"Song Xiaoxi! Havenât I told you not to eat this junk food?"
"Eating it once wonât kill me."
"You just got sick today, and youâre eating McDonaldâs tomorrow. Do you want to end up in the hospital getting shots?"
"Then what should we eat?" The one asking was Ye Yang. "Care to introduce us to some healthy meal options?"
Song Jiaqi made up her mind: "...Iâll come over tomorrow night and cook for you, OK?"
"Oh!" Ye Yangâs eyes lit up. "Thatâs a good suggestion. I think your cooking is even better than my nannyâs. How about you take over while sheâs not here? Iâll pay you."
"...Who wants your money!" She wasnât interested in the nanny thing at all, alright? "Only this week, next week you can do whatever you want! If you love takeout, eat takeout, I donât care!"
Really?
Ye Yang remained expressionless.
He bet sheâd still be here in a week.
Song Xiaoxi hadnât said anything when Song Jiaqi jumped in: "Song Xiaoxi, let me put it this wayâIâm not doing this out of concern for you. Iâm just afraid that if you get a stomach ache and your dad comes back to say I spoiled his daughter, I wonât be able to explain."
"Oh..." Song Xiaoxi took a sip of her porridge and asked, "Isnât my dad dead?"
Song Jiaqi raised her hand and knocked her on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your dad is alive and well! Didnât I say heâs just on a long trip and will come back when you grow up?"
"Tch... Who believes your lies for three-year-olds? My dad is definitely not around."
"Iâm telling you with a clear conscience, your momâI swear heâs alive! Or let lightning strike me!" Song Jiaqi said this while pounding her chest.
Ye Yang and Song Xiaoxi both widened their eyes.
Is she really making such a serious oath?!
Because of their expressions, Song Jiaqi was taken aback, swallowed a gulp, and awaited the response from outside.
Fortunately, after a while, there was no sound. She cleared her throat and said, "See? Even the heavens are saying Iâm not lying."
Of course, she wasnât lying; the man was sitting right across from them, so how could such an oath come true?
What was she even worrying about?
...
After everything was settled, it was already past midnight. She coaxed Song Xiaoxi back to bed and only then went downstairs to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
While washing, she thought, wait a minute, why did she just agree to be a free nanny here?
She really must have lost her mind to refuse his payment!
She did it to save face, but thinking about it now, it was a bit of a loss. Being a nanny for a week could earn her quite a bit! She wasnât someone who could afford to refuse this money!
Song Jiaqi wished she could slap herself hard. Serves you right! Being such a big mouth!
Ye Yang stood on the second floor watching as she finished washing dishes and quickly turned around to return to his room, afraid of being seen.
Song Jiaqi didnât even glance toward Ye Yangâs room. After going upstairs, she went straight to Song Xiaoxiâs room. When she opened the door, Song Xiaoxi was already asleep.
Ah, after a night of fuss, itâs good that everything is fine now.
After entering, she adjusted the blanket for her and gently pinched her nose with two fingers: "You little troublemaker, I must owe a debt to you and your dad from a past life."
Seeing her asleep, Song Jiaqi stood up and walked out, quietly closing the door and going downstairs.
She turned to look at Ye Yangâs room. Since it was tightly closed, she decided to forget about saying goodbye to him in person and just send him a message later.
