Meng Ying stood by the bed. “Are you really this afraid of me?”

Anyone would be scared if they had been lifted up and thrown downstairs from the window like a rag. He even had fallen unconscious and almost broken his leg. How could he not be afraid?

“Just tell me what I have to do for you to stay far away from me.” It would be best if she never appeared again.

Meng Ying thought about it seriously. “Give me that ring.”

“What ring?”

“The bronze ring that we were fighting for at the auction.”

Lu Jingyang finally remembered. The bronze ring that he had spent 100 million on was totally meaningless to him. It was still in his pocket.

He asked, “Will you never appear in front of me again if I give it to you?”

“Even if you beg me.”

“…” Lu Jingyang gritted his teeth. “Okay, I’ll give it to you.”

“I can buy it at the price I bid for.”

“No need.” Lu Jingyang rejected decisively. He would rather consider the 100 million dollars as charity.

He did not want to have anything to do with her, much less taking her money.

Meng Ying clicked her tongue in admiration and gave him a thumbs up. “Young Master Lu is indeed rich, generous, and straightforward. You will be my friend from now on!”

“Get lost!” Lu Jingyang was so frightened that he shivered. He quickly took out the ring box from his clothes and threw it at her like a rock. “From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other.”

Who would ever want to be friends with her?

Meng Ying caught the box and said with a smile, “Okay, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Lu Jingyang came back to life the moment she left.

He panted heavily and felt a shiver down his spine. He was almost scared to death.

…

Meng Ying looked at the ring left and right when she got home. It seemed to be an ancient item, but she couldn’t see any value in it.

‘Did Mu Yuansheng want this item as a collection?’

In the evening, Mu Yuansheng returned and saw Meng Ying sleeping on the sofa.

Frowning, he walked over and took off his jacket to cover her.

When Auntie Lian came in from the backyard, he lowered his voice and asked, “How long has she been sleeping here?”

“Madam has been asleep for about half an hour. I asked her to go upstairs to sleep, but she said she would wait for you here.”

Mu Yuansheng turned around to look at the woman who was sound asleep. ‘She is really stubborn.’

“Did she take the medicine?”

“No.” Auntie Lian sighed. “Madam refused to drink that medicine no matter what. She said it was too bitter.”

Mu Yuansheng’s expression darkened.

This woman was such a drama queen.

“Bring the medicine over,” he said.

He walked to the sofa and patted her shoulder lightly.

Meng Ying had woken up when he came back, but she didn’t open her eyes.

She opened her sleepy eyes. “Hubby…”

“Get up and take your medicine.” There was no tenderness in his voice.

Meng Ying reached out her hand. “Pull me up.”

Mu Yuansheng didn’t want to bother about her, but he eventually gave in and pulled her up.

The moment she sat up, she leaned into his arms and wrapped her arms around his thin waist, greedily inhaling his scent.

Mu Yuansheng resisted the urge to push her away. “Stop fooling around and drink the medicine.”

Auntie Lian brought the medicine out and was speechless when she saw Meng Ying hugging Mu Yuansheng.

‘Madam’s dependence on Sir is like a newborn’s dependence on her mother.’

‘Sigh, it must have been hard for Sir.’

Marrying a wife was like raising a daughter. He had to pamper and protect her, even allowing her to throw a child’s tantrum.

“Madam, you need to drink the medicine to recover.” Auntie Lian tried to coax her.

Meng Ying stuck her head out from Mu Yuansheng’s arms reluctantly. The smell on his body was nothing special. However, although it was just an ordinary fragrance, she felt at ease when she smelled it.

It was probably not his scent that made her happy, but him as a person.

“Feed me.” Meng Ying looked at Mu Yuansheng.

Even though Mu Yuansheng wasn’t happy with her request, he still agreed in the end.

He took the medicine and fed her spoon by spoon.

Since he had married her, it was his responsibility to take good care of her even if she was a fool.

No matter what she was up to, he would accept it.

Meng Ying realized that the bitterness lasted longer if she drank it one mouth at a time.

So, she simply took the bowl and finished it in one gulp.

She took in a deep breath and her face scrunched up. “That’s bitter.”

“Have some dates…”

Mu Yuansheng, who had a date in his hand, felt the taste of bitterness on her lips all of a sudden. The bitterness then wormed its way into his air tube.

Meng Ying widened her eyes and clearly saw the man’s constricted pupils. Before he could react, she immediately retreated and jumped off the sofa. She grabbed the date from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth before running upstairs happily.

Auntie Lian, who was watching from the side, could not help but laugh.

Although Sir was a gentle person and he had treated the servants well, he was overly cold.

Luckily, Madam had given life to the house with her bubbly personality.

Moreover, a person like Sir who had an indifferent personality had to be complemented by someone like Madam, who had a lively personality.

Auntie Lian saw Mu Yuansheng’s ears turned red and smiled as she tidied up the place.

Mu Yuansheng’s ears were burning and the date was still between his lips. He took it down and his chest heaved up and down.

That woman was really getting more overboard with her actions.

Was she going to kiss another man so casually as well?

The more Mu Yuansheng thought about it, the more unhappy he felt. He even wanted to scold her.

In the end, he endured it.

He went to the study and saw a small box on the desk.

Before he left, there was nothing on the table other than the computer.

There was a piece of paper under the box. The handwriting on it was lively and arrogant. When he saw the handwriting, he knew exactly who wrote it.

“The first law of pampering you will be giving you everything you want.”

Mu Yuansheng’s eyebrows twitched.

He opened the box hesitantly. Inside was the bronze ring that Lu Jingyang had gotten from the auction.

Why was it in her hands?

“Sir, Madam’s family is here.” Auntie Lian stood at the door of the study.

Mu Yuansheng put down the box. “Go get her.”

…

Apart from Meng Shiliang and Meng Xin, there was also an old lady downstairs.

Mu Yuansheng had never seen the old lady before, but judging from the similarities between her eyebrows and Meng Shiliang’s, he could roughly guess who she was.

“Where’s Meng Ying, that silly girl?” Old Lady Meng spoke with an imposing manner.

She acted as if she was the empress dowager and didn’t consider herself an outsider at all.

Not only did Meng Shiliang’s expression change, but Mu Yuansheng’s expression also changed.

“Grandma, Sister is married. Don’t say that.” Meng Xin whispered in the old lady’s ear.

Old Lady Meng snorted. “So what if she’s married? Can the fact that she’s a fool be changed?”

Hearing what she said, Meng Xin decided not to say anything.

She knew this would happen. Meng Ying had been in the limelight for the past few days. Not only did she cause trouble for her family, she even made business with the family. Meng Shiliang could allow Meng Ying to do whatever she likes, but the old lady would not let Meng Ying continue playing like this.

As expected, after the old lady found out what Meng Ying did, she rushed over.

“Old Madam, please respect my wife.” Mu Yuansheng’s expression was cold.

Although Mu Yuansheng did not like to smile, he was at least gentle and polite to others, and he had never given them any attitude.

However, anyone with eyes could tell how unhappy he was in front of the old lady today.
