Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 116 - 112: What’s So Great About Transferring Schools?

Chapter 116: Chapter 112: What’s So Great About Transferring Schools?

A few seconds later...

The voice of the man of the Liu family, who had always been invincible in the business world, echoed in the living room, shocked: "What! Baby, what did you say? You said you want to transfer schools? You said you want to transfer to Dorami Kindergarten?!"

Liu Ruihan was startled by her father’s voice. Her small body trembled slightly, and instinctively, she looked up at her dad.

The face that was usually gentle and filled with love was now replaced with a furrowed brow and an expression of confusion. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

This sudden change in expression...

Was so unfamiliar and oppressive to Liu Ruihan that it made her panic, her little heart pounding uncontrollably. She didn’t dare to answer and just nodded slightly.

At this moment, Wen Xueqian recovered from the shock.

Seeing Liu Ruihan’s frightened look, she couldn’t help but give Liu Shiwei a reproachful glance, "Husband, why are you so loud? Look, you’ve scared the child!"

Saying this, she turned to Liu Ruihan and gently coaxed, "Hanhan, don’t be afraid. Your dad didn’t mean to scare you. He’s just too surprised and needs some time to process this news. Can you tell mom why you want to transfer to Dorami Kindergarten?"

At the end, she didn’t forget to give Liu Shiwei a gentle look, signaling him to calm down.

Liu Ruihan looked at Wen Xueqian, then at Liu Shiwei, and lowered her head without speaking.

Liu Shiwei also realized that his reaction had been too intense and had scared his child, so he took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

He looked at his daughter gently, holding her small hand, softly saying, "Hanhan, I’m sorry. Daddy might have overreacted just now, but I wasn’t angry with you."

"Hanhan, can you tell Daddy why you have this thought?"

Under the couple’s soothing, Liu Ruihan’s nervous mood gradually calmed down.

Seeing her dad’s gentle eyes, feeling that he had returned to his usual mild manner, she mustered up the courage to express her thoughts: "Because I want... I want to go to school with my good friend, Weiwei!"

Hearing their daughter’s answer, Wen Xueqian and Liu Shiwei were both surprised.

They couldn’t help but feel a mutual sense of confusion: how could two little girls who had known each other for just a few hours form such a deep friendship in such a short time? Such a bond that made Hanhan have a strong desire to go to school with Weiwei, even to the point of wanting to transfer schools...

This was simply unimaginable!

The couple exchanged looks, their eyes filled with deep surprise and disbelief.

They had never thought that their daughter’s reason for transferring was related to a girl she had just met.

Liu Shiwei couldn’t resist asking, "Is it just because of Weiwei? Are there any other reasons?"

Huh?

Other reasons?

Liu Ruihan was stunned by her father’s question.

She blinked her eyes, thought for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, a shy smile appearing on her face.

She quietly said, "Yes, of course, there are!"

As she spoke, her tongue unconsciously licked her lips, as if savoring some delicious taste.

Seeing her dad still looking at her, she lowered her head in embarrassment, playing with her fingers, intertwining them, her voice becoming softer: "It’s just... Weiwei’s dad cooks really well. I want to eat... I want to eat the food Weiwei’s dad makes."

Her voice grew softer, but the anticipation in her eyes became more evident.

Hearing their daughter’s answer, the couple couldn’t help but laugh.

They never expected that their daughter’s reason for wanting to transfer also included her desire to eat the food cooked by someone else’s parent.

Such a simple and cute reason, it was both surprising and amusing to them.

Liu Shiwei chuckled and ruffled his daughter’s hair, teasing, "Hanhan, do you want to transfer to Dorami Kindergarten, or do you want to go to Weiwei’s house to eat?"

Liu Ruihan’s eyes curved into crescents, her lips curling into a playful smile, "Daddy, Weiwei’s dad works as a chef at Dorami Kindergarten. So if I go to school there, I can eat Weiwei’s dad’s food every day, without even having to go to her house!"

After speaking, she gave Liu Shiwei a disdainful look, as if saying: "Dad, how can you be so slow?"

Liu Shiwei: "..."

Is that really the case?

He truly hadn’t thought of that!

