"Xiang, is being a father tough?" Yang Chen asked out of the blue. His sudden question shocked the two n sitting in the room.
"Why do you ask?" Ye Chaoxiang managed to ask after recovering from the shock question.
"Well, i see the way you seem to get troubled, happy and sad according to her mood. It's not like I am saying she a problem. It's just that I was thinking that you will be finding it difficult to handle the raising a child with your busy schedule, young age and as a playboy," Yang Chen explained.
"I thought so too but he has everyone with him. I heard that he even started reading books on parenting. Who would have even thought that Ye Chaoxiang would be a father?" Li Fengjin contributed. Life sure knows how to give surprises.
Ye Chaoxiang chuckled at his friends thought. It was true that he had started making research on how to be a good parent. First of all he had to get rid of all his bad habits. His parents had even warned him to stop drinking at all cost.
"If you have an understanding and sweet kid like my baby, then parenting will not be so hard," he said proudly. "I guess so. Well that reminds . With you having a kid, does that an that you are no longer a playboy?" Yang Chen asked.
"Yes, it does. According to the book I am reading, I have to get rid of my bad habits I used to enjoy on the past and it happens that drinking and sleeping around is my only bad habit. So, bye-bye playboy Xiang," Ye Chaoxiang said with a smile plastered on his face. He was kind of loving his new life.
"Who told you that being a playboy was your only bad habit?" Li Fengjin scoffed at him.
"Yeah. Or have you forgotten about the you being a workaholic part?" Yang Chen burst out laughing. "That is not true. I work less now, okay?" Ye Chaoxiang tried to defend himself.
"Who are you kidding? When was the last ti you ca ho early?" Li Fengjin asked. "Let answer that. NEVER." They all knew that Ye Chaoxiang's line of work does not allow him to go ho and rest whenever he wanted to. He always had operations to carry out as he was the best in the hospital. So every now and then he gets ergency calls from the hospital even late at night.
"Well, I'm sorry to burst your bubbles. I was giving a months leave from the hospital so I am apparently not a workaholic," Ye Chaoxiang retorted. His friends sure knows how to get under his nerves.
"Why is daddy frowning?" A little voice disrupted their laughter. Lee Ai ran towards her father and said in askance, "Daddy are you sick? Why are you sad?"
"You uncles are being an. They were saying that I do not have ti for you and that I am a bad dad," Ye Chaoxiang reported like a little kid seeking for justice from his parents. Hearing what he said, Lee Ai gasped and turned to the two onlookers sitting opposite them.
"That is a very an thing to say. Daddy takes care of alot and plays with and reads bedti stories and takes ice cream parlors every weekend. My daddy is the best. It's Chenchen and uncle Jin that are bad because they don't visit little Ai anymore," she said with an angry pout and cute glare.
Ye Chaoxiang felt proud of the way his daughter was defending him. Also the looks on Li Fengjin and Yang Chen's face were priceless. He quickly took out his phone and took a picture of Lee Ai scolding them a d their shocked faces.
"Daddy don't be sad, okay? I will tell grandma Li that we will not give anyone the cooking we made except from you. Let's go and check it now," Lee Ai turned out the other two who still a shocked expression on. "As for you two big bullies, reflect on your sins, hmph."
