Fortunately for Mu Yazhe, he had two capable assistants.

  However, Lu Jinyu and Jiang Shen could only suffer in silence.

  Lu Jinyu lamented silently.

  Yun Shishi could only relent. She reluctantly let him hold her hand and lead her back to the bedroom.

  He carried her to the bed and covered her with a blanket.

  When he got into bed, she suddenly turned around and hugged him.

  “Thank you.”


  “Hmm?” He raised his eyebrows in surprise.

  She said, “Have I been constantly unreasonable during this period?”


  Without waiting for him to speak, she continued in frustration, “I don’t know why my temper has been getting more and more difficult to control in the recent times! If I don’t get my way, I’ll feel anxious and get angry. Do I always make you mad?”


  “No!”


  Mu Yazhe smiled. “Madam is in a special situation now, so I should be more accommodating.”


  “Are you implying that even if I were to be unreasonable, you won’t stoop to my level?” she teased.

  He knew only too well that she was deliberately setting a trap!

  However, he was a smart person and knew that a straight “yes” might upset her.

  Hence, he asked seriously, “How could you be unreasonable? Madam is wise, gentle, and virtuous. My heart only aches for her!”


  Although Yun Shishi knew that he was only saying that to make her happy, it was sweet like honey to her all the same!

  “Alright, stop fooling around already.”


  The man pulled her into his embrace and reminded her, “Go to sleep now.”


  As she lay in his arms, she suddenly felt uneasy.

  “Shouldn’t this be the happiest moment of my life? Why do I feel uneasy?”


  Mu Yazhe raised an eyebrow, puzzled by her words.

  “I’m so happy right now. I don’t know what the future will be like, but this is probably my happiest moment! It’s so blissful that it’s almost unreal……”


  “Not really!”


  He caressed her hair gently. “I’ll make you even happier! I’ll give you the best of everything.”


  She pursed her lips and fell asleep peacefully against his chest.

  Before long, she began to snore softly.

  “Asleep already?”


  The highly amused man rubbed her face. “Pig.”


  Hence, hugging her, he fell asleep contentedly.

  However, not long after this episode, Yun Shishi’s resentment towards the ice cream matter resurfaced!

  The weather was getting hotter.

  As though deliberately inviting hatred, Hua Jin ordered a large batch of ice cream to be delivered to their home. Haagen-Dazs, Eighth Joy, Cute, and many other kinds.

  When Youyou got home and opened the fridge filled with ice cream, he had a fright. He could not help wondering if Hua Jin had done it on purpose.

  However, Hua Jin said that the weather was getting hotter by the day. If he had to go out to buy food, he would simply melt in the sun just walking down the sidewalks. It would be better to just order a big batch.

  Youyou thought that made sense.

  Every afternoon, Hua Jin and the two little lads would sit at the doorway to the backyard and chat while eating ice cream.

  Yun Shishi would sit on the other side, holding her glass of tepid plain water, full of resentment.

  “I want some too!”
