Chapter 212 - Unexpected Guests

No wonder Yong Liwei said those words. Han Yizhou was currently facing the food that Lu Mengjie prepared for him. What in the hell's name made it dark red?! Aside from that, the scrambled egg had too much black pepper on it. It was also half-burned!

"Come on. Eat up," Lu Mengjie offered. She had a smile on her lips but it didn't reach her eyes. It was as if she knew what she was doing at that moment. It was his punishment for him. 

"Why… Why is it red?" He finally asked.

"It's all because of my love for you. I cooked it with love," she replied.

Love…? He gulped nervously. It was more like she filled the food with nothing but chili powder.

Han Yizhou never liked eating spicy food but he could not bring himself to say no to his wife who was guarding him all the way. He picked the spoon and scooped some of the food. He stared at it for a while, making him gulp nervously.

"Good morning!" Wei Sianqi's soft, yet cheery voice was heard. "What's for breakfast?"

The man ended up inwardly sighing in relief at the arrival of the younger woman. He turned to her and smiled a bit as he answered, "Mengjie made something. Do you want to try it?"

"Oh! Jiejie did?" She quickly went to his side and as soon as she saw the food, her face went pale. "Mr. Yong, I suddenly want to have cereal for breakfast." She patted his shoulder before she quickly left his side.

Lu Mengjie pouted her lips. "It's only for you, darling."

"What are you going to eat?"

She turned to Wei Sianqi and grinned as she said, "Qiqi will make breakfast for me, right?"

"O-Of course!"

Lu Mengjie turned her gaze back to her husband. "Now eat it up, darling."

There was no escaping it, not when he was cornered by her this way. He was about to eat up the food she made but then, this time, he was saved by the doorbell. He stood up from the seat and offered, "I'll see who it is."

"I'm going to kill whoever that person is!" Lu Mengjie muttered through gritted teeth. She turned to Wei Sianqi who had been quiet for a while as she cooked. "Are we expecting a guest today?"

The younger girl shook her head. "I wasn't informed of someone coming. Maybe it's Mr. Yong's guest?"

"Huh." Lu Mengjie went out of the dining room and went to check on who came. She stopped on her track and her eyes went wide when she saw a woman hugging her husband right in front of her. She once saw that ash brown-haired woman in Japan.

Han Yizhou pulled away from the embrace, a knit forming between his brows. "Xue Lihua, what are you doing here?"

"I came to visit you. I missed you so I-" She paused and noticed Lu Mengjie, standing behind him. Her face instantly went dark. "Why is she here?"

The side of Lu Mengjie's lips twitched. "Why not?" She took a step forward as she began approaching them. She rudely nudged Xue Lihua's hold away from Han Yizhou's arm before she hugged his arm possessively instead. "I am his wife. I have the right to live here."

The other woman clenched her jaw as she began glaring at Lu Mengjie.

"I'll ask again, what are you doing here, Xue Lihua?" This time, the iciness in Han Yizhou's voice was heard. He was sure that she did not come just to visit him. He had already ended her contract with him but he only allowed her to stay as one of his subordinates because of her ability.

"Oh come on, Yong Liwei, don't be rude to her. We're just visiting a friend."

The couple shot their gaze at the man who took a step out from the side.

Lu Mengjie's eyes widened in shock when she saw the other man who betrayed her. Si Guanlin.

The man's eyes landed. His eyes went crescent as he smiled upon seeing her there. "Long time no see, Mengjie. Although I'm not sure if you remember me yet."

Lu Mengjie tightened her hug around Han Yizhou's arm and for some reason, her body began to tremble, not because of fear but her anger that was mixed with hatred for him. She tried to suppress all the boiling emotions inside her and instead, she gave him a puzzled look. "Are you… someone I know?"

Han Yizhou turned to his wife. He could tell what she was trying to do but it only made him wonder what made her act that way. 

Si Guanlin was quiet for a second as he ended up staring down at her. Lu Mengjie only responded by blinking innocently at him. He ended up chuckling. "Ahh how sad. I can't believe that you still don't remember me." He took a step forward and was about to reach out to her but was blocked by none other than Han Yizhou. He gave Si Guanlin a warning glare.

"You're so protective. I am also her friend you know." He laughed lightly. "I heard that you married her. Don't be so grumpy now, we're just here to congratulate you both, right Lihua?"

"I can't wait for the day they'll divorce."

Another laugh was heard from Si Guanlin. "I look forward to that day to come. Anyway, shouldn't you be inviting us in?"

"Invite you?" Lu Mengjie raised a brow. She was trying her best not to beat the shit out of him after recalling what he did to her. "I don't think we should invite them, darling." She looked at her husband and smiled. "The last time I saw something like them, I flushed it." She turned to Xue Lihua. She released her husband's arm before she rudely pushed her out.

"Hey! You bitch! I'm-"

"Eww. I touched a piece of shit." She rubbed her hands on Si Guanlin's shirt. "Now we should throw this trash out."
