House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 58 - Inner Guilt

"Well,Yang Yi, how come I didn't realize that you were so rich?"

Mo Fei finally came back, but then came her questioning and interrogation.

As Yang Yi expected, she soon discovered Yang Yi's petty bourgeois life¹. He not only arranged a lot of expensive furniture and equipment in the coffee shop, but also bought a lot of brand clothes for Xixi, a large wardrobe full of clothes!

Mo Fei askedYang Yi to take photos before, but because the cell phone pixels in this world werestill very low, Mo Fei didn't saw them clearly, so she didn't know that all theclothes Yang Yi bought for Xixi were expensive.

With regardto this, Mo Fei was still on the level of suspicion, but seeing Yang Yi'sseemingly expensive Tyrant Wolf, Mo Fei's suspicion turned to worry!

"Tellme honestly, did you do something bad?" Mo Fei bit her lower lip andendure until they went upstairs. Xixi was watching TV in the living room. Shepulled Yang Yi to the kitchen and almost blocked him against the wall.

"Dosomething bad?" Yang Yi pretended to be confused.

Mo Fei'seyes were red with anxiety: "You're still lying to me, you didn't doanything bad, where did you get so much money? Buying clothes and a car? "

Yang Yi wasshocked. Mo Fei's emotional outbreak was a bit sudden, and it made him a littleflustered, especially seeing her red eyes. Yang Yi felt that he had really donesomething wrong. He was inexplicably ashamed.

Seeing YangYi dodging her eyes and saying nothing, Mo Fei stamped her foot anxiously andsaid, "If you are short of money, tell me. You are Xixi's Papa. Can I nothelp you? Besides, I also have a lot of money! Why do you have to do those badthings? "

Looking at MoFei's appearance, Yang Yi also felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't know why.He suddenly remembered that after he was reborn, he had "taken back" 2 million!At first, he thought it was right, but now, facing Mo Fei's sincere eyes, whydoes Yang Yi felt that this was the most shameful thing he has ever done?

From the beginning,he didn't dare to be outspoken with Mo Fei!

"What haveyou been thinking? What bad things can I do?" Yang Yi smiled reluctantlyand acted according to the script he had thought about before.

"Tellme! Where did you get all that money? Could it be that you're… you're sellingyourself?" Mo Fei was as tough as before, and then her voice graduallysoftened. "Don't hide it from me, even if it is… even if it is a bad thing,let's try to solve it together. I still have a lot of money, and maybe I canhelp you get out." (TN: Not sure if I've got the "selling yourself" partright. Raw: 莫不成,你去贩……贩独了？Selling himself here means like a hired thug, doing dirtythings. I think.)

This sillywoman…

Yang Yi isalso a person of flesh and blood. He was moved by Mo Fei's words. However, heis not a person who likes to show his emotion. The more such unfamiliar emotiongrows, the more he wants to be ordinary.

"Mo Fei,calm down." Yang Yi grabbed Mo Fei's shoulder. Mo Fei, who is a littleover 1.7 meters, looks tall, but her body is very thin, with the exquisitenessof a southern woman.

Mo Fei didn'tcomply, and just like Xixi, Yang Yi must give her an answer.

"Good,I'll tell you, I do have other sources of income, but it's all proper business!"Yang Yi took Mo Fei to his study. He turned on the computer and pointed out hiscurrent series of popular novels to Mo Fei. "I published a book online,but I didn't expect it to be very popular."

Yang Yideliberately obscured the time of publication, and Mo Fei has not thought ofthis point. She sat down skeptically, scrolled the mouse, and read the briefintroduction of the book.

Seeing thatit was a military novel, Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't read themain text, but she still believed that Yang Yi could indeed write such a novel.After all, this guy really had the experience of being a soldier.

"Youmake so much money writing a book? And bought a car?" Mo Fei frowned, alittle puzzled.

Yang Yismiled faintly and said, "Yes, I should be able to get over a million yuanthis month."

It is nowJune 3rd. According to the data collected by the system background yesterday,Yang Yi's sales share in May plus the bonus share, according to the new ratio,Yang Yi can get 1,174,214.08 yuan.

Of course,reward still accounts for a high proportion. Online sales, for the time being, can'tshow the power of "Soldier Assault".

Mo Fei lookedat Yang Yi strangely and said somewhat sour: "Writing books makes so muchmoney? If I had known that, I wouldn't have refused when I was asked to publishan autobiography a few years ago. I've been running around so much, but I can'tmake a few dollars a month!"

Of course, MoFei is exaggerating. After all, she was a big star four years ago. Even if herinfluence isn't as great as before, her performance fee is not comparable tothat of ordinary second-tier stars!

In the twoweeks of business performance and publicity, her income can also be comparedwith Yang Yi's!

If she canreturn to the top after the release of her new album, then her income fromholding a concert will probably be two or three million! Of course, the incomefrom selling songs will be more!

(Andy Lau'sconcerts were the most profitable, with more than 10 million at the box office,and Andy Lau got more than 4 million with three CDs.) (TN: Author's trivia)

Obviously, MoFei was only acting to be sour, and the faint smile on the corners of her mouthexposed her delight.

Now she canconfirm that Yang Yi hasn't done anything illegal for personal gain. As forYang Yi being able to make so much money by writing books, Mo Fei was alsohappy for Yang Yi.

"Stayfor dinner tonight?" Yang Yi looked at Mo Fei, who had crossed her longlegs that's in black stockings and was reading his novel with great interest. Thelatter had no intention of moving, so he had to pour a glass of water to herand asked helplessly.

Mo Feiglanced at the water handed by Yang Yi and drank half a cup impolitely. Her redlips left lipstick marks on the cup.

"No,Sister Ling had invited me to dinner tonight, and I must also bring Xixi."Mo Fei paused and glanced at Yang Yi, but didn't say what was in her heart.

It's not thetime to tell others about Yang Yi… Mo Fei herself was a little confused. What washer relationship with Yang Yi?

Forget it,I'd rather not!

…….

Mo Fei wentback with the reluctant Xixi, but she didn't pack Xixi's clothes, toys anddaily necessities.

With therelease date of her new album approaching, she is getting busier and busier. Shemay take Xixi back to stay for a few days, and then return her back to Yang Yito take care of.

"You'vebought a car! Next time, you have to come to my place to pick up Xixi! "Before Mo Fei left, she asked Yang Yi to drive her and Xixi around the dam ofthe canal. She pursed her mouth and said with a little emotion, "Later ontoday, I'll go straight to the hotel, and later you have to send me back!"

Yang Yiconcentrated on driving and said calmly, "No problem, I'm just a phonecall away."
