Good temper?
She looks down, her lips forming a faint smile that is not quite a smile.
He has spoken little of his mother, but based on the few that he said, they have a good relationship with each other.
Even if she tells him what happened 5 years ago, he probably won’t believe her.
Her heart suddenly feels messy.
She never thought she would really end up marrying him. Everything happened so fast that she feels like she has been pushed into marrying him.
The biggest problem in their marriage is now out.
She will never co-exist peacefully with his mother.
One can get over things, can even forget forget them. But some things are exceptions to that.
She lowers her head with a mocking look in her eyes, “That’s good, then.”
Si Zheng Ting turns around and leaves.
After he leaves the room, Zhuang Nai Nai perks her ears to hear where he has gone to. When she hears the sound of the car running outside, she heaves a sigh of relief. She gets up and goes downstairs to eat.
There is a peculiar expression on the housekeeper’s face when he sees her. In the end, he simply shakes his head, saying nothing.
When Zhuang Nai Nai reaches the dining table, a maid serves her breakfast.
After eating, the idle her then goes to the garden next to the house to walk around.
The garden is big. Although there are not that many flowers, it is still so pretty and refreshing. The view is so pretty that she momentarily forgets all of her problems.
As for Si Zheng Ting, he takes out his phone while driving. He calls Lady Ding.
“The cake is done, son. When will you get here?” the other voice sounds so happy.
Si Zheng Ting’s eyes dim down a little before he apologetically says, “Mom….”
“Stop! My entire body feels ill when I hear you calling me ‘mom’!”
Si Zheng Ting pauses for a moment before helplessly saying, “Mom.”
“Alright, speak. What did you do to wrong me?” Lady Ding feels even more helpless than her son.
Si Zheng Ting: “She is ill, we will not be coming today.”
His mother’s voice becomes anxious, “Is she carrying….. Eh, probably not, you two have only gotten together. Why is she ill then? Don’t tell me…..”
Lady Ding starts cooking up some things inside her head before she proceeds to scold Si Zheng Ting, “Son-ah, mother is not trying to scold you, but you two are new in this, you need to exercise restrain! Did you hurt her? Why can’t men be a little gentle towards women? I actually thought that you ‘couldn’t’, but now, I see that I was wrong… You….”
Black lines appear on Si Zheng Ting’s head, “Mom!”
Lady Ding: “Stop calling me ‘mom’! I will still scold you this time, even if you call me that! Women are made of water, fragile and weak! You–”
Si Zheng Ting cannot bear to listen any longer, “She has a fever.”
“Fever? You men are too rough when doing the deed! You should have covered her with quilt!”
Si Zheng Ting: ……….. “I am hanging up.”
He drives to the nearest pharmacy and goes to the attendant, “Please give me all medications that you have for fever.”
The attendant: ………………

Zhuang Nai Nai is sitting on a swing, letting the morning light hits her. She is too absorbed with her leisure time that she fails to hear the sound of the car entering the manor’s gate.
There is the sound of footsteps behind her. She thought it is one of the maids, bringing in fruits or something, so she does not really pay attention to the incoming person.
She suddenly hears the sound of Si Zheng Ting’s deep voice saying, “Why are you here?”
serene: I cannot believe I forgot to post yesterday. It didn’t register me that yesterday was Monday. Apologies, guys!
