Chapter 8

Meixiu looks at Duyi blankly. The man just looks at her with his chin up. He felt the rush of proudness upon saying the magic word.

I'm sure this peasant will move on her knees.

Jiang Duyi maintain his posture for a minute but confusion clouded his face as Meixiu just stands in front of him.

His face frowned as the girl beside him looks at Meixiu in disgust.

"Didn't you hear his name? He can put you in jail with just a snap of a finger" Yang Qing, Duyi's lover said, leaning at him.

"Meixiu, come on. Let's leave."

"That's right, you two leave the store. Or I'll call the manager."

"Go and call" Meixiu challenged Qing, and the girl got offended and called the manager.

"What could be the problem here?" The manager approaches them as Duyi complains that Meixiu and Xiaohui are a disturbance to their shopping.

The manager looks at Meixiu and Xiaohui in disgust.

"Excuse me, but please leave my store! You are ruining our reputation!" The manager yelled but Meixiu didn't move an inch.

"Are you deaf? Do you not hear me!?"

"I thought this store is first come first serve."

"I'm sorry but this store values their customers who bought things. Mr. Jiang here has bought 10 items and is currently purchasing the 11th item, the one in his hand so please leave. I'm asking you two politely."

"Meixiu, come on. We need to look for Grandma Peng's bed" Xiaohui drags her wife away from the store.

Duyi just smirks as Meixiu is eyeing him.

-

"Do you think this bed could fit in the storage area?" Xiaohui asks Meixiu as the girl hum and moves the box inside the house.

They just both finished shopping for Grandma Peng's bed and Meixiu will set it up inside the storage room.

After buying the bed, Xiaohui tried to drag Meixiu toward a clothing store but the girl seems to lose interest which Xiaohui understands.

"Hey, why do you look sad?"

"Because you didn't get the dress you wanted, baby."

"Stop worrying about it. I have many clothes already, you should buy your clothes" Xiaohui said, sitting down on the sofa.

"Baby-"

"Stop it already, Grandma Peng does want you to sleep in my room so let's surprise Grandma" Meixiu nodded and set up the bed.

As she was fixing the bed, she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. She stops for a while and took out her phone only to see Jiang Yanlin's message.

Ms. Song, this is the number of your secretary **** **** ****, her name is Zhong Wenqian. Call her if you need something.

Ok, do you know someone named Jiang Duyi?

He is my son, why do you suddenly ask, Ms. Song?

Nothing, earlier I met him and he said unpleasant things to me and my wife. I just wanted to know if what he said is true.

Meixiu waited for Yanlin's reply but got shocked as the older man decided to call her. She presses the green button and Yanlin's frantic voice welcomes her.

"Ms. Song! I apologize for what my son did to you!"

"Papa! What are you talking about!? And who is that!?"

"Shut up! You idiot decided to insult Ms. Song and her wife earlier! Why don't you apologize!?"

"Papa, I never insult anyone!"

"You did! Song Meixiu? Does it not ring a bell!?"

"Ah, that peasant? I heard she is the useless wife of the Zheng family!"

Meixiu winced as she heard a loud slap from the phone.

"Song Meixiu is the young master of the Ren family! How dare you say that!?"

"Yanlin, why did you suddenly call me?"

"Ms. Song! I'm sorry about my son! He didn't know anything about the true heir of the Ren family!"

"Dad! It's just a piece of clothing! I'm sure Meixiu won't mind it."

"What are you saying!? You bastard! It's Ms. Song! She is the next master so call her right!"

"And you better give that clothing to Ms. Song! Or I will punish you!"

"Yanlin, it's fine. My wife forgot about it."

"Ms. Song, it's not a trouble for my son. He will do it and apologize to you tomorrow, morning."

"Anyway, I'll go now, I still have to do something."

"Yes, yes. Of course!"

Meixiu hangs up the call before furrowing her eyebrows. Is she that powerful? Even Duyi, who has the same age as her, needs to respect her!

Was she greedy for respect? No! She definitely wanted to live a normal life with her wife.

She shows her sadness to her father back then but now she's very happy. She no longer needs to stay inside their house.

She no longer needs to study at home. She no longer needs to disguise herself and have bodyguards with her while she's outside.

In short, accepting her fate and being married to her the one, is amazing.

"Meixiu" the girl snapped back and look at the door just to see Xiaohui with a glass of water in hand.

"Do you need something? Baby?"

"Here, you are working hard so I'm giving you a glass of water."

Meixiu smiles widely before approaching Xiaohui. She grab the water from her wife and drank it fastly.

"Stop smiling, you are creeping me out" Xiaohui grabs the glass from Meixiu's hand as the girl doesn't seem to give it to her.

"Who wouldn't smile widely like me? My wife just notice me and even give me some water!"

"What are you saying? I always give you tea but then you don't drink it. Did you even drink the milk I prepare last time?" Xiaohui leans at the door frame.

"Of course! I like warm milk! I always had it when I was a child and I still do. But I like yours better."

"You are bluffing again! You just wanted to sleep beside me!"

"Of course not! I really like yours!"

-

"Babe! It's already late at night, you didn't inform me that you will visit me" Qing was shocked when she saw Duyi in front of her door.

"No time for that, where's the dress?"

"What dress? You gave me so many dresses."

"The dress earlier! The one I grab from her wife!"

"Why do you even need it? And you were yelling, lower down your voice."

Duyi huffs a breath before grabbing Qing's neck. The girl held Duyi's hand as she look at him in confusion.

"I can't breathe! What are y-you doing!?"

"Give me the dress or I'll kill you!"

"Give me a reason!"

"That Meixiu girl, she is the young master of the Ren family! My father will get in trouble if Master Ren knew about this!"

Qing was shocked upon hearing this. She quickly removes Duyi's hand from her neck and invites him in, desperately looking for the dress.

"Here," Qing said, giving the paper bag.

"You still haven't worn this right?"

"Of course not! I was planning on paying someone to wash it since that peasant wore it."

Qing's head snap on the side as it came into contact with Duyi's hand. She looks at him in shock, rubbing the part where he slaps her.

"She is the young mistress! She married the young master so don't call her like that!"

"Ok, ok. What are you going to do then? The young master probably hates you!"

Duyi look around anxiously before he sat down on the couch. Qing sat down beside him.

"My father said I should apologize tomorrow morning and accompany her so that I will have a good impression."

Impossible, you already insult her and her wife.

"Good, then let me come with you."

"You'll only insult her."

"I'll also apologize."

"Ok, I'll fetch you tomorrow, morning."

Duyi stands up and walks out of Qing's place. The girl didn't walk him out as she was lost in her thought.

Qing was thinking about Meixiu. If the girl is really the young master, then she can use her charm to be her secret lover.

Her wife doesn't even look beautiful considering she's wearing low-class clothes and doesn't have any make-up.

She thought she can only seduce and be in a relationship with Duyi, as he was always bragging about being the son of the lawyer of the Ren family.

Mr. Jiang confirmed that she is the young master. He was probably ordered by Master Ren himself to take care of the young master that's why Duyi is here.

It's not even a week since Qing and Duyi have been in a relationship but the girl already drifted her mind to someone else.

"Ok, you will present yourself as beautiful as ever. The young master will like it and might take you as her concubine."

Qing smiles at her idea.
