Chapter 1180: Extra: Huo Yao Gets Naughtier and Naughtier!

Although taking care of Huo Yao is quite exhausting, Minal and Ye Xi are both off today, so they have plenty of time and energy.

The two of them played with Huo Yao all day, so by the time Huo Feng came to pick him up, the child was already asleep.

Huo Feng felt a bit guilty when he dropped him off in the morning, and was still guilty when he came to pick him up.

It wasn’t until he saw that Ye Xi and Minal had a good attitude that he felt relieved.

Huo Feng cheerfully took Huo Yao from their hands, feeling refreshed, "Thank you two, I’ll treat you to a meal another day. But tomorrow, are either of you off again?"

Ye Xi refused directly, "I have work at the lab tomorrow."

Minal, however, agreed enthusiastically, "I’m free! I’m on winter break now, so I have time every day! I can help you take care of the kid!"

"Deal!"

Huo Feng nodded happily, "Then I’ll bring him over to you again tomorrow morning."

Minal nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay~"

Seeing Minal so happy, Huo Feng asked, "How about I just leave him here with you tonight?"

Ye Xi: "No way!"

Minal: "Sure!"

Ye Xi: "..."

Huo Feng looked at Minal, feeling refreshed, and nodded with a smile, "How about this? I’ll take you back to your dorm, and let my son sleep at your place?"

Minal nodded vigorously like a pecking chick, "Sure, sure!"

Ye Xi squinted at her, not knowing what to say.

Getting herself into such a troublesome situation and still looking so happy—truly carefree!

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to your dorm." Huo Feng chuckled.

"Leaving now~"

Minal reluctantly looked at Ye Xi by her side, feeling unwilling to leave him.

There wasn’t any alone time with him today...

Oh no.

Ye Xi was quite speechless at Minal, so he was also rather heartless, "Then you can go with Huo Feng."

"Oh~"

Minal tugged at Ye Xi’s sleeve, "You’re just going to let me go like this? Not even a bit of persuasion to stay?"

Ye Xi originally wanted to say that he could take her for a walk once Huo Feng picked up Huo Yao.

But since she’s so silly, she can just deal with the consequences herself.

"Aren’t you going to take care of the kid?"

Ye Xi raised his voice slightly, "Then just go."

"Hmm..."

Minal puffed her cheeks and left with Huo Feng in a huff.

As she walked, she kept turning her head back to look at Ye Xi, staring at him intently.

Ye Xi didn’t disappoint her, standing at the dorm entrance, watching her leave without returning to his room early.

This made Minal feel better again.

On the way back, Huo Feng carried Huo Yao in his arms, the mommy bag on his back, and Minal walked beside him, the two of them walking side by side.

As they walked, Huo Feng asked her, "So, how’s it going with that ’dog’ Ye Xi?"

"Shut up!"

Minal jumped up, "Who told you to call my fiancé like that! It makes me angry!"

"Oh... just a habit."

Huo Feng paused, then asked again, "How’s it going with Ye Xi? How far have you two progressed?"

Minal shared excitedly, "It’s quite good~ We’re currently interacting as an engaged couple. Although there’s not much physical contact, we’ve been on dates, meals, and movies! And when I introduce him as my fiancé to others, he doesn’t object. He looks like he accepts me!"

But, Minal felt that there was still something missing.

Even if she didn’t know exactly what was missing?

It feels like, even though they did what couples should do, they still don’t quite seem like a couple.

Compared to real couples, maybe they lack a bit of intimacy, a bit of clinginess.

For example, when she saw Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi together, they would kiss, show off their affection, and hug each other often...

Minal and Ye Xi don’t have any of that!

"Oh~ the revolution succeeded!"

Huo Feng teased, "You’re already engaged like a couple, when are you going to hand out wedding candies?"

Minal immediately beamed with joy, clasping her hands, "As soon as he graduates and becomes a professor, then I can marry him! By then, he’ll get a government-provided house! I can decorate it with him and move in together!"

"That’s amazing! The government provides housing?"

Huo Feng was a bit jealous.

Thinking of the few million mortgage pressures he still carried.

Although he could pay it off in one go, Pu Sangzhi said it’s more worthwhile to pay it in installments considering the future depreciation of the renminbi.

But anyway, getting an apartment from work like this in Beijing is pretty amazing!

You know, the housing prices in Beijing are really...

