The sketchbook was thick, its cover slightly yellowed, indicating it had some age.
However, Xi Jiu had preserved it well; not a single edge of the book was curled.
Ruan Qi picked up the sketchbook and glanced at it, her little hand gently turning a page.
"Madam." Suddenly, a man's voice sounded from behind.
The young girl turned her head and saw Gong Qi slowly approaching, pushing a cart.
On the cart were ice cream, yogurt, little cakes, and a variety of gourmet foods.
"This is what the Family Head has prepared for you," Gong Qi said with a smile.
The little girl's eyes instantly lit up.
She placed the sketchbook, that she hadn't had the chance to look through yet, on the table, and in a few quick steps, she hopped over to the cart in her small slippers.
The ice cream was freshly made, with two large strawberries inserted atop the white cream.
The little girl eagerly took a spoonful and tasted it.
