Chapter 182 - Useless Husband (2/2)

"I can take you there if you want," Ye Jie offered, looking at her acting like a kid.

She shook her head and said, "I can't go like this. Dad will instantly know that something's wrong with me." Ye Jie shook his head and hugged her closer to his chest. Oddly, it calmed her down and it took a few minutes before her sobs turned into steady breathing. Ye Jie was surprised and when he looked at her, she was really sleeping peacefully.

Xu Mey walked inside the living room and saw Azalea fast asleep in Ye Jie's arms. "She must be really tired?"

Ye Jie tilted his face towards Xu Mey saying, "Her body is still weak and she needs a lot of rest but who can make her stay on the bed? She doesn't listen at all."

Xu Mey smiled at the way Ye Jie's reprimanding words were said in a doting tone. "Take her to the bedroom," Xu Mey suggested and Ye Jie held her body and took Azalea to her bedroom.

Early in the next morning, Xu Mey came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and Ye Jie followed behind her. "What are you doing here, Ah-Jie?"

"I'm here to help my baby," he replied matter-of-factly.

"Do you know how to cook?" Xu Mey gave him a questioning look.

"I learned a bit of cooking during my summer camps." Ye Jie sheepishly scratched the back of his head.

"And how many years, it has been?"

"More than a decade." He replied with a cheesy grin.

"Thought so. Now, go back and let me work," Xu Mey pushed Ye Jie's shoulders a bit but he held her wrists in his hands.

"Baby, so what if my skills are a bit rusty. I still made that delicious spicy ramen for you on our wedding night." Xu Mey instantly blushed at the reminder of that night along with his words that made her choke back then. If she thought about it now, how easily he had asked, 'Did it hit the G-spot?'

Ye Jie obviously had no clue about the things running in her mind at the moment as he continued, "Also, I made such an awesome breakfast for you which was eaten by Ye Jun in the end but still, I'm the one who made it." He was still holding that grudge against Ye Jun.

"Do you want me to remind you about how you managed to make those ramens and that breakfast?" Ye Jie coughed at her reminder. Naturally, he had to take help from the maid but that didn't mean that he wasn't the one who made everything.

"Fine..." He grumbled in defeat. "But how about you teach me now. I'll help you as much as I can."

"But I can do it myself, Ah-Jie," she pointed out.

"But I don't want you to do it yourself. I know you can do everything on your own but don't make me feel like a useless husband." When he put his request this way, Xu Mey was left with nothing to say anymore.
