Good Morning, Hubby! 5

Tong Lu watched the queue of cars drive off and felt rather dejected. As it seemed, her brother-in-law did not object to her decision to remarry either. 

For some reason, she felt strangely frustrated. 

Shanshan put her hands on her waist and lowered her small head in a disheartened manner. "Mum, you have to put in some effort. If not, how are you going to win over dad's heart?"

Tong Lu furrowed her brows and jabbed her in the forehead. "Shanshan, stop talking nonsense. He's my brother-in-law, your uncle. He will marry somebody else someday."

Shanshan snorted. "You're so stupid. Das isn't marrying anyone right now. Let's work hard together. It's silly to leave such a good man lying around~ Look how cool and handsome dad is. How can we let some random little b*tch steal him away!"

Embarrassed, Tong Lu pursed her lips. 'Can't this little trickster stop her mischief? Who on earth taught her to say these things?'

Frankly, deep down, she understood that Shanshan wanted a complete family. But if her brother-in-law married someone someday, she and Shanshan would have to move out. Shanshan would never have a complete family. 

'But…. sigh.'

"Shanshan, from now on, you can't say those things in front of other people, alright? I'll be embarrassed and ashamed."

Resentful, Shanshan pouted and shot her a scornful look, as though Tong Lu was a lost cause. 

In one of the cars that left the manor, Secretary Yu said, "Young Master Jin, it'll be nice if the eldress manages to find Miss Tong a good man. You'll be able to get out of a forced marriage with a divorce agreement. Should we find her some suitors?"

The second Secretary Yu finished, he felt as if the atmosphere in the car became chillingly tense. He glanced at the man in the backseat and immediately kept his mouth shut.

He was rather curious. 'Does Young Master Jin not want to get out of this marriage anymore?'

It was unlikely. Young Master Jin had been secretly displeased towards this arrangement. 

Secretary Yu had no choice but to change the subject. "Young Master Jin, tonight is the night of the full moon. Should we arrange to take Miss Tong and Shanshan somewhere else, in case—"

Leng Yejin opened his eyes lazily. The look in his eyes was cold and dangerous. "Why are you so chatty today?"

Secretary Yu thought, 'Am I? I have only spoken two sentences.'

Secretary Yu sat in the front passenger seat. He felt so cold that he wanted to put on a coat very badly. Although it was sunny outside, he kept shivering. 

Tong Lu and Shanshan were at home. During lunchtime, the butler was serving them in the dining room. "Miss Tong, what do you and Young Mistress Shanshan want to eat for dinner? I'll tell the cooks to prepare the food for you."

"Now? It's too early."

"Let me explain, Miss Tong. It's because from four in the afternoon onwards, the staff will take their time off for the rest of the day as well as tomorrow. We'll come back to work the day after tomorrow. Therefore, the cooks have to prepare your dinner in advance. You can reheat the food in the evening."

"Take time off?"

"Yes. It's Young Master Jin's rule. On the fifteenth day of every month in the Lunar calendar, the mansion will close after four in the afternoon. Therefore, the servants and the guards will take their time off and enjoy the holiday. We are not allowed to stay in the house."

"He's quite nice huh."

The butler smiled and nodded. "Young Master Jin has always treated his staff well."

Tong Lu nodded. "You don't have to prepare the dinner for me. I can settle it on my own. I know how to cook. Since you're having time off, you should enjoy the holiday properly."

"Alright, I'll order the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients for you." After the butler said that, he added, "Miss Tong, Young Master Jin had a habit of spending his time alone these two days. The study is off-limits. You must not enter, or else—" The butler simply ran a hand across his own neck in a menacing manner.
