Peach Passion

“How’s our son?”

Just home from work, Zheng Leng saw his wife and dropped her a kiss.  He turned to his six month old son and his eyes filled with love.

“He was noisy the whole afternoon, but he’s finally asleep.”  Xiang Ti was exhausted but she still smiled.

Although their son was too noisy, but she loved to hear the sound of his cry.

“It’s been hard on you.”

Who would have thought, the once workaholic Xiang Ti would be a perfect, patient and caring mother?

Their son was born six months ago.  She has also stayed home for six months.  He knows better than anyone how hard it’s been for her.

Between breast feeding, changing diapers, and coaxing the baby, she refused to sleep.

Soon after he was born, she had returned to her original weight.  Now even thinner than before, he is becoming concerned.

“It doesn’t matter, who’ll take care of him if not me?”

“Go back to work!”  He says, knowing she is eager to go back to work.

“Go back to work?”  The thought fills her with anticipated eagerness.

However, her son is still too young, and her two friends……

She shook her head.  “If I go back to work, who will take care of him?  Besides, Yi Xuan and Cheng Long are also busy with their husbands and children.  What about them?”

“In this regard, I and their husbands have already discussed.”

Huh?!  The three men secretly had a meeting?

“We all think that if smart, capable and ambitious women like you were to stay at home with the children, it would be a pity.  But you also want to go back to work, so we have all agreed that it’s best for you to return.”

“But our son…”  She was very touched.  But looking at her son, how could she go back to work?

“I don’t want to send him to a childcare.  I won’t feel at ease.  What if something happened?”

“We also discussed this.”

Huh?  How many things did they discussed?

“You can set up a nursery in your company.  Hire professional nannies to look after the children while you work.  Isn’t this a good solution?”

“Yes!  Who thought of this idea?  It’s a great idea!”  Xiang Ti couldn’t help but applaud.

“Well, of course you can thank your husband for that!”  Zheng Leng was proud of himself.

Since she got pregnant again, he became like a mouse, chasing her around the house.  He was careful to walk around on egg shells.

Now with this great idea, he once again to walk tall and talk loudly!

“If you have planned it all, then I can go back to work.”  Hooray!

“I get no reward?”  Zheng Leng wanted to bargain.

“Well, I’ll serve you comfortably.”  Xiang Ti smiled with her heart.

However —

In the middle of the night, when the two were sleeping, Xiang Ti suddenly remembered something and immediately jumped from the bed.

“Zheng Leng!”

“What…What’s the matter?”  Exhausted, Zheng Leng could hardly open his eyes.

“Did you use protection?!”

“I…”  Zheng Leng immediately became awake.

“Sorry, I forgot.”

Zheng Leng’s confession immediately earned him a beating.

“You didn’t remember?  How could you forget?!  Did you know I didn’t want to get pregnant?! I’ll strangle you –”
