Chapter 54: Mine, I’ll Wash Them

He carried her back to the room and naturally ate the half-eaten egg still clutched in her hand.

Jiang Xiaochao didn’t know what mischief they had done behind his back, and he was unhappy that Hu Yao went out to play last night without taking him.

In the past, it was so much fun for them, mother and son, to sneak out at night and play behind Jiang Han’s back, even though they would be scolded when they were caught.

After Hu Yao recovered, she hadn’t gone out with him at night to play!

She went out on her own yesterday.

Jiang Xiaochao pouted, a little aggrieved, “Mommy didn’t take me to play.”

Jiang Han rolled his eyes at him, “Take you where? Your mother will be playing with your dad at night from now on!”

Jiang Xiaochao’s mouth pouted even further. He had been resentful that Jiang Han didn’t let Hu Yao sleep with him at night, and he stiffened his neck, “Why?”

“Because this old man is your dad.” Jiang Han snorted, striding out.

“Quietly eat your egg and don’t wake your mother. If you can’t stay still, go play with your little buddies. Don’t go running around like a wild dog, up mountains and down rivers, and come back like a stray. I’ll beat you!” He instructed before leaving.

Hu Yao had only gone to sleep just before dawn, and she was woken up by Jiang Xiaochao’s incessant chattering.

Jiang Han’s figure disappeared into the distance, and Jiang Xiaochao let out a big humph, stomped his little foot, wanting to yell at him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered Hu Yao was still sleeping.

He wrinkled his little face and covered his mouth with his small hand.

He obediently finished eating three eggs and then went to Hu Yao’s bedside and lay there for a while. Seeing that she was still asleep, he couldn’t resist his playful nature and went out to play.

He didn’t forget to softly report to the sleeping woman, “Mommy, I’m going to play!”

How could the sleeping Hu Yao answer him? After he finished speaking, he ran off with cheerful little steps.

Hu Yao slept until almost noon. Jiang Xiaochao came back from playing, and she was still sleeping.

The new house had a second floor, and Jiang Xiaochao’s room had been moved to the second floor.

Hu Yao woke up and went to find him. She found him sitting on the railing on the second floor, eating a crispy cake, with half his body hanging in the air, his little feet swinging leisurely!

She took one look and her soul almost flew out of her body.

She didn’t even dare to call out to him, her legs went weak, and she hurriedly ran upstairs to hug him down.

“Chaochao!”

Jiang Xiaochao’s mouth was still full of crispy cake, his cheeks puffed out. He was instantly in Hu Yao’s arms, a little bewildered.

“What’s wrong?” He swallowed the crispy cake in his mouth, still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

After hugging him down, Hu Yao’s rapidly beating heart rate calmed down a little. She looked at his innocent little expression, sighed, and said in a panic, “Chaochao, don’t sit here anymore, it’s very dangerous, what if you fall?”

“Can’t I?”

“No!” Hu Yao nodded solemnly.

Jiang Xiaochao was quiet for a few seconds, then said in a soft, strange voice, “But Mommy and I used to climb to the roof to play, Mommy taught me to climb really fast!”

“Daddy said we were monkeys!”

“…” Hu Yao’s expression froze, and she recalled some chaotic and noisy scenes.

It seemed that she had indeed taught him! She had been a mischievous child, and with her father and Hu Gui-fen, who had always been kind to her, she had been utterly lawless.

Jiang Xiaochao was too young to climb, so she had held him and climbed with him!

Thinking about it, Hu Yao’s face wrinkled.

At that time, Jiang Han had said fiercely that he would cripple them.

Once, she really fell and hurt her leg, and she stopped climbing after that. Her leg hurt terribly, and Jiang Han had mocked and scolded her. She was impatient and angry, and she slapped him…

She had hit him again!

His face had darkened, almost like he was going to eat her!

Hu Yao was startled and stammered, “…Then, didn’t your father stop you?”

She was fine, but Jiang Xiaochao was so young, how could Jiang Han let him follow her and act crazy.

“Daddy said, he even hit me, but I wouldn’t listen.” Jiang Xiaochao was very honest.

Hu Yao was silent for a moment, and for some reason, she suddenly understood how Jiang Han felt when he was angered by him.

She felt complicated emotions, and she gently instructed him, “Chaochao, you can’t play with these dangerous things anymore, Mommy will be sad if you get hurt.”

“Okay!” He nodded quickly to Hu Yao, and he was very obedient. Knowing that she was so worried about him, his little face flushed red, and he gave her the remaining crispy cake with teeth marks on it, “Mommy, don’t be sad.”

He was always so good and obedient in front of her, and Hu Yao’s heart softened. She took the crispy cake with his saliva on it and ate it without any disgust.

With something in her stomach, she felt hungry. She had only eaten half an egg all morning.

She chatted with him for a few more words and then went to the kitchen.

There were quite a few leftovers from the banquet yesterday, and Hu Yao quickly prepared lunch.

Jiang Han didn’t come back, so it was just the two of them, mother and son, eating.

After lunch, she was washing the dishes when she saw the clothes drying in the yard, fluttering in the wind, and her face turned red.

She didn’t wash them.

Last night, he had been a complete scoundrel, making her dirty everywhere, and then he wanted to take a bath with her!

Later, she didn’t know what came over him, but he had a sudden urge to wash the clothes in a good mood.

Thinking back to last night’s events, Hu Yao’s face turned red.

Just as she was thinking about that man, he came back.

“Did you sleep enough? What did you eat just now?”

He came back and saw her staring at the clothes, so he strode over, put his arm around her shoulder, and led her back.

His tone and actions were natural and ordinary. He was shameless and never thought twice about those embarrassing things and felt embarrassed.

“You, you don’t have to wash my little clothes in the future.” Last night, when he was washing clothes near dawn, she had already fallen asleep. She had heard a little noise before going to sleep.

She had never had her intimate clothes washed by a man…

After washing, the feeling was extremely strange, although they had done everything.

“What, you can touch my underwear, but I can’t touch yours? Yours is more precious?” Jiang Han paused, his eyes narrowed, his gaze filled with a fierce intent. Seeing her reluctant expression, he became even more displeased.

“From now on, you wash mine, and I’ll wash yours!” She refused to wash, so he got excited.

“…”

“Let me wash them, okay?” Hu Yao tried to persuade him.

Jiang Han snorted coldly, “No.”

Jiang Xiaochao sat on the doorstep, clutching his round little belly, listening to them arguing over washing underwear.

He was more generous than Hu Yao: “Dad, I’ve washed yours!”

“Get lost!” Jiang Han didn’t want him washing his underwear at all.

Jiang Xiaochao pouted, turning his back in anger, pulling his shirt higher with a big movement, revealing his entire white, round little belly.

“Why do you eat so much every time, you stuff yourself whenever there’s food!” Jiang Han couldn’t ignore his big belly.

“I’m not talking to you!” Jiang Xiaochao was still angry with him.

“I don’t care!” Jiang Han was speechless.

He hadn’t eaten yet, Hu Yao brought out the rest of the food for him. He was talking about Jiang Xiaochao, but he hadn’t eaten much less himself.

While Hu Yao washed the dishes, the father and son went for a walk, returning after a long time, dragging a large tree back to the yard to make a swing.