"Yeah! Because Brother Ye Xi is going to stay and become a professor at the university, and his achievements over the past two years have been outstanding!"

Speaking of Ye Xi, Minal’s eyes always shine with admiration for him!

Actually, Ye Xi’s achievements truly deserve the admiration of all the students in his department, and Minal is no exception.

Minal is especially proud of being Ye Xi’s fiancée right now!

"So lucky you are, finding a good man and directly getting a house in Beijing. Impressive, impressive!" Huo Feng complimented her.

Even though it was just a casual compliment, it filled Minal with joy!

Listening to his praise, Minal’s smile was about to blossom.

Later, Huo Feng really handed Huo Yao over to Minal to look after.

During the summer vacation, Minal was living alone in the graduate dormitory since the new students hadn’t arrived yet.

So, taking care of Huo Yao gave her some company.

In the following week, Minal basically took care of Huo Yao during the day and would bring him to see Ye Xi whenever he was free.

This meant that Ye Xi didn’t have much peace for the following week.

Finally out of the lab, Ye Xi couldn’t rest and had to take care of the child. Considering Minal had been looking after him all day and was quite tired, Ye Xi usually took over when she brought him.

Minal comfortably lay on Ye Xi’s bed, playing on her phone, scrolling through Douyin.

Ye Xi fed Huo Yao, changed his diapers, and played with him.

Every now and then, Minal lazily glanced at him and called out, "Fiancée, you’re the best. Thank you for helping me out, I really appreciate it."

At such times, Ye Xi would retort, "Since you’re so tired, why not give him back to Huo Feng?"

Minal, scrolling through Douyin, lazily replied, "Because Brother Feng is really busy. He has a company to manage! Anyway, I don’t have anything going on, no classes, no job, I’m just idle, and helping Brother Feng is also helping Sangzhi~ Plus, I love kids~"

Ye Xi, feeling helpless, said, "If you have so many reasons, then why not look after him yourself? Why bring him to me?"

"Hehe..."

Minal chuckled, "Because I want my fiancée to feel more fatherly love! Right, fiancée!"

Ye Xi: "Ha ha."

He thought she was tired from a day’s work and wanted to help her!

Really no need to overthink this.

She’s simply looking for things to do!

Minal continued to bury her head in her phone, and Ye Xi continued to take care of the child. Almost the same conversation would be repeated after a short while.

But even though Ye Xi often encouraged Minal to send the child back to Huo Feng, Minal, that silly girl, still willingly took care of Huo Feng’s child for an entire week.

It wasn’t until the nanny at Huo Feng’s home returned from leave that Huo Feng took the child back to be looked after by the family nanny.

The home nanny claimed she hadn’t fully recovered from a cold, which made it inconvenient to take more leave. So, they found another nanny to help for a few more days.

However, Huo Feng didn’t bother with these matters.

Huo Feng didn’t care who looked after his son, as long as he was well taken care of and healthy, that fulfilled the responsibility.

As for education...

He wasn’t planning to teach anything to such a little rascal.

...

Time apart always passes slowly.

Huo Feng felt as if the days without Pu Sangzhi had lasted a century.

But when he checked the calendar, it had only been a bit over four months.

Nevertheless, the winter break is indeed approaching, and Pu Sangzhi will be back soon.

Huo Yao is already over six months old, becoming more handsome, growing fair and tender, completely inheriting the good looks from Huo Feng. He can even call Dad now.

But this little guy is getting more mischievous.

Huo Feng has been quite annoyed with Huo Yao recently.

Ever since he learned to crawl, he’s been getting into more and more trouble.

Although the nanny doesn’t have to hold him all day, she has to keep an eye on him constantly.

If she looks away for even a moment, Huo Yao starts rummaging through things, grabbing anything and putting it in his mouth, thinking everything must be delicious!

On a Sunday, after being busy for a while, Huo Feng got a day off.

He calculated the time difference precisely, sat on the living room sofa, and started a video call with Pu Sangzhi to ease his longing.

Pu Sangzhi said she wanted to see Huo Yao, so Huo Feng picked him up and took him over to show her.

Then, Pu Sangzhi saw Huo Yao smack his lips, and something fell out of his mouth...

"What’s he eating?" asked Pu Sangzhi from the other side of the video call.

Huo Feng glanced at the item, with a look of shock on his face.

He didn’t dare tell Pu Sangzhi...

This little guy just ate a button!
