291: Chapter 205 Good Mother-in-law VS Good Husband_4 291: Chapter 205 Good Mother-in-law VS Good Husband_4 “I’ll go myself.” Chuxia pushed him away with an uncomfortable expression on her face, thinking, by accompanying her like this, what would others think of them?
Zhou Mikang, however, held onto her hand tightly and wouldn’t let go, “I’ll take you to your room and then co down.”
“It’s not like I don’t know which room is mine.” Chuxia muttered under her breath, having caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye: two of her sisters-in-law and Zeng ili were huddled together whispering and laughing.
Chuxia would walk backward if anyone dared to say they weren’t talking about her!
Indeed, the room had been tidied up anew, and the sheets on the bed had been changed to the sa set in purple-red.
The thought of her mother-in-law’s question made Chuxia’s face unconsciously heat up.
“What did mom want to talk to you about?”
Just then, Zhou Mikang asked the question that had been on Chuxia’s mind all along, making her face turn even redder.
Zhou Mikang eyed her with so bewildernt, “What’s the matter, are you hot?” While saying this, he reached out to feel her forehead, “Mm, it is a bit hot.
But look at you, you seem like you’re blushing?”
It wasn’t seeming like it, it was a fact!
His fussing dissipated Chuxia’s bashfulness.
She glared at him, “Hurry up and go.”
“Tell first, what did mom say to you?
Otherwise, I’m not going down.”
How co she never knew that besides being domineering, Commander Tongzi could also be so petulant?
“It’s nothing.” Chuxia was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so she chose her words carefully, “Mom was just worried I wouldn’t be comfortable in this family and told to treat it like my own ho in Dalin Village.”
“She only said that?” Zhou Mikang was skeptical as he stared at her, “Then why did she have to sneak you into the room to talk?
Couldn’t she have said it outside just the sa?”
“Anyway, that’s the general idea; there was so lead-up to it.” Chuxia said while pushing him, “If you don’t leave now, I’m going to be really upset.
I an, do you care about my reputation or not?
It doesn’t matter for you as a man, but I’m a woman, a new bride at that.
If people get the wrong idea, how can I face anyone in the Zhou family in the future?”
“Alright, I’m going down now.” Zhou Mikang frowned and snorted, “I’ve only been here for two minutes; do you think that’s what’s going on, that sothing can be solved so quickly?”
Even though Chuxia could guess the implication in his words, she didn’t dare to rashly respond.
He was at the pri age of vigorous energy, and if she actually provoked him, she’d be the one to suffer the consequences.
She smiled and waved him off, “Your cousins don’t seem too pleased with , so isn’t this also to prevent them from making wild guesses and spreading rumors?
When you want to condemn soone, any excuse will do, right?”
“You sure have a lot of theories.” Zhou Mikang helped her pull back the blanket, “Take off your clothes and sleep.
In an hour, I’ll have Xiao Si co to wake you up.
It’s uncomfortable to oversleep.”
Chuxia quickly said, “I’ll just set an alarm.”
“The alarm sound is too loud, and if you’re in a deep sleep, it’s not comfortable to be startled awake.” Zhou Mikang said, bending down to untie Chuxia’s shoelaces, startling her so much that she hastily withdrew her foot, “I can do it, I’ll do it.”
“Behave!” Zhou Mikang grabbed her left foot, took off the shoe, then reached for the right foot and removed that shoe, “I’m only spoiling you for these few days.
After that, even if you want to, I won’t do it.”
“Can’t you speak properly?” Chuxia said with a twist of her mouth.
Her tone wasn’t gloomy, but her eyes were full of emotion.
She dared not claim to fully understand this man’s pride, but from what she did know, she could certainly affirm that he had no patience to wait on anyone like this.
But now, he was doing all this for her…
Since arriving in this era, besides her parents, her grandma’s family, and Xiaoqiong’s family, the squad leader Tongzi might just beco another person who truly cared for her.
“Don’t be too touched.
I’m just afraid you’re too clumsy to untie your shoelaces,” he said awkwardly, flinging the words out before turning to leave.
At the doorway, he instructed, “No need to set the alarm clock.
I’ll have Zhou Xiangping co wake you.”
Chuxia laughed and waved a paw at him: “Got it.”
She slept a deep, secure nap—so secure that she placed her heart completely at ease.
When Zhou Xiangping gently nudged her awake, she had a mont of disorientation, unsure of where she was.
As her eyes refocused, she realized it was her first day as a newlywed and sheepishly smiled at Zhou Xiangping: “Have all the guests left?”
Zhou Xiangping pursed her lips: “Most of them have, but soone quite rare has co.”
“Who is it?
They’re not here for , are they?” Chuxia asked this question purely to make conversation, aware that despite Zhou Xiangping’s kindness, they weren’t close, so she felt the need for so polite chit-chat.
To her surprise, Zhou Xiangping nodded: “Yes, they’re here for you.
It’s Ye iru’s grandfather.
If you don’t like it, you don’t have to see him.
After all, he insisted on seeing you, but Third Brother turned him away.”
Chuxia just laughed: “I don’t mind.
What happened before has nothing to do with .
Now that I’m married to Mikang, he isn’t going to co and criticize to elevate his granddaughter, is he?”
“That might be too much…” Zhou Xiangping contemplated before sighing, “Actually, Grandpa Ye isn’t that bad.
Back then, because of that foreign man coming to find Ye iru, he kicked Ye iru out of the Ye Family.
So many years have passed, and he never allowed Ye iru to return to the Ye Family, claiming it was to give an explanation to the Zhou family.
I guess he wants to et you perhaps to have a look at the relationship between you and Third Brother.
To put it more bluntly, it’s like he’s trying to alleviate his own guilt.
If you and Third Brother have a good relationship, then he can allow his granddaughter to return openly.
Of course, I could be overthinking it, but I believe my guess is not far from the truth.”
Chuxia looked at Zhou Xiangping in surprise.
This sister-in-law might co off as careless, but she was actually quite ticulous.
Reflecting on it, wasn’t it just as she had analyzed?
Otherwise, why would the two families, who hadn’t interacted for years, show up on the day of Mikang’s wedding with Old Master Ye himself coming over?
