Chapter 101: Chapter 77

“Yay, I’m going to be a mom!”

“Can we start playing the game now?” Gu Muxi jumped around excitedly.

Yi Feng casually wiped his nose with his sleeve, “Okay, then I’m the dad, and you’re the mom.”

Later that evening, when Gu Muxi proudly announced her plans to become a mom in front of both their parents, everyone burst into laughter, thoroughly amused.

Now, recalling the incident, she felt so embarrassed she could dig a hole and bury herself.

Gu Muxi’s cheeks burned as she glared at the sleeping Yi Feng, “It’s all your fault, stinky Feng!”

Suddenly, footsteps approached from outside.

Oh no, it sounded like her parents were back!

“Knock, knock.” Someone knocked on the door.

“Xixi, I brought some fruit back for you. Do you want some?” Li Wan asked from outside.

Gu Muxi hurriedly blocked the door to prevent her mother from entering.

“Uh… no, Mom, I’m getting ready to rest.”

“Hmm? Resting so early? Alright, then you rest first,” Li Wan said, somewhat puzzled, then walked away.

Gu Muxi listened to the footsteps fade away at the door, sighing in relief.

She turned back to look at the still-sleeping Yi Feng.

Should she send him back to his room?

But seeing Yi Feng’s exhausted expression, her heart softened.

Alright, let stinky Feng sleep here for the night.

But then she faced a serious dilemma: where would she sleep?

…

The next day, Yi Feng woke up groggily, intending to turn over and continue sleeping, when suddenly he felt his face hit something cold, a cool liquid splashing over him.

“Yikes!”

“Cough, cough!”

Startled awake by the cold water, Yi Feng instantly became alert, touching his wet face, confused.

Who am I?

Where am I?

He looked around and saw Gu Muxi sleeping beside him, and the object he had bumped into was a water glass.

Yi Feng immediately understood everything and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Was that necessary, Gu Muxi?

Am I such a beast?

The noise woke Gu Muxi as well.

“My heavens! Stinky Yi Feng, did you wet the bed?” Gu Muxi, still groggy, felt the wet sheets and screamed.

“You’re the one who wet the bed!” Yi Feng rolled his eyes.

Gu Muxi came to her senses, saw the toppled glass, and realized it was her water glass…n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But… her bedsheet was soaking wet!

“Stinky Yi Feng, you’re going to wash the bedsheet properly!”

“Me? Why should I wash it?”

“It’s your fault it got wet!”

“Hey, it’s your water, what does it have to do with me?”

“It’s my water, but you spilled it! Why were you moving so much?”

The two stared each other down, neither willing to back down.

Eventually, Yi Feng gave in. He shrugged, “Alright, since I slept in your bed, I’ll wash the sheets. A gentleman doesn’t argue with a lady.”

Gu Muxi showed her little tiger teeth, looking both cute and fierce, “You still have the nerve to say that? You fell asleep reeking of alcohol and smoke last night without even showering, making my blanket and sheet stink!”

Yi Feng sniffed his surroundings and realized… it did smell.

Knowing he was at fault, Yi Feng said, “Alright, alright, I’ll take them home and wash them, okay? I’ll wash both the duvet cover and the sheets.”

Gu Muxi crossed her arms, satisfied, “That’s more like it.”

Yi Feng glanced at her nightgown and suddenly blushed, sheepishly saying, “Gu Muxi, maybe you should cover up a bit?”

Gu Muxi blinked, following his gaze down, and realized her nightgown had ridden up, nearly exposing too much…

“Stinky—Yi—Feng! How dare you!”

“Bang!”

Yi Feng was kicked under the bed.

…

An hour later.

Gu Muxi, now dressed in tightly wrapped sports pants, stood at the room door, hands on her hips, watching Yi Feng strip the bed, looking every bit the taskmaster.

“Hurry up, how can a big man be so slow?”

“I’m moving as fast as I can, okay? Stop nagging.”

“No!”

“Alright, I give in to you, old number six.”

“What did you say?”

“Uh, nothing.”

Yi Feng, having packed up the bedding, hugged it, “Okay, then I’ll take them home to wash.”

Gu Muxi glared at him, “Make sure you wash them well and wring them out. Otherwise, they won’t dry for days.”

“Okay, okay, got it, Boss Gu. Do you know you sound like a capitalist right now?”

“Say one more word, and you’ll see just how fierce a capitalist can be!”

Yi Feng, clutching the bedding, dashed out, better to escape this place of conflict!

Gu Muxi, watching Yi Feng’s pathetic retreat, suddenly burst into laughter.

Stinky Yi Feng, you’ve had this coming.

Just you wait, I’ll show you!

…

After returning home, Yi Feng took a shower and washed Gu Muxi’s bedding, hanging it out on the balcony to dry.

By the time he was finished, it was noon. Just as Yi Feng was about to head over to Gu Muxi’s place for some food, his phone rang.

It was Ning Feipeng calling.

“Ha ha, Yi bro, I have good news. I mentioned our deal to Mr. Feng over dinner, and he agreed to meet!” Ning Feipeng’s hearty laughter came through the phone.

“The dinner is tomorrow at 6 PM at Lianxiang Restaurant. Don’t forget, eh!”

Yi Feng was delighted; Ning Feipeng had actually managed to arrange the dinner!

This meant that the deal was already halfway to success.

“Thanks a lot, Brother Ning! You’ve been a huge help!” Yi Feng expressed his gratitude.

Ning Feipeng laughed, “Ah, it’s nothing. Whether you can seize the opportunity still depends on you, but I have confidence in you!”

Yi Feng smiled slightly, “Okay, see you tomorrow at Lianxiang.”

After a few more exchanges, they ended the call.

Yi Feng rubbed his chin, his expression turning serious.

Tomorrow’s dinner was crucial; whether he could open for business soon hinged on this.
