“What’s there to dig?” Ye Erruo glared at him.
“Alright now, let me go and take a look.”
Mo Jiangye refused to let her go. “Where are you going? It’s raining heavily out there. Be a good girl and stay at home. Don’t go anywhere.”
“…”
“Come on, be a good girl and listen to me.” His gentle words contained a tinge of resignation as he took the phone in his hand and put it aside.
“Come and eat.” He picked up the bowl on the table and started to feed her.
Xu Xu, who was sitting beside them, quickly pulled his chair far away from them. He got goosebumps just by looking at them.
“Okay.”
Wolf whistles could be heard around the table.
The woman twitched her lips in embarrassment and hurriedly gulped down the spoonful of soup he was feeding her. “I’ll help myself.”
Mo Jiangye gazed momentarily at the spoon before giving it back to her reluctantly. “You have to drink more soup. Your throat is getting hoarse.”
By the time she recomposed herself, her face had flushed red with embarrassment. That was when she kicked him with her foot under the table.
“You are the one who has gone hoarse from shouting. Go back to your food.”
“Is something wrong with sister-in-law’s voice? Why can’t I tell?”
“I think she’s a little hoarse.”
She felt so awkward that she wished there was a hole in the floor for her to crawl into! Can this man display due decorum, please?
Lunch lasted more than two hours. When the servant came to clear the table, it was still pouring outside.
“Sister-in-law, we have some urgent business to attend to so we’ll take our leave now. We’ll come back for a visit in a few days.”
“Yup, we have to go, sister-in-law.”
“We hope you and Chief will have a little chief by the time we are back.”
LIttle chief… Ye Erruo forced a smile and hummed in acknowledgment. “Alright… Alright…”
“Thank you for your warm reception, sister-in-law. We have to go now.”
The lot of them jostled along out of the door.
“Xu Xu, you finally had your lunch, so why are you lingering behind?” Xiao Deng cried out to his buddy.
“Little sister-in-law, you promised to make dumplings for me, Wang Yiyang, and Zheng Yi. I hope you haven’t forgotten your promise. The three of us will come here again on our own without that bunch of shameless boys. Can you make dumplings for us then?”
She chuckled softly. “Yes, I’ll cook dumplings for you three!”
“YES!” Xu Xu let out a cry of elation, turned around, and dashed out.
“The rain hasn’t stopped yet,” she muttered to herself.
“This kind of rain is nothing to them.” The man sighed to himself. Those chaps had wanted to stay behind just to have a meal with them.
Ye Erruo let out a yawn.
Upon looking at his wristwatch, the man told her, “It’s about time for an afternoon nap.”
He took her hand and led her back to the bedroom to sleep!
“But I just got up. Besides, we just had our meal, didn’t we?”
On the balcony inside the bedroom, Mo Jiangye busied himself on the laptop while she paced up and down the area, using this chance to have a post-meal stroll. She looked away from the balcony to admire the distant scenery. There were a garden and an orchard across from where they were. Many flowers and trees in the garden had withered amid the pouring rain. Behind the orchard was a big piece of empty grassland, and mountains could be seen beyond that.
Every morning when she opened the balcony door, she could look across the sea of green. The greenery was still visible even in late autumn.
“Young Master, there’s a box outside the door. An umbrella was shielding the box when we went out to have a look. We decided to bring it in, as the box looked too exquisite to ignore.” Two servants brought in a big box carefully.
There were two layers to the box. The outer layer was covered with crystals that surrounded a crimson rose and a black box.
“What is it? Let’s open it and take a look.” Ye Erruo was intrigued.
The servants could easily unlock the small crystal lock holding the lid shut. As they tore open the second layer of black wrapper, a red furball dashed headlong at Ye Erruo…
