"What the hell did you do to my bedroom?" Song Jingren asked her. He looked at the big heart made of rose petals on the bed and scoffed at his heart.
After breaking his heart into tiny-tiny pieces, she had the audacity to make these flower hearts?
"You mean our bedroom, "Zuni corrected.
"I'm not sharing my bedroom with anyone, "Song Jingren told her.
"Hubby, I'm not anyone but your wife. I will be together with you in richness and poorness, in health or sickness till death do us part, "Zuni kindly reminded him.
"I would rather you take me straight till death do us part, "Song Jingren sarcastically commented. "I would rather choose death than share a bed with you."
"Hubby, "Zuni said in a sad voice. "This was a big blow to my womanly ego."
Until this day, Song Jingren wondered what on earth he was thinking when he courted this woman. She was a certified freak. Shouldn't she protect her and walk away? After all, leaving and running away were the things she was proficient in.
"Zuni, I will have Special Assistant Lu prepare a villa for you. You can move there for as long as we are married, "Song Jingren said in a calm voice. He understood one thing. If he said callous words to her or behaved impolitely, the one to suffer would be him. Thus, it was better to send her away from him than hurting each other.
"What about you?" Zuni asked her. "Where would you live?"
"I would live in my penthouse, "Song Jingren said. "I'm used to this place."
"I'm not living anywhere my husband is not living, "Zuni stubbornly said.
Song Jingren sighed. "Look, I understand we have a past. I have moved on and so have you. Let's not say hurtful words to each other like other exes. To me, you are nothing more than an ex I had in the past."
"You are talking as if you have another ex than me, " Zuni scoffed. "Also, who said I have moved on?"
"I do have an ex other than you, "Song Jingren said, taunting her. "Not just one, several."
Zuni took a deep breath. Another deep breath. And then once more. After that, a smile played on her lips. She walked around him, her gaze not wavering from his face even for a moment.
"Long Reine, let's live peacefully for the next couple of months, "Song Jingren said.
This was his first mistake.
Calling her Long Reine.
The image of a lively and mischievous woman disappeared from her face as soon as he called her by that name and the next moment, Song Jingren felt as if someone else had possessed her body. Someone who he never met.
"Since you want to live peacefully, I will show you what peace in Long Reine's world means!" Zuni said in a tone he didn't understand.
When Zuni's grandfather named him Reine in honour of his late wife, Tang Reine, everyone agreed with the name but they decided not to call her Reine but Zuni at home.
As her mom was afraid that by calling her Reine, she might inherit her grandmother's nasty temper and personality. Thus, everyone calls her Zuni.
Well, jokes on her mom.
"Where are you going?" Song Jingren said as he saw her leaving the room.
She had to leave before Long Reine beat the hell outta him.
"Dammit, look at me!" Song Jingren said from behind.
Zuni turned to look at him as she said, "You don't want to share the bedroom with me. I don't want to leave the penthouse. So, we will come to the middle ground." She put a cushion on the couch and switched off the lights. "Good night, husband."
Song Jingren who was left speechless by the turn of the event looked at her figure curled up on the couch and clenched his fists. 'Don't fall for her tricks.'A voice in his head said to him.
When Song Jingren left the living room and closed the door with a loud bang, Zuni moved to look at the closed door.
[I miss my family.]
This was the thought that came to her head before she fell asleep on the couch.
