Chapter 849 - 596: Soul-Searching Questions (2)

"Huh? Honey, what did you say?"

Dou Yuanxin had just sat in the driver's seat and didn't catch what she said, but noticed the Swiss roll in her hand. He smiled and explained, "Oh, that box of Swiss rolls is prepared for Guoguo. I'm worried she might not get enough to eat at kindergarten and might be hungry after school. So I bought some in advance for her to eat when we pick her up…"

Oh~

What?

Are you saying this box of Swiss rolls is specially for Guoguo?

Are you implying…

That she, as the mother, isn't worthy of enjoying it?

Upon hearing this, Qiu Jingwen felt a bit displeased and questioned, "Are you suggesting that the meals at Dorami Kindergarten are like those at Government Kindergarten, not up to par and not to Guoguo's taste, worrying she might not be used to them? Is that why you specifically bought these Swiss rolls? Are you questioning the kindergarten I chose for Guoguo? Besides, didn't you agree to this transfer? What right do you have to question me?"

Dou Yuanxin was instantly taken aback.

He didn't understand how his wife, who was smiling just now, suddenly got so worked up.

Could it be... she's on her period today?

But counting the days, her cycle isn't due.

He hurriedly explained, "Honey, you misunderstood, I never intended to question you. I'm just simply worried that Guoguo might not eat enough at kindergarten. After all, she's at a crucial stage of growth, and hunger is bad for her health. That's why I prepared some food she likes in advance, just in case she gets hungry after school."

"And, you know how Chef Huang at Dorami Kindergarten is incredibly skilled. Guoguo especially loves his barbecue, so I assume she'd be fond of other snacks and meals too. I just want to be prepared for any scenario and hope you understand my concern…"

While saying this, Dou Yuanxin couldn't help but recall Huang Jun's barbecue, the taste still unforgettable, causing him to lose interest in other barbecues.

Thinking about this, he even started to feel a bit jealous that his daughter gets to savor Huang Jun's culinary delights at kindergarten.

Qiu Jingwen suddenly changed her tone, smiling and asked, "Husband, tell me, how many of these Swiss rolls can I eat?"

"Hmm?"

The sudden and seemingly random question left Dou Yuanxin a bit confused.

But seeing his wife's eyes, which were slightly "accusatory," he immediately understood the meaning, and his survival instincts were instantly ignited: "Honey, this box of Swiss rolls is all yours. You can eat as many as you want."

"Eat them all, then what about Guoguo?" Qiu Jingwen asked seriously.

Dou Yuanxin quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'll buy Guoguo another box later, making sure she won't be disappointed. If you feel that's not enough, I'll buy more, plenty to go around~"

"And you? Aren't you going to eat?" Qiu Jingwen continued to ask.

"Me…"

Dou Yuanxin paused and then chuckled honestly, "I'll just eat whatever's left by you two; that's more than enough. If I don't eat, it's no big deal. As long as you two enjoy and are content, it's already the greatest happiness for me. Your smiles and contentment are the most beautiful scenery in my heart."

Hmm, this response, Qiu Jingwen gave 99 points, afraid of her husband getting too proud with one more point.

She smiled and nodded in agreement, "That attitude is about right… But, I'm not hungry now, so let's leave them for Guoguo to eat! Don't bother buying more, it'll just waste time."

Saying that, she carefully put the Swiss rolls back in the bag.

Upon hearing this, Dou Yuanxin finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

Thankfully he was perceptive, avoiding potential tension.

Otherwise, a 'bloodbath' over the Swiss rolls might have ensued…

Moments later…

Their car slowly came to a stop near Dorami Kindergarten.

The entrance was already bustling with various vehicles parked neatly but slightly chaotically along the road while the entrance was tightly packed with parents anxiously waiting.

After the couple parked the car securely, they walked hand in hand to the designated waiting area for class 5.

At this moment, a familiar voice broke the surrounding din—

"Cousin, cousin-in-law, you're here…"

Standing not far away in the waiting area for class 4, Xu Sijun immediately recognized Qiu Jingwen and her husband, grinning and warmly waving to them.

Qiu Jingwen smiled back, "Sijun, I thought I came early enough, but you're even more eager…"

"It's because the weather's still chilly, so I want to pick up the kids earlier to feel at ease." Xu Sijun smiled and then switched the topic: "What about you two? Why did both of you come? Worried Guoguo isn't adjusting well?"

Qiu Jingwen gently nodded, a soft smile playing on her lips, "You guessed it right, after all it's the first day of transfer, we're somewhat anxious…"

While the two were pleasantly conversing, Qiu Jingwen and her husband's gazes were simultaneously drawn to a familiar figure—Lin Jiayi.

They naturally followed Lin Jiayi's figure with their eyes, slowly looking behind her, through a playful group of kids, ultimately spotting Guoguo's cute little head coming into view.
