Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Assigning Tasks to the Husband
Zhao Gushen regretfully put down his hand, his index finger gently rubbing the pad of his thumb a few times.
Then Ye Xiaomo said, "Xiao Fei, any heavy work around the house, let uncle handle it!"
Ye Xiaomo looked up at Zhao Gushen, "Big man, you know!"
If he wants to pursue his Xiao Fei, shouldn’t he contribute more around the house?
Don’t think I didn’t see just now, Zhao Gushen took the chance to hold my Xiao Fei’s hand again!
Zhao Gushen gave Ye Xiaomo a cool glance.
Good son!
It’s indeed time for Ye Fei to realize that the house is lacking a man.
"Any heavy work, hard work, anything you need me to do, just tell me, don’t stand on ceremony." Zhao Gushen said, "Is there anything that needs fixing around the house? Do the light bulbs need changing?"
"No, no, everything’s fine at home." Ye Fei quickly said, "Then how about... how about you hand-pound some meat stuffing?"
"Hmm?" Zhao Gushen questioned.
"I have some ideas about the skin mix for the xiao long bao, I need to test a good ratio." Ye Fei said, "I’ll be here testing ratios, while you help me pound the stuffing. Actually, using a food processor to grind the meat is fine too, but hand-pounded tastes better."
"No problem." Zhao Gushen rolled up his sleeves and agreed.
Ye Fei then said to Ye Xiaomo, "Then you help Dad..."
Ye Fei almost said the wrong thing, quickly correcting herself, "Help uncle film a video, so we can edit it into the film later."
"Okay!" Ye Xiaomo readily agreed.
Ye Fei prepared everything for Zhao Gushen and explained the hand-pounding technique to him.
Zhao Gushen glanced at Ye Xiaomo who was fiddling with the DSLR, then suddenly turned around, using his body to block Ye Xiaomo’s sight, as if enveloping Ye Fei in his embrace.
Ye Fei was thus trapped inside the bar, her whole body warming up, seemingly imbued with his warmth.
"Did you almost slip just now and say ’help Dad’ to Xiao Mo?" Zhao Gushen asked, deliberately lowering his voice as if worrying Ye Xiaomo would hear.
And, afraid she couldn’t hear clearly, he lowered his head and leaned towards her ear.
Ye Fei felt his deep magnetic voice seemingly sliding into her ear, able to feel his hot breath as he spoke.
Once she lifted her gaze, she would find Zhao Gushen’s Adam’s apple close enough to touch her forehead.
As he spoke, his Adam’s apple gently trembled.
Ye Fei was so nervous, she dared not move, fearing any slight motion would touch his face.
She dared not even think about how close Zhao Gushen was to her ear right now.
"It’s just... knowing you’re his father, yet calling you uncle, makes me feel a bit uneasy." Ye Fei softly said.
"Thinking that one day you’ll tell Xiao Mo to help Dad, this feeling is wonderful." Zhao Gushen chuckled softly, "Feels warm and homely."
Ye Fei’s face turned crimson red.
Indeed, she would have to reveal the truth to Xiao Mo sooner or later.
But now that Zhao Gushen said it, how come the meaning changed?
It’s as if... the three of them were living a homely life, like a family of three.
Ye Fei’s ears tingled, numbly, forcing herself, "You better go pound the meat."
"Okay." Zhao Gushen happily agreed and finally straightened up.
This slightly relieved Ye Fei’s pressure.
But then, she heard Zhao Gushen softly say, "The way you’re saying it is like you’re instructing your husband to do the housework."
Ye Fei: "..."
Who’s instructing their husband!
