Chapter 247: Extra Compensation
Chapter 247
Ye Jin reluctantly released Xu Yan, his hand still covering Tao Tao's eyes. "Yan Yan, don't be so shy."
He said this and immediately fled to the kitchen.
Xu Yan was too angry to speak. She hugged Tao Tao and pouted, feeling wronged: "Tao Tao, your dad is bullying me again."
The cool little wolf cub softly licked his mom's hand: "Awoo~"
Xu Yan whispered: "Tonight, we'll sneak back to the bedroom and not let your dad in to sleep!"
Tao Tao: "Awoo!"
Ye Jin didn't notice what these two childish creatures were secretly saying. He only knew that when he brought the dishes to the table, neither of them gave him a friendly look.
He sat down next to Xu Yan, trying to please her: "Yan Yan, what would you like to eat? Let me hold Tao Tao, you eat first."
Xu Yan snorted, shoving Tao Tao into Ye Jin's arms, then fiercely shouted: "Tao Tao! Bite your dad!"
The little wolf cub reacted quickly, immediately turning to bare his teeth at his dear father, even opening his mouth to bite Ye Jin's hand.
Ye Jin raised an eyebrow, pinching the little wolf's mouth to prevent him from biting: "Tao Tao, why are you listening to your mom so obediently?"
Xu Yan slapped his hand away: "Don't pinch my son!"
Tao Tao also looked pitifully at his mom: "Awoo~ Awoo~"
Xu Yan took Tao Tao back into her arms: "What's wrong, Tao Tao? Did your dad hurt you? Ye! Jin!"
Ye Jin looked utterly innocent: "Yan Yan, I didn't use any force at all! Tao Tao is faking it!"
Xu Yan looked puzzled: "How old is Tao Tao? Do you think he has as many schemes as you do?"
Ye Jin: "..."
Tao Tao guiltily hid in his mom's arms, not daring to make a sound.
Ye Jin sighed: "Yan Yan, have you noticed that since Tao Tao was born, you've been caring less and less about me."
Xu Yan was stunned: "I haven't!"
Ye Jin didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan rubbed her nose: "Well... it's because you always bully our son!"
Ye Jin looked both innocent and aggrieved: "I'm not bullying him. He's a wolf, how can we spoil him?"
Xu Yan looked at Ye Jin, then down at the little milk wolf in her arms. She hesitated: "Then... wait until Tao Tao is a bit older before you teach him. He's so small now."
Ye Jin nodded towards Tao Tao: "Ask him if he's willing."
Xu Yan held Tao Tao up: "Little one, do you want daddy to teach you some amazing things?"
The little wolf cub's round eyes met his mom's gaze. This time, he didn't act spoiled, but nodded very seriously: "Awoo!"
Auntie said becoming strong is the only way to protect mom!
Xu Yan didn't know what Tao Tao was thinking, but she still hugged him tightly: "How come our Tao Tao is so sensible? So young and already knows he needs to learn things."
Ye Jin sighed: "Yan Yan, you can't spoil Tao Tao like this."
Xu Yan also realized her problem. She pursed her lips: "But Tao Tao is my son! Can't I change in the future?"
Ye Jin took Tao Tao into his arms: "Alright, alright. Our Yan Yan can do whatever she wants. Now, shall we eat? Otherwise, we'll go hungry."
Xu Yan puffed out her cheeks: "Okay! Then put Tao Tao down. He can eat by himself now."
Ye Jin smiled and placed his son directly on the dining table, putting his big bowl in front of him.
Xu Yan picked up a piece of meat and held it to Ye Jin's mouth: "Ah!"
Ye Jin took a bite: "Yan Yan, how come you're not hiding from Tao Tao anymore?"
Xu Yan mumbled: "It's to make it up to you... I didn't mean to ignore you before."
Ye Jin hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Yan Yan, actually, I'd prefer if you made it up to me tonight."
Xu Yan's face turned red. She pushed Ye Jin away: "No way, Tao Tao will be there tonight."
Ye Jin calmly fed Xu Yan, looking at the little wolf cub eating obediently to the side: "Tao Tao, can you sleep by yourself tonight? Real men don't sleep with their parents."
The little wolf cub was about to protest, but hesitated when he heard the second half of his father's sentence: "Aw~ Awoo!"
Ye Jin smiled at Xu Yan: "Yan Yan?"
Xu Yan, blushing, hastily agreed: "Okay, okay! But you have to get up at night to check if Tao Tao is properly covered!"
Ye Jin immediately perked up: "Don't worry, I know all about that."
After dinner, Ye Jin took Tao Tao to the courtyard to digest their food.
Xu Yan sat in the corner watching this father-son pair roughhousing. She sat cupping her face for a while, when suddenly she heard Ye Jin calling her: "Yan Yan, could you go to the kitchen and bring Tao Tao's chocolate chips?"
Xu Yan nodded obediently: "Okay!"
Although she didn't do much housework, she often accompanied Ye Jin while cooking, so she was quite familiar with the kitchen.
Soon, she came to the courtyard carrying a small bucket: "Ye Jin! I'm here!"
Ye Jin stopped what he was doing and waved to Tao Tao. The father and son walked together to Xu Yan's side.
Xu Yan opened the lid of the small bucket: "Ye Jin, can Tao Tao eat chocolate in this form?"
Ye Jin crouched down: "Yes, it's fine if he eats a little."
Xu Yan licked her lips: "Oh!"
She carefully fed her son the chocolate chips, and the little wolf cub was exceptionally cooperative with his mom.
However...
Xu Yan looked at the chocolate chips in her hand. She sneaked a glance at Ye Jin, then popped a few into her own mouth.
Ye Jin was both helpless and amused: "Yan Yan!"
Xu Yan giggled and stuffed a few into his mouth too: "Try some! Tao Tao's chocolate chips are really delicious!"
Ye Jin rubbed her head: "I'll buy more tomorrow, and you can eat them with Tao Tao."
The little wolf cub seemed to understand something. He generously pushed the small bucket towards his mom: "Awoo!"
Pampered by this father-son duo, Xu Yan became even more unrestrained: "Well, then I won't hold back!"
In fact, compared to Xu Yan, Ye Jin was really quite a reliable father.
Ye Mingyu, who grew up healthy, felt the same way, although he was more partial to his mother, so he could accept whatever she did.
Except for showing affection with his dad!
As for Xu Yan, she felt she had no regrets in this life. Perhaps her only regret was the guilt she felt towards Ye Jin and her son.
After all, they could live for a very long time, but she could only live for a few short decades.
However, she hoped that in her next life, she could become a spirit. That way, she wouldn't have to be separated from Ye Jin and their son for so long...
She would definitely try her best to be reborn! Although in this life, being the daughter of her parents and the sister of her brother was also a very happy thing.
