Chapter 167 - 167 You're Back

167 You’re Back

If he was at the dining table at home now, his wife would definitely praise Old Zhang’s cooking skills continuously. She would always be particularly happy when she ate good food.

Her mouth was also very small. Every time, she would overestimate the capacity of her mouth, and could only eat one-third of a full spoonful.

Thinking of his wife, Yao Zizhou suddenly felt that the food in front of him was tasteless. After a while, Yao Zizhou came back to his senses. He could not be so useless, he had to treat that heartless woman coldly, as if he was dealing with an opponent.

Even though he thought this, Yao Zizhou kept looking at the time. Time passed slowly, and finally, it was nine o’clock. Yao Zizhou could not sit still any longer and left the company building.

He sat in the car and thought to himself, ‘Once I get home, I’ve got to persevere. I can’t be soft-hearted just because of a few sugar-coated bullets from her.’

Ming Liuyi did not expect that Yao Zizhou had still not returned even after she had finished eating and taking a bath.

Ever since she knew that she truly loved Yao Zizhou, Ming Liuyi always thought of him. She stood by the window, but she could not see his figure, so she could only lie on the bed in disappointment.

After a long time, Ming Liuyi heard the sound of a car returning. She immediately jumped up from the bed and quickly walked to the window. Seeing that it was Yao zihou’s car, her mood immediately became better.

Yao Zizhou got off the car and looked up, immediately seeing his wife’s figure by the window. Although her expression was not discernible, it was obvious that the little fox had been waiting for a long time.

Yao Zizhou was still wheelchair-bound and had to be pushed into the villa. His legs had not fully recovered yet, so he still could not walk on his own.

Yao Zizhou had just entered the door when he saw Ming Liuyi running down the stairs in her pajamas without any slippers on. Ming Liuyi wanted to give Yao Zizhou a hug, but when she actually saw him, she did not dare.

“You’re back,” Ming Liuyi said softly.

Yao Zizhou suppressed his emotions and lowered his eyes, not looking at her. Then, he said, “Yeah.”

Yao Zizhou was dressed in his suit. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his figure was perfectly proportioned. He had deep-set facial features and a handsome face. His expression was a little cold, and he had the unique temperament of a superior.

Ming Liuyi praised from the bottom of her heart, “You’re really handsome today.”

Yao Zizhou then looked at Ming Liuyi, and he said indifferently, “Are you using me to practice again? You ran out here without wearing your indoor slippers.”

Ming Liuyi said in a low voice, “I saw you come back, so I got a little anxious.”

Yao Zizhou did not directly respond to Ming Liuyi. He said, “Xiao Fan, go and fetch my wife’s slippers. What’s with her bare feet?”

Ming Liuyi had never been spoken to like this by Yao Zizhou before. She bit her lip and ran back upstairs before Xiao Fan could bring her slippers down.

Yao Zizhou heaved a sigh of relief, he almost caved just now! Seeing his wife come down barefooted, Yao Zizhou wanted to pick her up. Fortunately, he had strong willpower.

Xiao Fan looked at her master and his wife and felt that something was a little off. Zhao Qiang had told her to make herself scarce, but the master had called, so she had no choice but to come out and do as told.

‘As expected, the relationship between Madam and Master is really strange. Master had always been very gentle to Madam. He had never treated her like this before…’

Yao Zizhou glanced at Xiao Fan, who immediately came out of her daze. She stuttered a little, but immediately understood his signal.

“Master, you’re back,” Xiao Fan immediately said. “Madam has already had her dinner and washed up. She’s ready to go to bed.”

Yao Zizhou nodded.

Xiao Fan continued, “But because you weren’t here today. Madam didn’t seem to have much of an appetite. She ate very little. Master, do you want to eat with Madam?”

Hearing this, Yao Zizhou knew that he was not the only one who was not in the mood to eat. If Yao Zizhou was a giant dog, he would be perking his ears and wagging his tail happily. He wheeled himself to the elevator.

Ming Liuyi had finished washing her feet. She lay on the bed and wrapped herself in the blanket.

She had been so eager for Yao Zizhou to return home, and this was the result? Ming Liuyi’s heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.

Yao Zizhou entered the bedroom and said, “I’m a little… Um… Do you want to have supper with me?”

Ming Liuyi hesitated on whether to agree or not. Although she had already given him a way out, Yao Zizhou had still been a bit mean just now.

After thinking for a moment, Ming Liuyi could not help but say, “Alright.”

Yao Zizhou took off his suit and changed into a comfortable set of pajamas before the two of them went downstairs.
