Chapter 29: The Son Gloats

Dongfang She half-reclined on the sofa with his eyes closed, silently counting in his mind. Yet when he reached thirty, the expected doorbell still failed to ring.
His eyes flew open, their green depths as cold as ice. With one long stride, he snatched up his car keys, slammed the door behind him, and strode out.
The night breeze was chilly, and with summer already drawing to a close, Yu Jin’s business suit left her legs bare below the knees. She shivered as she walked, cursing the rich under her breath.
Beep, beep, beep—
Accompanied by the shrill blare of a horn, a row of headlights suddenly swept toward her. Yu Jin instinctively raised a hand to shield her eyes from the glare. The next second, a limited-edition Bugatti Veyron arrogantly cut across her path. Dongfang She’s eternally roguishly handsome face appeared through the window.
“Get in. I’ll drive you home!”
“No!” Yu Jin refused without a moment’s hesitation. How could he drive her home? What if he saw Fire’s eyes…
Irritated, Dongfang She flung open the car door, walked around to the front, and, without another word, scooped her up and stuffed her into the passenger seat. He then returned to the driver’s side, shifted gears, and sped off.
“I already said you didn’t have to trouble yourself…” Yu Jin was torn between trying not to get carsick and cautiously studying Dongfang She’s expression. His face was taut, and he looked thoroughly displeased. Who had managed to provoke him this time?
“Shut up! I’ve got plenty of time!”
“…”

At 9:40 p.m., a luxurious Bugatti Veyron roared into Lilang Town. A certain mischievous child, who happened to be eating instant noodles at home, let out an appreciative whistle.
Yu Jin got out of the car, but in the end she could not escape the fate of throwing up violently. Dongfang She frowned and secretly decided that next time, he would drive a little more slowly.
“Won’t you invite me in for a while?”
Dongfang She took a bottle of mineral water from the car and handed it to her.
Yu Jin shook her head. “It’s so late. It wouldn’t look good if the neighbors saw you.”
“All right, then. Good night, Assistant Yu. See you tomorrow.”
To her surprise, Dongfang She did not pester her. He waved, got back into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away.
Yu Jin took her keys from her bag and opened the door, only to find a certain little darling looking utterly thrilled.
“Mommy, Mommy, did you come back in Daddy’s car?”
“Straighten your tongue before you speak.” Yu Jin was furious. The child was so young, yet he already knew how to act cute. What a little devil. If not for your ridiculous matchmaking scheme, would your mother have to suffer this much?
“Mommy, did Daddy drive you home?” Fire asked with a beaming smile, his emerald-green eyes sparkling with lively mischief.

Yu Jin nodded, clenched her fists, and ground her teeth. “That madman! He drives like he doesn’t care whether he lives or dies!”
“It’s perfectly normal for men to enjoy speeding!”
Seeing that Yu Jin truly looked exhausted and that her complexion was rather poor, Fire obediently stopped bombarding her with questions. He poured her a cup of hot water, led her to the sofa, and tuned the television to her favorite soap opera.
“My son is the only one who really cares about his mother! Unlike your heartless father—capitalists exploiting people at every turn!” Yu Jin sighed. After drinking the hot water, her stomach finally began to feel a little better.
Damn it! From now on, she absolutely would not ride in Dongfang She’s car again!
“Oh? You only went to work for one day, yet it seems like so much happened. You and Daddy are progressing at lightning speed!”
Fire’s eyes were moist and bright, resembling those of a harmless little deer. Unfortunately, his relentless determination to get to the bottom of everything left Yu Jin utterly helpless.
Embarrassed, Yu Jin finally gave in to her son’s interrogation and honestly recounted all the absurd events of the day.
After listening, Fire doubled over with laughter, beating his chest and stomping his feet until his little face flushed bright red.
His own father was simply too amazing! Who would have thought of pretending to suffer from erectile dysfunction just to deceive his mommy? Hahahaha!
