01. “Oh Yah. How can I forget?” Cunxi mocked himself. “There’s a wife at home…waiting for me.” He shook off her hands and climbed up the stairs unsteadily.
02. After unbuttoning his shirt, Xinyi saw Cunxi’s tanned and very manly chest. Suddenly, her heart ran and she immediately turned away from the sight.
03. “Anna! I’m sorry…I didn’t do it on purpose…Its Granny who forced me to marry her…I din want to betray you but…She’s pregnant with my child…I can’t leave her in the lurch. I’m sorry…I’m sorry…” He grabbed Xinyi’s hands and kept apologizing.
04. Cunxi was very curious about the considerate person who had prepare such a glass of fruit juice for him. And at this time, he caught sight of a women sleeping on the sofa and slipped down from bed for a closer look.
05. “I…I didn’t know where I could sleep.” She awkwardly try to explain herself. “I can’t sleep in another room and if Granny knew about it, she will be very unpleased.”
06. “Its morning sickness…” Cunxi was thinking. Though he’s not familiar with the general knowledge of pregnancy, but at least he knows that many pregnant mothers do have morning sickness problems.
“Its morning sickness…” Cunxi was thinking. Though he’s not familiar with the general knowledge of pregnancy, but at least he knows that many pregnant mothers do have morning sickness problems.
Being unwell herself, she still took the effort to take care of me last night when I was drunk. How can such a silly woman exist? What have he done to deserve such care & concern from her? And the fact was he had purposely left her alone for a few days after their marriage. How can he be considered a good husband after all these had happened?
“Don’t worry. I’m fine now.” Assuring Cunxi, Xinyi smiled and walked out of the restroom after surviving the physical uneasiness.
Looking at her pale face, Cunxi felt mad about himself suddenly. Very, very mad…
Cunxi’s anger did not stop right there. It extended to breakfast time later on and it startled all the servants in the house.
It started when Xinyi went down for breakfast and saw a plate of grilled mackerel fish on the breakfast table. She felt the smell of the fish rather strong and requested the servants to get it taken away. However, the servant replied that its young master’s favourite so they can’t remove it.
“If that’s the case, then can I have something sour to consume? Or do you have Pomegranate juice?” Though she was polite towards the servant, the answer was “There’s no Pomegranate juice in house because Young Master & Old Mistress doesn’t like to drink it.”
From the way it looks, Xinyi knew the servants also wouldn’t take the trouble to prepare the juice for her either. Sighing, she understand all these servants personally looked down on her due to the rush of her marriage to Cunxi. Though Granny had left instructions for her to take over the household, but seriously she has no idea where to start from.
“In that case…I’ll skip breakfast then.” She bitterly decided to leave breakfast alone as she could not swallow anything down when she could still feel the nausea inside her stomach.
“You have to eat!” In a split second, Cunxi voice came along. He walked towards the table and stared strictly at the servant. “Didn’t you hear that Young Mistress wants to drink Pomegranate Juice?”
“But… But there isn’t any in the house…”
“Then go buy it!” Cunxi raised his voice at the servant and it gave the rest a fright. “And why is there grilled mackerel fish for breakfast? Didn’t you people realize that there’s a pregnant woman in the house? Change it away and bring some other food here!”
“But Young Master…Mackerel Fish was your favourite!”
“Any food that is causing Young Mistress to feel unwell is not allowed to appear on this table!” Cunxi roared. He is still very angry with the servants taking the opportunity to bully Xinyi. “Listen carefully. I won’t give anyone a 2nd chance to repeat the same mistake again so you people better bear this in mind.”
“Yes, Young Master.” The servants answered hurriedly, immediately removed the grilled mackerel fish and started to get busy preparing Pomegranate juice for Xinyi.
Granny can’t help it but smiled when she saw Cunxi blowing his top at the servants because of Xinyi.
“So… what happened? Who’ve made our Young Master so angry?” Granny purposely threw out the question when she stepped into the dinning room.
Since Granny is here, Cunxi had no choice but to hold back his anger and greeted her. Xinyi also quickly helped to pull out a chair for her to get seated at the table.
Looking at the sulked face of her grandson and the puzzled expression on Xinyi’s face, Granny laughed out loud finally.
“Granny, what are you laughing?” Cunxi frowned and asked.
“I’m laughing at you this little couple. The more I looked at the 2 of you, the more compatible you 2 gets. Cunxi, you’re already a married man. You should know the responsibility of a husband and how to go by fulfilling them. As for Xinyi, you’re the daughter-in-law of our family now so do have more confidence in yourself and don’t always give in. Do you two of you understand what I’m trying to say?”
For a few moments, the 2 young adults got distracted by Granny’s words. After awhile, both Cunxi & Xinyi exchanged eye contact and nodded their head. “Yes, Granny. We understand.
