Chapter 26: A heartwarming moment

When father and daughter returned home, Qian An took off his shoes and touched his stomach. "Aiyo, I'm happy today. I'll send you to class tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Dad. I'll make breakfast for you tomorrow." Shuishui smiled faintly. There were plenty of ingredients in the house, so she could cook for him light seafood noodles, along with eggs, pancakes, and beef salad.

"Okay. I'll definitely try the breakfast that my daughter will cook for me." He wouldn't mind if his daughter's breakfast wasn't delicious. What was important was that she was considerate enough to cook for him.

Shuishui went straight to her room. She had not practiced that day.

Qian An also went back to his room. Li Xue was watching television in her room. When she heard the commotion, she looked over and saw that Qian An had returned. "Hubby, why are you back so late today?"

"I had a meal with President Mu. Why? What's the matter?" Qian An asked. After all, he often had social engagements.

Li Xue lowered her head. She was not very satisfied with Qian An's answer. "I called your secretary, and he said that you left work early today and did not have any other social engagements."

"What are you thinking about again? Today, Shuishui's results came out, and that child from the Mu family also did well. He invited Shuishui and me to dinner. You always said that Shuishui embarrassed you. This time, she got 755 points. As a mother, you should naturally reward her well. Don't talk about Shuishui in the future." Qian An reminded Li Xue that if she didn't care about her relationship with her daughter, it might really disappear. This was because Shuishui was serious. She had really become mature and had learned a lot. Moreover, she had a clear distinction between gratitude and hatred.

It wasn't her fault that the child had become like that. It was probably because of the family's environment. In fact, it was also because of negligence. However, now that she was sensible, it was naturally for the best.

Li Xue felt that she had misheard. "How could she have gotten 755? She must be lying."

"She used her phone to surf the Internet to show me. It was indeed 755. She didn't do well in Chinese and history, but for the rest of the exams, she did pretty good." Qian An was satisfied. No, it should be said that he was very satisfied.

Li Xue could not believe it. Could it be that she was cheating? It was unlikely. After all, the middle school exams were very strict. Although she was sometimes very bold, she didn't think that Shuishui could cheat. For some reason, she wasn't as happy as she imagined. However, she revealed a fake happy smile on her face. "It's very surprising."

"Yeah, I'm also very surprised. But this is my daughter. I'm proud." Qian An was ready to take a shower and rest early. He had drunk a few glasses of red wine, and he felt that his energy was restored. After all, he had to drive, so he didn't drink much.

Shuishui practiced in her room. The next day, she would tell the three teachers the good news.

That night, Shuishui looked out of the window. They lived in a villa area, which was relatively empty. She raised her head and looked at the dark blue curtain that covered the night sky, which was dotted with twinkling stars. She couldn't help but feel deeply intoxicated. Although she didn't study astronomy, she had friends who studied it. Therefore, she also had a yearning for the mysterious universe. It would have been better if she had a telescope in her room.

After a long while, she withdrew her gaze. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly erased. The night breeze was slightly cool. She closed the window a little and went to bed to rest.

She turned off the lights and lay on the bed. Her eyes looked at the dark ceiling. "Be yourself."

After she said those words, she closed her eyes, breathed evenly, and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, the sun had risen and shone with a warm light.

When the alarm clock sounded, Shuishui turned it off. She flipped and rolled around the bed a few times before she sat up and slowly stretched. She exhaled and got out of bed to wash up.

After everything was done, she put the documents into her backpack and went downstairs. It was only eight o'clock, so she began to prepare breakfast. The nanny was a little confused when she saw that Shuishui wanted to make breakfast, but she didn't stop her.

Shuishui took out fresh prawns from the fridge. She originally thought that there were only prawns, but of course, fresh ingredients were the best. Shuishui washed them and peeled off the skin.

After almost an hour of work, she had prepared an exquisite breakfast. Not only did she make sure that the food would be delicious, she also made sure it looked good.

Of course, it was also because Shuishui had nothing else to do, so she spent more time working on the appearance of the food.

When Qian An woke up, he didn't forget that Shuishui had made promised to make breakfast for him that morning. After he put on his suit, he went downstairs and smelled the delicious aroma. "Oh my, what did you make? It smells so good."

"Dad, you're just in time. Please sit down." Shuishui pulled out a chair and asked Qian An to sit down.

She took out the dishes and said, "This is seafood vermicelli, this is cold beef, and this is egg tofu soup."

"Wow. They look pretty good. Are you sure you didn't hire help?" Qian An patted his big belly and smiled.

Shuishui also sat down. She gave him two servings and had one for herself. Then, she began to eat. "I made them myself. If you don't believe me, you can ask the nanny. I woke up early and spent an hour making these."

"Daddy will definitely believe you. Daddy is about to start eating." Qian An didn't have much to say and began to eat.

The seafood and vermicelli soup was really delicious. The umami flavor was distinct, and it tasted really good. It was neither too salty nor too bland. Next was this beef. It looked very unique. After he took bite, he noticed that it didn't taste of smelly beef. It was also slightly spicy. "Not bad—a little sour and sweet."

Shuishui also ate. Actually, it could be said that the taste was not bad. The dishes she prepared were indeed rare, and they were also fresh.
