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 .
