A Really Abusive Mother

Although she tried very hard to fall asleep, her brain was filled with the image of Xiao Moli answering the phone.

Even this rascal with the weird temper and toxic tongue was able to show gentleness at times.

Although she did not know who was at the other end of the line, she was sure that this person was someone that he liked for him to display such a gentle side.

An Ziqi was filled with anger as she concluded that, truly, men were mere animals who thought not with their brains but with their instrument down under.

He was already in love with someone, and yet, he had the gall to try it on with her and sow wild oats everywhere. That woman must be a really poor judge of character.

Her mouth was hurting badly. That man was an animal through and through!

***

The next morning, in between massaging her back, An Ziqi made breakfast.

Although the couch was soft, sleeping on it for an entire night had caused her back to hurt badly.

Again, she silently cursed the person who had caused her to sleep on the couch.

Xiao Moli got out of bed and had just walked out of his bedroom when he was accosted by a tantalizing aroma.

When he saw the person hovering about in the kitchen, he was momentarily stunned.

Emerging from his room, Xiao Yining glanced at Xiao Moli who was standing in his way in the corridor. Calmly, he circled past his father and towards the dining room.

Seeing that An Ziqi was massaging her back, he asked, "Mummy, did Daddy hurt you again last night?"

An Ziqi's hands shook and the plate that she was holding nearly crashed into Xiao Yining's face.

Putting the breakfast on the table, An Ziqi turned around, gave those tender cheeks a severe pinch, and replied in desperation, "Shut up. You are just five years old, OK? I'm the one who has a bone to pick with you. Didn't you say that your daddy would not be back?"

"That's right. How was I to know that he would be back?"

Xiao Yining's cute face was puffing up like a bun as he looked sadly at An Ziqi and said, "Ouch."

Knowing that he was once again playing the pitiful kid, An Ziqi glared at him and released her hands. "Just as well you are not really my son. Otherwise, I would surely haul you up and give you a good beating!"

Xiao Yining massaged his cheeks, which had turned red from being pinched. Mummy was really abusive!

He hoped that she would not keep her promise to beat him up real good when she eventually found out the truth.

Standing further down the corridor, Xiao Moli watched An Ziqi and Xiao Yining as they squabbled and ate breakfast in the dining room. Unexplainably, he experienced a sensation of warmth and coziness within.

Living a life like this was also quite palatable…

Instead of proceeding towards the main door as intended, he made an about-turn and walked towards the dining room.

Taking a seat at the dining table, he looked at An Ziqi and said without preamble, "Breakfast."

Lips pursed, An Ziqi got up, went into the kitchen, and emerged with the master's breakfast, placing it in front of him.

Elegantly, Xiao Moli picked up his cutlery and began to eat his breakfast, looking pleased.

Xiao Yining stole glances at the pair, looking from one to the other. Looking smugly satisfied, he kept his head down and continued eating his breakfast.

An Ziqi kept checking the time on her phone as she ate.

Oh my gosh! It was so late already!

In a hurry, she kept stuffing food into her mouth. Then, she got up from the table and spoke to Xiao Yining, "Sweetheart, take your time to eat. I need to go to my training. I need to hurry to make it there on time. I will not wait for you."

Having said that, she planted a kiss on Xiao Yining's face, picked up her coat, and left hurriedly.

Xiao Yining reached up to wipe away the saliva on his face. Rolling his eyes at Xiao Moli, he said, "At this time, there would be no taxis available downstairs."

Raising his glass, Xiao Moli took a sip of the milk gracefully and responded brusquely, "That is not my problem."

Taking his time to finish off the food on his plate, he rose from the table, picked up his overcoat, and left the apartment.

At the main entrance of Guerlan Elite…

An Ziqi had been standing by the roadside for a long time and was not successful in flagging down a cab.

She frantically looked at the time. She did not want to be late on the first day of her training program.

If all else failed, she would just have to walk there.

With steely resolution, she started walking. However, after a few steps, a really cool and sexy red Ferrari suddenly stopped beside her.