Wen Xueqian, seeing his puzzled expression, gently filled in his blind spot.

She briefly told him about the fun story of how Hanhan and Weiwei bonded over a lemon chicken wing, how she had Aunt Ping pack some from the amusement park restaurant, and how Hanhan had said the amusement park’s wings weren’t good after trying a piece.

These tidbits stirred Liu Shiwei’s curiosity even more.

Curious about what was so special about Weiwei’s dad’s cooking?

It had managed to change Hanhan’s attitude towards chicken wings, making her fall deeply in love with the taste of lemon chicken wings, always on her mind, unable to forget.

What surprised Liu Shiwei even more was that even the renowned amusement park restaurant’s chicken wings couldn’t attract Hanhan!

It was known that the taste of the amusement park restaurant had always been recognized as good!

Yet even so!

In Hanhan’s heart, it was no match for what Weiwei’s dad made!

Therefore.

He became more and more curious about Huang Jun’s culinary skills, and also increasingly curious about Huang Jun as a person.

"Daddy, can I transfer to Dorami Kindergarten?"

Seeing her father not agreeing immediately, Hanhan reached out and shook his hand, looking at him timidly as she asked.

This...

Even though he now knew why his daughter wanted to transfer schools, Liu Shiwei felt it was too whimsical. Moreover, transferring schools gave him a feeling of wasting the investment in Hu Jin Kindergarten, so he instinctively wanted to refuse.

But just as he was about to speak, as Liu Shiwei looked into his daughter’s eyes filled with longing, his heart softened.

Thinking about it, he reasoned, "Hanhan, Daddy has shares in Hu Jin Kindergarten. The principal and teachers there will give you special attention for Daddy’s sake, but the situation at Dorami Kindergarten is different..."

Hearing her dad say this, even though she was young, Liu Ruihan could sensitively feel the hesitation and reluctance in his words.

Therefore.

The original longing in her eyes gradually turned into disappointment. She lowered her head and began to fiddle with her fingers, murmuring softly: "But I don’t like Hu Jin Kindergarten, and I don’t like being given special attention by the teachers and principal..."

What?

Liu Shiwei was stunned, surprised by his daughter’s words.

He had never realized that all the arrangements he made out of paternal love had unknowingly become a burden to his daughter.

He always thought that having shares in Hu Jin Kindergarten would pave a better growth path for his daughter, but he never realized that this was exactly what she resisted internally.

At this moment, Wen Xueqian chimed in, "Husband, since Hanhan is unhappy at Hu Jin Kindergarten, why don’t we go along with her wishes and let her try out Dorami Kindergarten? Maybe there, she can find true happiness, and get along better with other children?"

As she spoke, Wen Xueqian detailed how Hanhan had been sullen and uninterested in the amusement projects that morning, and how, after interacting with Weiwei, she seemed like a changed person. Her laughter returned, and she even actively asked to join in the amusement activities together with Weiwei afterward.

This description from Wen Xueqian made Liu Shiwei’s heart grow heavy, and he had to start reevaluating his previous decisions.

He realized that perhaps he had been too presumptuous in thinking he understood his daughter’s real needs, without standing in her shoes to feel her inner world.

And Liu Shiwei’s silence made Hanhan even more uneasy. She was worried her dad would reject her request and make her stay in a place she didn’t like.

Her eyes were filled with expectation and anxiety, waiting for her dad’s answer.

After a moment of silence...

Liu Shiwei finally conceded, "Hanhan, Daddy agrees to consider the transfer. However, before transferring, Daddy needs to check out Dorami Kindergarten himself. Can you give Daddy a few days?"

The sudden good news caught Liu Ruihan off guard, and a look of disbelief spread across her face.

When Wen Xueqian’s words reached her ears, she immediately understood her father’s decision: "Hanhan, your dad has agreed to consider the transfer, quick, thank your dad!"

"Thank you, Daddy!"

She thanked him right away, afraid that Liu Shiwei might change his mind.

Liu Shiwei chuckled.

As long as Hanhan was happy and content, what was the harm in transferring schools? Even if his daughter wanted the stars in the sky, he had to find a way to pluck them!
