“I brought you guys your favorites.”


  He bent down and gently patted their heads.

  “What favorites?”


  When the children heard his reply, their eyes shone as though all the stars in the galaxy were stored in them.

  “It’s……”


  Ji Ziming put aside the desserts he got for their mother and brought two exquisitely wrapped boxes to his kids.

  “Open them yourselves.”


  The two children curiously took the pink and blue boxes, but before they could open them, Pei Ge walked out of the kitchen in an apron.

  “Let’s eat; let’s eat. An An, Ran Ran, didn’t we agree on giving your daddy a surprise?”


  She amusedly reminded them when she saw that the two had completely forgotten about lunch after being given gifts by their father.

  “Ah!”


  The children only remembered then that they were preparing lunch for their father at their mother’s reminder.

  “Daddy, we’ll open these later! Let’s go to the dining room first!”


  The boy looked at his father seriously as he tried to suppress his urge to open the present. He put down the box and held his sister’s hand.

  “Yes! We’re giving you a surprise! Quickly head into the dining room to eat!”


  The man raised a brow at the woman, his eyes full of interest, upon seeing the children and her acting like this.

  “What surprise you guys have for me?”


  “He he! It’s a secret! Go to the dining room first, and I promise that you’ll be surprised!”


  She smiled mysteriously at him.

  Her mysterious behavior piqued his interest and curiosity even more.

  “Mhm.”


  Nodding lightly, he carried the gifts and desserts into the dining room to check out the surprise prepared by his woman and the children.

  As for Pei Ge, she brought the children back into the kitchen.

  “Son, you carry this.

  “Daughter, you carry this.

  “Be careful and try not to spill.”


  After she gave them these instructions, she carried a large tray covered by a cloth and followed the children out of the kitchen and into the dining room.

  “Our surprise is here!”


  The girl exclaimed excitedly the moment she entered the dining room.

  Lifting his head, the man shifted his gaze from the laptop to them.

  The sight of the things in the children’s hands made him stand up from the chair, but before he could go over to assist them, they told him to stay put.

  “Daddy, sit down! This is our surprise for you! You must remain seated.”


  Listening to the children’s order, this iceberg of a man could not help but smile gently.

  “Okay.”


  The woman and the children put the items on the table.

  They smiled and winked at one another before the girl beamed at the man.

  “Close your eyes now!”


  He obediently closed his eyes.

  Seeing how obedient the man was being, the three winked and opened the tray as they placed the items before him in quick motion.

  “You can open your eyes now!”


  He opened his eyes at once following the kids’ order.

  The moment he opened his eyes, he was dumbstruck.

  That was because he saw……

  “We love you!”


  Looking at the heart-shaped sandwich with his face drawn using egg yolk and the bowl of rice which had ‘Daddy, I love you!’ written on it with peas, seaweed, and ham, the man was very touched—something that he rarely felt.

  It was…… a childlike yet blissful feeling.

  “All these……”


  Looking at the dishes before his eyes, he was honestly touched despite the dishes being simple.

  “These were made by your kids,” she said, registering the man’s touched expression. “And they spent a long time doing it!”


  Ji Ziming lifted his head and looked at the children, who were looking at him with anticipation, and at the dishes again before breaking into a smile.

  “Looks really fantastic. Daddy can’t even bear to eat them……”


  The children blushed immediately following his words, and their eyes shone even more brightly.

  They were clearly blushing because of his words.

  “Daddy, eat! Next time, brother and I will make you these again.”


  “Yes! Will make these for you again!”


  The children stood on both sides of him as they looked at him expectantly.

  He nodded and picked up the chopsticks to eat the children’s cooking.

  “It’s so delicious.”


  The children became even more excited at his praises.

  “Daddy, I drew your head! This one was made by bro……”


  Seeing the father and children’s sweet interaction, Pei Ge felt comforted and happy.

  Still, feeling left out, she felt slightly jealous and coughed lightly.

  “
”


  This pulled the others back to their senses, and they all turned to look at her.

  “Mommy is upset; you two have never prepared any love-filled lunch for me!”


  She pretended to look hurt before her children, but her true feelings were quickly exposed by the two.

  “He he! Shame-shame!”


  The girl made a funny face at her before pouting.

  “You’re also preparing a love-filled lunch for daddy alongside us!”


  “That’s right! Mommy prepared longer than us, in fact!”


  The boy nodded, and just like his sister’s, his expressionless face was full of smiles.

  “.……”


  She felt embarrassed upon being exposed by her children, and when she saw the man’s smile which was not quite a smile, she felt even more abashed.

  All of a sudden, her face reddened.

  The man stopped everything he was doing and said something totally out of character.

  “Wifey, what love-filled lunch did you make for me?”
