Chapter 17: What’s a Wife? Can I Eat It?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The English version of “Origin of Species.” Yu Jiaojiao predicted that she’d fall asleep in three seconds if she ever attempted to read the book.
She cleared her throat and tried to start a conversation. “Son, did anything fun happen in the laboratory today?”
Gu Tingwei continued reading his book without blinking. “I might be close to discovering mermaids!”
Yu Jiaojiao reeled and almost fell off her chair.
The corner of her lips twitched. She assumed that Gu Tingwei was spouting nonsense with a straight face.
But this gave Yu Jiaojiao some hope!
Her son wasn’t a science freak. He was just a seven-year-old child!
With such a florid imagination, he was speaking in childish terms.
So he…he was obsessed with mermaids!
On this note—
This was also Yu Jiaojiao’s fault.
When Gu Tingwei was three years old, Yu Jiaojiao had refused to let him go to the laboratory at all costs.
She had even threatened him. If he went to the laboratory one more time, he would never be able to find a wife in the future!
The then three-year-old Gu Tingwei had asked, “What’s a wife? Can I eat it?”
Of course you can eat it!
Yu Jiaojiao explained to Gu Tingwei, “A lady that will take care of you, feed you, cook for you, and tuck you in bed!”
Gu Tingwei chirped, “I got it. It’s Housekeeper Zhang!”
Yu Jiaojiao replied, “A wife is different from a housekeeper! Your wife would belong to you alone. Once Housekeeper Zhang resigns from our family, she can still work as a nanny for someone else.”
Gu Tingwei nodded his head, partially understanding what his mother was saying. “What’ll happen if I can’t marry a wife?”
Yu Jiaojiao was cornered by this question!
She had only wanted to scare Gu Tingwei. How could her son be unable to get a wife?
When she saw that Gu Tingwei was waiting for an answer, Yu Jiaojiao awkwardly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye before catching sight of a crystal mermaid ornament on the table.
“If you can’t find a wife, you’ll have to marry a mermaid!”
“Mermaid??”
Yu Jiaojiao tried to hold back her laughter. “Mermaids live in the deep sea. An ordinary person will never be able to see one in their lifetime! Weiwei will become a bachelor!”
The then three-year-old Gu Tingwei furrowed his little brows. He spoke to Yu Jiaojiao in all seriousness, “Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll find a mermaid! I’m heading to the laboratory now—”
In the end, Yu Jiaojiao had been unable to stop Gi Tingwei from visiting the laboratory.
But she hadn’t expected that a one-time joke would end up becoming Gu Tingwei’s obsession.
Yu Jiaojiao propped her forehead up with one hand. “Weiwei, we’ll talk about the mermaid issue another day. Mommy wants to discuss something with you. Can you accompany mommy on a parent-and-child variety show?”
Gu Tingwei’s eyes didn’t stray. “No, I can’t.”
After being rejected by her biological son so heartlessly, Yu Jiaojiao pressed her hand against her chest and tried again. “Many other adorable children are going to be on the show. Weiwei, don’t you want to meet a few new friends?”
Gu Tingwei replied indifferently, “Don’t want!”
In the eyes of Gu Tingwei, anyone who celebrated Children’s Day on the first of June was childish, regardless of whether they were older or younger than him.
Yu Jiaojiao, “…”
Since his childhood days, Gu Tingwei had never had a single friend. He didn’t get along with his cousins either. When those little children saw him, they’d keep their distance and even call him a freak behind his back!
In her heart, Yu Jiaojiao shouted with joy that her child wasn’t some sort of freak after all!
“Weiwei, can you treat this as doing a favor for Mommy?”
Gu Tingwei never treated Yu Jiaojiao with honor. “No thanks.”
Yu Jiaojiao covered her mouth sadly. Her droopy eyes instantly transformed into weepy puppy eyes. She looked cute and pitiful.
Even though Gu Tingwei saw this out of the corner of his eye, he still remained completely indifferent.

“Mom, it’s late. I’ll be sleeping now!” Gu Tingwei put his book down. “You mentioned it before. Little children who don’t get good sleep suffer from stunted growth!”
Yu Jiaojiao, “…”
A soft approach wasn’t working!
Yu Jiaojiao bit her lips. She decided to be a little nastier!
