nYu Yaoyao momentarily broke down while eating a delicious steak. And this made Shen Yichong think that this woman’s aptitude to ask for large sums of cash has broken through again.
nMaybe if she worked harder and starred in a blockbuster movie, he wouldn’t think of it as big deal.
nHowever, she only constantly fools around while shamelessly asking for money!
nShen Yichong’ eyebrows twisted. He wiped the sauce smeared on the little face of the steamed bun who had his mouth opened in a daze and looked up towards Yu Yaoyao, briskly asking, “How much do you want?”
nYu Yaoyao paused, “What?”
n“For this month’s pocket money,” he shot back icily.
n“You did well on the set today,” then he added, “It’s rare that you would act like this.”
nThis was the first time he had heard from her own mouth the impossible words that she missed him and her son. If he hadn’t known her so well in these past five years, he would have believed it easily.
nYu Yaoyao’s charming and elegant face which was white as snow frowned. Her voice was full of confusion and hesitancy as she questioned, “What does this have to do with pocket money? Isn’t it just a reward?”
nShe is a reasonable person; she won’t dare ask for anything not unless she deserved it.
nThe corners of Shen Yichong’s mouth sank, and he glanced at his son, who was eating happily, before raising his eyes back towards her.
nHis eyes were especially daunting as he sarcastically said, “When you were on set—what you specially said to me. Don’t you remember? Weren’t you doing it for your five million?”
nAnd now, she is crying for no reason at all while eating dinner—isn’t this a blatant scheme to catch his attention and ask for money secretly?
nIt’s not like this hasn’t happened before. Back then, when she wasn’t satisfied, forget if her cried reached all the corners of the earth and towards the heavens—she won’t cry until she sees the money!
nHowever, Yu Yaoyao was only dumbfounded at the reason for his iciness.
nShe swallowed her saliva, sensing the danger in the air and her eyes were opened wide, looking at Shen Yichong as she asked disbelievingly, “You…are going to give me five million? Just because I said on set that I miss you?”
nWith a bang, Shen Yichong smashed his fork on the table in mortification!
nHis iciness was at its peak, and his face was several shades darker.
nThe steamed bun Shen Rui instantly jerked up at this sudden outburst, a grain of rice still stuck on the corners of his mouth.
n“What’s the matter with you?” Yu Yaoyao immediately became incensed.
nShe only said that she missed him, and now he is acting like this?
nIs this man actually a masochist inside? Will it actually make him happy if I did the opposite? Wait, does he want that?
nThis man is harder to please than her ancestors!
n“M-mom and dad…mom…y-you, don’t-quarrel.” The steamed bun, who was sitting to the side, trembled so much as unstoppable tears gushed from his eyes.
nYu Yaoyao glared at the unreasonable man before her and immediately hugged the steamed bun brushing the golden beans from his cheeks, and quickly comforted the little guy by packing him on the back soothingly.
n“Don’t be afraid, my baby. We’re not fighting.”
nShe explained with a smile, “Mommy is an actress. And this is mommy’s line on the audition for her next play. You fell asleep in the car, so mommy was not able to tell you. Naturally, mom asked dad to help mommy practice her lines.”
nAs soon as the steamed bun heard this, he was stunned, and he immediately looked up at Yu Yaoyao’s smiling face.
nYu Yaoyao’s smile intensified into a brilliant sunflower. “It’s dad’s fault he scared the baby. His lines were so hard that he threw the fork and surprised the baby…but this was only because dad is a bad actor and forgot his lines.”
nThe steamed bun looked back at Shen Yichong.
nFaced at this imploring gaze, Shen Yichong dropped his gaze and remained silent for a moment.
n“Yes, dad only forgot his words.”
nThe steamed bun finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Dad has to practice more.”
nYu Yaoyao laughed and joked, “Baby, dad is not an actor. Just let him off the hook for now.”
nOn the other side of the table, Shen Yichong fixed her with a complicated look.
