Little Bean looked at him smugly. “Hear that, daddy? Bully me, and mommy’s going to leave you.”
Ye Moxuan sneered. Oh, threatening me, huh, brat? The first time they met, the boy slapped him, perplexing the man. After that, he would always set Ye Moxuan up, and that made Ye Moxuan realize that this boy was no ordinary kid, so he no longer saw him as a child. “The man sneered. “Really? Your mommy’s my woman, and I’m your daddy, so if you’re going to be naughty, I’m going to spank your booty.”
“Ye Moxuan!” Han Muzi shouted at him. Ye Moxuan snapped out of it and glanced at her. He saw the woman looking at him angrily. “What did you tell the kids? What do you mean spank his booty? Nonsense! Why are you trying to teach them such nonsense?” Little Bean looked at his father smugly when his mother scolded him. “Also, what do you mean you’re going to spank his booty if he’s naughty? Does my opinion not matter?”
D*mn it. Ye Moxuan couldn’t be as hard as he did on his son, so the man replied softly, “Of course not. You call the shots in the house, dear. All I have to do is care for Little Sprout.” The old Ye Moxuan wouldn’t do or say something like this. The man probably didn’t think the day would come where he would listen to his wife and become a househusband as well as the children’s nanny.
Everyone in the business world took this as a fun fact when they heard the news, and it became a conversation starter of sorts. However, Ye Moxuan didn’t mind what everyone spoke of him now that he had his own family. Besides, he didn’t go to the company now, aside from the times where there were important meetings. All the shareholders in the company talked fondly of Han Muzi, praising her for keeping her husband in check. Before she appeared, Ye Moxuan would always have that stern look in the company. Every meeting was intense, and everyone did everything carefully, for they were worried that if they made one small mistake, they would incur the wrath of this powerful man.
Little Bean covered his mouth and chuckled when he saw his father looking this way. Having a wife is scary, since you have to listen to her in everything. I don’t want to get a wife when I grow up. I want to live by myself, the boy thought.
Jiang Xiaobai went to Xiao Su’s place early in the morning. She went there right before Xiao Su went for work, so the man gave her the keys when he saw her, his expression inscrutable. Jiang Xiaobai jangled the keys in front of him and smiled faintly. “Say, we don’t really meet that much, no? And trust isn’t something we share. Are you just going to give me the keys like this? Aren’t you worried I might take everything away?”
Xiao Su glanced at her. “Try it if you can.”
Jiang Xiaobai tsk-tsked. “I am not that kind of person, and I am famous, okay? Well, not that much, but I won’t want to ruin my reputation anyway. If I stole something from you, you can just search me up online. Also, you know where my home is, so even though I can run away, you can absolutely mess up my place, so don’t worry.”
“I need to go to work, so just do your own stuff.”
After Xiao Su had left, Jiang Xiaobai entered his house. She took a stroll around his place and understood what he meant before he left. Emptying your house? You have nothing here! Not even a thief wants to break in, okay?! She angrily called Xiao Su, but it took a while before he picked it up. “What the hell is this?” Jiang Xiaobai asked him angrily the moment he took the call.
Xiao Su was driving at the moment, so he frowned. “What is it?”
“What the hell is this? I came here to cook for you, and this is how you treat me?”
Xiao Su didn’t know what she was saying, so he frowned even deeper. “Spit it out.”
“Don’t play dumb, Xiao Su! You only have a rice cooker at home, and nothing else. Oh wait, there’s a fridge, but it’s EMPTY! You want me to cook without ingredients? This is impossible!”
Oh. Xiao Su paused. “This is how I usually am. Just make some simple dishes.”
“Simple dish?” Jiang Xiaobai looked at the empty kitchen, at a loss of what she should say. The woman then thought of something and asked incredulously, “You can’t be cooking for yourself like this all this while.” Xiao Su was thinking of something, so he grunted. Jiang Xiaobai didn’t know what she should say after he had admitted to it, so she kept quiet for a while.
After a while, he explained, “I spend a lot of time working, so I don’t really have the chance to eat at home.” Before Young Master Ye started becoming a full-time househusband, he was already busy going around with him. It was normal for Ye Moxuan to drag him up at midnight to work. Besides, he was a man, so being full was his priority, not the taste. Sometimes, he would just settle his meal outside. If he had time, he would make a simple dish at home.
Jiang Xiaobai thought he was playing her, but after listening to him, she realized that this man probably didn’t pay much importance to his meals. After guessing how he usually lived, she said with frustration, “Alright, I understand. I’ll do what I can. Talk to you later.” After hanging up, Jiang Xiaobai put her hands on her hips and looked into the kitchen. She had only one word to describe a kitchen like this—shabby! He’s not poor, so why does he only have a rice cooker and a fridge? Does he put all the ingredients in the cooker and cook them together?
Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Xiaobai guessed it correctly. All she thought was that she couldn’t take it if her kitchen looked like a dungeon. The woman felt like killing herself when she thought that she had to come here to cook for a while. Because of that, she went out a couple of minutes later, taking the keys with her. Fang Tangtang then called her to invite her out. She said the shops down the street were holding an event where everything had a discount, and they were giving away free gifts.
Jiang Xiaobai had just purchased a toaster, a microwave, an oven, and a steamer. She was looking at the pathetic state of her e-wallet, heartbroken. How could she ask me to keep on spending? So, the woman refused without hesitating. “No!”
Fang Tangtang was surprised. “What’s wrong with you? You would usually skip around like a child at this point, so you should be saying yes now. What happened?”
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the money she had spent and said with a steely resolve, “No, I’m going broke, so I have to watch where I spend my money. I can’t spend more now.”
