After spending the whole night in the cold spring weather, Ye Yuwei eventually came down with a cold.

Not only did she not wake up in the morning, she was also blessed with a runny nose.

Xixi laid down next to Ye Yuwei and kept touching her forehead with her small hands. She was very worried about her mum.

At that very moment, Ye Xicheng was in the kitchen, fuming.

“No, not like that! Why did you slice it so thickly? You need to remove the skin first.”

Ye Xicheng, although still young, was more well versed in cooking than his father. He was pacing in the kitchen agitatedly. His dad was indeed devoid of the cooking skill.

Gu Juexi looked at the badly chopped ginger on the chopping board. He frowned and picked up a piece, wondering how to remove the skin.

“Oh my G.o.d.” Ye Xicheng smacked his face with his hand. He turned around and went out of the kitchen, coming back with a stool. He climbed onto it and took another piece of fresh ginger, then proceeded to pick up a kitchen knife and peel the skin off carefully before slicing it.

Gu Juexi held a piece of ginger he had sliced earlier and looked at Ye Xicheng as he sliced the ginger, worried that he might cut himself.

And then he realized…

He was probably better off worrying about himself.

Ye Xicheng sliced the ginger and instructed his dad to prepare a pot of water to soak the ginger in.

Gu Juexi took out a pot, filled it with water and immediately placed it on the stove.

“You have to brush it clean first! Ah, you’re p.i.s.sing me off!”

Ye Xicheng’s tiny hand was still holding the knife and Gu Juexi wondered if his son was going to chop him up.

Gu Juexi obediently brushed the pot and refilled it with fresh water. At least he knew how to start a fire.

Ye Xicheng placed the ginger into the pot and carefully put the lid on.

“Once it’s boiled, just add sugar and it’s done.”Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

Ye Xicheng was furious. How was this man going to take care of Mommy like this?

Luckily there were maids in the house.

Gu Juexi had been thoroughly lectured. He felt more like the son than the father right now.

The ginger soup was ready. Luckily he knew how to pour it into a bowl.

Gu Juexi carried the bowl of hot soup upstairs. He helped Ye Yuwei sit up and gently touched her forehead. The fever hadn’t subsided yet.

“Drink this,” Gu Juexi said in a pained tone. “After this, we’ll head down the hill.”

“You made this?” Ye Yuwei asked in surprise. She knew he and the kitchen weren’t really the best combination.

Gu Juexi let out a cough. The rather ugly truth was that his son had made it.

Ye Yuwei looked at the embarra.s.sed Gu Juexi, then at her son’s helpless face. Although falling sick was pure torture, this scene somehow made her feel very happy.

Ye Xicheng stomped back and forth in the living room, complaining about how dumb his father was when it came to essential life skills. It was infuriating.

Gu Juexi didn’t retaliate for once.

He just stood there and watched his son pace. The handphone on the table suddenly rang and he picked it up. After seeing the caller ID, he answered the call.

“h.e.l.lo.” After a while, he frowned while watching his wife drinking the soup. Finally, he said, “Alright, I understand.”

Ye Yuwei put the bowl aside and looked at him.

“What happened?”

“We need to leave soon. There are troops on the hill performing their training.”

Although he was the owner, he still had to tolerate these activities.

Ye Yuwei quickly tossed her blanket away as Gu Juexi helped her off the bed.

Ye Xicheng held his sister’s hand and followed his parents. Gu Juexi carried Ye Yuwei and climbed down the stairs, helping her into her car. After securing Xixi into the car seat, Ye Xicheng walked over to the other side and hopped into the backseat.
