The next day, Yu Lili awoke at 6 a.m. She had just changed into her gym clothes when she heard a knock on the door.
Jiao Ziqing was already in a casual and beautiful sportswear. She looked very healthy and sporty.
As Yu Lili saw Jiao Ziqing in this manner, she was inwardly relieved that early morning exercises were part of her routine. Otherwise, it would have made for an awkward interaction.
“Good morning, Mom,” Yu Lili smiled naturally. Her greeting carried no hint of unease whatsoever.
Jiao Ziqing gave her a onceover and acknowledged it. She turned and said, “Hurry. You still need to come back and prepare breakfast. It’s Nanny Zhang’s off day today, so we’re depending on you for all three meals.”
Yu Lili’s smile widened. There was not an ounce of resentment. In fact, happiness radiated from the bottom of her heart as she nodded her head. “OK!”
Seeing how willing and happy Yu Lili was to shoulder the responsibility without complaint made Jiao Ziqing’s mood improved considerably. But, she didn’t reveal any of her genuine emotions on her face. She turned and began to run as she called out, “Time to get going!”
“Alright!” Yu Lili followed closely behind. Her steps were neither fast nor slow, just a step behind Jiao Ziqing the whole way.
The villa estate that Jiao Ziqing resided in was in one of the more suburban regions in Kingstown. Most of the residents there were either older, wealthy people or the parents of the wealthy.
Throughout the run, Jiao Ziqing met many familiar faces. She greeted them all along the way.
Many curious eyes landed on Yu Lili. Everyone she met would ask, “Who is this?”
Jiao Ziqing would always smile and reply, “This is my son’s wife.”
She didn’t describe her as her daughter-in-law, but all the neighbors who pa.s.sed them were made aware Yu Lili’s significant status.
They ran for half an hour before returning home. Yu Lili got to preparing breakfast after was.h.i.+ng her hands.
It was fortunate that she had been used to being independent since youth. She was adept at cooking. In thirty minutes, breakfast for four was ready.
When she returned to the room, she found that Ou Ming wasn’t on the bed. The comforter on the bed was in a heap. It was evident that he had just woken up not long ago.
Yu Lili stepped forward and touched the bed. It was still warm to the touch. She smoothened out the comforter. Just as she finished making the bed, she felt a movement behind her.
She could tell the person behind had deliberately lightened his footsteps and was creeping up on her. A smile spread over Yu Lili’s face. She suddenly turned around and yelled, “Boo!”
Ou Ming had intended to give her a scare, but the tables were turned when she turned around without any warning.
Yu Lili saw Ou Ming’s expression as he got a fright. She burst out laughing. She pointed at him and asked pitilessly, “You wanted to scare me?”
Ou Ming clenched his teeth and reached both hands out to push her onto the bed. He moved his hand on her waist and with a faux-fierce expression and asked, “You dare to laugh at me? Hmm?”
Yu Lili was easily ticklish. She lost control as he tickled her. Guffawing out loud, and at the same time being unable to bear the onslaught of his tickles, she caught his hand. She begged between laughter, “No… No more…”
“Whom are you speaking to?” Ou Ming asked.
“To you! Ah… Hahaha! Stop tickling me! I can’t take it!” Yu Lili squealed.
“Who am I? What are you supposed to call me? If you get it right, I’ll stop tickling you.” Ou Ming’s tone was full of laughter. At the same time, his threat was real.
Yu Lili understood immediately what he was getting at. She turned to trap his hand between her stomach and the bed. “Hubby! Hubby… Please stop.”
Ou Ming stopped and rolled atop her. He covered her mouth with his own. “You’re to call me that from now on, do you hear me?”
