Zhuo Yuqing didn’t really want to bite Bai Chengxi painfully, but she couldn’t control her strength when he pushed her too hard just now. Seeing the clear bite marks on his arm, she began to regret and feel heartache.
But she also didn’t want to concede in front of him. Although she was at fault in this matter, she had explained herself and yet, he still refused to believe her. Naturally, she was infuriated and angry – it was human nature.
Zhuo Yuqing steeled her heart to look away, and snorted forcefully, "Let go, or I will bite you again."
This snort was very feeble; being a good-tempered person, even her anger ca without heat.
"I’m not buying it." Zhuo Yuqing was determined to ignore him this ti.
"I almost got smashed from the second floor just now." Bai Chengxi insisted, both softly and sternly, "If I had actually fallen, you would be a murderer."
"Better if you did fall." Zhuo Yuqing remained firm, struggling hard a few more tis, "Let go, I want to sleep."
Zhuo Yuqing was almost asleep when she heard him apologizing in a low voice. She opened her eyes, a layer of water misting over them, suddenly feeling very wronged, and her lips pursed as she was about to cry.
Her bullied look made Bai Chengxi’s heart ache terribly, so he quickly hugged her and soothed her: "Don’t cry, it’s my fault. You can hit , bite , punish however you like."
Zhuo Yuqing sniffled, her tears brimming as she looked at him: "What did you do wrong?"
Bai Chengxi thought hard: "My mistake was not beating up that Xi Yang."
Zhuo Yuqing: "..."
She swung her fist and struck his chest: "Bai Chengxi."
Bai Chengxi let her hit him a couple of tis, then chuckled: "You smiled, if you smiled, it ans you are not mad anymore."
Only then did Zhuo Yuqing realize her lips were curving up at the corners, seemingly really smiling, the heaviness in her heart swept away as if by autumn winds leaving a clean slate.
"You shouldn’t get jealous rashly from now on. The senior had helped before....."
"What senior, doesn’t he have a na?" Bai Chengxi interrupted her sowhat nastily, his tone dissatisfied: "Call him by his na."
Zhuo Yuqing rolled her eyes, what kind of logic was this, calling him ’senior’ wasn’t okay?
"Fine, Xi Yang had helped before, and moreover, he already has soone he likes. I always rember that I am a married woman, and I will never have any improper relations with other n."
"Glad you understand." Bai Chengxi hugged her tight, as if he held a beloved treasure, fearing that letting go would make her fly away. His jealousy stemd from fear, after experiencing a failed relationship, he beca more anxious about losses. He treasured his relationship with Zhuo Yuqing, and that’s why he was more afraid of losing it. "From now on, you need to notify first before having a al with any other man. If I have ti, I’ll join you; if I don’t,
How could he let his exceedingly beautiful wife, whom everyone adores, be alone with other n, and that Xi Yang definitely had no good intentions, fearing his beloved might just be this naive girl, even if she was unaware.
"What ti do we go back to the old house tomorrow?" Zhuo Yuqing didn’t want to argue with this petty man. She hadn’t forgotten that tomorrow was Lantern Festival. Although it was regrettable she couldn’t go ho to be with her parents, being married into the Bai Family ant prioritizing her husband’s family, as her mother had taught her.
"You just sleep peacefully, I’ll wake you when it’s ti."
"Bai Chengxi, I don’t want to go jogging tomorrow morning."
"Okay." He agreed surprisingly promptly, "No jogging, just sleep."
It’s said that argunts are the seasoning of marriage; small argunts warm the heart, while big argunts harm the body.
Arguing isn’t scary, what’s scary is a man who refuses to proactively apologize in front of you after a fight, whether he is right or wrong. In front of his wife, he is always wrong. A man’s dignity should only be displayed outside, not within his wife’s world.
Zhuo Yuqing was woken up by Bai Chengxi while she was still dreaming. As soon as she opened her eyes, the clothes and shoes she was supposed to wear today were already placed by the bed. Bai Chengxi was standing in front of the mirror, tying his tie.
