After Ye Xun opened the door for her, Xu Xiyan went in and discovered that his apartment was noisy and messy. The music was so loud that the house was almost shaking. She also spotted a table full of snacks.
Huo Sanyan and Ying Bao were facing the TV screen, dancing along to the performance of a K-pop girl band.
All members of the girl band wore sexy bunny suits, striking seductive poses from time to time as they showed off their long slender legs. They looked outrageous.
Xu Xiyan looked at Ye Xun incredulously. “You guys were letting her watch that?”
What was she going to do if her daughter was corrupted?
Ye Xun quickly picked up the remote and turned off the TV. Huo Sanyan protested, “Hey, why did you turn it off? We were having so much fun dancing here!”
Ying Bao cried out in frustration as well, “Uncle Tree-Leaf! Turn it back on! Turn it back!”
“Okay, that’s enough, Daughter. Now, look who’s here?”
Ye Xun winked at Ying Bao. Ying Bao turned and saw that her mother had come. She was very happy. “Xi Baby, you’ve come just in time! Come dance with Baby!”
Huo Sanyan turned around and realized that Xu Xiyan was standing next to Ye Xun. She scratched her head embarrassingly. “Jing Xi, when did you get here?”
“Just now.”
Xu Xiyan was very grateful that they had willingly taken care of her child and it wouldn’t be right to complain. She said to Ying Bao, beckoning her, “Baby, don’t dance anymore. Someone is going to snatch your daddy away. Let’s not dance, okay?”
Ying Bao was puzzled. “Who is going to snatch Daddy away?”
Xu Xiyan licked her lips, then said, “Well, she’s a pretty auntie.”
The little girl looked as though she had seen her arch-nemesis. Panicked, she said, “Xi Baby, what are you doing? Why didn’t you protect daddy?”
In her mind, her daddy was just like the fictional character from “Journey to the West,” Tang Sanzang. He was a monk with fair and tender skin and every demon wanted to eat his flesh. She thought that her daddy was especially sought-after by everyone just like how every demon sought after Tang Sanzang’s flesh.
Within a second, the little girl’s joyful mood transformed into anxiety. She took Xu Xiyan’s hand and said, “Come on, let’s go find Daddy before anyone snatches him away.”
Xu Xiyan turned and waved at Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan. “You guys go ahead with your business, I’m leaving with the child now. Thanks for taking care of the child for me.”
Huo Sanyan thought Xu Xiyan was joking when she mentioned “pretty auntie” to Ying Bao just now. She laughed, “Jing Xi, make more food for dinner tonight. We are coming over to scrounge a free meal off you.”
“Okay, I will,” Xu Xiyan promised. She and Huo Yunshen had bought enough groceries in the first place and she had planned to call them over for dinner anyways.
After Xu Xiyan and Ying Bao left, Ye Xun reprimanded Huo Sanyan scornfully, “How could you be so shameless and laid back? Don’t you feel shameful for freeloading off someone’s cooking every day?”
Huo Sanyan put on a look of exaggerated surprise and dumbfoundedness. “What is there to be shameful about? Aren’t you expecting someone to cook for you too?”
“It doesn’t matter if I don’t cook. But the main point here is you. Aren’t you ashamed as a woman? You should at least learn to cook. If we are to be together in the future, we can’t be scrounging free meals off other people.”
Ye Xun couldn’t help but think about their future. He was sick with worry for having a woman like Huo Sanyan by his side.
Huo Sanyan’s brain was not usually sharp, but at this moment, she managed to extract important information out of his words.
She had heard Ye Xun actually say “if we are to be together in the future.” Does this mean that he had accepted her?
Huo Sanyan was so happy. She grabbed his waist and said excitedly, “Husband, do you mean that you’re willing to be with me? You’re willing to let me be your girlfriend?”
Ye Xun lowered his head, eyed the woman at his waist and sighed. He felt like surrendering to his fate.
Perhaps Huo Sanyan really had been sent by God as his punishment. He could not get rid of this woman no matter what he did, so he could only accept her reluctantly.
