Chapter 46 - Misunderstanding caused by Steamed Buns
Su Tao did not inform Yan Jing that Hua Yan had mild autism as it might cause Yan Jing to be worried and do something that would worsen Hua Yan's condition.
If children were not given proper care for their psychological illnesses, it might cause their illnesses to worsen. Hua Yan was still not considered as severe since she did not close off her heart completely. It could be quickly treated with proper care and protection.
Su Tao chose a western cuisine restaurant that was pretty filled. He found a table in the corner and sat down, while Hua Yan decided to sit beside him, causing Yan Jing to helplessly sigh, "I never expected that she would be so dependent on you."
"Girls are smart, and it's normal for them to like handsome studs like me." Su Tao smiled.
The waiter quickly came over with the menu. Yan Jing rolled her eyes at Su Tao before she smiled. "Daughter, what do you want to eat?"
Hua Yan raised her head and timidly looked at Yan Jing before she lowered her head and continued playing with her teddy bear.
Seeing the disappointment in Yan Jing's eyes, Su Tao took the menu and smiled. "I know what kids like. Streak, spaghetti, doughnut, pumpkin soup and chicken wings! They look pretty good. We'll have these then."
Yan Jing glared at Su Tao since she thought that he ordered a little too much. He practically ordered everything on the menu and even claimed to know what kids liked.
When the food came, Su Tao gave a steak to Hua Yan before smiling at Yan Jing. "Help yourself!"
Seeing how Su Tao carefully fed Hua Yan, Yan Jing smiled. "I never expected you to have the potential to be a super home dad!"
Hua Yan refused at the start, but she was finally willing to take a bite after his constant hard work. Su Tao felt relieved since he knew that he had finally opened up a tiny hole in Hua Yan's heart before looking at Yan Jing. "I still have many abilities that you don't know about. Not only can I be a super home dad, but I can also be a super lover!"
Yan Jing stared at Su Tao. She knew that he was retaliating against her teasing him on keeping him. Yan Jing gritted her teeth in her heart since it didn't feel good that someone had her Achilles Heel.
The daughter that she once lost had naturally become her Achilles Heel.
Yan Jing's mood loosened up when she saw Hua Yan eating two portions of steak because Hua Yan didn't eat much ever since she took her back. When she left the restaurant, she even burped twice, which caused Su Tao to smile. "Looks like you're full; it's worth the money your mother spent."
Hua Yan bashfully smiled as she held onto Su Tao's hand. Su Tao felt a cold touch in his hand, and when he saw Yan Jing's dampened mood, he stretched his hand out to hold her hand.
Yan Jing's eyes instantly widened before she softly asked, "What are you doing?"
Su Tao twitched his lips towards another direction. "Look at the family of others!"
There was a kid standing in the middle with his parents on each side.
Yan Jing snorted as she muttered, "We're not a family, anyway!"
Su Tao smiled as he lowered his voice, "Act for Hua Yan."
Yan Jing stiffened before she closed her hand and allowed it to be grasped by Su Tao. She felt her hand sweating, which made her feel greasy. However, when she saw the vague smile on the corner of Hua Yan's lips, her heart calmed down. Perhaps this was the best method for Hua Yan to accept her.
Pa.s.sing by the amus.e.m.e.nt park, Su Tao nudged Yan Jing with a smile. "How about we go in and play for a while?"
"I'm afraid of heights!" Yan Jing said when she saw the Ferris wheel.
Su Tao completely ignored her words and looked at Hua Yan. "Yanyan, shall we go play in the amus.e.m.e.nt park?"
