Daddy's Gourmet Shop Chapter 41: Daddy, Mimi Likes This Name!

After seeing off the dining custors, Huang Tao simply cleaned up the shop.

Then he quickly took Xuanxuan and the little yellow cat to a nearby pet shop.

After the pet shop owner went through a whole set of washing, flea removal, deworming, fur trimming, and vaccination procedures.

The little yellow cat that was a bit dirty had a complete makeover.

Its appearance and cuteness index instantly soared from 10 to 80!

With thick fur, the color on its head was yellow and white, and its whole body was orange, except for its feet which were white, like wearing a pair of clean white socks.

Its big, dark eyes were lively and spirited, and its round, flat head gave it an extra bit of adorableness.

Xuanxuan, looking eagerly at it, asked, "Daddy, can I hold it now?"

"Of course, you can!"

Huang Tao carefully placed the clean little yellow cat into Xuanxuan’s arms.

Xuanxuan, like obtaining a treasure, held it tightly in her embrace.

Unwilling to let go!

"ow~"

Oh no, I’m trapped~

The poor little yellow cat was being hugged so tightly by her that its tongue stuck out, and its limbs were trembling, trying to break free from her grip.

But unfortunately, it wasn’t strong enough, so it had to reluctantly accept its fate as a cuddle cushion.

Even so, it didn’t attempt to scratch Xuanxuan.

Not because it was gentle by nature.

But because, under the roof, the cat had to bow its head.

In order to eat as many fried buns as it wants in the future, even the proudest cat must submit to its little caretaker!

Well done!

Seeing that the one-person-one-cat interaction was relatively harmonious, Huang Tao felt at ease.

"Let’s go ho!"

He readily paid, picked up a bag of cat supplies, and took Xuanxuan ho.

Once ho.

Panting heavily, Xuanxuan finally couldn’t bear to put the little yellow cat down.

Sigh~

I’m breathless~

The little yellow cat imdiately sprung forward, ran around the living room quickly, then to the kitchen, and soon to the bedroom.

As if patrolling its territory.

Soon, it ran back to the living room.

And then lay lazily at Huang Tao’s feet.

Huang Tao saw this and, smiling, picked it up.

"ow~"

The little yellow cat stuck out its tiny pink tongue and licked his hand, appearing very affectionate.

Xuanxuan, seeing this, felt a little envious.

She extended her chubby little hand, offering it to the little yellow cat.

The result was...

The little yellow cat only sniffed it a few tis with its nose, without licking.

This ti, Xuanxuan was unhappy!

She pouted slightly with grievance.

Hmpf~

Stinky cat, ungrateful~

If it weren’t for her asking Daddy to keep it, this guy would still be sleeping on the street now!

Huang Tao naturally noticed her bit of grievance.

He laughed and said, "After spending a few more days together, you’ll get familiar. From now on, Daddy will entrust you with feeding and walking the cat. Can you do that?"

"Daddy, Xuanxuan promises to complete the task."

Xuanxuan made a salute gesture to demonstrate her determination.

That little gesture amused Huang Tao.

He put the little yellow cat back in her arms, "Xuanxuan, why don’t you give the little yellow cat a na?"

Ah~

Na it?

What na should it have?

Not knowing many characters, she was troubled!

She tilted her head, rolling her big, round eyes, pondering hard.

However, Huang Tao didn’t plan to participate.

He intended to fully hand over the naming rights to her.

A na you earnestly think of yourself is the one you like the most.

Xuanxuan thought seriously for a long ti, then hesitatingly said, "Mimi?"

She tilted her head to look at him, weakly asking, "Daddy, do you think it sounds nice?"

Uh...

This na is really...

Huang Tao suddenly felt a bit pained.

"Yes, this na sounds great."

But to avoid undermining Xuanxuan’s confidence, Huang Tao had to lie through his teeth and praise it!

He may as well feed his own dignity to Mimi!

The previously slightly unconfident Xuanxuan, upon receiving affirmation from Daddy, suddenly bead with joy, dimples deep.

"Mimi!"

She patted the little yellow cat’s head in her arms, happily exclaid, "You have your very own na now!"

Little yellow cat: ∑(￣□￣*|||)

This na???

I don’t want it~

It shook its head, letting out a sound of protest: "ow~"

Thinking the little yellow cat was responding to her, she happily said to Huang Tao, "Daddy, Mimi likes this na!"

Little yellow cat: (｀･д･′)

I’m not, I didn’t say that, don’t talk nonsense~

Xuanxuan happily hugged Mimi, repeatedly calling out to it: "Mimi, Mimi, Mimi..."

The little yellow cat at this mont gave up struggling.

Completely resigned itself to fate.

With a face full of despair, it lay in Xuanxuan’s arms.

Huang Tao took the little yellow cat back from her embrace, saying, "Alright, we’ve got a na, and it’s not early anymore. Now it’s ti to bathe and wash up."

"Okay."

Xuanxuan reluctantly nodded in agreent.

Then she ran into the bathroom to take a bath.

Worried she’d mishandle the hot water again, Huang Tao dropped the little yellow cat onto the floor.

Hurriedly, he went in to help.

The little yellow cat spun around halfway on the floor and then lazily lay down.

On the other side, after washing Xuanxuan up, Huang Tao also helped her bathe, changed her into clean pajamas, and carried her back to her room.

"Sleep now!"

"Daddy, I can’t sleep yet, may I read a book?"

"Then you read, Daddy will take a shower and co back to accompany you."

"Okay~"

He grabbed so clothes and went to the bathroom for a hot shower.

He changed and dried his hair, while tossing the dirty clothes into the washing machine.

And then placed the little yellow cat in the cat bed by the bedroom door.

After finishing all these, he returned to the room.

Plunging onto the bed, burying his head in the pillow, he let out a long sigh.

Xuanxuan put down her comic, peeked her head over and called, "Daddy."

"Hmm?"

Huang Tao lazily replied.

He was just about to say, "It’s late, let’s sleep," when he heard Xuanxuan’s concerned tone: "Daddy, aren’t you very tired?"

"Well, just a little bit!" he replied stuffily.

"Then let Xuanxuan give you a back massage..."

Xuanxuan turned around, kneeling on the bed in pajama pants with her small long legs, facing his back, and made little fists, rhythmically tapping on his back.

After a few taps, she kneaded his arms.

"Daddy, does this feel comfortable?"

Even though her strength was small, like a gentle scratch.

But Huang Tao could feel incredibly comfortable, and his heart was all warm and cozy: "It feels good, really good!"

He relaxed completely.

Sleepiness quietly crept in.

He drifted into a deep sleep.

Initially, Xuanxuan didn’t realize and kept earnestly tapping and kneading!

Until her hands got tired, she suddenly noticed her father was snoring.

The sound was faint, but you could hear it if you listened carefully.

Huh?

She scratched her little head, then carefully crawled to her dad’s front, seeing that he was indeed asleep without a blanket.

Afraid that Daddy would get cold.

She pulled the blanket from the foot of the bed with all her might and covered Huang Tao with it.

Daddy used to always cover her with a blanket; now, she could cover him too.

Hee hee~

She could also take care of Daddy~

Xuanxuan felt very happy in her heart, with a little bit of pride.

She crawled back to her spot, lay down beside Huang Tao, and pulled up her own little blanket.

"Goodnight, Daddy."

Xuanxuan glanced at him and then at the starry sky outside, softly said, "Goodnight, Mama."
