Don’t Scare My Wife

Ning Shixue held back and didn’t talk back to Xie Zhaozhou.

Xie Zhaozhou didn’t say anything more to him either.
Those narrow, dark eyes, indifferent and profound, moved away from his face.
He glanced at Xie Yaoyao and said to Song Li,
Carry him in.

Xie Yaoyao struggled for a moment, then pattered back to the car.
First, he hid the little yellow hat his mother had made for him inside the car, and only then did he reach out his hands to Song Li.

Xie Sui was dead.
Liao Yanwan resented everyone equally, and she also detested Xie Yaoyao’s mother.

If she saw that later, she would definitely get angry again.

Xie Yaoyao was lifted up, still wrapped in the coat.
He held onto Song Li’s neck, lying on Song Li’s shoulder, peeking at Ning Shixue.

His chubby little hand reached out towards Ning Shixue.

Xie Yaoyao had logged out.
Now he was Xie Xingxing, best friends with Ning Shixue in the whole world.
But he still didn’t forget to threaten Ning Shixue.
His mouth puckered into a little trumpet shape as he whispered very quietly,
You not come with me, you not good, Big Daddy will, spank you bottom.

Ning Shixue: “…”

Please, leave my bottom alone.

When they reached the old residence, almost all the Xie family members were there, aside from Xie Hanzhou.
Even collateral relatives were present.
Ning Shixue didn’t have the original host’s memories, so he didn’t recognize most of them.

But fortunately, no one wanted to talk to him either.
So he stood behind Xie Zhaozhou, wearing Xie Zhaozhou’s jacket.

Pretending he didn’t exist.

Yaoyao,
Liao Yanwan seemed much better now.
Her makeup was still immaculate.
She curved her lips in a smile and beckoned to Xie Yaoyao.
Grandma bought you toys.

Ning Shixue thought Xie Yaoyao would refuse, given how he’d acted in the car, grabbing his coat and not letting him out.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yaoyao climbed down from Song Li’s arms, obediently walked over, blinked his big eyes, and asked in his milky voice,
Grandma, what toys?

Ning Shixue: “…”

Unbelievable.
He was actually witnessing acting skills in a three-and-a-half-year-old human cub.

In a top-tier wealthy family like the Xie family, the waters ran deep.Without the protection of one’s own parents, things could be quite frightening.
Xie Yaoyao really was a bit more mature than other children his age.

Liao Yanwan took Xie Yaoyao’s little hand and passed by Ning Shixue, completely ignoring him.

After they had gone, Xie’s father darkened his face and lowered his voice, scolding Xie Zhaozhou by insinuation.
When I said to bring Yaoyao, you could have just sent him here for the night!
What makes you think anyone can just walk through the Xie family’s doors?!

He wanted Xie Zhaozhou to marry into the Ning family.
But all he wanted was a pure business marriage.
Once they were married, he saw no reason for Ning Shixue to ever appear before him again.

Why did Xie Zhaozhou have to drag him everywhere?

Wasn’t it embarrassing enough?!

And this Ning Shixue was a disappointment too.
Wasn’t he always causing trouble before?
Why was he acting like a scared little quail now?

Ning Shixue had already been about to leave.
Hearing Xie’s father’s words, he stopped.
He wrapped his arms around Xie Zhaozhou’s arm and peered back towards the entrance of the Xie residence.

Xie’s father frowned, annoyed.
What are you looking at?

Nothing, Uncle Xie,
Ning Shixue said, his eyes innocent.
I just thought there might be someone else back there.

Ning Shixue felt the man talked way too much.

Whether he should come or not, the original host had been countless times since childhood.
Now he wanted to pull this.

Xie’s father: “…”

Xie’s father’s face immediately darkened.
But he still cared about his image and maintaining his seniority.
He couldn’t very well come out and say, “I was just insulting you.”
He let out a heavy, cold snort, frowned deeply, and barked,
Hugging and clinging like that, what kind of example is that?!

Liao Yanwan couldn’t take scares.
His voice wasn’t loud, but Ning Shixue seemed to get a fright.

He instantly hugged Xie Zhaozhou’s arm even tighter.
His pale cheeks were bloodless, giving him a sickly, pitiful air.
Those peach blossom eyes also trembled with moisture.

It was late, no one was drinking tea, but Xie’s father still caught a distinct whiff of green tea fragrance.

Xie Zhaozhou: “…”

Surprisingly, Xie Zhaozhou played along.
He raised his arm, wrapped it around Ning Shixue’s waist, and pulled him closer.

Ning Shixue was caught off guard.
Xie Zhaozhou’s jacket was still draped over his shoulders.
If he lifted his head slightly, the tip of his nose would brush Xie Zhaozhou’s Adam’s apple.
He was firmly held in that embrace.

Ning Ning has a timid disposition,
Xie Zhaozhou’s voice was low and cold, but his tone was gentle.
Please don’t frighten him.

Xie’s father: ???

Who’s frightening whom?

You two are the ones frightening me to death, okay?

In his entire life, he had never seen Xie Zhaozhou protect anyone like this.
Let alone someone like Ning Shixue, that drama queen.

Xie’s father waved his hand in exasperation.
Fine, fine, go do whatever it is you need to do.

