Jie had to take a shower in the guest room but he couldn't do anything about it. Even standing under the showerhead, his mind was wandering off to his wife. "Argh! She's a hot mess. Emphasis on the hot part since she loves to make a mess out of me!" He ran his fingers through his hair exasperatedly.
Coming out of the room with a towel around his neck, Jie checked the door of his bedroom again. But finding it still locked, he sighed out, "I have the cruelest wife in the world."
"And you still love her..."
Jie was startled as he heard that voice and turned around with a hand over his chest. Looking at that little boy that reached his waist, he said, "For goodness sake, Bao! You scared the living daylight out of me."
The little boy, Zhu Bao shrugged his shoulders indifferently and turned around to walk towards the kitchen. Jie followed behind him and seeing his usual straight face, he asked, "Son, why are you awake at midnight?"
