Seeing Madam Bai trying to please Ling Shuo as she talked about the recent happenings in the South City, Jiujiu rolled her eyes in her heart.
Madam Bai was an adult. Did she really think that Ling Shuo would not pursue the matter of Bai Yannan dumping Fang Xiuzhu after marrying Liu Ye? Did she really think that a woman like her, who was abandoned by the Bai family, could make up for Ling Shuo's face? How naive.
Jiujiu was not favored in the Bai family. At this moment, Madam Bai was only talking to Ling Shuo. Jiujiu sat aside as before, quietly watching Madam Bai talking to Ling Shuo.
Seeing Jiujiu's silent look, Ling Shuo felt particularly uncomfortable in his heart.
For the first seven times, the bride would usually stay at her mother's house for a night.
In the evening, after dinner, in order to please Ling Shuo, the whole Bai family naturally came to the table.
Of course, the newly married Bai Yannan and Liu Ye also sat at the table.
However, the two people who had stirred up a storm in Nancheng for the sake of their marriage didn't look as sweet as when they were married when they sat at the table. Bai Yannan looked impatient, while Liu Ye looked aggrieved.
Even though Jiujiu knew that Bai Yannan and Liu Ye did not have a good ending, she did not expect that the two people had begun to drift apart from this time.
It had been less than three months since the two of them got married.
It was said that newlyweds would be as sweet as honey after half a year of marriage. However, the two of them started to resent each other after only three months of marriage. It was really surprising. The shelf life of their love was really too short.
After complaining for a while in her heart, Jiujiu pretended that she did not see anything and served Ling Shuo.
Seeing Jiujiu serving Ling Shuo like a little maid, Madam Bai showed a satisfied smile on her face. She looked at Ling Shuo and apologized, "My Jiujiu is clumsy. Please forgive her, Master Ling."
Jiujiu was as proud as a rose full of thorns in front of him, but in front of the Bai family, she was like a little hedgehog. If you moved her little head slightly, she would shrink back. If he did not see it with his own eyes, Ling Shuo would never be willing to believe that a person could have such a big contrast.
However, the bigger the contrast, the more interested he was.
In response to Madam Bai's words, Ling Shuo nodded slightly to show that he understood and did not say much.
After dinner, Jiujiu watched Bai Yannan and Liu Ye go upstairs. Then, she followed Ling Shuo to Jiujiu's previous room.
Because Ling Shuo might come back, the Bai family carefully cleaned up Jiujiu's room and added a lot of things that were not there before, especially the bedding, which was all brand new. The floor was covered with a thick, fluffy, and soft woolen carpet that was like a cloud. One could not even see the instep when stepping on it. It was really enjoyable.
After Jiujiu sighed that the Bai family would curry favor with Ling Shuo, she looked at the old dressing table and laughed.
The Bai family thought of so many things that Ling Shuo would use, but they did not think of the things that she would use.
He was so dedicated to Ling Shuo, an outsider, but he was so indifferent to his own daughter. It was really funny.
Following Jiujiu's gaze, Ling Shuo also saw the old dressing table with the paint peeling. He stepped up to Jiujiu and said, "I did you a big favor. How are you going to thank me?"
Ling Shuo was referring to him and Jiujiu coming back.
Hearing Ling Shuo say that he did her a big favor, Jiujiu rolled her eyes and curled her lips. She said, "You are their son-in-law. This is what you should do."
In other words, this was what he should do. Don't try to use this to threaten her.
Ling Shuo did not continue to explain. He just lowered his head and looked quietly into Jiujiu's eyes. He said, "I think you should thank me."
Being stared at by Ling Shuo's dark eyes, Jiujiu was instantly speechless.
Jiujiu pursed her lips, lowered her eyelashes, and walked to the bed without saying a word.
There was only one bed in the room. Although it was a double bed, she was used to sleeping on the big bed in Ling Shuo's room. This double bed, which used to be particularly comfortable to sleep on, had become small.
Moreover, when she thought of Ling Shuo's habit of hugging people when he slept, Jiujiu's forehead was full of black lines. She did not want to be treated like a cuddling bear by Ling Shuo at all.
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at Ling Shuo. She wondered how likely it was that she would persuade Ling Shuo to sleep on the floor like a gentleman tonight.
After various calculations in her mind, Jiujiu came to the conclusion that the possibility of Ling Shuo sleeping on the floor was even lower than the possibility of Mrs. Bai giving up on persuading Ling Shuo. After that, she chose to remain silent.
After changing into the new pajamas prepared by the Bai Family, Jiujiu lay on the bed and covered herself with the quilt. She said to Ling Shuo with a vigilant look, "The bed is a little small tonight. Don't hug me anymore."
They slept in separate beds every night. However, the experience of hugging each other when they woke up made Jiujiu extremely depressed.
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Ling Shuo's eyes darkened. He looked at Jiujiu meaningfully.
Being stared at by Ling Shuo, Jiujiu subconsciously looked away. She did not dare to look into Ling Shuo's eyes.
Ling Shuo took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and lay down on the bed.
Ling Shuo was tall, had long legs, and long arms and legs. Even if he was lying flat, he could occupy two-thirds of the bed. Unless Jiujiu slept under the bed, the two of them would definitely be next to each other.
Jiujiu did not want to sleep on the floor. She could only keep hypnotizing herself that it was not Ling Shuo who was touching her, but a dog. A dog, a dog, a dog, a dog.
Under her own hypnosis, Jiujiu quickly fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Ling Shuo did not hug Jiujiu. Instead, he sat on the bed and looked at Jiujiu with an unreadable expression. He asked, "Do you want to raise a dog?"
Jiujiu was speechless.
After getting out of bed and having breakfast at the Bai Family's house, Jiujiu and Ling Shuo went back home.
After going to the Bai Family's house with Jiujiu, Ling Shuo's vacation ended and he became very busy.
Ling Shuo's busyness was reflected in the fact that he could only return home once every three to five days. Furthermore, the time he returned was not fixed. Basically, he could only lie on the bed with Jiujiu once a month.
Jiujiu did not feel anything about Ling Shuo's absence at all. In fact, she felt even more at ease than before.
Because of Ling Shuo's warning to the Ling Family, they treated her very well. Not only did they serve her well, but they also gave her more pocket money than she did at the Bai Family's house.
Jiujiu had money and time. Every day, in addition to reading, writing, and painting at home, she would go out to play mahjong, go shopping, and listen to opera.
In the previous world, Jiujiu did not like to listen to opera. In her opinion, a group of people with colorful faces stood on the stage and sang those unknown tunes. It was extremely torturous.
But now, after listening to opera a few times, Jiujiu inexplicably discovered the beauty of opera. Sometimes, she could even listen to it for a whole day. It was really amazing.
