When the cup noodles were ready to eat, Ye Yuwei and Ye Xicheng each sat on one bed and dug in.

They looked at the door as it opened and saw Gu Juexi who was drenched from the rain coming in with a bag in his hand.

Gu Juexi left the bag on the table and went into the bathroom.

Ye Yuwei and Ye Xicheng exchanged looks before Ye Xicheng quickly jumped off his bed and climbed onto a stool to unpack the bag.

“It’s porridge, Mommy!” Ye Xicheng yelled in excitement. After all, he did prefer rice to instant noodles.

Meanwhile, Gu Juexi was standing in the bathroom, staring at himself disdainfully in the mirror. His mood improved when he heard that little brat yelling in excitement.

He remembered seeing a restaurant on their way to the hotel, so he rushed there and paid double the price for the dishes that was just served on one of the tables.

He had never done anything like that before. Never did he expect that he would to walk into a restaurant and ask to buy their dishes for double the price.

But he did, and he did it without hesitation. The reason was simple—he didn’t want instant noodles to be the only option for his children and their mother when he was there for them.

Ye Yuwei heard Ye Xicheng and walked to the table. She opened the bag and saw porridge for two and two other dishes. She then looked at the bathroom where Gu Juexi was showering and pursed her lips.

He was only gone for five minutes so he couldn’t have ordered these dishes himself. The dishes were piping hot though, so how did he get them?

“Can we eat these, Mommy?” Ye Xicheng bit his lip and looked up at his mother.

Ye Yuwei stroked his hair and took the porridge and other dishes out of the bag. “Of course,” said Ye Yuwei as she put the dishes in front of him and passed him a spoon.

Ye Xicheng let out a cheer and dug in while kneeling on the chair.

Ye Yuwei saw the name of the restaurant on the bag and recalled seeing the restaurant on their way back to the hotel. “Mommy has to go out for a while, Xicheng. I will be back very soon, so don’t let Daddy know, okay?” Ye Yuwei said and left the hotel.

Ye Xicheng watched his mother leaving curiously.

Ye Yuwei borrowed an umbrella from the reception and headed out.

The restaurant was not far away from the hotel but it definitely took more than five minutes to get there. So how did Gu Juexi get there so fast?

Ye Yuwei went into the restaurant. There weren’t many customers there because of the rain.

Ye Yuwei closed her umbrella at the entrance and looked around before she approached the cashier. “Excuse me, did a man come earlier to pack food?”

“Was it a very handsome man?” The cashier obviously remembered Gu Juexi, and carried on after Ye Yuwei nodded. “He left just a few minutes ago, saying that his wife and children were waiting for the food. He said he couldn’t wait too long so he paid double for one of the table’s food.”

Ye Yuwei listened to the cashier and found the whole story unbelievable. Why would Gu Juexi do something like that?
