Imperfect Desires

Bo Jiu smiled at her cautiously as she said, "There is nothing wrong with that. But I always thought that my Tyrant Boss will have a little tyrant baby."

Xiu frowned at her, "What little tyrant? He is too young for that." She leaned over to whisper, "I'll train him well when he grows up. For now, let's just indulge in his cuteness."

Bo Jiu instantly gave her a thumbs up in her heart since her hands were still holding her cat who was meowing arrogantly. The cat opened her eyes and looked at Rowan with her blue eyes since the little baby was happily rubbing its fur. Rowan found it so interesting that he didn't wish to part.

In the end, Bo Jiu also joined them. As she watched Xiu sitting down on the swing with both Ava and Asteria on each of her sides, she raised her brows. It almost felt like the queen was sitting in the middle with her two officials at the side. What a sight!

She shook her head to remove these thoughts from her head and stood beside the swings. She put her cat on the bench while Xiu untied the baby carrier and put Rowan down. The little boy was dressed in a white shirt that gave him a lively and spirited look. He happy trotted over to the cat's side to tease it some more.

Meanwhile, Bo Jie looked back at Xiu and asked, "Boss, what are you doing here?"

"Girls, what are we doing here?" asked Xiu.

"Sightseeing," echoed Asteria and Ava simultaneously.

Bo Jiu turned her head to look around curiously. What sightseeing? Wasn't it just like any other park? Although there was indeed a beautiful lake where swans were swimming lazily, that still didn't change the fact that it was just a park! What exactly was here worthy of sightseeing?

"You need to have a discerning gaze for sightseeing," informed Xiu as she looked around. But to be honest, she felt bored. These 'sights' didn't please her anymore. Her family's husband was still the best sight to her. Especially when he was without clothes. Hehehehe...

Xiu licked her lips at the thought and swallowed down the saliva that almost drooled out of her mouth. That would ruin her image. Even if she was lusting over her husband's body rightfully, she needed to keep it all in check for now. She couldn't let others know about it.

It took Bo Jiu a while to realize which 'sight' was worth 'seeing' around here. And she was left gaping in shock. The lofty image of Raelle was suddenly turning loftier! What did you think it will collapse? No way! Isn't this the best way to spend your lazy evening? Why did she never think of this? Indeed, the almighty boss is almighty for a reason! How can a peasant like her resonate with the taste of the queen? 

Xiu had no idea what was cooking in Bo Jiu's head since she was lost in her daydreaming. Quite a few scenarios ran through her mind. And each of them involved, pouncing on her husband tonight! One should always have aspirations, no? 

"Momma," Rowan walked over to Xiu's side with his small legs and tugged at her clothes. 

"Yes, my little tiger?" asked Xiu indulgently.

"Kitty doesn't like baby," he pouted adorably at his mother.

Xiu's heart almost broke at this sight. Note the word, 'Almost'.

She picked him up saying, "Cats are heartbreakers, mommy's darling little tiger. Their love doesn't last long but their indifference also doesn't last long."

"Really?" asked Rowan in a small and innocent voice.

"Really," agreed Xiu. She looked at Bo Jiu and asked, "Do you have any dried fish?"

Bo Jiu immediately rummaged through her bag and pulled out a bag of dried fish. She put it all in front of Xiu who took a piece and gave it to her son. "Go and offer it to the lofty kitty. Let me see how long she can resist the temptation of food."

"Will she like me after that?" asked Rowan with anticipation shining in his eyes.

"Like you?" Xiu repeated strangely. "She'll love you. History has proven that everyone is a slave for food. This is the world of foodies! No one can resist the temptation."

"Got it," Rowan nodded his head as if he understood everything his mother said. And even if he didn't, who cared? He'd just do as his mother said. Even his father didn't disagree with his mommy, how could he go dare to go against her words?

As Xiu put him down, he immediately ran over to Sweet Pea and offered the dried fish. And as if the universe was conspiring with Xiu or perhaps, Sweet Pea was her accomplice, the cat actually fell for this temptation and even rubbed her face against Rowan's face making the little boy giggle happily. 

"Momma, look! Sweet Pea likes me now!" Rowan announced happily.

Xiu was pleased to see this expected result. As if she could go wrong. Food can do wonders!

"Wow! Xiu is awesome!" exclaimed Ava exaggeratedly.

"Of course! Xiu is never wrong!" Asteria also went along with her cousin.

But of them made Xiu blush who said, "I feel so great when they think so highly of me."

Bo Jiu's lips twitched when she saw all of this and she leaned over to whisper to Xiu, "Boss, aren't you teaching these young kids the wrong things?"

"I'm teaching them the survival tactics, what's wrong with that?" retorted Xiu.

Bo Jiu couldn't really tell what was wrong with that but to be very honest, she really thought something was wrong with Xiu's teaching and yet it sounded right. Temptation had always been the bane of human desires. Whether the temptation was of food, money, power, or even love! Although Xiu only talked about food, Bo Jiu felt like the word temptation in itself was enough to speak out loud.

But will she dare to repeat herself? 

Hell no!
