Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

111-115

Chapter 111 - What did you call me?

Downstairs, Tan Rou had already started eating her breakfast.

When Tan Rou came down by herself, the other three thought that she had failed. Mrs. Tao comforted her, “Did he lose his temper again? Don’t pay attention to him, hurry up and eat. I’ll deal with him!”

Tan Rou shook her head obediently and sat down. She calmly took a mouthful of porridge and said, “Don’t worry, he’ll be down here soon.”

Mother Tao and Tao Zheng looked at each other in surprise. They couldn’t believe that Tao Qi would really be so obedient. Usually, if they were to wake him up, they would have to coax him and even threaten him a few times before they could get this lazy bum who always had a bad habit of not being able to wake up in the morning.

But not long after, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs. Tao Qi rolled his eyes at Tan Rou unwillingly, but still sat down obediently.

Tan Rou ate her porridge with peace of mind and took a few mouthfuls of vegetables. She didn’t even look at Tao Qi. Tao Qi became bored and also lowered his head to eat.

However, this gave Tao Zheng and their parents a shock. Tao Qi had actually come down to join them after being called by Xiao Rou and the two didn’t argue. Although Tao Qi still had a morning temper, he didn’t grumble like he did in the past. Instead, he obediently ate his food.

Mother Tao’s eyes kept shifting between Tan Rou and Tao Qi. She felt that the atmosphere between the two children seemed to have changed. It may seem strange but Tao Qi seemed to be suppressed?

Mr. Tao seemed to have understood something. He thought of what Tan Rou had said last night. She knew what she was doing and she had asked him to just treat it casually. He didn’t expect that after just one night, there would be such obvious results. She was indeed his precious little girl!

Mr. Tao cleared his throat, signalling for Mrs. Tao not to make a fuss. He tried to smooth things over. “It’s good that everyone’s here. Let’s eat!”

Mrs. Tao nodded, sat down, and handed Tan Rou the black pepper sausage that she had specially prepared. “Xiao Rou, you have to eat more of this. Otherwise, you’ll get hungry quickly when you’re tired from studying in school.”

Tan Rou smiled sweetly and didn’t reject Mother Tao’s kind offer. She picked up a roasted sausage with a fork and began to eat it deliciously. “I usually eat a lot in the morning and would never be hungry even until noon. It’s all thanks to the delicious breakfast mom makes!”

Mrs. Tao was happy to hear that. She looked at Tan Rou with loving eyes. She was more satisfied to see her daughter eat more than if having it on her own.

Tao Qi raised his brow. He smelled the aroma of the sausage and couldn’t help but look over.

Tan Rou noticed Tao Qi’s focused gaze, as if he wanted to take the sausage from her mouth. Her eyes rolled and she deliberately said, “Actually, one would be enough for me. It’s not good to waste so many of them.”

Tao Qi snorted coldly. “You wanted to have them all to yourself? We should share it so that everyone can eat it together!”

However, Tan Rou continued eating by herself as if she hadn’t heard him.

Tao Qi was angry. He glared at the sausage in front of Tan Rou and shouted, “Hey! Give me one!”

Mrs. Tao chided him, “Little Qi! I’ve prepared one for you as well. Can’t you see your favourite small steak that’s right in front of you?”
