During the entire ride from the hospital to home, Cheng Wei and Xiao Mei remained silent. The former was clearly upset because of Zhang Yulan's mother's action and Xiao Mei was trying to find some way through which she could calm him down.
However, before she could have found a solution they were already back at home, and the door of the car was parted for her to climb down.
Xiao Mei grumbled in her heart. It wasn't just Cheng Wei who felt nervous around her, some of the time, she also didn't know what to say to him.
They walked together toward the mansion slowly.
Just as she entered the house, Xiao Mei turned to look at him before asking, "Do you have work today?"
Although he didn't expect her to ask, his answer came out fluently, "Nothing much. Is there something you want to do?"
He has become a little accustomed to this new side of Xiao Mei who wants to change things between us. And right now when she asked whether he had worked, Cheng Wei guessed she must have something in her mind, that's why he asked.
(AN:- He is analyzing his wife's behavioural pattern, fr.)
Xiao Mei remained silent until she was exchanging her shoes, before she uttered, "We have to go and buy gifts for your parents. Their anniversary is the day after tomorrow right?"
Xiao Mei remembered the day since she had taken note of it and put a reminder on her alarm so she wouldn't forget about buying gifts. And since Cheng Wei seemed to have time today, she decided why to go shopping.
Cheng Wei frowned, "We don't have to go. I know you must be stressed about your friend so you don't need to force yourself."
"I indeed am worried for Yuyu but going there just for an hour or two would make them happy. After all, this is the first major celebration after our wedding right?"
Cheng Wei couldn't help but inwardly feel that she was pushing herself here. He was content with the fact that she held his parents in such high regard, but,
"Xiao Mei..." She was startled when he held her arm and made her look at him. She slowly lifted her round eyes to look into his sharp ones—which currently were filled with warmth—as she heard him, "You thought about visiting them is hefty enough. For now, just take care of your friend—we will go and meet my parents after some days."
She wanted to protest, but looking into those eyes and the fact that he touched her on his own initiative made her yield, "Fine...but once Yuyu gets better, you have to take me to meet my in-laws."
The rare smile on his lips, somehow made her heart beat a little faster as he softly said, "Promise."

Xiao Mei returned to her room to take a bath. In the morning, she literally ran to the hospital with a bedhead. She was just so shocked by the news that she couldn't even care about her clothes and roamed the world in pyjamas.
'Haah...never thought I would be worrying about my looks...' Not only was Xiao Mei a woman now, but she was also the wife of a big boss. She has to maintain her looks or her husband would get laughed at.
'Husband...' While sitting in the bath, Xiao Mei couldn't help but chuckle. It felt strange that calling him husband didn't feel strange at all.
Not to talk about the changes Cheng Wei has begun to show. It seems her continuous assault has started to work and now, he might also reciprocate her advances
'But wait...if he really does come for me...' Unintentionally, Xiao Mei suddenly had a thought that what if, in this bathroom, Cheng Wei walked in while undoing his shirt buttons and his pants loosely hanging—showing his waistline.
*Puff*
Steam blew over her head as she immediately submerged inside the water to negate such a dangerous thought.
Cheng Wei is so devilishly handsome that forget about women, men as well, would blush if he flirts with them. Irresistible charm he possesses.
Once she was done bathing, she got out and wore an A-line dress of floral pattern that reached her upper thighs. It was dark blue in colour and had thin shoulder straps.
'Isn't this a little provocative?' While looking at herself in the mirror, Xiao Mei leaned down a little and found her babies to be hanging out a little more than what could be regarded as healthy.
She decided to change her clothes when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"It's me." Hearing Cheng Wei's voice, Xiao Mei went to open the door and found him standing there in formal attire.
Cheng Wei was about to say something when suddenly his eyes went to the slight cleavage her dress was offering. And since Xiao Mei was checking herself out just now, her dress was offering a little too much exposure.
Cheng Wei's eyes darkened as he shifted his gaze to his phone and asked her, "Are you going out?"
Xiao Mei noticed his eyes and the way he stole his gaze was quite gentlemanly...however, who was Xiao Mei? His wife. Surely she could tease him a little.
"I intend to go out...is there any problem?" She asked, even though Xiao Mei never intended to wear this dress to go out.
If her memories serve right, this dress was something Xiao Mei received as a gift from Zhang Yulan just before her marriage. And considering that girl's mischievous nature, no wonder this dress made Xiao Mei appear so sexy.
Leaning on the door she looked at Cheng Wei with an upturned gaze.
Cheng Wei was forced to look back at her...especially those red full lips that she kept slightly parted subconsciously.
Her body wash blended with her natural fragrance was everything the man could currently inhale and along with her current appearance, Cheng Wei found his body turning hot.
Clenching his phone he turned away, however, Xiao Mei was fast as she held his arm and asked, "I can go right?"
The man's Adam's apple moved before he turned towards her and suddenly took out his blazer before draping it over Xiao Mei carefully.
Xiao Mei was stunned as she found herself covered by his warmth.
Cheng Wei looked at her with a very thin smile before he uttered, "Better."
And with that, the man turned and walked away; leaving a stunned Xiao Mei behind.
This man...
