IPVS Chapter 24.9

At 8:30 in the evening, the audience in the live broadcast room was still full of expectations.

Because just a few minutes before the live broadcast ended, the program team slipped a task card into the crack of the door.

Tomorrow is Sunday. The program team organized the guests to take their children out to play. The task cards inserted were voluntary. If they were willing to go, they could go downstairs to gather at nine o’clock in the morning.

An An naturally wanted to participate. Seeing that the child was in high spirits, neither Mo Sui nor Gu Yicheng refused.

The guests didn’t know where they would go tomorrow morning, and the audience didn’t know either.

However, this did not prevent everyone from having high expectations.

After watching a movie, it would be fun for the whole family to go out together, even if it was just to play with fitness equipment in the community!

With a ‘click’ sound, the live broadcast room closed on time.

Gu Yicheng looked at Mo Sui: “You said you let me sleep in your room at night, is that true?”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes glanced at An An thoughtfully as if to say that she could never go back on her word in front of the child.

“You eavesdropped on my conversation with An An?” Mo Sui raised an eyebrow.

Gu Yicheng: …

“Ahem–” He squatted down and said to the little dumpling, “It’s wrong to eavesdrop. Dad wasn’t eavesdropping. He happened to hear it when he passed the bathroom.”

The innocent An An didn’t have any doubts and even asked for Gu Yicheng: “Mom, is it true?”

“Of course, it counts.” Mo Sui said calmly.

Next, it was time for happy washing and scrubbing.

An An took a bath and changed the little pink pig’s one-piece pajamas into the little gray pig. She was still too cute.

After the sweet-smelling baby came out of the bathroom, it was Mo Sui’s turn to wash, and finally, it was Gu Yicheng’s turn.

Growing up, Gu Yicheng’s living conditions were very generous. He had never lived in a house with only one bathroom. Even bathing had to be arranged at a scheduled time and rotated.

But at the same time, he had never experienced such a deep sense of happiness in his heart.

Having a small home of his own was such a wonderful experience.

Ding dong—

The sound of the doorbell interrupted his thoughts.

Gu Yicheng took Little Gray Pig to open the door. As he walked, he said, “It’s so late. If Dad isn’t home, don’t open the door.”

“Will Dad be away from home?” An An asked curiously.

Gu Yicheng looked confident: “No.”

He would never be driven away again.

The door opened. Sister Wu and two young men carrying wooden boxes stood at the door.

Gu Yicheng was stunned for a moment: “What is this?”

Sister Wu greeted them warmly and asked two young men to carry the box in.

Next, people opened the box.

Gu Yicheng suddenly felt something was wrong.

Then, in a matter of seconds, the two young men set up the simple bed.

***

Mo Sui came out of the bathroom, dressed meticulously.

The light gray long-sleeved pajamas were buttoned to the top and tightly buttoned, and the pajamas were also long, not even exposing her ankles.

She rubbed her long hair that was not completely dry and said in a lazy tone, “Is Sister Wu gone?”

“Gone!” An An said in a sweet voice, “I’m helping Dad make the bed!”

The little dumpling hummed, lying on the simple bed in the corner of the bedroom, helping his father make the bed.

Mo Sui nodded with satisfaction: “When you entered the bedroom, there was a big bed. The quilt was thick and it wasn’t cold anymore. Let’s stop making trouble now, right?”

Gu Yicheng choked when asked and faintly uttered three words: “No more trouble.”

After the words fell, he said to An An in a negotiating tone: “The baby can go back to her room to sleep, okay?”

An An was still working hard to spread the quilt, raised her little head, and opened her mouth into an ‘O’ shape: “Ah…”

Mo Sui looked at the silly little dumpling with sympathy——

Baby, someone here is crossing the river and burning down the bridge¹過河拆橋, guò hé chāi qiáo: lit. to destroy the bridge after crossing the river (idiom), fig. to abandon one’s benefactor upon achieving one’s goal..

Translator’s Comment:

Hahaha… Serve him right!

But, how could this Dad Gu so annoying? Since he can’t enter the master bedroom, he also doesn’t want An An to sleep there either.

Really petty, like his old father!
