Xie Yan held her hand and said, "Next time you work, especially with things that require finesse, go slowly and don't rush."
Yu Yue scratched Xie Yan's palm and said, "Don't worry, I can't speak for other things, but my control over strength is better than that of an old carpenter who has been doing it for more than ten years!"
"And these calluses on my hands are protecting me, so I definitely won't get hurt."
Xie Yan glared at her, feigning anger. "You should take better care of yourself! Look how dry your hands are in the dead of winter. Did you forget to apply toad oil?"
Although I know my wife is tough, she's not made of iron, so there's no way she won't get hurt.
Yu Yuehui felt a little guilty. It was hard to work with toad oil on, so she hadn't applied it for the past few days. She thought she would apply it after finishing her work, but she forgot. She quickly smiled, picked up the orange next to her, peeled off a segment, and handed it to him, saying ingratiatingly, "I just ate this orange. It's very sweet. You should try it."
Xie Yan was completely unprepared and ate the orange segment without warning.
The moment the orange entered his mouth, its sourness almost made his facial features distort. If he hadn't had strong self-control, his facial features would definitely have been flying everywhere.
Even the plums Cao Cao used to quench his thirst were not as sour as this segment of orange.
Xie Yan suppressed the sourness in his mouth, forced a smile, and said, "It's very sweet!"
Yu Yuehui was somewhat surprised and asked incredulously, "Really?"
Xie Yan nodded earnestly and said seriously, "Really, it's very sweet. Don't you think it's sweet?"
Yu Yuehui's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face instantly froze. She hurriedly shook her head. She couldn't admit that she had given Xie Yan the orange because she thought it was ridiculously sour and with the intention of teasing him!
Xie Yan glanced at Yu Yuehui calmly, as if he believed her.
Then he broke off another segment of orange, calmly put it in his mouth, and ate it without changing his expression.
This series of perplexing actions left Yu Yuehui completely dumbfounded.
She looked at the orange in her hand with some suspicion, wondering to herself: Could it really be sweet?
That shouldn't be happening!
It was definitely very sour when she ate it!
Intrigued by Xie Yan's words, Yu Yue quietly turned around, her back to Xie Yan, and secretly broke off a segment of orange and popped it into her mouth.
Instantly, the super sour orange juice burst in her mouth, making Yu Yuehui's facial features scrunch up from the sourness.
But being frugal as always, she couldn't bear to spit it out, so she could only swallow the orange with tears in her eyes.
She turned her head, glared fiercely at Xie Yan, and said angrily, "You lied to me!"
Xie Yan's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a mischievous smile, "Why would I lie to you, wife? Didn't you just say that you tasted these oranges and they were very sweet?"
Yu Yuehui suddenly understood that Xie Yan was taking revenge on her!
Just then, Chaochao, who had finished trying out the chair, skipped over and asked curiously, "Daddy, Mommy, what's so sweet?"
Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui exchanged a glance, simultaneously composed themselves, and said in unison with smiles, "This orange is very sweet!"
Completely unaware that there was a trap ahead, Chaochao foolishly stepped right into it. "Really? Then Chaochao wants to eat a sweet orange too!"
Xie Yan and Yu Yuehui are like two cunning little foxes, completely devoid of any so-called parental love, just waiting for Chaochao to say those words.
The two exchanged a smile, and then Yu Yue handed her all the oranges in her hands, saying with a smile, "Since our Chaochao wants to eat them, then you can have them all!"
Chaochao's eyes lit up with excitement as she happily took the orange, picking out the biggest segment and eagerly stuffing it into her mouth.
In an instant, the strong sour taste exploded in the mouth, and the child's face contorted in pain. He was so sour that he jumped up and down, looking absolutely hilarious.
Seeing Chaochao's adorable yet disheveled expression, the "unscrupulous" parents beside her could no longer hold back and burst into laughter. The laughter seemed to pierce the roof and echoed throughout the yard.
The sour taste brought tears to Chaochao's eyes, and she almost cried. After a while, when the sourness in her mouth subsided a little, she widened her eyes, looked at Yu Yuehui with resentment, and said in a pitiful voice, "Mother, you lied to me! How could you lie to me?"
"Waaaaaah~"
"Am I still your favorite little darling?"
Xie Yan quickly turned his head away, his shoulders trembling slightly, unable to suppress a silent chuckle.
Yu Yuehui keenly noticed Xie Yan's sly smile. On a whim, she immediately pointed at Xie Yan and said loudly, "Your father, it was your father who told me to lie to you. How could I deliberately lie to our most, most, most beloved little darling? I couldn't bear to."
"Your father made me do it all."
Normally, Yu Yuehui's credibility in Chaochao's heart is impeccable, so Chaochao almost always believes whatever she says.
Without thinking, he turned to look at Xie Yan.
Xie Yan stared at Yu Yuehui in disbelief, his face full of shock, and said, "Wife, you've changed! You're not the upright and kind person you used to be!"
Yu Yuehui smiled slyly and replied confidently, "That's called 'one is influenced by one's company'!"
Xie Yan: "..."
Well, so it turns out it's all his fault!
Chaochao had no idea what the couple was talking about. She glared at Xie Yan angrily and shouted, "Dad, how could you lie to a child like that!"
"Am I not your biological daughter anymore?"
How could you even lie to me?
Xie Yan lowered his head, looked at Chaochao, and said slowly with a very smug smile on his face, "Chaochao! I'm doing this all for your own good!"
