He was going to give all his red packets to her?!
Xia Ning looked at her son in bewilderment. “What’s going on?”
Looking at Xia Ning, Enoch said with a frown. “Mummy, Daddy doesn’t give you money. I can give you!”
“Huh?” Xia Ning was even more baffled. Why did he say that Qiao Yu wouldn’t give her money? Because he had given her. Plus, how did her son come to the conclusion that she didn’t have money?
Raising the bank card, Enoch said to Xia Ning. “Mummy, I’m going to put this card away. I won’t dislike it.”
Xia Ning was speechless. She then saw the card in Enoch’s hand and saw what he meant.
He had thought that she didn’t have money because she put a bank card in the red packet. He had no idea that one could withdraw money with that card.
Xia Ning didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. She had forgotten that her son was only four and had no idea what a bank card was, even when he was from a rich family himself. The last thing in his mind was to worry about money.
“I don’t need money! You can still have your red packets!” said Xia Ning to Enoch.
Enoch looked at Xia Ning, obviously unconvinced.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yu’s voice came from the doorway.
Xia Ning turned around to find Qiao Yu in a black coat and leather gloves. He began to take his gloves off as he walked in.
“Daddy!” Enoch shouted at Qiao Yu. “Daddy, why didn’t you give Mummy money?”
Qiao Yu glanced at Enoch, then turned to look at Xia Ning. Seeing the embarrassed look on her face, he frowned. “What happened?”
“It’s just a misunderstanding!” said Xia Ning in embarrassment.
Looking at her, Qiao Yu looked even more unconvinced.
“Mummy doesn’t have money! She gave me a card in my red packet! Daddy, you didn’t give Mummy any money!” Enoch stared at Qiao Yu grumpily, then challenged his dad. “You don’t give her money, but I will! Mummy can have all my money!”
Seeing the bank card in Enoch’s hand, Qiao Yu frowned, then turned to Xia Ning.
Xia Ning pursed her lips, then explained. “I didn’t know you were supposed to give out red packets on the first day of the lunar calendar. I don’t have any cash on me and had to give him a bank card instead, but Enoch thought I didn’t have any money. That was why —”
“Enoch was right!” Qiao Yu cut Xia Ning off.
“Huh?” Xia Ning was dumbfounded. What was that supposed to mean?
“I didn’t give you enough money and that was why you didn’t have cash to give to our son. You were humiliated in front of him and that was my fault. I’ll have my secretary give you my secondary card in a few days.”
Xia Ning was speechless. That was nobody’s fault! The kid was being silly. Why did he have to play along?
“Great! Mummy, you have to give me a lot of money.” Enoch winked at Xia Ning, not concerned about wasting his father’s money at all.
Xia Ning didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. What a little money-grubber!
“What’s the password of this card?” Qiao Yu asked Xia Ning.
Xia Ning was taken aback, then smiled. “It’s Enoch’s birthday.”
Qiao Yu nodded, then turned to Enoch. “Since your mum has given you that card, just take it.” After a pause, he added. “Don’t spend your money on other people’s wives from now on. That pisses me off!”
