The Curse of Desire-Chapter 149. Gold-digger widow (4) I just want to be taken care of, don’t want to struggle
Feng Xing entered his apartment and closed the door. His heartbeat was a little fast, and he felt like he had just escaped from a tiger’s mouth.
He put a hand on his waist and ran his fingers through his short hair. Did this woman know what she was doing? If he were a man with poor self-control, based on her words and actions just now… the consequences would be unimaginable.
Feng Xing felt a hot fire boiling inside his body. He walked to the refrigerator, opened it, took out a bottle of frozen soda and drank a few gulps before his burning body cooled down slightly.
But the woman’s voice still echoed in my mind.
You are so perfunctory.
You didn’t even look at my breasts.
In fact, he did see her breasts. A quick glance when she stood over, and a quick glance when she raised her head to look at his face. There seemed to be a large expanse of white in front of my eyes. He closed his eyes suddenly and raised his head to take another sip of ice-cold soda. This woman was too innocent and had no sense of crisis at all.
Feng Xing really didn’t expect that under her seemingly aloof appearance, she had a cute and naive soul.
It was a bit worrying.
She was already a mother, why didn’t she know this stuff? Was her body just for anyone to look at? If this was his wife, Feng Xing would have to educate her well. It took him another sip of soda to realize that his thinking seemed a little wrong. novelbuddy.cσ๓
He was really dazzled by the woman next door. Feng Xing threw the empty soda bottle into the trash can and took the child into the room.
Bai Qiuyi looked at the time, it was nine o’clock, half an hour before Feng Xing returned. She was verified a friend 23 minutes ago. Bai Qiuyi felt it was time to take action.
«Mr. Feng, have you slept?»
Feng Xing hadn’t fallen sleep yet. He had just finished taking a shower. Looking at the bright phone screen on the bedside table, he picked up the phone.
«Not yet.»
«Mr. Feng, I would like to ask, how long has your wife been abroad for?»
Wife?
Feng Xing sat on the bed, guessing that she was asking about his sister. To others, he didn’t bother to explain, but to this woman… maybe he would hire her tomorrow, so he had better explain.
«I don’t have a wife, Yangyang is my sister’s child»
«ah»
«How long will Yangyang’s mother be abroad for?»
Bai Qiuyi sent two messages in succession.
«She won’t be back in the short term. Why are you asking?»
«It’s nothing, I’m just worried that I will lose my job».
«[Poor]1».
Feng Xing looked at those two messages and felt a mix of amusement and sadness. Even before officially hiring her, he had started to worry. It’s not easy being a single mother.
«Don’t worry, even if Yangyang’s mother comes back tomorrow, you won’t lose your job.»
Feng Xing also knew a thing about breastfeeding and knew that if a woman didn’t breastfeed for a period of time, she wouldn’t breastfeed again. So, even if his sister comes back, she won’t be able to breastfeed the child. Not to mention, his sister had no plans to come back in the near future.
«Mr. Feng, do you have a girlfriend?»
Feng Xing felt that this little woman had a lot of problems.
«No».
«Oh».
After Bai Qiuyi replied to his message, she sent him the gift she had made in advance. Feng Xing stared at the picture, what did it mean? Said ‘oh’, and then sent him a moving picture. It even had the little woman’s face on it.
Feng Xing watched the video playing repeatedly on the screen. On it, Bai Qiuyi covered her mouth and snickered. Her expression was a little joyful, and the captions was also [Joy.]
Really liked being playful. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face, and he sent a message asking Bai Qiuyi, «What do you mean? Are you happy that I’m single?»
«No».
«I feel heartbroken when I think that such an excellent Mr Feng is still single.»
Feng Xing raised his lips, excellent? She didn’t even have contact with him a few times, but she knew he was excellent? But why did it seem to him that her heartache was fake and that she was actually gloating over his misfortune?
«Mr. Feng, I’m going to bed first. Good night.»
Before Feng Xing could think of how to reply to her, he saw this message and had no choice but to say good night too.
Bai Qiuyi put her phone on the bedside table. She had sent a message to Feng Xing just now for a purpose. A child suddenly appeared in Feng Xing’s house, and everyone in the community thought it was Feng Xing’s own child. Every time they asked him, he offered no explanation.
