Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Parent-Child Outfit_1
Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, after finishing their meal and greeting Xu Fan, hurried out the door. Xinghai Media had to hold an emergency meeting today, to discuss preparations for the company’s response to the stock market’s current volatile movements. At the same time, Ye Xiaoning had also arranged for two of her classmates to come to Xinghai Media to help out in an emergency, so Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning were very rushed, leaving immediately after eating without even cleaning up.
Xu Fan looked at the plates, bowls, and utensils left by the two women and deftly threw them all into the kitchen dishwasher, then quickly wiped the table clean.
Tongtong had already hung a bib-like napkin around her neck and picked up a small spoon, looking at Xu Fan with anticipation.
After Xu Fan had finished clearing the table and cutlery, he ladled a full bowl of porridge for Tongtong.
Ye Xiaoning had made porridge and steamed buns for breakfast, with dishes of shredded radish and scrambled eggs with tomatoes—indeed, it was a very health-conscious meal, clearly reflecting Xu Yixue’s preferred style.
Tongtong, the little devil who couldn’t enjoy a meal without meat, didn’t seem to mind. She grabbed a steamed bun and started to nibble on the soft bread while sipping her porridge.
Xu Fan had now reached the realm of indifference to eating or not. He acted as Little Tongtong’s personal waiter, alternating between blowing on her porridge, serving her vegetables, and tearing up the steamed buns for her, appearing as if he intended to spoil his daughter to the heavens.
The breakfast took nearly an hour to finish, and the young child, Tongtong, astonishingly ate two large steamed buns and drank three bowls of porridge. She ate more than Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning combined.
“Daddy, there’s a sports event at the community today. Tongtong needs to eat a lot to win first place,” Tongtong said, patting her little stomach contentedly and belching before speaking to Xu Fan.
If Tongtong hadn’t mentioned it, Xu Fan might have forgotten. He had previously promised the little devil that he would accompany her to the community sports event.
This darn sports event even required parental participation, and given the serious situation at Xu Yixue’s company, she couldn’t possibly make it. So naturally, the task fell on Xu Fan.
Xu Fan was pondering whether to show his full strength or hide a little during the upcoming games when suddenly the sound of a key turning in the door came.
Xu Fan released his Sea of Consciousness, instantly covering the area at the entrance, and saw that it was Li Yueqin, the top-notch housekeeping assistant requested by Xu Yixue.
Upon seeing Xu Fan, Li Yueqin showed no surprise; after all, she had already met him before. Xu Fan, on the other hand, was pleased to see Li Yueqin. Although he was more than capable of doing household chores, as if he had three heads and six arms, and could easily match ten people’s work, he was, after all, a Cultivation World overlord who had shaken the Wanfang Tianyu. Having Xu Fan do housekeeping was indeed like using a nuclear missile to kill a mosquito.
Li Yueqin, noticing that Xu Fan and Tongtong had just finished eating, quickly demonstrated the qualities of a gold-medal housekeeper. She took an apron from the kitchen, tied it around herself, and respectfully said to Xu Fan, “Mr. Xu, please let me handle this. You go tend to your matters.”
Xu Fan nodded and smiled at Li Yueqin, “Then I’ll leave it to you, thank you.”
“It’s no trouble. This is our job, as long as the customer is satisfied,” Li Yueqin replied with a professional smile, then began to deftly clean up the dining table.
Xu Fan glanced at the time; because Little Tongtong had taken quite a while to eat, it was nearly 8:20 a.m. There were less than ten minutes left until the community’s announced gathering time for the sports event.
“Sweetheart, Daddy will change your clothes, and then we’ll go to the sports event together,” Xu Fan said as he picked up Tongtong and dashed into her room.
Li Yueqin was busy cleaning up the table and thus did not notice Xu Fan’s movement. If she had seen it, her jaw might have dropped to the ground.
Xu Fan’s figure flashed into Tongtong’s room in an instant, leaving not even a hint of an afterimage on the ground. His speed was almost equivalent to teleportation.
With that speed, not to mention a community sports meeting, even if it were the Olympic Games held across the entire Sea Blue Star, Xu Fan would be unrivaled, without any competitor in sight.
After entering Tongtong’s room, Xu Fan found dozens of Tongtong’s outfits in two large wardrobes. Every piece of clothing in the wardrobe was clearly of exquisite quality and brand-name, revealing that Xu Yixue, as a mother, truly devoted a lot of care to her daughter.
Xu Fan’s eyes swept slowly through the wardrobe before he picked a pure white tracksuit and a pair of delicate sports shoes.
The clothes and shoes were all branded with the Nike Swoosh.
“Tongtong, how about wearing this outfit today?” Xu Fan held up the clothes and asked Tongtong.
“Yay! Daddy is wearing white, and Tongtong is wearing white, too—we’ll be matching in our parent-child outfits!” Tongtong clapped her small hands, happily telling Xu Fan.
“Haha, matching outfits, perfect indeed. This will be my little girl’s battle dress for today.” Xu Fan shook the tracksuit in his hand and then lifted Tongtong up to change her into the white sports outfit.
“Daddy, and the shoes!” Tongtong jumped out of Xu Fan’s arms, sat on the bed, kicked off her pink slippers, and revealed a pair of chubby little feet.
“Haha, here are the shoes!” Xu Fan took Tongtong’s little socks and carefully put them on her feet. While dressing the little girl’s feet, he took the opportunity to tickle the soles, making her giggle with laughter.
“Stinky daddy, naughty daddy, don’t tickle Tongtong’s feet… tickle tickle tickle.” The little girl kicked her feet on the bed, creating a joyously playful scene.
Seeing it was getting late, Xu Fan stopped tickling Tongtong and started carefully putting shoes on the little princess.
He slipped the shoes onto her feet and then tied each lace securely. It seemed like a simple task, yet Xu Fan handled it with great care, his face radiating a glow that only a father possessed.
After the shoes were on, Tongtong happily jumped down from the bed, twisting left and right to test the new sports shoes on her feet.
“The shoes daddy put on Tongtong feel so comfy.” Tongtong bounced around on the floor, her expression filled with excitement.
“Baby, are you ready now?” Xu Fan bent down to pick up Tongtong and asked the little princess in his arms affectionately.
“Hee hee, Tongtong is all ready. This time, Tongtong is going to be the champion,” Tongtong said excitedly, clenching her little fists.
“No problem!” Xu Fan snapped his fingers and, holding Tongtong, prepared to head out.
