Presidential Palace, after breakfast.
Chi Xiaoyu smiled and walked up to Yeh Cangqiong. Looking up at him, she reached out, ready to adjust his tie, but he instinctively stepped back, clearly guarded.
That subtle motion sparked doubt in her heart.
"By the way, did you like the omelette rice this morning?"
"Let me fix your tie. It looks crooked!"
Chi Xiaoyu smiled slightly and attempted to move closer, reaching out again.
This time, he didn't resist. He stood still, letting her skillful hands adjust his tie.
"You've lost a lot of weight lately. Has it been very hard being out there? That woman who kidnapped you—who is she, exactly?" she asked, her tone seemingly casual.
He remained silent for a long time. "The omelette rice…was too salty. Moving forward, just give me bread for breakfast."
"Oh!" She withdrew her hands.
At that moment, Xiao Tian and Xiao Guai ran over together.
"Daddy, don't forget my present!" Xiao Tian waved enthusiastically.
