Chapter 395 - Cruelest Wife (1/2)

Jie had to take a shower in the guest room but he couldn't do anything about it. Even standing under the showerhead, his mind was wandering off to his wife. "Argh! She's a hot mess. Emphasis on the hot part since she loves to make a mess out of me!" He ran his fingers through his hair exasperatedly.

Coming out of the room with a towel around his neck, Jie checked the door of his bedroom again. But finding it still locked, he sighed out, "I have the cruelest wife in the world."

"And you still love her..."

Jie was startled as he heard that voice and turned around with a hand over his chest. Looking at that little boy that reached his waist, he said, "For goodness sake, Bao! You scared the living daylight out of me."

The little boy, Zhu Bao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and turned around to walk towards the kitchen. Jie followed behind him and seeing his usual straight face, he asked, "Son, why are you awake at midnight?"

Zhu Bao poured himself a glass of orange juice and turned to face his father. "You can remember that my mother hates sesame powder even at the most unexpected of moments but you can't even remember that your son has a habit of waking up in the middle of the night?"

That was a blatant taunt at Jie's ego which made him purse his lips. Aiyo! It was difficult to argue with his own son. Using his arms, Zhu Bao sat down at the breakfast counter and looked at his father curiously. "Did mom kick you out again?"

Jie who was gonna drink some water, paused in his action and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just came out for some fresh air."

"I feel bad saying this but... I pity you, dad." Jie was left speechless at his son's words but Zhu Bao was his own son, how could he be done so easily? "Be strong, dad. As they say, men should be like coffee, hot sweet and strong!"

Jie's mouth opened wide as he stared at his son who was languidly drinking the juice. "Where did you learn that?"

Zhu Bao wiped his face with the back of his hand and said, "It's a famous Dutch proverb, haven't you heard it?"

"No, I have not! And you should not too!" replied Jie with a complicated look before saying, "Your mom loves you a lot, why don't you ask her to open the door for me?"

Zhu Bao jumped down and stood close to Jie. He beckoned Jie to lower down and Jie had to hunch over to match his height. He wrapped his arms around his father's neck and said, "I can only provide you with moral support. Because a man should never involve a third person in an argument, in business, and in a marriage. It has brutal consequences."

Jie's face twitched as he heard him say all that. He held him in his arms and stood up straight. "Where do you even come up with all this?"

"Oh, this one I learned from Ruru," he answered matter-of-factly as if Jie was supposed to know about this.

"Your godmother is up to no good as expected of her. Why is she teaching so much nonsense to my son?"

Zhu Bao narrowed his eyes at his father and warned, "My Ruru is never wrong. So, dad, mind your words."
