Sticking his chest to her back Qing Shan spoke in her ears softly,"Zhi Ruo, I know you much more than you think."Turning her towards himself, Qing Shan wrapped her in his arms and added, "If you want to cry, cry while hiding in my arms, (Kissing her on the forehead) trust me I will hide you better than the duvet."
Unable to control her tears Zhi Ruo broke down in Qing Shan"s arms.
Patting her continuously Qing Shan tried to calm her down while saying,"It"s okay, cry as much as you want. I will hide it well."
"Qing Shan.....sob.....you know....sob sob.....I ....
I never.... told anyone....sob sob.....
But... I want to tell you ....sob....sob... I don"t know ....why...sob....but...
I...I ...want to tell you...sob... that...I miss my mom...." saying so Zhi Ruo again bursted into tears....
"I am there with you now, I won"t ever leave you." saying so Qing Shan kissed her head while patting her back.
After Zhi Ruo calmed down, Qing Shan spoke to lighten her mood, "By the way wife, tell me what do you feel about my family"s reaction about your job. Was it as you had expected it to be or was it better than that?"
Suddenly remembering something Zhi Ruo drilled her head out from Qing Shan"s warm embrace and spoke, "Qing Shan, can you please ask mother not to send me soo many car"s. I don"t need it."
Wiping the remnants of the tears and snot on Zhi Ruo"s face from his hands Qing Shan answered, " I can"t. If I try to do so, I will be disowned."
Glaring at him for such a bad joke Zhi Ruo spoke, "Come on, don"t joke. Also if you don"t help me I will tell mom that I asked you for a help and you rejected. By then they will surely abandon you."
Scared with such thought"s of his wife, Qing Shan quickly explained her, "Wife, I am not joking. You have no idea how dangerous grandma is when it comes to protecting daughter in law. They will seriously abandon me. About the gifts just accept it, and if you don"t want it I will use it."
Hitting Qing Shan lightly on the chest Zhi Ruo chuckled and hided herself again into his embrace.
ON MONDAY:
Getting up Zhi Ruo had gotten ready wearing the same formals that she tried during shopping. On the other hand Qing Shan was feeling gloomy since morning thinking how that pervert Xu would get to spend almost the whole day with his beautiful wife.
"Zhi Ruo, do you really have to wear this?" asked Qing Shan with a pout while Zhi Ruo was getting ready.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Zhi Ruo asked Qing Shan,
"Do you want your wife to go wearing unprofessional clothes?
Qing Shan shook his head.
"Do you want your wife to feel less confident?"
Qing Shan again shook his head
"Do you want your wife to be criticized by her peers?"
Qing Shan again shook his head
"Do you want your wife to be fired on the first day of her job itself?"
Qing Shan shook his head again.
Looking at him who was almost ready to cry, Zhi Ruo went towards him, squeezed his cheeks and kissed his forehead while saying, "You look like a cute child..."
Touching his cheeks Qing Shan murmured while trying to keep his lips from curving up, "Did she just call me a cute child?"
"How can she call me a child? cute is ok, I will take it as a complement but child?" Thought Qing Shan
Shouting at Zhi Ruo who had left the room and was happily having breakfast Qing Shan said, "Zhi Ruo, I am not a cute child. I am your cute husband. You get it?"
