Yu Huiyin's face turned crimson red when she heard the accusation of Xie Jingyu. She was not entirely believing his words, but considering that she had found herself sprawled all over his body like that the moment she woke up, even jumping into the yellow river could not clear her name.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Xie Jingyu's heart fluttered. He wanted to invade her heart slowly, and such actions seemed to be fitting.
"Don't worry, I won't hold it against you," he said smilingly. "We are married after all; it is natural to sleep close to one another. Now go get ready, and we will have our breakfast before we go out and cash in the check."
Yu Huiyin knew that Xie Jingyu was giving her a way out of the embarrassing situation, and she grasped it with eagerness.
She nodded her head with gratitude visible in her eyes as she moved to the walk-in closet and found some clothes. Afterward, she headed to the ensuite bathroom, where she quickly stripped off the nightgown before entering the shower and washing herself.
The bathroom was large, much larger than the bathroom in her old home, and she was feeling so happy that the water was scorching hot, to the point that her skin turned red.
In the old home, although they had warm water, they had to heat it in a small hot water heater, and thus they could never take long baths. Also, the water would suddenly turn cold throughout their bath if there was no warm water left in the heater.
Now that she could wash as she wished, it took a longer time than she had planned. She just enjoyed the piping hot water to flow over her body, and her taut and nervous muscles relaxed.
While she was washing, she made sure that no water reached the wound on her shoulder.
After her bath, she went to rebandage her shoulder. She had picked a long-sleeved white shirt, to cover her wound and a pair of washed-out jeans.
The clothes made her seem modern and chic; she looked elegant and refined. Although the clothes were simple, she seemed very sophisticated.
She planned on matching it with a pair of white stilettos, to bring the most elegance out in her appearance.
She had already planned what to tell her brother and grandfather when she returned to the small apartment. But first, she had to prepare a new home for them.
While Yu Huiyin was washing in the ensuite bathroom, Xie Jingyu had taken off his clothes and walked to the bathroom down the hall. He was done washing quite a bit earlier than her, but he patiently waited for her to finish her bath and walk out.
As she left the bathroom, a handsome Xie Jingyu was waiting for her outside, and a smile flitted across her lips. Deep inside, she still felt a bit annoyed with the fact that she had been forced into the marriage, but after considering her situation, she was not too much against it.
She was getting the best of both worlds. She was getting rich, but at the same time, she also had a backer that could make her plans work smoother.
Not only this, but she was also able to feel safe because she understood that Xie Jingyu would not harm her. As long as she was cooperating with him, she would be able to move untouched in the capital, and she could personally have her vengeance against her father, not needing to wait for her little brother to do it for her.
Together, Yu Huiyin and Xie Jingyu walked down the hall towards the designated dining room. Here, the maids and servants quickly served the dishes for their breakfast, and Yu Huiyin's eyes shone with excitement when she saw the plentiful amount of dishes and the delicious scent that wafted out of it.
The servants were horrified. Whenever they saw Xie Jingyu being so meek like a little lamb, and friendly like the boy next door, their hearts shivered in fear.
To be in the house of Xie Jingyu, one had to have his trust. To have his trust, one needed martial arts, background, and loyalty. This also meant that they knew of the background and the shady deals that Xie Jingyu dealt with, so they knew he was by no means a gentle and innocent white rabbit as he was pretending to be right now.
He was a dangerous and ruthless demon. He did not care for human life, and he was someone who could kill without a change in expression.
But now he was smiling sweetly, his eyes were gentle, his whole demeanor was screaming how friendly he was, and their madam believed him wholeheartedly.
While Yu Huiyin was eating, she did not notice anything out of the ordinary with the servants, but during the meal, Xie Jingyu did everything in his power to pamper her, spoil her, and help her pick out dishes. He was so considerate that internally, Yu Huiyin felt that she had found the best work partner ever.
It was simply a disaster watching it. Assistant Song came into the dining room at this moment, his eyes glancing at the many servants' horrified expressions, and he looked at his Boss, knowing full well that this side to Xie Jingyu was just too scary for those who knew of his real personality.
"Boss, Madam, the car is prepared for us to head towards the bank." Assistant Song then ruminated through his briefcase and took out a new smartphone from within.
"Madam, the Boss noticed that you had no phone and asked me to find one for you. This is the newest model of the best brand within the world. With this, you will be able to install the various apps needed for online banking and mobile payment. It will make it much safer for you to do transactions in the future."
