Chapter 200 The Impatient Little Girl

Dont forget to have fun today, okay? And remember to let Papa take pictures, Mama will want to see them when she comes back. Mama is sad because she cant partic.i.p.ate in our first family party that Xixi invited her cla.s.smates to.

Mo Fei was already in Guangzhou because she was about to leave for the TV station. This program required a rehearsal to walk through the process in advance, so she called Xixi early to talk for a while

I know! Mama, dont be sad. Xixi will miss you, The little girl held her fathers phone obediently and said to her mother.

Mo Fei was very busy. She hastily said a few words to Yang Yi, asking him to take care of Xixi and the other children. She then put away her phone and rushed to the TV station with Mo Xiaojuan.

Yang Yi was actually very busy. He drove to the market early in the morning to buy the ingredients for the day.

Yes, he drove It was no longer like running to buy groceries as usual, even if he had good physical fitness and strength, he couldnt carry everything back.

Guo Ziyi and Ding Xiang have also come over, but Yang Yi was preparing food and didnt need their help. Little Fatty only knew how to steal food, and Ding Xiang didnt have Yang Yis level of skill, so they were arranged by Yang Yi to set up the venue in the coffee shop downstairs.

It was actually a bit of a ha.s.sle, because they needed to move the big table in the booth to the back, leaving s.p.a.ce for adults to move around and communicate. Of course, more importantly, they needed to set up the food. Yang Yi planned to make it a buffet-style setup, where guests could freely move around and take food. He also wanted to leave enough seating for tired adults to rest and for children to play.

As for the piano, Yang Yi had temporarily kept it. Because Guo Ziyi volunteered to be a temporary piano player for Yang Yi. However, Ding Xiang was very skeptical. She felt that after moving things, Guo Ziyi might not be able to lift his arms up

In the kitchen on the second floor, Yang Yi nervously prepared the food for the afternoon party, starting with some desserts and snacks, some of which needed to be refrigerated for a period of time.

Xixi played with the kittens by herself, but she was particularly excited today and couldnt sit still. Every now and then, she would run over and peek her head in, pretending to be very interested and asking, Papa, what are you doing?

Im making pudding, all kinds of pudding. But now Im making matcha pudding. Yang Yi was adding some matcha powder to the ingredients and slowly stirring and mixing them.

Oh! The little girl was not interested in how to make it. She was interested in eating pudding, but now she just licked her lips and asked, Then Papa, when will Xiner and the others come?

Yang Yi poured the mixed matcha pudding into specially purchased pudding bottles and then put them into a steamer filled with hot water, and lit the fire.

Arent they coming in the afternoon? Maybe theyll eat lunch and take a nap before their parents drive them over. Its still early! Yang Yi said with a smile to Xixi as he wiped his hands.

Oh, really? I really want to play with them. Papa, look, Xiao Guai is also waiting! I told Xiao Guai that many of big sisters friends will come to visit her today! The little girl pointed to the kitten in the living room, licking its paws and looking at her.

Yang Yi prohibited the kittens from visiting the kitchen, sometimes having to catch them when they walked into the dining room, as these places needed to be hygienic.

In order to prevent them from entering the kitchen, Yang Yi also bought citrus air freshener and sprayed it in the kitchen and near the entrance. Cats do not like this scent, so even though Xiao Guai liked to stick to Xixi, they still stayed away from the kitchen.

Oh, so thats it. Have you thought about how to entertain your friends who are coming this afternoon? Besides showing them the kittens, do you have any other programs? Yang Yi asked with a slight smile.

I need to prepare a program too? Ill think about it! Xixi found something to do and didnt bother her father anymore.

Finally, in the afternoon, on the open s.p.a.ce outside the Yang familys small building, a luxury car stopped. Chuntian Kindergarten was indeed located near the wealthy villa community in the Tingshan district.

Yang Dad, I dont know what to bring. In our circle, its popular to bring red wine, although it may not be appropriate for the occasion. But you can keep it and have a candlelight dinner with your partner! Haha! Lan Xins father, Lan Zhoukai, was a real estate tyc.o.o.n. Although he was not dressed in a suit, his casual attire was still impressive.

Of course, his appet.i.te was also remarkable, and it seemed that he was indeed Lan Xins biological father.

This is good! I love it! Yang Yi laughed and shook hands with the other party.

Although Yang Yi was a bit pretentious, just like when he was on missions in his previous life, where he had to blend in big social occasions, a coffee shop owner who loved peace and quiet completely disguised himself as a versatile social figure. He could chat and laugh with Lan Zhoukai or have a polite talk with another childs parent.

Red wine was actually not a good gift, because Mo Fei no longer drank, so even if they have a candlelit dinner, they wouldnt open the red wine. But Yang Yi still accepted it with surprise, leaving a good impression on Lan Zhoukai.

The world of adults was indeed somewhat complicated, but the world of children was much simpler. As soon as Lan Xin arrived, she broke free from her fathers hand and ran excitedly towards Xixi, who was talking to other little friends. The two little girls hugged each other in excitement.

A group of little friends were talking and chatting with each other, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lan Xins mother was a housewife. She smiled and said to Yang Yi, Our familys Xiner always comes home praising and saying that Xixis dad is good at cooking. Yang Dad, you have to teach me a few tricks, otherwise Xiner wont like the food I cook anymore!

Of course, no problem. We can exchange ideas later. Yang Yi smiled. Another parent came with their child, and he made an apologetic gesture, then asked Guo Ziyi to come over to help with the reception. He went to welcome the new guests himself.

Ding Xiang was hardworking and capable, but she couldnt cope with such an occasion. On the other hand, Guo Ziyi seemed very experienced and didnt look like a 16-year-old. He came over with a few gla.s.ses of juice and welcomed the guests with a smile.

It was the family of Yang Luoqi who came, but it wasnt her mother that Yang Yi had met before. It was a middle-aged man. The well-behaved Luo Xi wasnt like Lan Xin, she stood shyly beside the man and politely said, h.e.l.lo, Uncle Yang

h.e.l.lo, you must be Yang Xis father, right? Im Yang Luoqis father, Yang Guo. We should be meeting for the first time. Usually, its her mother who comes to pick up Qiqi, but shes busy today. Yang Luoqis father was older than Lanzhou Kai, who married late because of his business. He wore black-framed gla.s.ses on his nose and had a scholarly air about him.

Haha, yes, we were a family 300 years ago! h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo! Yang Yi shook hands with him and laughed.

He didnt forget Yang Luoqi and nodded towards the well-dressed girl, saying, Qiqi, youve finally come. Xixi has been talking about you all morning!

Really? Yang Luoqi was delighted and looked eagerly towards Xixi and the others.
