuits!”

“Not only biscuits, I can cook anything you want.” Being praised by her, President Gu became proud.

She turned to look at the fridge, in which there was an unfinished fruit cake.

President Gu said calmly, “Cake, no problem, let’s make one tomorrow.” But he thought to himself, “I have to memorize the procedures of making cakes as quickly as possible tonight, so that I won’t become flustered tomorrow.”

Little stars appeared in Du Xiaoxian’s eyes because she admired him so much. Nothing was difficult for her young master as she expected! Her young master was omnipotent!

President Gu found her so cute looking at her silly and adorable face, he couldn’t help but kiss her again.
