996 Let’s Discuss How Malevolent His Highness Was

Baili Jia Jue let out a cold laugh. The black ornamental ring on his finger glinted with a dark light as he placed it against the handrail of the stairs.

Everyone knew better than to provoke the emperor. However, no one was aware of the reason behind the emperor’s apparent cold expression in the morning, when he was usually emotionally stable.

Even if they lived 9,000 feet below the sea level, they still wished that they could jump out of the mansion to get some fresh air..

However, it all changed in the next second.

The heavy atmosphere in the room suddenly evaporated.

The corners of Baili Jia Jue’s lips curled up into a smile, when he saw the woman cooking in the kitchen with her head lowered. The menacing coldness emanating from him dissipated as his emotions became warmer.

The demons were touched beyond words. Great Lord Phoenix is definitely the angel that is here to save us!

“What are you doing?” Baili Jia Jue reached over and hugged his Little Phoenix from behind.

Helian Wei Wei did not stop preparing the food. She put the knife down and lifted the lid of the pan next to her. Then, she pinched a pan-fried stuffed bun from within and fed it to him. “I just made this, eat it while it’s hot. It has your favorite prawn fillings inside.”

As Baili Jia Jue munched on the delicious bun, he felt a warmth surge through his body. Other than their souls, he did not crave human food. However, it would be an exception if it was made by a certain person.

“Does it taste good?”

“Yeah.”

“Then, I’ll make more.” Helian Wei Wei seemed content with his reply. “There’s nothing left in the fridge, so I just ordered someone to buy these prawn fillings, but I only bought a little. Anyhow, there’s still the long beans and egg filling. You love long beans, so you can eat a few more before work later.”

Baili Jia Jue gobbled another one, but this time he fed himself. “I don’t have to go to the office.”

“You don’t have to go to the office?” Helian Wei Wei frowned and asked, “But today is Thursday.”

Baili Jia Jue’s voice was calm and unhurried as he replied, “The company’s rest day is on Thursday.”

Helian Wei Wei had no words in response.

Baili Shangxie was busy helping his little brother with his napkin at the dining table. However, when he heard his father’s words, he could not help but roll his eyes at him disdainfully.

His Highness seemed to realize how absurd the lie he had just made up sounded, so he nonchalantly changed the topic and asked, “Why is the bun so small?”

“Qingchen and Shangxie are still little, so big ones are not convenient for them. It’s easier for them to eat smaller ones without staining their clothes. Besides, it’s also easier to digest,” Helian Wei Wei explained as she shaped another stuffed bun and placed it into the pan. Then, she replaced the lid over it and commented, “Alright, it’ll be done in 10 minutes, I’ll make something else in the meantime.”

Evidently, Baili Jia Jue did not like Helian Wei Wei focusing on other people, including his sons. “Don’t bother yourself. Those two brats can digest anything.”

For some reason, Helian Wei Wei felt like laughing when she saw His Highness purse his thin lips. Without any warning, she tilted her head and kissed him, saying sweetly, “Help me bring the plate to the table.”

Obviously, Baili Jia Jue’s mood lifted, but he still found the two little third-wheelers seated opposite him annoying. Qingchen could be easily let off the hook, but he was utterly vexed that the elder son, who did not have to eat human food, was competing with him for the pan-fried stuffed buns.

Baili Shangxie loved annoying his father. He was well aware of his father’s possessiveness, hence he deliberately ate a few more of the pan-fried stuffed buns.

Baili Jia Jue glared at his actions coldly as an evil grin crept onto his face. “Shangxie, you don’t have to go to kindergarten today. The advertisement company that you collaborated with previously was very satisfied with your performance, so they want to appoint you to shoot another advertisement. Come with me to the office in the afternoon. There’s something that I need to discuss with you in private.”

Baili Shangxie almost choked on his bun, and he struggled to reply, “Dad, I’m still a kid, isn’t it bad to work at such a young age?”

Helian Qingchen was at an utter loss of words. Are there really no other objectives behind these words?

“Do you not want to enter the entertainment industry anymore?” Baili Jia Jue’s eyebrows twitched dangerously.

Baili Shangxie gritted his teeth. He wanted to, but he did not want to discuss this matter with his father in private. What would the difference be between this and him being beaten up one-sidedly?

“I also feel that Shangxie may be too young.” Helian Wei Wei stroked her elder son’s hair and continued lovingly, “Wouldn’t it be too early for him to enter the entertainment industry?”

Baili Jia Jue slowly glanced over at Helian Wei Wei. “I don’t think so. He’s already three years old. He should be able to earn money to sustain himself.”

Helian Wei Wei blinked, speechless.

Evidently, there was a glaring difference between His Highness’ definition of mature age and hers.

Even so, Baili Shangxie was a great elder brother. Thus, when he heard that he could earn money, eventually, he agreed reluctantly.

Baili Shangxie would have never cared about this in the past. However, ever since he was reunited with Qingchen, he felt that he had the responsibility of feeding this family.

Baili Shangxie’s definition of supporting the family was buying tasty food and fun toys for his younger brother, as well as providing him with a lot of money.

Therefore, Baili Shangxie disgruntledly followed his father to the company that day.

Usually, there were not many people in the chairman’s office in Jue Wei Group. Hence, it was rather convenient for Baili Jia Jue to have a ‘friendly’ talk with his son. He asked, “Now, tell me. Did you snitch on me to your Imperial Mother when I wasn’t around?”

“Dad, I can tell you everything, but can you not make me stand so close to the wall? You’re scaring away all the ghosts around here.” Baili Shangxie raised both of his small arms in defeat, his little demonic canines were almost showing.

Heedless, Baili Jia Jue unhurriedly produced his phone and opened up WeChat. “Face the phone. You must list out all your crimes honestly to your Imperial Mother, and add another list of three of my strengths. Or else, I will dump you back into the demon realm next month.”

No matter how aloof Baili Shangxie usually was, he seemed to be losing his cool at this moment. Thus, he tugged at his hair and avowed his crimes in the message.

“Mom, I shouldn’t have said that dad has had many women before you. In fact, he’d been relying on his right hand a lot throughout these three years.”

“You already know how much of a pervert he is, he thinks that everyone is dirty anyway.”

“Hmm, I also shouldn’t have said that he cheated, or thought of leaving the family with you and little brother.”

“He asked me to list three of his strengths. I spent a long time racking my brains, but I still couldn’t think of any.”

When Helian Wei Wei played his last voice message, a man could be heard hissing in a deep voice, “Shut the hell up, you brat!”

She could not help but break into a peal of laughter. Instead of replying to his message, she called him directly and asked, “What are you trying to do?”

“He feels sorry and is repenting now,” Baili Jia Jue lied with a straight face. “Where are you now?”

Helian Wei Wei put away the things in her hands and replied, “I’m at the garage, but I’m almost done. There’s nothing left to eat in the fridge at home, so I was thinking of bringing Little Qingchen to the supermarket later.”

“I didn’t drive to work today.” Baili Jia Jue glared at his elder son who was playing with the reapers against the wall, before taking a glance at the reporters standing guard outside the building. The corners of his thin lips gradually hooked up into a smile as he said, “Come and pick me up from work. We can stop by the supermarket together. Then, we can go home...”
