Chapter 134 Avoiding housework and childcare is a traditional virtue of strong women
Seeing the two getting along well, Xie Junfei took off his coat and went upstairs to book a piercing appointment.
The bone conduction earphones that Shen An gave him looked very similar to ear cartilage studs. In order not to attract the attention of others, Xie Junfei simply had one made and could just wear it when the time came, which was convenient and quick.
Having booked an appointment with the piercing technician, Xie Junfei was just about to lie down on the bed for a while when Zhang Ma knocked on the door:
"Young Madam, Little Radish Head is calling you downstairs."
"This little housekeeper likes you. If she doesn't see you for a few minutes, she cries like a little child."
Xie Junfei: "........I'm coming right now."
The afternoon break was wasted on the hot springs. Zhang Ma watched with a kind smile as Robert put on a show in the living room, and after each show, Xie Junfei had to give him a genuine review, not just a perfunctory one.
Xie Junfei spent the entire afternoon and evening cooperating with Robert, this high-needs baby. In the end, she was so tired that she didn't even need to take melatonin when she lay down in bed.
Before the puncher arrived on Sunday morning, Robert had already learned to use the wheel to go up to the second floor. Early in the morning, he dragged Xie Junfei out of bed like a broken record and made her play with him.
Xie Junfei, looking troubled, got up from the bed. While Robert went to get breakfast from Zhang Ma, she picked up the phone on the table and called Shen An, who was on vacation.
"I can't take it anymore! Why is taking care of AI as tiring as taking care of a child?!"
"I'm just a poor high school student who's sleep-deprived! Now I can't even sleep in on weekends!"
"If this keeps up, I'm really going to turn evil! If that happens, Robert will mimic my emotions, upgrade to version 3.0, and blow up the Earth, you believe me?!"
Seeing that Xie Junfei was about to lose his temper, Shen An quickly comforted him:
"Don't worry, Robert will grow up too. You only need to wait two more weeks."
“I’ve programmed it so that it will add one year to your age each day after you come home, until it reaches twenty-five years old and then the program will stop. After that, it won’t wake you up so early.”
Following Shen An's words, Xie Junfei counted on his fingers for a moment, and then everything went black.
Robert is currently at the age of seven or eight, an age that even dogs dislike, and only Zhang Ma, who loves children, can tolerate him.
However, Zhang Ma had some family matters to attend to in the afternoon and needed to take leave, so Robert, this hot potato, was about to fall into her hands.
For a traditional, strong woman, it's perfectly normal to avoid housework and childcare. While locking Robert out, Xie Junfei made a subtle phone call to Huo Shen.
The Huo family's chairman's office.
The man sat in his boss's chair, with a mountain of documents piled up in front of him, all requiring immediate attention.
Huo Shen returned from Haicheng overnight, intending to go straight to Jasmine South Street to cuddle with the young girl and have a good night's sleep. Who knew that although Huo Qi, that idiot from the Sixth Branch, had fallen, his subordinates were still incorrigible. They caused him a huge mess and then stubbornly claimed that it was Huo Shen's decision-making mistake and that Huo Shen should take responsibility.
Huo Shen had just dealt with this useless subordinate and had his own people clean up his mess when his secretary invited him to her office to deal with a pile of project documents that had accumulated during his business trips and required the chairman's decision.
Having held a high position for many years, Huo Shen was also very efficient at work. In just two hours, he cleared out most of the files on his desktop.
The secretary entered, brought out hot coffee, and was about to say something when the phone on the table rang.
Upon seeing the contact's name, a soft look flashed in the man's eyes. He picked up the phone and answered, his voice gentle:
"what happened?"
The woman's voice on the other end was soft and cheerful:
"Huo Shen? Are you back from your business trip?"
Huo Shen lowered his eyes, handed the approved documents to his secretary, and patiently said:
"Something came up at headquarters, so I came back early to handle it. I'm finishing up now and will be home before noon."
The secretary didn't know what the girl on the other end of the phone said. After hanging up, the boss immediately stood up and gave him instructions:
"I'll organize the remaining documents and take them home to process."
The secretary glanced at the remaining documents on the table; they were all relatively unimportant. She immediately nodded and began tidying them up.
Today is a non-working day, and since the boss is working overtime, we employees naturally have to stay with him. Now that the boss is gone, we can get triple overtime pay and leave early. Yay! Long live the boss's wife!
The secretary didn't show it on her face, but she was secretly overjoyed.
However, since getting a fiancée, Mr. Huo, who is known as a workaholic, seems to have rarely worked overtime. He has even been late and left early several times, which has made their work much easier.
Such a wonderful day! Wishing the boss and his wife a long and happy marriage – from all the staff of the secretariat.
Half an hour later, the man arrived home on time.
Before he even got out of the car, Huo Shen saw his little girl dressed like a little bread roll, standing at the gate, eagerly waiting, with an oval robot of some unknown kind beside her.
Seeing the familiar van parked in front of him, the man had just opened the door when Xie Junfei jumped into his arms like a cannonball.
Huo Shen lowered his head, the frost in his eyes dissipating, and his voice softened:
"Do you miss me that much?"
Xie Junfei nodded vigorously:
"Yes, I missed you so much, Uncle Huo! Come inside quickly."
After saying that, she grabbed his forearm tightly as if afraid he would run away, and dragged him into the yard without saying another word.
The strange, oval-shaped robot followed closely behind them, happily entering the yard.
After the two entered the house, Xie Junfei locked the door before letting out a sigh of relief and looking at the man eagerly:
"Uncle Huo, are you tired? Are you hungry? Would you like some water?"
Seeing the girl's obsequious manner, the man had a feeling something was amiss.
Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; there's no smoke without fire. Huo Shen tentatively answered, seemingly unrelated to the question:
"What's wrong? Is the Xie family's capital insufficient, and do they need additional investment?"
"Or is Xie Wenzhou short of money due to failed investments?"
Xie Junfei: ?
What does this have to do with Xie and her elder brother?
What is all this mess?
Suddenly interrupted, Xie Junfei's mind went blank for two seconds before she immediately logged back in, grabbed Huo Shen's hand, and asked him earnestly:
"Huo Shen, do you like children?"
Now it was Huo Shen's turn to be puzzled.
He subconsciously glanced down at Xie Junfei's stomach.
He remembered that they hadn't done anything, not even anything borderline.
Where did this child come from?
Xie Junfei noticed his gaze, and in embarrassment and anger, she covered her stomach. Her fawning expression instantly vanished, and she slapped the man.
"Stop looking around! I only have poop in my belly! No babies!"
"Just answer my questions, don't overthink it."
The man didn't know why she asked that, but he answered honestly anyway:
"I like you, but I like girls even more, preferably girls who look like you."
Girls are so wonderful, so sweet and soft like little strawberries. During his business trip, Huo Shen met his business partner's daughter. After the dinner, the little girl toddled over to them and called him "Daddy" in her sweet, childish voice, which melted everyone's hearts.
Xie Junfei was overjoyed and grabbed Robert, shoving him forcefully into Huo Shen's arms:
"That's wonderful! It's a big, healthy baby girl! You'll definitely love her!"
"Come here, Robert, call me Dad!"
Robert, unaware of what was going on but obediently doing as instructed, exclaimed, "Dad!"
