Fu Yunzhou stared at the milk in his hand, feeling a twinge of annoyance as his brows knitted further. He disliked the taste of milk, and it was initially intended for Yuan Xi. However, he did not expect him to pour another glass of milk himself after he came down.

Looking at the milk in his hand, Fu Yunzhou had a feeling of lifting a stone and smashing his own foot.

Yuan Xi, seeing Fu Yunzhou’s evident displeasure, launched into a serious discussion about the detrimental effects of his stomach condition.

With Yuan Xi’s small mouth incessantly chatter ringing in his ears, Fu Yunzhou, already plagued by a headache, found himself massaging his temples, questioning why he had chosen to come down early and dine with this guy.

Finally succumbing to Yuan Xi’s concerned and earnest gaze, Fu Yunzhou pinched his nose and reluctantly drank the milk.

Yuan Xi continued to eat the food in front of him with a smile after seeing Fu Yunzhou finish the milk in the cup.

Both Yuan Xi and Fu Yunzhou prefer Chinese breakfast, mainly comprising xiaolongbao and milk.

With a small appetite, Fu Yunzhou was already full after eating only four or five xiaolongbao. Wiping his mouth, he swiftly retrieved his coat and prepared to depart, leaving Yuan Xi without a chance to react.

When Yuan Xi finished eating the Xiaolongbao in his mouth, Fu Yunzhou was already nowhere to be seen.

Coming out of the kitchen, Aunt Zhang noticed the empty milk cup and the untouched coffee, a contented smile was plastered on her features, accentuating the wrinkles on her face.

“Xiaoxi, what do you want to eat tomorrow? Aunt Zhang can make it for you. Is there anything you want to eat tonight? Aunt Zhang can make more for you.”

Aunt Zhang’s gaze at Yuan Xi now feels like she’s looking at a treasure.

Fu Yunzhou was the eldest young master of the Fu family. He has suffered from poor health since childhood, yet possesses a resilient personality, making it difficult for others to make him obey in many respects.

Drinking coffee in the morning was one of them.

Despite his poor health since childhood, Fu YUnzhou exhibits exceptional talent in business. Because of this talent, the majority of the Fu family’s enterprises were now under his management.

To maintain clarity of mind consistently, Fu Yunzhou has developed a habit of drinking a cup of coffee to refresh and ensure a clear mind.

Due to his hectic schedule, Fu Yunzhou now experiences stomach issues at a young age. However, no one dares to broach the subject with him.

Eating well and paying attention to his health were what his parents reminded him always but no matter how many times the master and the madam emphasized this to him, Fu Yunzhoung merely nodded in agreement superficially. Once the conversation concluded, he promptly shifted his focus back to the company, investing all his energy into it.

Aunt Zhang has watched Fu Yunzhou’s growth and understands the immense pressure he faces. Furthermore, due to his poor health since childhood, Fu Yunzhou missed out on the typical joys of childhood. Consequently, everyone in the Fu family indulged him to compensate for this.

Hence, Aunt Zhang was both surprised and moved witnessing Yuan Xi’s efforts to persuade Fu Yunzhou to prioritize his health over coffee.

As Yuan Xi savored the last xiaolongbao on his plate, he took a sip of milk and requested Aunt Zhang.

“Aunt Zhang, can you cook some stomach nourishing Congee at night? Yunzhou comes back very late every night. His stomach is not good. It will be more comfortable to drink some stomach-nourishing Congee after he comes back at night.”

Aunt Zhang nodded and looked at Yuan Xi with a gentler and more loving expression.
