Chapter 1413: Paternity Leave
The first day of the new year was also the time when friends visited one another.
When the sky has yet to become bright, Tian Xiaojuan called Yun Bixue to send their greetings for the new year. After the phone calls in the morning, they came to the villa in the afternoon with gifts.
In the end, Yun Bixue and the six other ladies fooled around, making the place lively.
Xie Limo was afraid of Yun Bixue overtiring herself, so he got her something to eat before bringing her back to the room. However, Yun Bixue was slightly unhappy since she wanted to spend more time with her friends.
Xie Limo coaxed, “Be good. You did not rest well yesterday night. Your body won’t be able to take it. Take a two-hour nap, and after that, I will wake you up.”
“Xie Limo!”
“Yes? I’m here. Why are you calling me by my full name?”
“I’m going to complain to Mother.”
“About what?”
“You’re controlling everything. I don’t have any freedom.”
Xie Limo coaxed again, “That’s okay. I’ve already told her, and she approves of me treating you better. Xue, listen to me. Bear with it. After a year, you can do whatever you want, okay?”
Yun Bixue shuddered. One year was too long!
Looking at Yun Bixue’s unhappy expression, Xie Limo pulled her into an embrace and pecked her cheek. He whispered into her ear in a deep voice, “Xue, try to understand me too. I have to endure for that span of time as well. You know how much I want you, and yet I have to hold myself back, so please listen, okay?”
Yun Bixue’s face flushed red as she poked Xie Limo’s chest with her finger. “How can you say such shameless things?”
Xie Limo pulled her fingers up for a kiss. “If I didn’t say it, how would you know how I feel?”
Upon hearing this, Yun Bixue became calmer. It was not just troubling for her, he had to hold himself back too.
She waved her arm. “Go out then. I will nap for a while. Remember to wake me up in two hours.”
“Okay, rest assured. I will get your friends over for lunch and let them accompany you for the rest of the afternoon.”
Yun Bixue smiled gently. She was still immensely satisfied with Xie Limo’s attentiveness.
Just before Limo left the room, Yun Bixue said, “Limo, after new year, you can return to work too!”
“I will be at home to take care of you.
“It’s not very good for you to be missing the political scene for such a long time, right?” What Yun Bixue was thinking was actually about the freedom she would gain if she was alone at home. Furthermore, she was thinking about the licensing of the ordnance factory.”
Xie Limo replied in a crisp voice, “My wife is pregnant. It’s only natural for me to be on leave.”
Yun Bixue’s eyes widened. Men can take paternity leave as early as now?
Xie Limo caressed Yun Bixue’s hair and kissed her on her eyes. “Don’t worry. In the strategy meeting this year, men have been allowed paternity leave as well!”
Yun Bixue gaped visibly. It was her first time hearing that. As expected, her Young Master Xie was influential, so much so that sometimes she could not follow.
Yun Bixue laid on the bed resignedly before turning her back to Xie Limo.
Xie Limo, who was afraid of her bad mood, went onto the bed and hugged her. “Why are you unhappy?”
“I feel that I cannot do anything, and it’s infuriating.”
“Then after new year, I’ll take you out to play to have some fun. How about that?”
“It’s so cold. Where can we go?”
“We just have to go to the southern hemisphere. While we are having winter here, it’s summer over there. There’s also the Xiang Valley that’s like spring throughout the seasons.”
