The next day, XunMi held her back as she wordlessly walked out the door. Meanwhile, the perpetrator was smiling happily, carefully helping her down the stairs.
Ling Chen and Song ZiQian felt as if they had been slapped in the face by PDA once again. “Ming ge, Xu Yi and the others are coming today.” Ling Chen placed breakfast on the table. Song ZiQian had made breakfast. Everyone had been surprised that he could cook. Military men were usually too busy and too tired to learn to cook. But he had been able to spare the free time to learn cooking.
XunMi thought that Song ZiQian really was the model Nice Guy. Good with cooking, good with housework. She approved.
Thus, cooking became split between XunMi and Song ZiQian, depending on who had free time.
“En, tell them to come over here to the house.” Ye MingYe didn’t have much of a reaction to the news. He pulled a chair out for XunMi, placed down a seat mat and then helped her sit.
XunMi welcomed her husband’s treatment, smiling up at him sweetly.
Ling Chen watched the two, a bit jealous. He had really forgotten about Cheng XinYao. But when he got Xu Yi’s list of names, he remembered. Although he didn’t like that Cheng XinYao kept chasing Ming ge and didn’t allow others to get close to him, she was still a member that Ming ge saw potential in. But now, he had found his one true love.
Ling Chen honestly felt that XunMi was the one that was most compatible with his boss. She was beautiful, strong, and had a good personality. Most importantly, she treated Ming ge well. After these months of knowing her, he truly did see XunMi as a sister-in-law.
“Ling Chen, I suddenly realized you’ve learned how to drag things out. If you have something to say, say it. If it’s something I can’t listen in on, then just take Ye MingYe off to the side. Don’t’ worry about me. I’m not that petty.” XunMi spoke out. She thought that Ling Chen was hesitating because it was a secret. But she didn’t mind. As long as her husband remained the person that solely doted on her, she was fine with secrets.
Ling Chen almost wanted to run and hide when he saw the open-mindedness in her face.
However, Ye MingYe’s face hardened. The gaze he used to look at him made Ling Chen unable to say a word. But he quickly sputtered out, “No, boss. Sister in law, you’re misunderstanding. I’m not trying to keep secrets between you two. It’s just, it’s just…” Seeing the two both looking at him, Ling Chen choked.
“It’s just that Cheng XinYao is also here. She said that Ming ge was hers. She won’t let anyone steal you away. Before we all separated, she liked to stick to Ming ge. She refused to separate. Later, Xu Yi had to say that Ming ge didn’t like weak people so that she would leave to strengthen her skills. That way, she would be able to gain Ming ge’s admiration. By coming back, she probably feels like she’s now worthy so…” He didn’t finish. Everyone knew what he meant.
XunMi held a spoon in one hand and a bowl in another, peering over the edge to look at Ye MingYe. Her eyes were clean, making her judgement clear to see.
Ye MingYe immediately began explaining himself. “Mi’er. You have to believe your husband. I only love you. I don’t even remember who Cheng XinYao is. Don’t eat vinegar. Eating vinegar is bad for you. Here, eat congee instead. I know you love preserved egg and pork congee. Also, there’s cold mixed cuc.u.mber!” He took the bowl out of XunMi’s hand so that he could personally feed his wife. XunMi looked unwilling but quickly opened her mouth. But he shouldn’t expect her to forgive him so easily. Anyone met with this kind of situation would be upset too. Yesterday night that had just been rolling in bed together. The next morning, you find out that you have a love rival. Based on the information, it seemed like the love rival was pretty persistent too. It immediately sounded like an annoying situation.
She didn’t like hearing that others liking her husband meant that she had good taste. She would rather her husband be more average so that people would stop coveting him. But of course, there was nothing she could do about it. ┑(￣Д￣)┍
Come on, tell me. What’s the situation around Cheng XinYao?” After finishing her congee, XunMi relaxed into a sofa, unwilling to move.
Ye MingYe placed a pillow on the sofa so that XunMi could lay down flat and that he could ma.s.sage her.“Before the apocalypse, we were training a few people. I selected a few out of the bunch to do other tasks. I really don’t have much memory of Cheng XinYao. But since it’s a woman, I do recall a few things about her. Mi’er at that time I…en, because of a few things, I didn’t even have those kind of thoughts. I didn’t pay much attention to things like this, not until I met you.” When he had first rebirthed, his head was a chaotic mess. He had been wrapped in hatred. He had begun planning immediately. Originally, he was going to head to S city with his team. But two days later, he ran into Ling Chen. They saved him and wasted a few days on the road. In the process, everyone was able to become closer. In those days, Ling Chen saw Cheng XinYao’s feelings. He hadn’t thought much about it then, as those feelings were irrelevant to him.
XunMi pulled Ye MingYe in for a hug. “I knew my husband was the best. Kisses.” She smiled and changed to topic. “Since they are arriving today, then I have to meet them too.”
After all, these names hadn’t been in the original book. Who’s b.u.t.terfly wings had caused the plot to take a turn?
“Of course. Take a nap first. When they’re here, I’ll wake you.” Ye MingYe carried XunMi up and headed up the stairs. When she finally fell asleep, he came back down.
Ling Chen was already sitting quietly on the sofa waiting for his boss’ scolding. “Boss, please have mercy. Sister in law was bound to find out when Cheng XinYao arrived here.” Ling Chen cried.
Ye MingYe glanced at Ling Chen and rubbed his chin, thinking about other things. “Anything from Ming family?”
“Huh? Ming family? Ohohoh, they want to use Ming Mei to get in good favor with those old men. And then they want to replace them so that they become the most powerful seat in this base.”
