Chapter 13: The Curious Daughters! Gathering Seven Daughters to Summon the Dragon
Seeing Su Wanqiu slip into the kitchen, Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi, still standing in place, felt uncomfortable being with Xu Hao.
“We’ll go help Mom…”
The duo hurriedly rushed to the kitchen.
Watching the twins, Xu Hao rubbed his chin and thought for a while.
‘Should I be changing his daughters’ impression of me?’
Well, he wasn’t really after fatherly affection.
Improving their relationship would keep his daughters close to him, providing better emotion points…
Right now, his daughters had no feelings for him and would rather keep their distance.
If this went on, he wouldn’t gain any emotion points.
On the other hand, he couldn’t just kidnap all of his daughters and keep them by his side, could he?
…
In the kitchen, Su Wanqiu was washing the vegetables. However, she looked absent-minded as if she was thinking about something…
Xu Hao had truly changed.
Since the day before yesterday when Xu Hao had a deep conversation with her, he had stopped being indifferent to her.
Instead, he treated her like a real wife.
He even knew how to be loving.
Last night, when Xu Hao entered her room, he really scared her…
Xu Hao said they would just sleep together and not have any deep conversations.
Of course, excluding some minor actions.
The matter of him kissing her lips was another issue…
In spite of all this, she felt quite warm inside.
‘No, no, no… Su Wanqiu, oh Su Wanqiu, why would you have such thoughts?’
‘Clearly, Xu Hao forced you, and today, it happened again without your consent…’
He said they would just sleep together without doing anything, but in the end, he held her head down, and she struggled all along.
How could Xu Hao be a good person?
He was just a ruthless thug who did evil things.
Dong, dong, dong…
Footsteps sounded.
Before Su Wanqiu could react, Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi had already appeared at her side.
“Mom, let me help you…”
Xu Shiqing took her vegetables away and started washing them.
Seeing this, Su Wanqiu snapped out of her daze and quickly said to twinds.
“The kitchen is full of cooking fumes. You two should go out quickly; I’ll be done soon…”
Xu Huayi glanced at Xu Hao in the living room and pouted.
“We don’t want to stay with him.”
“Mom, just let us help you. We’ve learned cooking…”
Su Wanqiu knew the relationship between Xu Hao and the daughters, so she said nothing more.
She began to prepare the fire to cook.
But suddenly, Xu Huayi sneakily approached and asked mysteriously.
“Mom… what’s the situation between you and that person? I thought you didn’t like each other?”
“He still often hits you and scolds you. How come you are still chatting with him…”
..!
Su Wanqiu quickly ran to the kitchen to avoid this situation.
But she didn’t expect them to ask still.
Why were children so curious?
The blush that was about to fade away instantly reappeared to her face.
“You… you…”
Su Wanqiu stuttered, looked at the two sisters watching her with innocent expressions, and could only say: “Actually… he has changed…”
At this point, she should have used an intimate tone.
But she couldn’t bring herself to do it.
She still used the word ‘he’ to refer to him.
Seeing the two sisters’ curious, baby-like expressions, Su Wanqiu paused and continued: “He has changed, he won’t treat me as before, and I believe it’s the same for you…”
She didn’t even believe it herself.
From Xu Hao’s behavior these days, it was obvious he’d changed.
Su Wanqiu could only say that.
She couldn’t say she developed feelings after being forced; that would be too pleasant.
Despite not being her biological daughters, she watched her two daughters grow up.
She couldn’t be so thick-skinned…
…
Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi were dumbfounded.
That was it?
They didn’t understand what Su Wanqiu meant by saying Xu Hao had changed.
But the last time they returned wasn’t too long ago.
At that time, the stepmother and Xu Hao were still like strangers…
In other words, did Xu Hao just give her away with kind words?
The two sisters’ expressions were complicated.
They didn’t believe Su Wanqiu’s word that Xu Hao wouldn’t treat them as before.
After all, nearly twenty years of impressions couldn’t be changed with just a few words.
The mom and daughters worked together to make a delicious meal…
At the dining table—
Xu Hao picked up a piece of braised beef and put it in his mouth, sighing as he ate.
“I didn’t expect Wanqiu’s cooking skills are so good. Much better than the miad’s…”
Su Wanqiu felt a bit embarrassed.
“This was made by Shiqing.”
“Oh? Really? It’s good. It suits my taste…”
Xu Hao turned to look across the table and praised Xu Shiqing.
Xu Shiqing who was eating quietly, raised her head in surprise at the praise.
She made sure she hadn’t misheard Xu Hao praise her, and he even smiled at her.
Could it be… what stepmother said was true?
Did Xu Hao really change his attitude toward them?
At this time, Xu Hao curiously spoke again. “Shiqing did a good job. I wonder if Huayi has cooked?”
“That plate of shredded pork with green peppers was made by her, and this one… and that one was made by Shiqing…”
Xu Hao tasted the shredded pork with green peppers, closed his eyes slightly, and pretended to appreciate the food. He then opened his eyes and praised her. “Huayi’s cooking is also delicious. It’s only a little bit worse than your sister’s. Keep it up next time…”
He wasn’t just talking nonsense.
The twins had indeed learned how to cook from somewhere and had done a good job.
They weren’t much worse than those chefs; they outstripped them by several streets from his previous life…
Xu Huayi looked confused.
This father, who always had a cold face, never cared about anything, and often scolded them, was actually praising her…
She glanced at her sister.
Xu Huayi found that her sister was also looking at her, and they could both see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
[Ding! Xu Shiqing’s emotion points, emotional value +666]
[Ding! Xu Huayi’s emotions points, emotional value +666]
The two sisters’ emotions were triggered simultaneously.
Xu Hao decided to double his efforts to keep these daughters at home.
It was too much of a waste to let them roam outside…
All for emotion points.
Xu Hao was confident.
With his rich experience, dealing with these two little girls was a piece of cake.
After handling these two, wouldn’t the other five be even easier?
His goal was to gather all seven daughters and summon the dragon…
