"Can't you say something nice to cheer me up? I'm so exhausted, yet you can't even offer a few sweet words?"
She was clearly playing coy.
Meng Yuhuai's face showed a look of difficulty, a mix of embarrassment and helplessness, his ears reddening as he scratched his head. Finally, bracing himself, he bowed his head and nuzzled her cheek, "Wife, my treasure, you..."
"Pfft!"
Before he could finish, Hua Xiaomai burst out laughing, spraying him with spit and waving her hands, "Oh my, just save it! Even I can't stand it, let alone you!"
"Hua Xiaomai, can't you just give me a little face!" Meng Yuhuai put on an angry face as a joke, but as they were laughing and talking, Nanny Liu Wen pushed the door open and entered.
"Yuhuai, you better leave for now. I need to stay with your wife for another hour to prevent any complications. The baby can stay with his grandma tonight. When it's time to feed him, we'll bring him over, so Xiaomai can get a proper night's sleep."
