Chapter 22 - Li house

Now we are at the Li house . As far as I know , the Lis are picky about their daughter-in-law , but I hope they won't tell us to divorce . I keep praying so nervous that I start sweating hard .

Seeing my nervousness , Hugo chuckled saying , " Hey don't be nervous . It's not like they're going to eat you and don't worry I won't divorce even if it means leaving the Li group . "

" Thank you Hugo ! But don't forget that you must act cold ! Don't laugh and always stay cold and indifferent ! I know it's hard , but imagine that they tried to kill you and your parents or anything like that ! Just imagine any story to make yourself hate them and not fake you're coldness ! " I remind him and suggest somethings to make it simpler for him .

" Ok ... I will try . " Hugo hesitates before taking a deep breath .

" Don't worry , you can do it . I will try to help you if your act is starting to wear off . " I reassure him holding his hand and also taking a deep breath .

" Funny . We both are nervous . And what's more funny is that I am more nervous , still I am reassuring him . Heh ! " I thought laughing inside .

Knocking at the door , the door suddenly begins to open revealing a butler .

" Welcome Young Master . " the butler welcomed Hugo while bowing , then locked at me curiously and asked , " May I know who this young lady is ? "

" She is my wife . " Hugo answered the butler while holding my hand and leading me inside .

" W-wife !?!! " the butler shouted a little and then when he realized that he is crossing the line , he regained his composure and smiled ant me saying , " Welcome Young Mistress . "

" Thank you . " I replied following Hugo inside .

Entering the house , I felt the butler's glare at me from behind .

" Sh*t ! If this is how the butler reacts when he sees me , then what is his family going to do ?!!? God , please help me ! " I thought begging God for help .

" Emma , are you okay ? " Hugo asked stopping and turning to look at me .

" Yeah , I am fine . " I answered with a small smile .

" Although he isn't smiling or showing any signs on his face , I can tell from his eyes that he is concerned about me . " I thought smiling in my head .

" Okay then I trust you ! " Hugo said squeezing my hand and continuing his walk inside .

" I feel so calm when I am with him . Looking at his handsome face , I still can't believe I dated him in high school and now is married to him . But ... I feel like I want to stay with him , away from everyone . Could I have .... No ! Just because you like staying with him , that doesn't mean that you fell for him . Then .... let's wait until we go home and ... test it ! " I thought to myself squeezing his hand back . Although I am completely excited over my ' test ' , I manage to stay calm .

Entering the living room , I saw some people waiting for us . His grandfather , his uncle and his wife , his cousins ( Jason and Wendy ) and Sarah .

" Good evening , everyone . " Hugo greeted everyone in a cold tone .

" Good acting ! " I thought praising Hugo .

" Good evening , Hugo . " his grandfather answers him and then shifts his attention to me and asked , " And who is this going lady ? "

" She is my wife , Emma Mu . " Hugo answered without hesitation .

" Wife !?! " everyone in the room ( except Sarah ) gasped and was at a loss of words .

Will they accept me or not ?
