"A vacation?" On the other end of the line, Vivian was obviously a little surprised by the request.

Su Qinglan glanced at Xiao Ze and Gu Jin Chi who were talking and laughing at the table, Xiao Ze hadn't been that happy in a long time.

She reentered the restroom, "Well, it's Ze's birthday and I haven't been with him in a long time, you follow the rules on the attendance side."

Vivian suddenly laughed, "I thought it was something, you don't have to worry about attendance, you usually just need to be there when there's nothing big going on in the company."

"You guys go have fun, have fun."

"But the board side ..." She was still a little relieved to think about how the people of Windward had treated her, and now she was suddenly taking a short vacation for a period of time.

She even felt a little sorry for Lord Ren as well.

"It's fine, don't worry, you can't expect those old things to accept anyone, they didn't even scold Mr. Ren behind his back." Vivian comforted her, "Don't worry about going to accompany Xiao Ze, say happy birthday to him for me."

"Thanks." She hung up and thought about it.

The mall is like a battlefield, not only colleagues can not be trusted, the boss is also waiting to glean a fortune at any time.

She wouldn't be so stupid as to play sincere defection with a few old gremlins, but she was just worried that such a backdoor relationship would cause trouble for Lord Ren.

But if something did happen, she'd have to smooth the matter over by leaving Kazukoshi.

After washing her hands to stimulate her drifting thoughts with coolness, she returned to the table and pinched Zee's little face, "Had enough? It's getting late, we should head home."

"Uh-huh!" Ze nodded vigorously and rubbed his eyes again, "Mommy ... I'm sleepy."

"Good girl, hold on a little longer, we'll be home in a while." When she finished speaking, she was suddenly in a bit of a quandary.

Gu Jinchi had been drinking, so only she could drive.

She looked at Gu Jinchi, "Where are you going?"

"I'll accompany you to send Xiao Ze back first." With that, Gu Jinchi signaled her side with his eyes.

This sleepy energy of Ozawa came fast, and little by little, his eyes had closed as his little head did so.

Zee had grown quite a bit in the meantime, and she could no longer hold him a bit, so if Zee fell asleep in the car, she was in a bit of a pickle.

When they got home, Gu Jinchi went to settle Xiao Ze, and she turned her head and went into the restroom to remove her makeup.

In such a short while, when she came out again, there was an extra fleece blanket on the couch and a pillow added.

It didn't need to be said to know that Gu Jinchi had the intention of staying the night.

"We just happen to be going to the countryside from here together tomorrow, you've been tired all day, go rest." His voice came from behind her.

When he turned his head, Gu Jinchi had already changed out of his suit and put on a housecoat.

It's more like it was prepared.

"You still have clothes here?" She turned her head and looked over with some amusement.

"Uh-huh." Gu Jinchi faintly responded, "I stayed over here a while ago and left a few changes of clothes."

Watching him turn and go into the restroom, she was suddenly a little emotional.

For people like Gu Jinchi or Renlord, a house was already a mere shelter, not something to carry feelings.

As long as it's a house, it's fine to decorate it and put a couple of clothes in it and bring it to rest.

The Gu family should be the same for him.

When I woke up from a nap, there was already the sound of banging and cooking in the kitchen.

She was thinking that the nanny Gu Jinchi had found came a bit early when she suddenly noticed a hint of something wrong.

The door to the second bedroom was wide open, Ze wasn't in there, there was no one in the bathroom, the living room was all but empty, and it was as if father and son had evaporated.

She went to push open the kitchen door to ask for clarification, only to find that Gu Jinchi and Xiao Ze were actually both cats together in the kitchen not knowing what they were doing.

On the table and on the floor, there was some white powder that looked like it should be flour.

"What are you two ... doing?"

She looked at the mess that entered her eyes, in fact her eyes were telling her that maybe the father and son were learning to cook, but it looked like they had come to blow up the kitchen.

"Mommy you're up." Zee turned his head, a white puff of flour east and west of his little face.

He raised his face, his little face smiling like a flower, "Daddy and I want to learn how to make a cake, I want to taste what a cake I make tastes like."

Xiao Ze had become a flower cat, and Gu Jin Chi wasn't much better.

He also got a few white faces between his handsome eyebrows, "You go ahead and clean up, An Nian will come to pick us up in a while."

As soon as the words left his mouth, there was a subtle rattle from the combination lock on the door to the room, followed by the sound of the door closing.

Annian arrived with two large shopping bags full of baking supplies and a basket of eggs.

Looks like this father and son are serious.

"Fu ... Miss Su." An Nian greeted politely and sent the things into the kitchen.

She nodded and watched as the kitchen, stuffed with three people, brewed a cup of coffee.

She really couldn't think of how Gu Jinchi could have any time to go into the kitchen, and when she said she was making a cake, she probably couldn't even fry an egg.