Only then did Xie Zhaozhou release Ning Shixue.

Ning Shixue also breathed a sigh of relief.
The half of his waist that Xie Zhaozhou had held felt distinctly uncomfortable.

He actually didn’t like being too close to people.

But he had indeed anticipated that Xie’s father might make things difficult for him.

Xie’s father had no talent for business.
He was barely qualified to be a manager in the overseas branch.
Old Master Xie had never counted on him, never seen him as the heir to the Xie Group.
Instead, it was Xie Zhaozhou’s elder brother who had always been Old Master Xie’s deputy.

Xie Sui was accomplished, and Xie’s father basked in that glory.
But Xie Zhaozhou also being above him made him very unhappy.

He had always resented that Xie Zhaozhou was raised by Old Master Xie and wasn’t close to him and Liao Yanwan.

No matter what Xie Zhaozhou did, it was wrong.
The same applied to him.
But unfortunately, Ning Shixue never took any losses.

He was even vengeful.

He didn’t even give in to Xie Yaoyao.
Would he give in to some old man?

Goodnight, President Xie.
Ning Shixue went upstairs and parted ways with Xie Zhaozhou in the corridor.

Xie Zhaozhou didn’t speak.
His eyes were pitch black, like an abyss that let in no light.
He watched Ning Shixue with a deep, probing gaze.
Ning Shixue met his eyes without flinching.

Finally, Xie Zhaozhou spoke first, his voice cold.
Goodnight.

After Ning Shixue left, Xie Zhaozhou’s gaze turned utterly dark.
He might need to find out exactly what Ning Shixue had been doing since their marriage.

He was… a completely different person.

–

Ning Shixue stayed overnight at the Xie residence.
The next day, the program team’s car came to pick them up.
He and Xie Yaoyao still had to continue filming the variety show.
Today, they were still at Yan City Amusement Park.

They set off very early.
Apart from Xie Zhaozhou, who had already gone to the company, everyone else was still asleep.

Ning Shixue took the little kid and quickly escaped.

The old Xie residence, like a vast and secluded monster, was left behind them.

Xie Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled.
His chubby little hands gripped the car seat as he constantly wiggled his bottom.
He stopped sulking with Ning Shixue.
Every now and then, he’d sneakily bump his soft, plump little leg against Ning Shixue.

When Ning Shixue bumped him back, he’d giggle.

[Sniff, finally get to see wifey and baby again.
That damned program team, why did they turn off the live stream last night?]

[You know, I’ve never had a wife since I was little.
I simply can’t bear this grievance. Crying.jpg]

[Last night was Elder He’s birthday banquet.
Half the film industry must have been there.
But I never imagined Ning Shixue could attend.
With his atrocious acting???]

The bullet comments immediately started arguing again.

But Ning Shixue knew nothing about it.
By the time he and Xie Yaoyao arrived at the hotel arranged by the program team, Tang He’an and the others had already arrived with their kids and were eating breakfast.

Only Qiu Mingchuan wasn’t there.
His agent had originally wanted him to salvage his image on the variety show.
But none of the little kids were close to him.
Xie Yaoyao had even said he had ‘no pulse.’
Filming any longer might cause some big incident.

So the agent worked it out with the parenting show director, getting him to leave the show a few days early.

I want go play slide,
Xie Yaoyao whined.

He Miao and the others were there too.
Ning Shixue didn’t interfere, letting them go with the cameraman.

It was just past seven in the morning.
The hotel’s children’s play area was very quiet, with only them there.

Yaoyao ,
He Miao was playing with sand using a little shovel.
She asked Xie Yaoyao curiously,
What are you doing?

Xie Yaoyao had said he wanted to play on the slide, but when they arrived, he didn’t even glance at it.
His fair, tender cheeks puffed out as he started pulling things out of his little dinosaur backpack.

First, he took out an adult’s coat.
Then he stuck out his little bottom, trying hard to spread the coat out on the baby play mat.

He also took out a few crayons.

Even Ji Xiao blinked his big eyes, unable to resist crawling closer to watch.

Xie Yaoyao shook his little head, his voice soft and milky, maximum sweetness.
He clutched a crayon and huffed as he started coloring on the coat.
Baby, become pretty!

Ning Shixue had bought him the Black Soil Wolf clothes.
He was already the prettiest baby in the whole world.

So he also wanted to make Ning Shixue pretty.

Hehe.
He’d already imagined how Ning Shixue would praise him.
Ning Shixue would definitely be so impressed.
Maybe he’d even kiss him.
After all, grown-ups liked kissing babies’ cheeks.

Even though he didn’t really want to be kissed by Ning Shixue.

But if Ning Shixue insisted on kissing him, he could reluctantly let him, just this once.

Ji Xiao’s soft little hands helped him hold down the edge of the coat.
He stared at the pattern Xie Yaoyao was drawing and praised him quietly,
I know this, is little monster.

Huh?
Tang Haohao heard ‘little monster’ and got excited.
I help you!

Only He Miao tilted her head.

She felt something was off.
Would Little Ning Gege really become pretty wearing this?

The bullet comments were gleefully anticipating disaster.

[A new storm has arrived, how can we stand still~ Ultraman hands on hips.jpg]

[Xie Yaoyao, danger!!!]