Zhuo Yuqing looked outside, it was still dark. "I don’t want to get up so early. It only takes half an hour to drive back ho," she said.
"Honey, get up." Bai Chengxi was already dressed elegantly, without any signs of morning laziness, full of vitality, chic, and handso.
"Hurry up and wash up, we’ll depart after breakfast."
"Bai Chengxi, did you not sleep last night?" Zhuo Yuqing’s eyes were half-open.
After Zhuo Yuqing got ready, the two had a quick breakfast and got into Bai Chengxi’s car. Zhuo Yuqing, still looking half asleep, couldn’t muster up her spirits until she noticed they were taking a completely wrong route, almost opposite to the direction of the Bai Family’s houses. She couldn’t help but rub her eyes and alerted him, "Did you take a wrong turn? This isn’t the way ho."
Bai Chengxi gave her a mysterious smile: "I’ll give you so ti to catch up on sleep later."
Zhuo Yuqing was completely baffled, not understanding what he was up to until they reached Aus City Airport. Zhuo Yuqing still looked confused, "Where are we going?"
"Yuqing." From a distance, an old lady in a bright red cloak was waving at her. Behind the old lady stood Bai Chengxi’s parents, all holding suitcases, looking like they were ready for a long journey.
Zhuo Yuqing was stunned for a mont but quickly caught on, hurriedly coming over and greeting, "Grandma, are we going on a trip to celebrate the Lantern Festival? Which city are we going to?"
"To City A," the old lady said with a big smile: "To your hotown."
Zhuo Yuqing faintly felt sothing was amiss, noticing various gift bags placed next to Bai Chengxi’s parents. Who would bring so many gift bags on a trip?
The old lady did not hide it, but took Zhuo Yuqing’s hand and said, "Yuqing, you’ve been married for so long, and we haven’t yet paid a visit to your parents. It wouldn’t be right both emotionally and logically, so, Chengxi and we discussed briefly and decided to visit your parents during the Lantern Festival."
Zhuo Yuqing instantly felt a bit ashad; only Qiao San knew about their marriage at ho, and Zhuo Yao was still in the dark. If Grandma and the others really went like this, Zhuo Yao would definitely be furious, and it might backfire. However, since everyone was already at the airport, Zhuo Yuqing couldn’t possibly ask them to go back.
She looked at Bai Chengxi, about to signal him with her eyes, but the old lady said, "Yuqing, don’t worry. I know you haven’t told your family about your marriage yet."
Zhuo Yuqing paused, looking confusedly at the old lady and then at Bai Chengxi’s parents, who all kindly nodded and smiled at her as if they had known all along.
The old lady said, "You married Chengxi without discussing it with your family first, which shows respect for our Bai Family. Therefore, we can’t neglect our manners. Once we reach A City, we will visit them under the pretense of asking for your hand in marriage, and won’t reveal that you’re already married."
Zhuo Yuqing hadn’t expected the Bai Family to be so understanding, and she felt sowhat abashed. It was her fault, yet everyone else had to help her bear the consequences.
Zhuo Yuqing couldn’t help but hug the old lady, "Grandma, I’m sorry."
"Silly girl, our Bai Family is blessed to have you as a granddaughter-in-law. Don’t say sorry, Grandma doesn’t like hearing that."
At that mont, the assistant responsible for changing the plane tickets ca over with a stack of tickets, and Bai Chengxi took the tickets and told everyone, "Let’s go."
The family walked toward the security checkpoint robustly, and even once on the plane, Zhuo Yuqing still felt like she was dreaming. What was supposed to be a trip to the Bai Family for the Lantern Festival had suddenly beco a trip to her own ho. Although she was a bit nervous, she was more joyful. She believed that Bai Chengxi had organized this because he had noticed her slight hosickness during the New Year. A girl who had never left ho for over twenty years suddenly had to spend every reunion day at her husband’s ho, and it’s understandable how low her spirits could be.
"Silly." Zhuo Yuqing glanced at him sideways, "I’m ignoring you now, I need to catch up on so sleep."
No wonder he ntioned giving her ti to catch up on sleep later, he had planned it all along,
