Auntie Wu bent down and retracted her hand that was about to carry her things. She walked towards the washroom.

Chi Yaoxi stared at Wu Shu, this woman who bared her fangs and brandished her claws, commanding blindly, and couldn’t help but frown.?Is she crazy?! She must be crazy?! Why is she shouting at a hardworking auntie? Isn’t she looking for trouble?

Although she was his wife in name, when she saw Wu Shu behaving atrociously here, Chi Yaoxi felt that she should step out and intervene.

Chi Yaoxi was just about to take a few steps forward and reason with Wu Shu when the little guy woke up. He tugged on the corner of Chi Yaoxi’s shirt and whispered for his mommy to ignore that bad woman.

Chi Yaoxi suppressed the anger in her heart and followed the little fellow upstairs.

“Chenchen, let’s go to the study room to read. It’s quiet there.”

The two of them sat in front of the desk. The little guy was flipping through a book called “Foreign Famous Stories”. At such a young age, he was smart enough to recognize many words and could basically read by himself.

Chi Yaoxi also picked up a fashion magazine and flipped through a few pages randomly. She did not read anything. Thinking that the woman was still downstairs, Chi Yaoxi was a little worried.

Earlier on, the little fellow did not allow her to interfere. Chi Yaoxi could not help but ask softly, “Chenchen, you saw that auntie scolding people. She did something wrong. Why didn’t you let Mommy reason with her?”

The little fellow put the book away and approached Chi Yaoxi. He hugged her arm and pouted. He said in all seriousness, “I’m doing this to protect Mommy. That bad auntie is very cunning. If Mommy goes to talk about her, she will target Mommy. Daddy is not at home, so he can’t protect us immediately. This trick is called ‘using stillness to counter motion, using unchanging to deal with all changes’.”

When Chi Yaoxi heard the little guy’s argument, she smiled and pinched his little nose. She said happily, “Little baby, you’re so smart. Who did you learn it from? You’re so good at it.”

Upon hearing his mother’s praise, the little fella’s big watery eyes rolled around as he said happily, “I’ve read the ‘Art of War’ before. Daddy bought that book for me.”

“That’s great! Mommy will reward you by making your favorite snack this afternoon, okay?”

The little fella pulled his mommy’s hand and jumped up happily. He felt that it was such a blissful weekend with his mommy by his side.

Wu Shu did not enjoy her lunch even though it was scrumptious.

When she first arrived in the morning, she was arrogant and domineering. When she saw that Li Qianming was not at home, she wanted to show her imposing aura and let the servants in the villa, especially Chi Yaoxi, know that she, Wu Shu, was not so easy to bully.

However, she later realized that things did not develop as she had expected. Throughout the morning, she had been giving instructions to the servants downstairs, but Chi Yaoxi had stayed upstairs and did not come down. She had ignored her strong attitude.

Wu Shu’s original plan was to strike out with heavy punches, but she didn’t expect that her punches would be like hitting cotton, completely useless. It was really boring.

After lunch, the little guy went upstairs for lunch. Wu Shu saw Chi Yaoxi busy in the kitchen and followed her. “Why? Does Missy still want to do it herself? I can help.”

Chi Yaoxi said without looking back, “No need.”

Wu Shu saw flour, cream, white sugar, peanuts, almonds, and other nuts on the counter. It seemed like she wanted to make her own desserts. This Chi Yaoxi was quite diligent. She must have made them for that child.

Wu Shu suddenly remembered what Auntie had told her before. She said that it wasn’t easy for her son, Li Qianming, to take care of the little fellow. The little fellow didn’t have a good physique when he was young and was allergic to some food. There was once when he ate the cashew and fell ill.

Cashew??Wu Shu turned her eyes and carefully recalled.?If she remembered correctly, it was this!

This was a rare opportunity for Wu Shu to come up with a plan. A cunning smile appeared on her face. Since there was no one in the living room, she rummaged around on the coffee table but did not find any cashews.

Then she had to make the best use of her time to go out. Wu Shu didn’t have time to think about it and quickly left the villa, leaving the main door ajar.

Not far away, there was a newly opened shop. Wu Shu bought a small box of cashew nuts and quickly returned. Seeing that Chi Yaoxi was still busy in the kitchen and didn’t notice that she had gone out, Wu Shu let out a sigh of relief. She took out a few cashew nuts and placed them in her pocket, waiting for an opportunity.

She saw Chi Yaoxi working patiently in the kitchen. It seemed that she did not want to leave the area.

This wouldn’t do. More than ten minutes had already passed. If it was any later, she wouldn’t be able to make it in time. Wu Shu was a little anxious. She frowned as she paced around the living room.

She had to think of a way to make Chi Yaoxi leave the kitchen. It would be best if it took more than a few minutes.

Wu Shu raised her head and suddenly realized that Chi Yaoxi’s clothes were sunbathing on the balcony. A flowery long dress was swaying in the wind. She could not help but plan.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one outside, Wu Shu quickly walked to the balcony. She pulled on the hem of the dress and it fell to the ground. There were still traces of water on the balcony that had just been mopped. Her dress was stuck to the ground. Even if she picked it up, she would still have to wash it.

Wu Shu quickly returned to the living room and shouted towards the kitchen, “Something was blown off the balcony! Quick, look at whose clothes it is!”

Chi Yaoxi put down the work on her hands and went out to the balcony to take a look. Sure enough, one of her dresses had fallen to the ground and was dirty. She might as well put it back in the washing machine and wash it again.

Taking advantage of the time when Chi Yaoxi picked up the clothes and took them to the bathroom, Wu Shu walked a few steps to the kitchen. She quickly crushed the cashew nuts and mixed them together with the peanuts and almonds. It looked the same as before and there was no problem at all.

When Chi Yaoxi came out of the bathroom, Wu Shu was already sitting quietly on the sofa, flipping through a magazine.

It was really meticulous handiwork. Chi Yaoxi worked hard for half a day and only finished preparing the delicious snacks an hour later. She could smell the fragrance from afar.

Chenchen woke up from his afternoon nap. When he smelled the fragrance, he went straight to the kitchen and saw his mommy placing the snacks one by one onto an exquisite ceramic plate. He took a deep breath of the fragrance and raised his head. He hugged Chi Yaoxi’s leg and said smilingly, “I can smell the fragrance even in my dreams. It must be very delicious. Thank you, Mommy!”

“You’re welcome, baby. Mommy has had some free time recently. I’ll make you some pastries with all kinds of flavors, okay?”

“Great! There’s so much delicious food! Long live mommy!”

Wu Shu was in the living room. Her lips were curled and her eyes were slanted as she stared at the mother and son happily interacting in the kitchen. The envy, jealousy, and hatred in her heart grew deeper and deeper.

Chi Yaoxi brought the delicious snacks to the dining table. “Alright, let’s get ready to eat.” Chi Yaoxi and the little fellow sat at the dining table. They each took a small fork and prepared to eat snacks.

The little guy picked up a piece and brought it to Chi Yaoxi’s mouth. “Mommy, you’ve worked hard! Chenchen will feed you the first sweet snack.”

Hearing this, Chi Yaoxi could not help but smile. The frustration she felt for the past few days seemed to have dissipated a lot because of the little fellow’s obedient and sensible words.
