House Dad's Literary Life-Chapter 23

“Where did you get the money to be able to live here?” When Mo Fei came to pick up her daughter, she saw Yang Yi’s new address and looked at Yang Yi suspiciously.

No wonder Mo Fei is suspicious. What kind of place did Yang Yi live in before and what kind of place does he live in now? Don’t mention Yang Yi, Mo Fei herself is a little jealous!

“Mama, don’t scold papa. Papa says you can live here, too!” Xixi hurriedly ran over, holding her mother’s long legs to persuade her.

“Who wants to live here?” Mo Fei was stunned and said.

With the disposition of the previous Yang Yi, Yang Yi was really not used to this bad-tempered woman. However, it seems that after a few days with Xixi, Yang Yi’s edges and corners become less sharp.1

Looking at Mo Fei’s appearance, he just frowned and had no intention of quarrelling with her.

He opened a drawer, took out the lease contract and handed it to Mo Fei. “Well, I’m lucky to rent it for only a dollar! I met a good man.”

How could Mo Fei believe such a good thing? She frowned and looked at the lease contract over and over again, but there was nothing wrong with it.

Finally, Mo Fei gave up. She reluctantly handed it back, but still asked suspiciously, “Why are you renting such a big house?”

Yang Yi showed her too much change this time!

Is this still the same simple and sincere Yang Yi? Or the Yang Yi that is unrepentant and stubborn enough that made her stomp her feet?

“To open a coffee shop!” Yang Yi said.

Coffee shop? You? You do not even drink tea, and just drink boiled water. Open a coffee shop? Mo Fei felt her vision darken, and she asked angrily, “Do you even know what coffee is?”

Yang Yi speechlessly said, “Don’t underestimate people, will you? Why don’t I make you a cup of coffee?”

“No thanks, I don’t drink instant coffee!” Mo Fei snorted.

Yang Yi was too lazy to bicker with her and turned to the bar. There is a small bar in the restaurant on the second floor. In the past, the old man used to drink wine. As the saying goes, a person who drinks red wine and played classical music was elegant. But now, Yang Yi temporarily occupied the nest and put on his own utensils for preparing coffee beans.

Initially, Mo Fei’s cold eyes were filled with distrust, but gradually they were replaced by surprise.

Yang Yi grinds the coffee beans carefully with a manual coffee grinder. During the whole process, his movements are very delicate, not as rough as beginners.

Mo Fei was completely surprised by this scene. She could not believe her eyes.

“How could he do that? And with a manual coffee grinder?” Mo Fei was puzzled.

It should be known that most coffee drinkers nowadays choose to make coffee in a one-stop coffee machine. Mo Fei belongs to this kind of person. She drinks coffee to refresh herself, but she doesn’t like doing things tediously.

Only real enthusiasts will use this retro method to grind beans, right? Because they enjoy the process, and it is said that the powder that is ground out by this method is more uniform and finer, and this also produce the best taste of coffee.

But Mo Fei has tried this before, and at her level, there wasn’t any difference…

Just as Mo Fei was in a trance, Yang Yi came to Mo Fei with the prepared coffee. He gently put it on the table in front of Mo Fei, and then smiled gently, “The coffee beans are not the best, but please try it.”

With Yang Yi’s physique, it is difficult to associate him to the word “gentleman”, but somehow Mo Fei was stirred by Yang Yi and her heart beat faster.

Mo Fei was used to being cold, and she would not make an expression that would make a fool of herself. However, in order to hide her confusion, she picked up her coffee and drank a big gulp.

“……” Yang Yi was speechless when he saw this scene.

Who said he didn’t know anything about coffee just now? Now someone drinks coffee like this, isn’t it cow chewing peony?

After Mo Fei calmed down, she felt the fragrance and bitterness of the coffee. Hmm, it was delicious!

“You put sugar in it?” Mo Fei looked at Yang Yi.

“I did, you wouldn’t be able to drink the original flavor.” Yang Yi said faintly as he drinks his coffee that he did not put sugar in.

He really put sugar for her! Mo Fei’s heart warmed, but what she was even more pleased with was, how could Yang Yi know her taste? Has he specially studied for her?

However, Yang Yi was not finished talking, and then said: “Some studies have shown that when women drink coffee, in average, they put a spoonful and half of sugar. It is reasonable indeed.”

Suddenly, the warm feeling in Mo Fei’s heart disappeared. She clenched her fist and immediately became angry.

“Okay, now I’m convinced that you can open a coffee shop.” Mo Fei wiped her lips, and she began to pull out her purse. “Your coffee shop, I want to invest, I want half of the shares!”

What?

Yang Yi looked at Mo Fei in surprise.

“Why, am I not welcome to invest?” Mo Fei stared and said.

Of course, Yang Yi did not want to. He originally set up this coffee shop for the mood. He never thought of making money. He invested some money in it by himself, and the loss was his own. Of course, since the rent was given almost for free, he could not lose much.

But the question is, why would this woman want to get involved?

Yang Yi has a feeling that his favorite toys are being stared at. If he had been in a previous life, Mo Fei would have been torn apart by him!

“Yes, you’re not welcome!” Yang Yi refused.

Mo Fei was so angry with him. She thought of a way to give him some money to make him financially viable, but she was refused so stiffly. She said unconvinced, “This is also Xixi’s home. Why can’t I invest in it?”

“No.” Yang Yi’s answer was simple and crude.

“Then where did you get the money for decoration? Where did you get the startup fund?” Mo Fei said as she gritted her teeth. She was about to fight him.

“I have money.” Yang Yi feels that if she goes on, it will be a bit difficult to deal with. After all, there is really no way to explain the money.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have work so hard to get this money! Yang Yi secretly sighed in his heart. Why is this woman so troublesome? Keep asking questions? No, I have to find some way to make money, and launder the money!

There’s no need to toss about like this in the future. It’s not difficult to make money honestly. But now he still has to find an excuse. It’s really tiresome.

Unconsciously, Yang Yi’s thinking began to align with the normal people.

But Mo Fei was so angry with Yang Yi that she looked like she would explode at any time like an ignited barrel of explosives!

Fortunately, at this time, Xixi came running from the sofa nearby, holding her mother’s hand and shaking her. She said in a delicate way, “Mama, don’t get angry with papa. Let me show you my room, ok?”

She couldn’t understand what her mother and father were saying, but she still felt the atmosphere was not right.

Mo Fei was finally pulled away by her daughter. When she looked back, she gave Yang Yi a look of resentment. Of course, the big star was still very free and easy, and she snorted in her heart.

“No, no! Do I need it? Yang Yi, you rigid person, you will close down soon, and see if I will help you!”
