The next day.

The morning light hovered over the city of Wenling; the newly awakened sun had already settled on the tops of the tall buildings, and the parasol trees along the road quietly blossomed with tender green leaves, as a beautiful smile appeared on the West City Old Street.

Soon, the crowd and traffic bustled about, creating a wave of lively excitement…

Inside the Delicious Restaurant.

Everything was ready.

After Huang Tao and Ding Suqin finished their breakfast, they would set off for the food festival.

At this moment, Ding Suqin led Yan Ming and several male employees to move all the pre-prepared ingredients and equipment onto the small truck outside.

"Daddy, are you going to leave?"

Xuanxuan ran over to Huang Tao with her tiny legs, hugged his thigh, looked up with her grape-like eyes, and smiled sweetly, her soft voice tinged with a hint of reluctance.

"Yes!"

Huang Tao, hearing the reluctance in his precious daughter's voice, couldn't help but pat her little head and ask, "What's wrong? Do you not want Dad to leave? If you don't want Dad to leave, Dad can stay a while longer and take you to kindergarten before leaving."

In his heart, nothing in the world is as important as his daughter!

"No need, no need~"

Xuanxuan shook her little head like a small rattle, saying seriously, "Daddy, you don't need to stay with me on purpose, or take me to school specifically, Grandma and Grandpa will stay with me and take me to kindergarten; your work is important!"

Oh dear!

My little sweetheart, how can you be so understanding!

He bent down, picked up Xuanxuan, and embraced her in his arms.

The little one was soft as boneless and carried the unique milky scent of children. Hugging this little one felt like embracing the happiness of the entire world.

He couldn't help but plant a kiss on her smooth forehead and said, "Then I'll come back early tonight to be with you, okay?"

"Okay, okay~"

She giggled happily, then hugged her dad's neck and whispered in his ear, "Daddy, I'll miss you at kindergarten."

In an instant, Huang Tao felt like his heart was melting.

"Daddy will miss you too, sweetheart."

He gently rubbed the back of her head, his eyes filled with affection and love.

Xuanxuan was very satisfied with his words.

As she giggled, she puckered her lips and left a sweet kiss on his cheek as a reward.

Huang Tao was momentarily taken aback.

He turned his head to look at the little one with her arching brows, feeling sweetness in his heart.

"Boss, everything is loaded up; you see..." Ding Suqin, worried that Xuanxuan might start crying because she didn't want her dad to leave, hesitated to continue.

"Alright, I understand, you guys take the taxi and go ahead; I'll catch up shortly."

Huang Tao nodded, indicating he understood.

On hearing this, Ding Suqin nodded at Huang Tao and then led Yan Ming and the others to Lin Jingsong's taxi.

"Daddy, you should go now! Don't make Suqin and the others wait too long." Xuanxuan tilted her little head, her big eyes blinking as she said obediently.

Huang Tao hesitated a little, "Then should Daddy go now?"

Although Xuanxuan still felt a bit reluctant, to avoid worrying her dad, she said maturely, "Daddy, you go ahead, at home, Xuanxuan will listen to Grandpa and Grandma, and at school, Xuanxuan will listen to Teacher Ye, so don't worry."

"Such a good girl!"

Huang Tao gently tapped her little nose and softly set her down.

"Son, don't worry. Xuanxuan is being watched over by your dad and me!"

Song Cailian, smiling, came over and took Xuanxuan's little hand.

He smiled and reminded, "Mom, I'll have to trouble you to take Xuanxuan to kindergarten. Be safe on the way…"

When Huang Tao was little and went to school, Song Cailian would also fuss like this.

But young Huang Tao didn't like listening to it.

It always went in one ear and out the other.

Now look, he's the one fussing over her instead.

Oh well!

Being a parent sure feels different!

Her eyes warm with affection, she said, "Got it, I'll be careful. Go mind your work…"

Xuanxuan obediently waved, "Daddy, bye-bye…"

"Bye-bye, see you tonight, sweetheart."

Huang Tao climbed into the truck's passenger seat, waved back as a response, then told the driver, "Let's go…"

Watching the truck leave, Xuanxuan waved vigorously, looking quite reluctant.

Until the truck disappeared at the turning corner.

Her beautiful eyes blinked.

So Daddy really left just like that...

She felt like crying, but in the end, she held it back.

Because she promised Daddy she'd be well-behaved.

And good kids don't cry!

She's a good kid!

"Alright, your dad's gone far; let's go inside the shop first. Later, Grandma will take you to kindergarten,"

Song Cailian, knowing the little one was reluctant, bent down and said lovingly, "If you really miss Daddy too much, then after school, Grandma and Grandpa will take you to the food festival to see Daddy, okay?"

"Really, Grandma?" Xuanxuan's eyes lit up like bright pearls.

"Of course, it's true; since when has Grandma ever lied to you!"

Amused by her little look, Song Cailian nodded affirmatively.

With a confirmed answer, Xuanxuan's smile widened as she expressed, "Thank you, Grandma…"

"You little one..."

Xuanxuan's words touched the soft spot in Song Cailian's heart, and she couldn't help but cup Xuanxuan's little pink face.

Without her son around, she must be more vigilant and take good care of Xuanxuan.

Seeing the wind pick up outside, fearing Xuanxuan might catch a cold, she quickly and lovingly said, "Xuanxuan, it's windy outside; let's go inside with Grandma first."

"Uh-huh~"

Xuanxuan nodded eagerly and followed Grandma into the shop.

...

Since today is Monday, many office workers and other unit staff had to switch to work mode and couldn't attend the food festival.

The foot traffic on the commercial pedestrian street had significantly decreased compared to the previous two days.

However.

The nearby retirees with nothing to do, and those off work on Monday shifts, just like before, got up early.

On empty stomachs, they came to the commercial pedestrian street to seek food at the festival.

Solve the breakfast problem!

The people who came are mostly regulars of the Delicious Restaurant booth.

Naturally, they came for the great food at the Delicious Restaurant booth!

Look at this.

Huang Tao and the others hadn't even reached their booth yet!

These regular customers were already lining up amicably at the Delicious booth in a long queue.

The familiar customers even chatted about last night's "Eight O'Clock News."

Looking across the entire food festival, so many people lined up at this booth; the liveliness was unmatched except for Huang Tao's family.

Attracting another wave of envious glances from chefs at other hotels and restaurants.

Well!

Only Boss Huang could attract so many repeat customers to line up early, all without complaints.
