Chapter 184 - 184 184 Mother-in-law Apologizes
?Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Mother-in-law Apologizes Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Mother-in-law Apologizes Sheng Tingyuan carried her into the bedroom and placed her on the bed, “Sleep.”
Ye Chuyi closed her eyes.
She was thinking, if Sheng Tingyuan dared to take any further steps, she would kick him in a certain spot, ensuring he would be scared and never harbor any improper thoughts towards her again.
But she lay down and waited for quite a while without seeing him make a move.
He just lay beside her and covered her with a thin blanket.
After a while, she heard his even breathing and knew he had fallen asleep; only then did she feel at ease and drifted off to sleep herself.
She didn’t know how much time had passed before thirst woke her up again.
As she struggled to sit up and was thinking about going downstairs for water, she suddenly noticed two bottles of mineral water on the bedside table.
She couldn’t help but look back at the sleeping Sheng Tingyuan. He was quite considerate, even fetching her water; she just didn’t know when he got it because she didn’t realize he had woken up.
After finishing the water, Ye Chuyi quickly fell back to sleep.
But in her dreams, she felt as though she was in a furnace, and it wasn’t until dawn that the dry and hot feeling subsided.
At 7:30, the alarm went off; Ye Chuyi groped for her phone with bleary eyes to turn off the alarm, but instead of touching her phone, she touched a hand.
She suddenly opened her eyes and then saw Sheng Tingyuan taking her phone and turning off her alarm.
She hesitated and asked, “Did I wake you up?”
“No.”
“I’ll sleep in the next room tomorrow, so I won’t disturb you.”
“How considerate of you.”
“Why do I get the feeling you don’t really mean that compliment?”
“Smart, you figured it out.”
After saying that, Sheng Tingyuan got out of bed and went to freshen up.
Ye Chuyi looked puzzled. So, was he annoyed by her waking him up, or not? Was it considerate or inconsiderate of her not to disturb him?
Men’s minds are as unfathomable as the ocean’s depths!
Ye Chuyi shook her head and went to the bathroom to freshen up as well.
One thing that was good about Sheng Tingyuan was that he always let her use the master bedroom’s bathroom, always going to another room to freshen up himself.
As Ye Chuyi squeezed toothpaste onto her brush and began brushing her teeth, she inadvertently looked up and caught sight of herself in the mirror; she widened her eyes in shock.
What’s happening, why was her face still so red! She looked just like a ripe tomato!
Hadn’t the effects of the medicine worn off? Hadn’t the feeling of heat disappeared?
Was it with such a red face that she had spoken to Sheng Tingyuan just now?
Ye Chuyi felt a bit of panic. She hadn’t seen any abnormality in Sheng Tingyuan’s complexion; so why was hers like this?
She turned on the faucet, scooped up some cold water, and splashed it fiercely on her face.
After washing her face for quite some time, the redness finally receded a bit.
After freshening up, she went downstairs to have breakfast.
But looking at the delicious breakfast spread on the table, she hesitated, afraid to start eating.
Sheng Tingyuan noticed her hesitation, “There’s nothing wrong with the breakfast, go ahead and eat.”
Only then did Ye Chuyi eat with peace of mind.
“I’ll talk to my mom about this; she won’t do such things again. I’m sorry.”
Ye Chuyi nodded; he indeed should talk to her; otherwise, how could they manage if such things happened every day?
…
At noon.
Ye Chuyi received a call from Tang Jin, who sounded apologetic, “Xiaoyi, are you okay? It was mom being too anxious, so I thought of giving you and him a bit of a push. I apologize to you.”
“Tingyuan has also scolded me, and I will respect your way of getting along in the future, not intervening too much.”
Ye Chuyi laughed softly, “Mom, I’m fine, but in the future, you really can’t do this anymore.”
“No more, I promise. Xiaoyi, can you still come over for meals?”
“Of course, as long as you don’t set me up like that again.”
“This is the only time, and the last time, I promise!”
“Then I’ll have to keep coming over to scrounge meals off you!”
“Good, good, that’s wonderful!”
Tang Jin’s spirits lifted, and after chatting with Ye Chuyi for a while, she reluctantly hung up the phone.
She turned to her son who had been supervising her phone call, “Xiaoyi’s not angry, so stop frowning. Otherwise, one might think I owe you money.”
Sheng Tingyuan said indifferently, “Even if she was angry, she wouldn’t show it, and she certainly wouldn’t tear her face with you, her mother-in-law. She gave you ample face, and in return, you drugged her. Is that any way to act as a mother-in-law?”
