Then he looked at me and said, "I am thinking of taking a break from my career. I mean, since all these years I have been busy making my career and going to shoots every day, but now I want to spend more time with my silly girl and our little stubborn troublemaker," he said while cooking the food.
Then I took his hands in my hands and said, "Yuan, if you are taking a break, then let me tell you, don't you dare think of taking it, because I want—no, not want, it's my dream—that our little stubborn troublemaker will grow up watching you in dramas. I want her to see how fine and great an actor her Pa really is, and I want her to fall in love with you while watching your dramas, just like I did," I said.
He smiled, getting a bit shy, and then he said, "You are really something. Your dreams are just very different from ordinary people," he said.
"Of course I am your silly girl, and your silly girl isn't some ordinary girl," I said to him.
Then he said, "So now you have finally accepted that you are not some ordinary girl, and when I always used to say this to you, you always denied it, isn't it?" he asked me.
And then I looked at him and said, "That was just because I wanted you to say it, and I really like it when you say that to me."
He chuckled and said, "But now it's time for breakfast, and then we need to go to some schools also. I have already checked online about a few schools where we can get her admission," he said.
I smiled very proudly while looking at him and said, "Wow, such an amazing and great husband I got. I am so lucky. Only my Yuan Yuan can do it."
"Here to flatter me again, aren't you?" he said.
And then the breakfast finally got ready, and we headed to our dining table. Then I sat on the chair at the dining table and took a deep sigh and said, "Go and call our little stubborn troublemaker for breakfast. After all, only you can handle her."
"Yes, only I can. And not only her, I am the only one who can handle both of you," he said.
I smiled and looked at him and said, "Yes, because we both are yours only, forever."
And then he headed to her room and brought her to the dining table, and there we really had a great time eating together.
Our mornings are always just like this. Our cute little family of three makes breakfast together and eats together, and this has been our usual routine for the past five years. We wake up together, we laugh together, we spend time together, and this is how our usual mornings look.
I had never thought that my dream at seventeen, when I used to imagine a life with my celebrity crush, Xu Yuan, would one day ever be fulfilled. At that time, I only thought about it and imagined it on my own while lying on my bed after coming back from school. I had never thought that one day I would ever be able to live my dream as my reality. I had never thought that all my imaginations would become real, especially the ones I was so hopeless about.
But this is it. I didn't know where all these five years had flown away, but still, even after all these five years, I keep falling for him more and more with each passing day. Every day I love him more than yesterday, and today I love you, my Yuan Yuan, more than all those years we have spent together. And tomorrow I will love you more than today. And this is how Mrs. Xu Zhao Shiza loves her Xu Yuan.
I said these things to myself in my thoughts while watching them eat and laugh together, and it felt like this was it, this was the moment I had been living for all these years.
And then suddenly Chen Shiyuan spilled the porridge on her dress and the table.
I looked at her, and before I could even say a word to her, Yuan had already said, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't get angry at her. She is only five, and you are treating her like she's fifteen," he said while wiping the spilled porridge from her clothes.
Then I took a deep sigh and said, "She always does this. It's her daily routine. In every meal she messes up the table and herself too," I said.
"Ma is getting so angry, Pa," she said in her cute little voice, the voice in which she knew her Pa would melt immediately.
And then he immediately took her into his arms and said, "No problem. I'll go and clean her. You just relax. Don't get angry," he said.
"You are the one who spoiled her. I am telling you, no school is going to handle her troublemaker nature," I said.
"Tell me which school has the guts to say no to Xu Yuan's daughter," he said, and then he took her away to clean her.
And then I said to them in a louder tone, "You both father-daughter duo are really going insane, and I am the only one handling both of your craziness."
Then after a few minutes they came back, and Yuan placed her back on her chair.
Then I looked at him and said, "Yuan, you are really spoiling her enough. Don't you think so?" I asked him.
He smiled and looked at me and said, "She is mine to spoil. Let me. And even you are also," he said.
Then I smiled. He really knew very well how to make me blush in any situation, at any time. No matter what mood I was in, he knew it too well.
"Pa, I want ice cream," she said to Yuan.
"Okay, Pa is bringing it within a minute," he said to her.
Then I looked at him while folding both my arms and said, "Can't you both stay still and finish breakfast first? And eating ice cream in the morning?" I said while looking at her. "Chen Shiyuan, you already ate two bowls of ice cream yesterday night, and now you want it again at breakfast. This is not good for your health. I am definitely going to lock the fridge," I said.
Then she smiled so shamelessly while looking at me and said, "Okay, Ma. I know Pa will bring me ice cream anyway," she said.
"See, look at her. She is teasing me now," I said.
And then they both started laughing together while looking at me.
"You both are the same. I am not going to talk to either of you," I said, and then...
