20 Shameless (2/2)

”Don’t be angry, don’t be angry! Da Bao and Er Bao don’t know better. I would educate them properly.” Ye Jiayao picked the rabbits up and set them down on the floor. ”I told you not to go up the bed! Why did you disobey me? Do you want me to stew you?”

Xia Chunyu was in disbelief. Da Bao and Er Bao? I think you are a buffoon.

”Why are you trying to reason with them? They don't understand you! If I find them here again, I would throw them to Old Head Yu.”

”Did you hear Father Rabbit’s words? If you do this again, I won’t be able to protect you,” Ye Jiayao said, carrying the rabbits out.

Xia Chunyu was flabbergasted. When did he become Father Rabbit?

”Ye Jinxuan, if you want to become Mother Rabbit, don't drag me with you!” Xia Chunyu was almost roaring in frustration and annoyance. An address like Father Rabbit was intolerable to him, even more unacceptable than being called Dumb Donkey.

”Alright, alright. Da Xiao Bao, don’t be scared. Father Rabbit does not like you but I do. You just have to be good, do you hear?” Ye Jiayao cooed softly as she stroked the rabbits’ ears.

Xia Chunyu was almost certain that he was about to have a coronary. This woman always had to come up with some affair that could infuriate him to no end.

Ye Jiayao changed the bed sheets quickly. She glanced at Xia Chunyu, laying on the couch, reading a book, his face still clearly annoyed. ”Chunyu, can I send the honeysuckle tea Auntie Jiang gave us to big brother? When I went to deliver the pigeon soup to second brother just now, I saw big brother. He grew a huge heat sore above his mouth, honeysuckle can clear the heat and detoxify.”

Ye Jiayao was the best at changing topics.

Xia Chunyu snorted flippantly. ”How considerate.”

”Ay! What do you want me to do? Living under someone’s shelter, you have no choice but to lower your head.” Ye Jiayao curled her lips in indignation.

Xia Chunyu looked at her from the corner of his eyes. ”You know that too? Your head's just so full of knowledge, you're going to break the roof.”

Ye Jiayao laughed mischievously. ”You're exaggerating! You're just mad that the rabbit babies took a dump on the bed. Why are you mad at me? It's not like I am the one who did it!”

This woman really did lack the basic manners of a lady.

”What I mean is, I did not make them shit,” Ye Jiayao explained embarrassingly, realizing what she had just said.

”Besides, though they are big brother and second brother, we're not blood-related. If we fall out with them, that would be the end. It is different with you because as husband and wife, it is only common for couples to quarrel and squabble. It creates interest, you know.” Ye Jiayao said happily. She had already found a way to deal with Chunyu's anger. She would just ramble incoherently with a smile, and it would confuse him, displacing his anger.

”I shall go make dinner!” Ye Jiayao pouted and sent him a flying kiss, leaving with the honeysuckle tea on the table.

Xia Chunyu rolled his eyes at her back with detest. With skin thicker than the city wall, frivolous in manner, she really was not like any decent woman at all.

He lowered his head to continue reading, yet, all he could think of was the image of her pouting. The way her small mouth puckered cutely looked so irresistible, and he wanted to kiss it badly. Xia Chunyu closed the book in frustration. After living with that woman for too long, even his concept of right and wrong was a mess.

Ye Jiayao finished the dishes in record time. She set the winter melon spareribs soup aside, scooping out a bowlful to put in the lunch box.

”Peng Wu, Peng Wu!”

Peng Wu scurried in. ”What do you need, big sister?”

”Send this over to first-in-charge, I've already promised this to him.” Ye Jiayao handed the lunch box and honeysuckle tea to Peng Wu. ”Hurry, we’ll wait for you before we eat.”

Peng Wu accepted the delivery mission gladly.

Song Qi asked jealously, ”Sister-in-law, why do you always instruct Peng Wu to run errands for food delivery to first-in-charge and second-in-charge? Why don’t you let me go?”

Ye Jiayao thought about it. Was that weird? Why? Maybe she felt that Peng Wu was more reliable. It was also because she felt that he was more familiar with them.

”You think too much. Why don’t you think about how I always get you to be my helper and not Peng Wu? I don’t even know why! Tell me when you thought about it,” Ye Jiayao replied.

Song Qi was confused. How would I know what you are thinking inside?

After setting the table, Ye Jiayao walked to the door and called for her husband sweetly.

”Chunyu, time for dinner.”

Xia Chunyu immediately put his book down and headed for the kitchen. Those who don’t know would think that he was famished, eager to eat. In actual fact, if he waited for her to call him for the second time, that tongue would start to roll, and she would call louder.

Xia Chunyu was annoyed that he had actually been reduced to a state where he was at the beck and call of a woman. She should be the one obeying him, yet it was the total opposite now. Whatever warnings or threats he gave were useless to her. She would be responding well in his presence, and in the next moment, would revert to her old ways, acting cute, acting pitiful, and any other theatrics. He had never seen a woman more difficult to deal with.

She really was shameless.

What else could he do?
