Chapter 530: Awful timing
Much later, the couple lay in bed with their arms wrapped around each other, still out of breath.
Xiaoshi pushed him onto his back and crawled onto him, drawing circles on his firm chest. She couldn’t believe how long it had been since she did this. She smiled down at him.
"Xichen, I want you to know that it doesn’t matter how rich or poor we are. Yue and I will still be grateful. Besides, you have already been doing enough before you went all crazy." She was not exaggerating. He must have felt unsure of his capability with the arrival of a new member in the family but in real sense, there wasn’t anything to complain about when it came to him taking care of the family.
"Besides, I have a job too." She added after a short pause.
He spoke for the first time. "I can’t use your money."
He sounded so natural saying it that she wanted to roll her eyes at him. "Screw those stereotypes. What if I had a job but you didn’t? Would I let you starve just because of some outdated beliefs about the husband being the one responsible for the family’s financial needs?"
Knowing that he would never be able to talk her out of it, he smiled. She was right, but he was not going to let her worry about him.
"Don’t just smile." She pinched his cheek furiously. "You are not allowed to work yourself to death for the extra income. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my wife." He hugged her.
