Since Lin Yebai didn’t come for the meal, Ye Ning took Ye Xiaobao home, and they didn’t prepare such a lavish dinner. After frying up two simple dishes, Ye Ning started to clean the house.
"Mommy, when you went to work today, was Uncle very happy?"
Xiaobao played with the model his uncle had bought for him last time, and as he saw his mom doing chores, he sat there, looking up and asking.
Ye Ning turned her head and glanced at him, "Why would you think he was very happy?"
Ye Xiaobao blinked his watery big eyes, "Because that day he asked where you went. Then I said you went to the new company, and he was really angry,"
"Yeah, like he wanted to eat mommy," Ye Xiaobao had a rich vocabulary, having even used that expression.
Ye Ning stiffened for a moment, then stopped looking at him, and went about her own work...
He really did want to "eat" her, otherwise, this morning, he wouldn’t have lured her to his home and presented her like a "gift" to his mother.
Ye Ning started to wash their clothes with her head down.
But Little Baozi in the living room, seeing that his mom didn’t respond, began to speak again, "Mommy, Uncle really isn’t bad, it’s just that he has a bad temper. You just need to bear with it a bit more."
Why is he still speaking up for him? What kind of love potion has he been fed?
Ye Ning felt a bit irritated, and turning around with a dark expression, she snapped at the little brat, "Xiaobao, why do you always take his side? Are you very close to him? Is it because he treated you to food, and bought you toys, that you’ve been completely bought over? You don’t even want Mommy anymore?"
Her speech was very fast, and her voice full of thin anger and impatience!
Seeing this, Ye Xiaobao didn’t dare to speak and just stared with a pair of slightly shocked eyes, dumbfounded at his mother.
What’s wrong with Mommy? Why did she suddenly get so angry? Did he say something wrong?
But these were things he had said before, and she had never been so fierce.
Ye Xiaobao felt a little wronged...
Ye Ning saw the expression on his face and felt a bit guilty, but she didn’t explain and just continued washing their clothes with an annoyed look on her face.
Was it wrong to dislike her son putting a good label on that man?
After washing the clothes, and seeing the child, who had been playing outside and had the sense to go to his room to sleep, Ye Ning went in and looked at the small lump already asleep on the child’s bed.
She knew that due to his growing environment, her son was more wary of strangers and had a harder time warming up to them than other children.
Yet, this man had only appeared three times before her son and had already successfully gained his trust, affection, and repeatedly spoken up for her.
This was hard for her to accept, and it made her feel uneasy, and even... jealous!
Xiaobao, do you know who he is?
And do you know? He is just a pawn in Mommy’s plan for revenge?
In the end, Ye Ning fell asleep messily on her son’s bed until she was woken up by him the next morning, "Mommy, Mommy, it’s time to get up, it’s already 7:30."
Ye Ning opened her eyes, her reflex was to get up immediately to take the child to kindergarten and to go to work.
But as she sat up, she remembered what day it was today, and all of a sudden, she lay back down, "Today, Mommy doesn’t have to work. We can go to kindergarten a bit later."