"Daddy, I think I put too much cake flour, it says five hundred, this is already six hundred." Zee reminded in a loud voice as she looked earnestly at the phonetically labeled baking manual in the kitchen.

Gu Jinchi shushed and composed himself calmly in response, and without looking at what he was doing with his hands, he was afraid that he would think that he was dealing with the company's urgent matters.

It's true, men are handsome even when they're cooking if they're serious.

"More is more, and a little more of everything else." Unimpressed, he continued to follow the steps on the baking tutorial with a frown on his face.

An Nian looked at all this in front of him in silence, and couldn't help but give Su Qinglan a bow and go out the door again.

The sound of whisks and beaters coming from the kitchen, and the sound of the oven timer, instantly gave the home a bit of a smoky atmosphere.

She was just sitting at the bar flipping through the baking magazines she'd bought when the next moment she smelled a pasty odor coming from the kitchen.

...

By the time she got there, a faint black smoke had filled the oven.

The cake Gu Jinchi pulled out of the oven was charred and black, and if she hadn't known they hadn't prepared cocoa powder, she could have fooled herself that it might have been a chocolate flavor.

The charred black cake was placed in front of the three people, and Gu Jinchi's face was extraordinarily grave.

This is what he advocated for, and I didn't realize it was just that?

Su Qinglan was able to hold back her laughter, but Xiao Ze was mercilessly mocking, "Daddy, didn't you just say it was fine?"

"What is this dark thing? Is it edible?"

"You're the one who put too much flour in it." His face darkened and he decisively dumped everything into the trash, "I'll do it myself this time."

"Che, even if I'm not there, daddy you might not be as good as I am." The little guy's interest subsided quite a bit, turned around and ran out and threw himself into Su Qinglan's arms, "Mommy, I'm so hungry, what are we going to eat?"

"It's been a busy morning ... You guys haven't eaten yet?" She froze.

"Don't mind him, there's bread in the fridge." Gu Jinchi didn't raise his head, as if his entire being was enamored into this baking thing.

Looking at the way he was almost accurate to 0.01 on the scale, Su Qinglan helplessly lost her smile, "That's no way to eat dry bread."

Luckily, the kitchen was wide enough, so she went to the fridge and pulled out slices of bread, grabbed sides and eggs out, and skillfully made a couple of sandwiches out of it by unscrewing the gas.

Gu Jinchi's side had also already made the cake batter once again and sent it into the oven with great anticipation.

The man who had been so busy all morning that his tie was flying to the back was looking a little miserable at the moment.

The black suit was smeared with a lot of who knows what, cake batter or something else, and there was more and more flour on his face.

She stifled a laugh and handed over the sandwiches and milk, "It's been hard work, take a break."

This sandwich was a world away from the blackened stuff he made.

He looked at the sandwiches, which were all very color-coordinated, and froze slightly, "When did you learn to cook?"

"I always do, but not much." She answered as a matter of course.

For such a long time, she wouldn't even have the opportunity or time to cook.

Not to mention that it was just her and Ze most of the time, and cooking for herself wasn't as convenient as babysitting.

Gu Jinchi fell silent, and as the three of them worked together with breakfast, a faint scent wafted out from the kitchen.

It's the characteristic aroma of chiffon cake.

"It smells so good!" Zee sniffed in ecstasy, "No way, Daddy actually succeeded?"

The little guy's tone was full of shock, as if from the time of the proposal, he had never had any hope that Gu Jinchi would be able to make the cake.

"What do you mean surprisingly, success is taken for granted." Gu Jinchi sipped off half his cup of coffee and glanced at the timer.

His hand rubbed purposefully over the handle of his mug, vaguely revealing anxiety.

Su Qinglan saw through it without saying anything, and already had a rough result in her heart.

In anticipation, the oven dings and the entire room is almost filled with the scent.

"Well?" Gu Jinchi looked at her with some smugness between his brows.

"You'll have to take it out to see how it is." She went ahead and put on her gloves and pulled the cake embryo out of the oven.

In the expectant eyes of both father and son, the cake embryo that had climbed so high fell back down at the speed of light and became a cake once again.

At once, the two disappointed faces made Su Qinglan unable to help herself.

She removed the cake bites and set them on the table, stifling a smile and reassuringly said, "At least this one didn't go mushy, that's already a step up, want to do it again?"

"Don't, the teacher said it's shameful to waste food." Ozawa shook his head back and forth, he didn't trust this man anymore.

Gu Jinchi, however, still looks a bit disheartened, especially by Xiao Ze's comment about wasting food.

It adds an extra imperfect blemish to his successful man's polished persona.

He had created many of the industry's peaks, so how could he be defeated by such a trivial matter?

He couldn't lose face in front of Ze and Su Qinglan.

"It's true that baking isn't very easy and time consuming, try something else next time." She smiled and relieved herself, after helping to clean up the kitchen . . went into the bedroom to organize.
