Fei Mo's beautiful eyes were tender as he took in Yun Yiyi's appearance. Her silky hair draped over her shoulder, and her exquisite face was flushed from shyness. He could see confusion and skepticism in her limpid eyes as though she was suspicious of his words.
On the other hand, Yun Yiyi felt indescribably happy when she saw Fei Mo's tender gaze. She could keenly feel how gentle he was to her at this moment. Fei Mo had always looked stern and rarely smiled. Even when he treated her kindly, his expression had always remained cold. When he was angry, his expression would only grow colder, and his aura would turn heavily oppressive and chilly. It was difficult to imagine such a person was capable of making such a gentle expression.
She shook her head. This was not important. She had to deal with the matter regarding her work first.
"You don't have to do it for me. I'll do it myself," she quickly said.
Fei Mo wondered if she knew how beautiful she looked to him at this moment. After she replied to him, he tightened his hold on her and made a contented noise.
Yun Yiyi's heavy heart seemed to lighten at this moment. Despite still being slightly tired, she felt comfortable and relaxed. Her eyelids felt heavy as she called out softly, "Ice… Ice block..."
"Mm." A cold yet gentle reply rang in her ears.
"You really won't misunderstand me as a vile woman, right?"
Fei Mo was slightly stunned. When he recalled her words from earlier, he kissed the top of her head and gently replied, "No."
How could he misunderstand her as a vile woman? Impossible!
A smile bloomed on Yun Yiyi's face when she heard Fei Mo's response. She was delighted.
Unlike before, the silence between them now was warm and peaceful.
As she was about to drift to sleep, she mumbled drowsily, "I'll be a good wife to you as long you don't misunderstand me as someone who uses underhanded means to get close to you..." This was the biggest reason she tried to maintain a distance from him. She did not want him to misunderstand her.
Soon after she finished speaking, she fell asleep.
Fei Mo's gaze was profound as he looked at Yun Yiyi who was sleeping soundly in his arms. "I won't."
…
When Yun Yiyi woke up, Fei Mo was no longer next to her. She did not get off the bed immediately. As she rested her exhausted body, she recalled what she had said to Fei Mo before she fell asleep.
Initially, she felt really awkward after she had drunkenly slept with Fei Mo. However, she felt happy and at ease when she recalled the gentle look in his eyes and their conversation this morning.
Since he did not want a contract between them, she would try her best to be a good wife. She wondered if this meant their marriage was no longer one of convenience. Did it mean it was no longer a business transaction?
At this moment, Xue'er's words rang in her mind. Coupled with her own thoughts, she suddenly felt optimistic and felt that she should try harder to get along with him. Although she did not know if he was doing this out of obligation or due to his feelings, she had no doubt he was sincere. Regardless, there was no changing the fact that she was legally Fei Mo's wife. What she needed to do now was to familiarize herself with Fei Mo and the Fei family.
Finally, she dragged her tired body into the bathroom. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she saw that he had already drawn a bath for her. There were even flower petals floating in the water. It was clear he had prepared this in consideration of her. She could not help but feel moved.
She soaked in the bathtub comfortably, relishing in the temperature that was just right. The water seemed like it was washing away all her exhaustion at this moment.
…
After her shower, she changed into a comfortable white dress. Her long hair was draped over her shoulder, and her face seemed to be suffused with light. When she looked in the mirror, she discovered the marks that were left by Fei Mo on her body were rather obvious. It was impossible to hide them. In the end, she only shrugged helplessly. She was in the villa anyway. Moreover, they were husband and wife. There was no need to hide.
When she walked out of the room, she discovered a maid standing outside.
It was clear the maid had been instructed to lead Yun Yiyi to the dining room to eat once she had woken up. The maid said respectfully, "Young madam, please head to the dining room to eat…"
"Where... Where's the young master?" Yun Yiyi asked.
"Young master has gone to the company," the maid replied. After a pause, she added, "Young master had specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare a nourishing tonic for you. He has also invited a masseuse over to give you a massage."
Yun Yiyi, who was walking very slowly due to her sore body, was stunned. Once again, warmth filled her heart. He really treated her well.
When Yun Yiyi entered the dining room, Uncle Zhao who was dressed neatly in a black suit was delighted when he saw the marks on Yun Yiyi's neck. He smiled from ear to ear as he greeted her. "Young madam."
"Mm." Yun Yiyi nodded in response.
"I'm the butler of the villa. If there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to speak to me," Uncle Zhao said happily.
Yun Yiyi smiled warmly. So this man was Uncle Zhao. "Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'll let you know if I need anything."
"Young master had specially instructed the kitchen to prepare a nourishing tonic for you. He had also invited the best masseuse in Jiang City to the villa. Young master truly dotes on young madam," Uncle Zhao said. Then, he added meaningfully, "I watched the young master grow up. He has always been busy with work and didn't have any female companion by his side. I've never seen him so considerate even to a member of the family. He's only like that with you."
The corners of Yun Yiyi's mouth twitched. She really wanted to ask Uncle Zhao how he would know if Fei Mo secretly had a female companion? However, she thought better of it and swallowed the question. After all, Uncle Zhao was Fei Mo's trusted butler. It was only natural Uncle Zhao would speak well of Fei Mo. In the end, she only said, "He's really good to me..." She meant every word she said. She could not deny he had treated her very well. He was considerate and kind despite his cold countenance.
"Young master is only outwardly cold, but he's a very kind person. You will see this the more time you spend with him." Uncle Zhao smiled at Yun Yiyi. Then, he turned to look at the maid and said, "Hurry and serve the food. Young madam must be hungry."
...
After Uncle Zhao left the dining room, he walked toward Yun Yiyi and Fei Mo's bedroom. Then, he brought his phone out and dialed a number. "Madam, I have good news for you. It seems like there's hope for you to become a grandmother."
