Chapter 2659: Chapter 2663: Darling

"What about me? I have to take care of their baths, prepare their clothes for tomorrow, read them bedtime stories, and coax them to sleep. Only after they fall asleep can I return to my room to do my own things."

"Our economic situation is good, and I still do comparatively little. In an ordinary family without a nanny, both men and women go out to work every day. When men come home, they do nothing and just lie on the sofa like a lord."

"And what about women? During the day, they are exhausted at work just like men, and after returning home, they still have to do laundry, cook, take care of the kids, and clean the house. Nothing can be left out."

After drying her hair, Ye Xingbei put away the hairdryer, climbed onto the bed, kneeled by Gu Junzhu’s side, and poked his cheek, "Tell me, isn’t a woman’s contribution to the family greater than a man’s? That’s why the song goes ’only mothers are good in this world,’ and not ’only fathers are good.’"

"Right, right," Fifth Lord of Gu nodded appreciatively, "Ye Xiaobei, in our family, your contribution is the greatest. You’re the boss!"

"It’s not just our family, most families are like this!" Ye Xingbei sighed, "I’m increasingly feeling that being a woman is tougher than being a man. A long time ago, when women couldn’t go out to work, and there was no stepping beyond the threshold, it made sense that all the household chores were done by women. But now, men and women are equal, both go out to work and make money, yet the housework is still done by women. Don’t you think women are unlucky?"

"Indeed, in many families, women do contribute more than men, much more," Gu Junzhu remarked candidly, pulling Ye Xingbei into his arms, gently brushing away her falling long hair, "But in our house, you don’t have to contribute so much. If you don’t want to bathe them, don’t want to prepare their clothes for tomorrow, don’t want to tell them bedtime stories, you can not do them all. If I have time, I’ll do it. If I don’t, I can have Xiao Chi and the others do it. Anyway, in our house, you can do whatever you want to do, and what you don’t want to do..."

As he spoke, his voice lowered, and his lips approached Ye Xingbei’s ear, kissing it softly, "Darling... if you don’t like it, you don’t have to do anything. You only need to... let me take care of you..."

"...Gu Junzhu!" Ye Xingbei pinched his waist hard, turning over and pressing him beneath her, grasping his neck, "Are you looking for trouble?"

Gu Junzhu laughed heartily, prying her hands open, interlocking their fingers, "I’m serious! Darling, I promise, with me, you only need to do what you want to do. If you don’t want to do something, you don’t have to do anything. I can instruct others to do it."

"I never said I didn’t want to do it," Ye Xingbei slapped him a few times in anger, "I was just casually chatting with you. Besides, things like bathing with them, preparing clothes, and telling bedtime stories — is it really the same when done by others compared to when done by a mother?"

"Even if Xiao Chi and the others can do all these things, they won’t do it like I do. Xiao Shu would definitely want his mom to take care of him, rather than a nanny or anyone else."

"Yes, yes, I know," Gu Junzhu smoothed Ye Xingbei’s hair, saying with a smile, "I know, our Ye Xiaobei is a good wife and loving mother. Kids naturally yearn for a father’s love and a mother’s love."
