1353 Wife's slave, mommy's boy, siscon...

"Yes, I've obediently waited for mommy to come home!" He flashed her a brilliant smile.

She put him down and walked over to Mu Yazhe to hug his shoulders from behind.

"When did you come home?"

The man naturally held her hands as he replied, "4 PM."

As soon as the man spoke, she could tell from his cold tone that he was not in his best mood.

"You seem to be… in a bad mood?"

Fatigue and sullenness flashed across his narrowed eyes before they quickly regained their calmness. He gave her a wry smile. "I'm not."

"No? From your tone, you appear to have something on your mind."

Being highly attuned to emotions, she could instantly tell that he was troubled.

He, however, reassured her. "Don't overthink it; I'm fine."

He then pivoted on his feet and looked questioningly at her. "Where have you been?"

"Oh, I went to the mall this afternoon to purchase some daily necessities."

"Purchase? What's there to purchase?"

"Bedding, blankets, and whatnots…"

She ended up being recognized amid her shopping. Luckily, Gong Jie was around to save the day, or else her situation would really be unthinkable!

Mu Yazhe was left exasperated, though. "We have those at home. Surely, there's no need to purchase any?"

"We have a need for such items; that's why I went out to purchase those…"

After pondering for a second, she succinctly repeated to him what her father had told her over the phone this afternoon.

She said smilingly in the end, "Uncle has always taken good care of our family. Now that he is in that state, there's not much I can do other than try to meet his needs!"

"All right, but be careful whenever you leave the house! Things can get dangerous if people recognize you."

His words reminded her of what had happened just this afternoon. The thought of her being surrounded by so many people still left her heart palpitating in trepidation.

"Let me know what needs to be purchased in the future. I'll then order people to prepare them for you! I get worried when you go out."

Touched, she nodded smilingly in reply. "Okay, I'll do that."

Without caring much about being in their children's presence, the man took her in his arms and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

She pushed his shoulders away and protested in a muffled voice, "Hey, exercise a little restraint! The kids are here!"

"It's fine, and just as well, too. Let them learn about it."

'Let them learn about it'!

Surely, this 'education' is a little too early for them?!

He asked gently, "There's no dinner at home tonight. We'll be heading out for a meal; what do you want to eat?"

"I… I can't think of anything right now." She turned to look at her son. "Youyou, what do you want to eat?"

"I'll listen to mommy!" 'Mommy's boy number one chirped.

"I'll listen to mommy, too!" 'Mommy's boy number two obediently sat on the fence.

Her eyes twitched hard in response. After thinking hard for some time, she turned to her man helplessly. "Do you have any suggestions?"

"I'll listen to you," answered the number-one wife's slave, his soft gaze on her.

…

Hey, was there a need for this?

Leaving her to tackle the world's toughest problem of 'where to eat for tonight'?

Taking their preferences into consideration, the pizzeria was eliminated as the kids did not like pizza.

As for French cuisine, she was sure that the man was pretty sick of those!

Thus, after much consideration and at her suggestion, the family of four decided to eat Chinese food.
