Hubby

The whole foyer was silent when Xie Jingyu and Yu Huiyin entered. Both of them were stunned by the sight that greeted them, unsure of what to do next.

Xie Jingyu had instantly guessed the thoughts of his grandfather, but he was not happy. He had brought Yu Huiyin back with him for the sake of meeting his grandfather, but now she might think of him as a player.

He glanced nervously at Yu Huiyin, but all he saw in her expression was surprise.

"Dearest," Xie Jingyu removed his hand from her arm, and wrapped it around her waist instead, dragging her into his embrace.

"These are all women who wish to steal your man from you; you ought to swear an oath of sovereignty now."

Yu Huiyin glanced at the man, her face was covered in a blush as she was not used to being held around the waist, and to be so close to any man.

"Bonus," she whispered after considering her options. Even if she did not admit to their marriage, she could not deny it either, and thus she might as well do what she could to bleed him dry.

"I'll double the salary for this month," Xie Jingyu replied without any hesitation as he whispered closely in Yu Huiyin's ear. He could feel her tremble in his arms, and he was feeling immensely proud of himself.

Yu Huiyin was feeling weak from having Xie Jingyu whisper in her ear; it was clear that her ear was sensitive.

The women present were all shocked when they saw the intimate gestures of Xie Jingyu.

Xie Jingyu was famous for not having any carnal desires, that no woman could approach him, and that he was ruthless. Even so, he was immensely attractive and wealthy, so many wanted to be his partner.

The Old Master, Xie Jingyu's grandfather, was shocked when he saw the intimate gestures between his grandson and a strange woman.

He was ecstatic. Although he was going to be somewhat embarrassed about having invited all these women, but his grandson appeared with another woman; he did not care at all about the rest.

His grandson was finally interested in women! It was a day to celebrate.

The old master stepped forward, he had a great smile on his face, and it was clear that he was ecstatic about the woman who had appeared by Xie Jingyu's side.

He was so ecstatic that he was ready to drive them to the marital office already to ensure that they would be married on the same day.

"You stinky boy, why did you not tell me that you have a female friend already?" the old man asked, feeling indignant. If he had known, would he ever have gone through the trouble of bringing all these annoying women into his home?

"She's not just my female friend," Xie Jingyu answered with a grin, his words causing all the women in the foyer to stare at him with big eyes, some of them even had unshed tears within them.

"Tell me, who is she then?" Old Master Xie could not help but ask, his eyes glancing at her, and the more he looked, the more pleasing to the eyes this woman seemed.

"Why don't you tell him, dearest?" Xie Jingyu asked as he looked at Yu Huiyin, but the woman was quite annoyed.

"Hubby, he is your grandfather. You should be the one to break the news to him."

Hearing her call him hubby, it was as if his brain short-circuited, and he suddenly felt as if he could overcome all obstacles as long as she was by his side.

The coquettish voice she had used, and her sudden obedience, it as simply too much for Xie Jingyu's heart to take, it kept beating rapidly, and he had to take a deep breath to steady himself.

Old Master Xie had heard her call him hubby as well, and his eyes widened, the grin on his face now reaching from one eye to the other.

"You stinking boy, did you finally get married?"

Xie Jingyu smiled and nodded his head, "Huiyin is indeed my wife," he admitted happily. Her indirect way of admitting it made him immensely happy.

"Come with me to the study," Old Master Xie ordered, after which he looked at Yu Huiyin. "You can mingle a little with the young misses of the upper class," he said to her.

Yu Huiyin looked at the many women and knew instantly that this was a battlefield, but she did not mind.

Nodding her head, she went to a maid who had some canapes on a tray. She took one and tried tasting it, finding it immensely delicious. She had never tasted such a delicate thing before.

Xie Jingyu gave a glance at Yu Huiyin. Seeing how comfortable she was, he smiled before he followed the old man upstairs where he could discuss the situation.

At the same time, many women were glancing at Yu Huiyin, all of their eyes containing disdain, jealousy, and even some hatred.

Just as Yu Huiyin was busy tasting various delicacies, a group of three young women walked up behind her.

"So, you are married to Young Master Xie?"

"Yes," Yu Huiyin nodded her head as she casually admitted their relationship.

"What famous family are you from?" another woman asked, but Yu Huiyin, who knew that they were looking for trouble, just smiled sweetly.

"I am a mere commoner." She was not ashamed of her background, so she did not mind exposing it.

"A mere commoner wants to match with Young Master Xie?" One of the three asked, her face filled with disdain.

"What can I do?" Yu Huiyin sighed and looked around. "He likes me and wanted to marry me; it is not like I forced him to do it."
