Chapter 104

Nothing special happened yesterday. Other than she finally heard Yanlin talking to her grandfather and she almost get to talk to the old man.

But before she could take the phone from the middle-aged man, her phone vibrated indicating that Xiaohui have woken up.

This cause her to push the phone back, apologizing to Yanlin because her wife would get late if she still hasn't bought any ingredients for the breakfast.

Master Ren and Yanlin understands the young woman, causing them to nod even if Meixiu doesn't see her grandfather doing so. She quickly fled the area and let Yanlin and Master Ren talk to each other.

Considering she's still in hiding, as much as she wanted to meet her grandfather and confront him about the reason why her mother suffer, she doesn't want to reveal herself.

She knew about the younger sister eyeing the old master. And she doesn't want to risk her life as well as her grandfather.

Because at the end of the day, she still has a family to feed. Even if Meixiu and Xiaohui still doesn't have any child - because Xiaohui's prioritising to be financially stable - the thought of having one remains in their mind.

Yes, Xiaohui's planning to go under IVF to get pregnant.

And this is one of the reasons why Xiaowen wants to have Meixiu and Xiaohui divorced. Considering Meixiu wouldn't be able to give her daughter a child on their own, she wants Xiaohui to grow her own family.

Another reason is because Meixiu's poor.

Though, Meixiu doesn't have any idea about Xiaohui's plan. Today was something different for the two.

Meixiu didn't have any complains from Xiaowen which is surprising but not, considering the older woman went back to the Zheng Villa to snoop around her father.

The tall woman was peacefully washing the dishes. After their breakfast, the mother-daughter duo fled the scene with one thing in their mind.

One to make money and the other to snoop.

As she was about to finish washing the dishes, her phone rang causing her to quickly rinse the last plate and dry her hand off.

She went over the living room, grabbing her phone on the coffee table and seeing Xiaohui's name as the caller's ID.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Meixiu."

"Is something wrong?"

Xiaohui didn't speak for a while. She wondered why she suddenly call her wife at such time. It hasn't been a few hours since she left home for work.

Meixiu waited for Xiaohui to speak but to no avail, the silence on the other line kills her off. She look back on her phone, seeing still the call as on-going yet the woman on the other end doesn't seem to speak.

"Hey? What happened?"

Meixiu look for her jacket, grabbing it in the process before going to their bedroom to grab her scooter's key. As she was about to exit their house, the smaller woman spoke at the other end.

"Can you deliver the folder that I left on top of the desk? I forgot to grab it on my way to work."

Xiaohui didn't hear anything on the other line but ruckus, she couldn't help but smile at Meixiu's action. Her heart swells in anticipation, seeing the taller woman yet again after only half an hour since she left home.

"I'll be there in 10."

Meixiu hang up the call and went out of their house. She quickly opened the scooter and hop in, driving away from the neighborhood to the Zheng company to meet her wife.

Just as she thought it was something different, Xiaohui only forgot a thing in their house. Meixiu was always unsure of the woman's feelings every now and then.

As she was driving to the company, she was stopped by the red light on the road. Her eyes travel around the area, seeing the familiar bus stop that she and Xiaohui used to ride on back when they are still in college.

Her lips curve into a smile at the sudden thought. She was, though, brought back to reality when the car behind horn at her.

And in no time, she reached the company. She quickly parked near the entrance, jumping a little as she turn back to be greeted by Xiaohui who looks a little different.

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine, I was struck by your beauty only."

Whenever Meixiu tease Xiaohui, the smaller woman would always glare at her and scoff in disbelief. But in today's case, it wasn't the same.

Meixiu's eyes flickered when she saw how Xiaohui looked away, her cheeks turning into a pinkish color palette as her lips curve into a small smile.

The taller woman's eyes wondered in amusement and was about to say something when Xiaohui cleared her throat and look back at Meixiu like nothing happened.

"Did you happen to bring it?"

"Ah, yes."

Meixiu went back to look at her scooter, opening the compartment area to grab the file Xiaohui instructed her to bring. She look back and smile widely towards the smaller woman, nudging the folder towards her.

"Here."

"Thank you."

Xiaohui smiles at her and bows down, showing her gratitude towards her wife. She grab the folder from Meixiu's hold and she was about to walk away when the taller woman stops her.

The smaller woman was 3 feet away from Meixiu when the latter called for her. She looked back and saw how Meixiu's eyes look at her with gentle and care.

"Xiaohui, I know you don't believe this but I love you."

That was the last thing Meixiu said before she waved at her, hop back in her scooter, and drove away, leaving Xiaohui standing in front of the Zheng company stunned.

"Meixiu, you and your words."

Back when they are in college, Meixiu was perceive as someone crazy in love to a person she doesn't have any clue of who she really is. She would always buy food, flowers that are cheap and was about to be thrown, and would always wait for Xiaohui even if at night.

It wasn't the big things that the smaller woman is looking at. It wasn't the glamorous car Tingfeng has, delicious and michelin level food a random person give, or the top-notch big and freshly picked flowers ones give her.

It was always the person.

And for Xiaohui, that person is Meixiu. 

She doesn't care about expensive and luxurious things. She cares about who the person is and what they can do for her. If Xiaohui's presented with a bunch of gifts, the expensive and cheap ones, if it weren't Meixiu then she won't accept it.

People might perceived Meixiu as the crazy, lunatic person who loves someone who doesn't care about her but Xiaohui's a different case.

The smaller woman sat back down on her desk, her eyes fixated on the file she was holding and smiled widely. She quickly opened it, only to be greeted by notes about Meixiu.

A different case.

Her hand hover over Meixiu's smiling picture. She has cut out her figure from their wedding photo, wanting to see her wife only.

Her eyes hover over another set of pictures of women. The young lady from the Jia family, a random photo of two girls whom she have seen Meixiu go out with, and the woman from the orphanage.

Meixiu may be the crazy, lunatic lover but Xiaohui's the obsessive, possesive yet cold lover.
