Chapter 7 He Is Deliberately Making Things Difficult for Her

"An Ruo, this is what you asked for, I'm waiting for the day you beg me."

As he wrote down his name, An Ruo heaved a sigh of relief, not having to share a bed with him was the best outcome.

As for begging him, that day would never come.

Lisa quietly listened to their conversation from the sidelines, and seeing that both had signed the agreement, a small smile played on her lips, her heart blossoming with joy.

An Ruo, I'm afraid your position as Young Lady won't last long.

No matter, once you step down, that position will be mine.

After breakfast, An Ruo prepared to leave the house. Just as she reached the door, Tang Yuchen suddenly called out to her, "Stop, you can't go out yet."

"Why?" An Ruo turned back in surprise.

The corners of the man's lips curled into a teasing smile, "You are my wife, so it's your duty to wash my clothes. Now go wash them all."

She didn't deign to share a bed with him, did she?

Then she should fulfill her other wifely duties!

Tang Yuchen decided that she was going to carry out all her duties as a wife.

An Ruo frowned, "Your clothes have dedicated servants to wash them, why must I do it?"

"Because you're my wife."

"..."

He was deliberately making it difficult for her, but An Ruo did not resist further. It was only washing clothes, after all—not a big deal.

"If I finish washing the clothes, can I go out then?" she asked with a smile.

Not getting angry at her, Tang Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "After washing the clothes, you also have to prepare lunch for me. I want to eat the lunch you make."

"After preparing lunch, can I go out?"

"Remember to come back early in the afternoon as you'll need to make dinner for me too."

"Okay, I got it." An Ruo calmly accepted his requests.

Doing these things didn't make her feel wronged as long as Tang Yuchen didn't pressure her into doing things she didn't want to.

By the time An Ruo left the house, it was already twelve o'clock noon.

She went straight back to the An Family home, having not seen Xiao Ji for several days, she missed him and wanted to know how he was doing now.

But when she hurried over to the An Family, Xu Huwen told her Xiao Ji was missing.

An Ruo asked angrily, "How can he be missing? Didn't you say that as long as I marry Tang Yuchen, I would be allowed to see him? Did you do something to Xiao Ji, causing him to run away from home?!"

Xu Huwen scoffed disdainfully, "Missing means missing. He has legs to go wherever he wants, can we even control that? An Ruo, let me tell you, we're only responsible for raising you and your brother, not for being a nagging mother constantly watching over you!"

An Ruo knew she couldn't get anything more from her and directly called An Mingqi.

An Mingqi said he had brought Xiao Ji home yesterday, but by morning he was gone, and he had no idea where he went.

The servants at the An Family all said they hadn't seen Xiao Ji, and An Ruoxin became frantic with worry, deciding to go out and look for him herself.

Xiao Ji was only twelve years old, and due to illness, he had always been frail.

Aside from going to school, there were very few places he could go.

An Ruo searched all the places he might go but still couldn't find him.

Wearing high heels, she had walked a long way, not only were her feet aching, but her legs also felt as if they were about to break.

Sitting on a bench by the side of the road, she thought to herself: Xiao Ji, where on earth have you gone?

As the sun began to set in the West, An Ruo's heart grew more and more anxious.

Wondering if Xiao Ji had returned.

She called the An Family home, only to learn that Xiao Ji had still not returned, and her heart sank to the depths.
