Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Living Off You
"Uncle Xiaobao, aren’t you going to do the dishes?" she asked sweetly.
"No, I’m not." he replied, a bit annoyed.
This woman was becoming increasingly cheeky, not willing to settle down even for a moment.
Ziyi chuckled lightly, full of pride, though it was unclear what there was to be proud of in this situation.
Pei Yuanchen hugged her as they sat on the sofa, casually turning on the TV.
Ziyi remained nestled in his embrace: "Uncle Xiaobao, you’ll be living with me from now on, right?"
"Yeah." he responded lazily, "He Ziyi, now I’m going to live off you."
He didn’t own any property in Yanzhou City and usually stayed in hotels.
"What do you mean by ’live off’?" her cheeks reddened as she suddenly grabbed his hand, placing it on her chest, and whispered, "Is it here?"
Pei Yuanchen’s breath caught.
He gazed at her shy, bashful face, his Adam’s apple moving as he rasped, "Mm, are you going to let me?"
Her eyes flickered, and she nodded obediently.
Pei Yuanchen pinched her cheek, and said hoarsely, "He Ziyi, you’re seducing me again."
She lowered her head guiltily, "I’m not..."
Pei Yuanchen sneered slightly. He didn’t believe for a moment that she didn’t know what ’live off you’ meant.
He drew her closer into his arms, lowering his head to kiss her lips, until she was nearly breathless before he reluctantly released her.
"Don’t play with fire." his voice was heavily raspy, "Unless you want to be unable to get out of bed every day."
"I understand." she leaned against his chest, sticking out her tongue, "I promise to behave."
Pei Yuanchen ruffled her hair, unable to hold back a chuckle: "You really are gifted."
In the art of seduction, she was naturally adept.
If he hadn’t been fooled by her a few times already, he would have believed her innocent façade.
"I told you so!" she said triumphantly.
"What are you so smug about, who else are you planning to seduce?" he asked coldly.
"You." she whispered, "I just want to seduce you so you’ll never want to leave me."
Pei Yuanchen’s hand paused abruptly.
He suddenly understood that despite her nonchalant words, deep down, this woman was afraid he would one day leave without a word.
This realization softened his heart immensely.
He lifted her chin, kissed her lips, and hoarsely uttered the words: "Don’t worry."
"Mm..." Ziyi hugged him tightly, nestled in his chest, "Uncle Xiaobao, we did it several times yesterday... Will I have a baby?"
"No." he pinched her ear, "Why would you want a baby? They’re troublesome."
Until he could give her a secure future, he absolutely couldn’t let her get pregnant.
Ziyi sighed, a bit disappointed: "But I really like babies. I want to be a mom."
"You haven’t even grown up yet, and you want to be a mom?" he recalled her taking care of Xiaobao, smiling suddenly, "I think you’ll make a good leader of the kids."
Ziyi discontentedly kicked him with her feet: "I wouldn’t mind being the leader of the kids."
"I don’t want to be a dad." Pei Yuanchen expressed reluctance.
"I don’t believe you. You’re so good to Xiaobao." Ziyi looked up at him, "Uncle Xiaobao, you’d definitely be a good dad."
Pei Yuanchen let out a slow sigh.
Why was he even discussing this with her?
"This weekend, do you have homework to do?" he decisively changed the subject.
"I’ve finished all my homework." she said happily, "Uncle Xiaobao, let’s go on a date tomorrow."
