Chapter 7

"And what's with the dinner?" Xiaohui ask, putting down her hand as she felt tired because Tingfeng didn't get the flower from her.

"Another sorry, I act like an asshole yesterday. I was a bit drunk that's why I did that. I'm sorry about that" Tingfeng said, scratching his nape. Xiaohui looks at him for a while.

Is he being sincere right now?

"Ok, where are we going?" Xiaohui asks which shocks Tingfeng.

"Y-you'll eat dinner with me?"

"Hmm, don't you want to?" Xiaohui asks again. She turns around and walks towards the exit of the company.

Tingfeng walks close behind her with a wide smile.

"I mean, I'm just shocked. You don't agree much with me" Tingfeng said.

"Yeah, I did see it. Let me call Meixiu to let her know I won't eat dinner at the house" Xiaohui walks away with her phone in hand and call her wife.

"Hello? Baby, why did you call?"

"You sound like you were sleeping, did I disturb you?"

"What? Of course not! You can disturb me anytime, Wife. And it will be fine for me!"

"Ok, if you say so but I called because-"

"Song Meixiu!"

Xiaohui furrow her eyebrows as she heard an unfamiliar voice of a woman. She looks at her phone before putting it on her ear again.

"Meixiu, who is that?"

"Uhh-"

"I missed you! You didn't visit me as much as you do 2 years ago!"

"Song Meixiu! Go home now! We'll talk in the house!"

Xiaohui hung up the call as her face's expression stays stoic. Tingfeng approaches her.

"Hey, I already reserve the res-"

"I remember I will do something today, I'll go now."

Xiaohui didn't wait for Tingfeng's reply. Tingfeng looks at Xiaohui's fading figure before sighing out and scoffing.

"Meixiu again," Tingfeng said with hatred.

"Sister Meixiu? Why do you look like you were killed?"

"Deng Mingzhu! I'm doomed!" Meixiu stands up from her bed and grabs her shoes.

"Why?" Deng Mingzhu is the daughter of the head maid of the Song family. She is 4 years younger than Meixiu and Weimin.

"My wife! She might think I have another woman because of your loud voice!" Meixiu said, tying her shoelace.

"Eh? You still haven't introduced me to Sister Xiaohui that's why she will really think that."

Mingzhu huffed as she pouted and cross her arms.

"I told you, I still can't find the right time to tell her that I have someone who is like a sibling to me."

Mingzhu nodded as she stands up from Meixiu's bed. She fixed it as her young master takes a nap earlier after she talked with Weimin.

"I get it. I heard even Weimin still doesn't know your wife" Mingzhu nodded.

"Sorry! I'll go now ok? Tell Auntie Deng I already left" Meixiu quickly walked out of her old bedroom.

"Young Master! Do you want me to drive you off?"

"Yes, please! That will be a great help" Meixiu said, sitting at the back of the car.

She arrive at their house in no time and was about to come inside when someone called her.

"Song Meixiu!"

Meixiu turn around and her face turns pale as soon as she saw her wife glaring at her. Xiaohui approaches Meixiu and held her wife's ear, causing the girl to yelp in pain.

"Wife! That hurts! What did I do!?" Meixiu panicked as she felt like her ear was breaking apart from her head.

Xiaohui drags her inside their house, not caring if their neighbors saw them or not.

"What did you do? You didn't tell me you were seeing another woman!"

"B-but... That's-"

"What? Even if my mother is not as kind as I am, my father never looked at someone! I was forcefully married to you yet you were still looking for another woman!?"

"Did you just-"

"Yes! I compare my mother to me!" Xiaohui tightens her grip on Meixiu's ear.

"A-ah! Xiaohui! Don't hold it like that!" Meixiu tried on freeing her ear.

Xiaohui huff before she releases Meixiu's ear and walks to the bedroom. Meixiu's eyes got teary but never released tears as she doesn't want her wife to see her.

"Man, she's scary! She almost tears my ear away!" Meixiu mumbles, rubbing her red ear to lessen the pain.

"I heard that!" Meixiu quickly walk towards the kitchen as she heard the door being opened.

"Be ready! We will buy things for Grandma Peng's bedroom!"

Meixiu walked into the bedroom to get change. As she walked out and look at her wife, she saw Xiaohui looking at her intently.

"Is... There something wrong?"

"I just realize, you've been wearing almost the same clothing all the time."

"What do you mean?" Meixiu looks at her confused.

"Let's buy you new clothes. I've been seeing you washing and wearing those clothes this week so let's go."

Xiaohui walked out of the house. Meixiu furrowed her eyebrows before smiling widely and following Xiaohui outside.

-

"Xiaohui! Let's go to that store and let me buy you some clothes!" Meixiu grabs Xiohui's hands as she drags the smaller girl towards the store.

"Meixiu! They sell expensive stuff! We can't afford it" Xiaohui tried to get her hand back but Meixiu being stronger, just got dragged.

"It's fine, I can pay for it" Meixiu smiles widely.

"Welcome."

"Come on Baby, pick the clothes you wanted. I'll pay for it" Meixiu said, pushing Xiaohui towards the pile of clothes.

Xiaohui huffed before looking at the clothes and picking out the cheapest one. Meixiu sat down as she watches her wife furrowing her eyebrows.

Xiaohui picked out a dress and present it to Meixiu, and the girl gave her a thumbs up.

"Try it, let's see if it fits you!" Meixiu said excitedly. Xiaohui rolled her eyes before walking toward the changing room.

"Wow! You look stunning as always!" Meixiu approaches Xiaohui as soon as she walked out of the changing room.

Xiaohui's side lip twitch but never showed any emotion. Meixiu admire her intently, making the smaller to blush as she was embarrassed.

"Go on and take it off, let's pay for it!" Meixiu said excitedly as she push her wife inside.

"Make sure you'll pay for this" Xiaohui walked out with the dress in hand.

Meixiu nodded her head with still a big smile. She assists her wife toward the counter but stops as she felt Xiaohui stops.

"What's the mat-"

"Babe, I like this dress... Will you buy it for me?" Meixiu saw a woman that has heavy makeup and a man in a suit beside her.

The man smiles before grabbing the dress from Xiaohui's hands.

"Hey! My wife meant to buy that dress!?"

"And who are you? Why are you here in this store? You look like peasants!" The man said with a hiss. Meixiu looks at herself than at her wife.

"Excuse me? It's ok to insult me but not my wife!" Meixiu said, glaring at the man.

"Do you know who you are talking to?" The woman with heavy makeup asks, showing her displeased expression.

"Meixiu, stop it. Let's just look for another store and dress" Xiaohui grab Meixiu's arm.

Meixiu looked at her before holding her hand and smiling.

"Baby, do you not trust me? I'll fight for your dress, don't worry."

"You don't look believable and for your information, you're looking for death," the man said.

"And why is that? Are you the one who will decide if I will live or not?" The man smirks before nodding his head.

"Of course, I am Jiang Duyi! The son of Jiang Yanlin, the lawyer of the Ren family!"
