Jing Yichen noticed that his wife had already changed her clothes. He frowned and asked her about it.
Shangguan Ning hadn’t expected that he would come to the house along with Mu Qing! She was still in shock and said, “I was going to take shower with Anan!”
Jing Yichen’s face sank. His fingers clenched together tightly, making the knuckles crack. It wasn’t that pleasant in the living room anymore.
“What did you say? You were going to take shower with someone else?”
He didn’t get to shower with Shangguan Ning until a long time after they got married and he had to force her for it. What did she want to shower with Zhao Anan for?
Seeing Jing Yichen’s expression change, Shangguan Ning understood that he seemed to have gotten angry. She immediately explained to him, “We were going to take a shower in two different bathrooms, not in the same one! Your mind is drifting!”
Actually, she was not open enough to shower with Zhao Anan. She wasn’t used to exposing her own body in front of others, not even in front of women. It was too embarrassing!
But… had Jing Yichen become a bit too overly jealous? Why did he get jealous because of his own cousin! What a fool!
Hearing what Shangguan Ning explained, Jing Yichen finally looked slightly assured. But he still said with a cold voice, “Come home with me. No spending overnight anywhere else. It is not safe with so many hungry wolves around!”
Zhao Anan got badly annoyed. She didn’t care about the reason as to why Mu Qing was with Jing Yichen at this moment, and shouted angrily, “Hey, Master Jing, what are you talking about? Who are you referring to as ‘hungry wolves’? I am your matchmaker, I got to know Ning first! You didn’t express any gratitude after she married you instead tried to get her away from me.”
She dragged Mu Qing to her side and said loudly, “You, bystander! Say something reasonable. I arranged their blind date using all the possible methods that I could think of. But after he got the beauty, he turns his cold face to his cousin, the matchmaker. When my best friend wants to spend the night with me, he comes to the door late at night and scolds me. Tell me, isn’t he a mean, and cruel man?”
Mu Qing eventually got to know how Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning had met each other – through a blind date.
So Master Jing had agreed to accept a blind date. That itself was surprising.
On top of that, he fell in love with her on the first blind date! It was totally unfair that such a lucky thing, which only occurred one in a million, would happen to him.
But what Zhao Anan was asking him to do was putting Mu Qing into a dilemma.
He would be courting death if he agreed with what Zhao Anan said. But he would offend her if he disagreed with her. She wouldn’t want to talk with him any more in the future when she already hardly spoke to him.
It was more difficult to answer this one than the question – “whom you will rescue first if both your mother and I fell into the water”, because for that question he would have answered –”you, because my mother can swim and doesn’t need to be saved!”
Mu Qing turned to Shangguan Ning with a pitiful expression. Shangguan Ning was the only normal one in the group.
Sure enough, Shangguan Ning didn’t disappoint him. Seeing him trapped in between these two, she dragged Jing Yichen away and left the furious looking Zhao Anan to Mu Qing.
Zhao Anan’s living room was enormous, divided by the pearl drapery so that it formed two semi-isolated spaces.
Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen were on the east side whilst Zhao Anan was on the west side.
“Didn’t I ask you to rest at home and sleep early? Why are you here?”
“Didn’t I ask you to come home and not sleep with others? Why are you still here?”
Jing Yichen felt that his wife had abandoned him. So he was in a bad mood and sounded quite cold, making Shangguan Ning frown.
She stayed silent for a minute and then took him into her arms speaking softly, “Silly man, Anan is a girl, why are you jealous of her? It makes my heart ache…” He didn’t want her to have fun with others.
Jing Yichen took hold of her slender waist as he said bossily, “I don’t want anyone to hug you, only I can hug you! I can’t tolerate it when I don’t have you beside me in bed. I can’t even fall asleep. So, why should Zhao Anan get a good sleep?”
Shangguan Ning didn’t expect that he would mind it so much when she shared the bed with someone else. It melted her heart completely.
She made her choice within no time. She slipped her hand on his waist and whispered. “Alright, if you don’t like it, I won’t sleep with her. I will sleep with you.”
The ice on Jing Yichen’s face melted hearing what she said. “Okay!”
Shangguan Ning smiled and shook her head – it was so easy to make her man happy.
Jing Yichen cared so much about her that she felt extremely lucky. She kissed Jing Yichen and then looked at the two silhouettes on the other side of the pearl drapery. “Why is Mu Qing here with you?”
Shangguan Ning had just finished asking when Mu Qing explained loudly from the other side of the living room. “I am not following you, I came with Master Jing. He came to find his wife whilst I came to find my fiancée.”
“No one is your fiancée here. Get out now!”
“You are my fiancée! You promised to marry me already, so don’t try to break your promise!”
“I was underaged at that time. Don’t take it seriously. You are a piece of wood and I have changed my mind.”
“I took your words seriously! Anyways, I will sleep here tonight and I will do what a fiancé should do.You aren’t sleeping with Sister, you are sleeping with me tonight!”
Zhao Anan got pissed off by Mu Qing’s unreasonable behaviour. How dare he ask her to sleep with him? He was simply too audacious!
She raised her leg and kicked him.
She glared and shouted, “Fiancé? Sleeping with you? Get out of my house. Also, why do you call her Sister as I do. Stop trying to suck up to her!”
Mu Qing addressed Shangguan Ning as “Sister” to sound close to them. But how he addressed her at this moment truly seemed to be the same as how Zhao Anan should address her. After all Jing Yichen was Zhao Anan’s cousin and it was natural for her to address Shangguan Ning as Sister from the family.
