He was afraid his son’s legs would be sore, so after Ye Xicheng had dozed off, he used a hot towel to soothe his son’s legs. He would put on an impassive face when Ye Xicheng woke up later.
Wasn’t it tiring to be a dad like him?
After applying the heat compression to Ye Xicheng’s calves, Gu Juexi massaged the calves gently to loosen up the muscles. This little meatball was his son, how amazing it was.
Gu Juexi placed the blanket on his son and stroked his face softly. Although Ye Xicheng was in the wrong, his son’s capability to accept his own faults was beyond expectations.
He was proud of him.
Gu Juexi never thought there would be someone in this world that he could be proud of.
But this little person had done it.
It didn’t even require much to achieve this effect. Just a reaction from his son was sufficient to make Gu Juexi feel proud of him.
“Little meatball, you still have a long road ahead of you. You have the time to defeat Daddy,” Gu Juexi murmured and leaned down to kiss Ye Xicheng’s head before turning to leave the room with the wash basin.
The sleeping Ye Xicheng had no clue of any of this.
Gu Juexi emptied the basin and returned the hot water flask to its place before going into the kitchen to look for Ye Yuwei.
“Your son’s aim is to defeat me.” Gu Juexi looked at Ye Yuwei rinsing the vegetables.
“It’s good to have an aim in life,” Ye Yuwei replied impassively. “Why don’t you help me pluck the vegetable leaves? I have to prepare dinner for a few people.”
Gu Juexi’s eyes were wide in disbelief. “You want a young master to pluck vegetable leaves for you?”
“Then the young master will find himself without dinner.” Ye Yuwei smirked and gazed at Gu Juexi and put a bunch of vegetables in his hands. “Remove the leaves.”
Gu Juexi furrowed his brows and regretted coming into the kitchen.
Ye Yuwei turned back to the sink and continued washing the vegetables. “Can you not put on a long face and reason nicely with him? He will understand.”
If he could be so gentle towards his son when his son was asleep, he could do the same when his son was awake.
“I can’t do it,” Gu Juexi scoffed. “He doesn’t treat me as his daddy. I’m only an aim to him.”
Ye Yuwei was rendered speechless. The battle between the father and the son might never end.
“You –” Ye Yuwei turned around and was about to say something when she exclaimed, “Gu Juexi, I wanted you to remove the leaves, not keep them.”
Gu Juexi gave her an innocent smile and lowered his head to look at the stalks that were in the rubbish bin and the leaves that were on the counter.
Wasn’t the order keep the leaves?
Ye Yuwei covered her face with her hands.
Gu Juexi cleared his throat and got up. “I have a few documents to go through.”
Gu Juexi turned to leave as he spoke, seemingly to flee the scene.
Ye Yuwei looked at the mess on the counter and laughed. How did she get someone who almost burned down a kitchen to help her prepare dinner?
Gu Juexi returned to his room and rubbed his forehead. Just as an ancient saying goes: a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Turns out there was a reason behind that.
Gu Juexi had just realized that kitchens were the bane of his existence.
The children were still asleep during dinner, so Ye Yuwei kept aside some dishes for them. However, without the vegetable stalks, Ye Yuwei could only make soup with the leftover leaves.
Gu Juexi was feeling guilty so he avoided Ye Yuwei’s gaze and ate his meal quietly.
