“Nothing.” Xia Nuannuan felt a deep sadness in her heart. “I- I miss you.”
“Silly girl. What’s there to miss? We’ll see you again in three days. Is there anything else? If not, I’ll hang up.”
“That’s all.”
“Okay, remember the dowry. That money is our family’s savings.”
Xia Nuannuan nodded.
After hanging up, she sat there feeling a little lost as she looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. Her gaze finally fell on Shen Zihao, who was lying on the bed.
He had been born a pampered young master and didn’t really know how to care for others.
But he took adequate care of her.
Perhaps she was just feeling ill because this was a new environment and she was not used to it. It had to be that.
She took a deep breath at this point.
–
The skies gradually darkened and Shen Zihao finally woke up.
After the sleep, his head was still throbbing a little.
Seeing that he was finally awake, she sighed in relief.
Shen Zihao asked, “What time is it?”
“Six.” She took a step towards him and asked, “How are you feeling?”
Massaging his head, Shen Zihao sat up and said, “It’s late. Have you eaten?”
Xia Nuannuan replied, “Not yet.”
He paused. “Aren’t you hungry?”
She quickly said, “No, not hungry.”
But just as she said this, her stomach gave a loud rumble.
Shen Zihao: …
He got up and said, “This is our home now. Whenever you’re hungry, you should say so.”
She looked up at him and wanted to say something, but no words came.
This was his home, but not hers.
Still, she smiled and nodded gently.
The couple made their way downstairs. Mei Feng was in the living room waiting for them. When she saw them ing downstairs, she called out, “Dinner is ready!”
Shen Xiu walked out of the study and made his way down as well.
When Xia Nuannuan saw him, she immediately greeted him, “Dad.”
Shen Xiu frowned and icily grunted an acknowledgment. Then he chided her, “In future, please seek permission with whatever you do. After you came down from the stage earlier, you bowed to that woman. Did you seek my agreement about that?”
Shen Zihao frowned when he heard this and said, “That was my decision!”
Shen Xiu immediately replied coldly, “Your decision? I don’t think you would have made such a decision before you got married.”
Shen Xiu looked at Xia Nuannuan and was about to say more, when she hung her head and said, teary-eyed, “Dad, I know it’s my fault.”
With that, he shut up.
He would have said more, but looking at Xia Nuannuan with her head lowered and reddened eyes, it was difficult for anyone to be tough on her.
No matter what, she was a gentle girl and anyone would feel like a criminal raising their voice at her.
In the end, all he said was, “Don’t do that again!”
Then he walked past her and headed for the dining room.
When Mei Feng saw this, her eyes flashed sharply.
The four of them were silent over dinner.
After the meal, Xia Nuannuan looked at Mei Feng, waiting for her to bring up the matter of the 9.99 million.
But Mei Feng seemed to have forgotten all about it and did not say a word about this.
At 9 p.m., Shen Xiu stood up and said, “Okay, we should all go and rest.”
Seeing that her in-laws were about to head upstairs, she was pelled to speak up, “Dad, Aunty Mei!”