There were still rumours about the child’s mother. People said Feng Xing’s wife had run away with someone else and didn’t want the child or him anymore. When the original owner heard it, she believed it. She felt that Feng Xing’s wife must have run away because he had no future. After hearing about it, she had even less regard for Feng Xing.
So, Bai Qiuyi asked those questions just now because she wanted to hear Feng Xing say from his own mouth that he was single.
If this hadn’t happened, Bai Qiuyi was worried that when she seduced Feng Xing later on, this guy might think: I didn’t tell anyone that I was single, but this woman still seduced me, is she rushing to be a mistress? Bai Qiuyi didn’t want to bear this kind of stigma.
When she got up the next day, Bai Qiuyi sent a message to Feng Xing: «Good morning, Mr. Feng».
It was just after 6:30 at this time. The baby needed to be fed, and Bai Qiuyi was also hungry. If it hadn’t been for these things, she would still be sleeping now.
Feng Xing got up at six o’clock to feed the child milk powder and change his diapers. When Bai Qiuyi’s message came, the child had just fallen asleep.
«Good morning to you. Mrs Lin will come to work at 7:30. If it is convenient for you later, I will ask her to come find you».
«It’s convenient».
When Mrs Lin came over. Bai Qiuyi has just cooked his breakfast. Mrs Lin took her physical examination report and ID card and went back next door. Feng Xing checked the ID card, and then the physical examination report. Then, he took a photo of the physical examination report and sent it to his friend who was a doctor.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Bai Qiuyi’s health, Feng Xing took out the employment contract he had prepared and asked Mrs Lin to take it over to Bai Qiuyi for review. This contract was specially prepared for Bai Qiuyi’s situation.
During her employment, Bai Qiuyi was not allowed to eat spicy food. If the child became unwell after drinking her milk because of her eating taboo foods, Bai Qiuyi would be held responsible.
She must breastfeed the child twice a day and will be earning a monthly salary of 2,000 2. If the child ate her milk throughout the day (7:30 am to 6:00 pm), she will receive a bonus at the end of the month.
This bonus was set to be two thousand five thousand 3.
It also stated that since Bai Qiuyi was a single mother and had a child of her own to take care of, if Yangyang was hungry, it was Mrs Lin who would take the child to her home. Bai Qiuyi was only responsible for feeding it.
When Bai Qiuyi looked at this article, why did she feel that Feng Xing was not caring for her, but was simply avoiding the sight of her breastfeeding the child? Thinking about how he seemed to have run away last night, Bai Qiuyi almost couldn’t help laughing again.
She controlled her facial expression and signed her name on the contract with Mrs Lin’s attention.
After Mrs Lin left with a contract, Bai Qiuyi checked the salary marked on her contract. To be honest, Bai Qiuyi was quite satisfied with it.
She said five hundred last night, just casually. If Feng Xing really only gave her five hundred, Bai Qiuyi’s good impression of him would definitely decline. Fortunately, Feng Xing was very generous4.
She didn’t have to take care of Feng Yang; she only needed to breastfeed, and she could cover her living expenses for a month. If she worked a little harder, she could even pay for the rent. No. She couldn’t be so unambitious. If she worked even harder, she could move into Feng Xing’s house.
Living there, eating his food, using his things, and not even having to pay rent—just the thought of it was delightful. Bai Qiuyi felt like she had completely fallen. It’s not that she didn’t have ideas for making big money and living a good life, but she never considered using them.
She just wanted to be taken care of and didn’t want to struggle.
Translator’s Corner
Bambi, the translator: I love it when Bai Qiuyi flirts with MLs. My heart flutters a bit. (⸝⸝⸝╸▵╺⸝⸝⸝)
Bai Qiuyi: Oh, so am I not a pervert anymore? It’s only when it suits you!ヽ(｀Д´#)ﾉ
Bambi, the translator: I’m sorry. Anyhow, we’re the same kind of people or we wouldn’t all be here at this time! (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ
1、可憐那 (kě lián nà) can be translated as “how pitiful” or “poor thing”. The brackets show this was a sticker. I added an example below.
2、In July 2024, this would be 276.46 USD
3、345.58 USD. So, her whole salary should be 622.04 USD
4、That’s why, it shouldn’t be ‘marry rich but marry generous’ since many wealthy people are stingy.
