Chapter 49: Are You Jealous Again?

Ever since they had decided on the program, every afternoon after preschool, Ning Tiantian and her group would practice at Tiantian’s house with Er Ha.

As for Cookie, she would bring Da Mi along.

“Wow, Tiantian! Your place is huge!”

“There’s also a pool and a garden!”

“Tiantian, we didn’t expect your family to be this wealthy!”

The kids were looking around in wondrous amazement as if they were seeing all these for the first time.

“This is my hubby’s place. Mine is over there.” Ning Tiantian pointed at the villa next door.

“Old men are indeed rich!” All the boys said in agreement.

“My Inky is no old man!” Ning Tiantian glared at the four boys.

Ning Tiantian was getting ready to open the door, but it opened even before she could stick her key in.

“You’re back a little late today.” Li Yanmo frowned, wielding a spatula and dressed in an apron. When he saw the kids standing behind Ning Tiantian, his brows furrowed even more.

What was this?

Li Yammo questioned Tiantian with his eyes.

But before Tiantian could answer, the kids behind her chortled, “Hi, Uncle.”

Some even winked at Tiantian, saying, “Tiantian, your dad is so young!”

Uncle? Dad?

The spatula almost dropped from Li Yanmo’s hand.

He was only a few years older than Tiantian. Did they have to exaggerate?!

“What dad? He’s my hubby!”

Ning Tiantian growled with her face flushed.

Kids at this age didn’t have particularly good memories; they’d already seen Li Yanmo once in the past six months when he came to fetch Tiantian from school. Perhaps they couldn’t recognize him in casual home wear.

“Tsk… how old!”

The four little boys covered their mouths and giggled.

Li Yanmo glowered as he watched this bunch of kids walk into his living room to play with Er Ha. He was tempted to drive them out, but couldn’t be bothered to open his mouth. So he went back to the kitchen with his spatula.

By the time he was done cooking, Cookie and the little boys had already left.

Li Yanmo didn’t say a word as he placed the dishes on the table.

Ning Tiantian stared at the dishes on the table – The first plate was stir-fry vegetables, the second plate was stir-fry vegetables, the third row… the fifth plate was still stir-fry vegetables!

Ever since she kissed him on the mouth for the sake of meat, there should have been meat at every meal, but now…

“Inky, are you jealous again?” Ning Tiantian set down her chopsticks and crossed her arms, a bemused expression on her face.

“Bullsh*t.” Li Yanmo refused to even look at her.

How could he claim that he wasn’t jealous?

Ning Tiantian gestured resignedly. “We’re performing ‘The Pet War’ on Children’s Day. I invited them over to practice with Er Ha and Cookie’s Da Mi.”

“Then bring Er Ha to someone else’s place for practice.”

“Well then, where do you suggest we go?” Ning Tiantian cocked her head as she supported her chin with her hands. “Cookie’s dad is sensitive to dog fur, so we can’t go to Cookie’s. We’ll have to go over to one of the boy’s homes!”

“Suit yourself.”

“Then I won’t come back in the evening!” Ning Tiantian raised her voice.

Slam!

Li Yanmo threw his chopsticks, turned around, and coolly walked up the stairs.

“He’s obviously jealous. Still trying to act cool!” Ning Tiantian pouted and let out a loud humph.

Ning Tiantian disregarded the plates of vegetables in favor of scavenging the kitchen cabinets for snacks.

But the kitchen smelled of meat!

She took a deep sniff, then removed the cover of the pot to the sight of her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs!

Aw, so nice of Inky!
