Behind them, the Head Butler Si Ming was shocked beyond belief. He never thought that his young master would find such a strong girl for himself. He was feeling emotional when he saw how she dragged Ge Chen out. He quickly bowed and followed after them.

  He saw how madam and the young master had suffered because of Ge Chuan Li and Bai Yue. He felt guilty that he couldn’t do anything for his madam and young master. If it wasn’t for the Elder of the Ge Family’s silence, he would have protested long ago. He was still an employee after all. He prayed every day for his young master’s happiness.

  He thought that this little girl was a blessing from Lord Buddha. This little angel was sent for his young master to save him from the darkness and to take him to the light. He was happy and he blessed this little girl with all his heart.

  Xue Lin halted at the entrance seeing Ming Yu and Louis standing beside the car. They looked a little nervous. She narrowed her eyes in understanding. ’They heard everything I just said.’


  Of course, they did. They followed Ge Chen and Xue Lin and when they entered the house, they heard how mercilessly she berated those nasty people without restraint.

  When they heard how she scolded that shameless woman in front of all those employees, Ming Yu snickered. "She is savage."

  Louise shivered. "She is scary." He promised himself that he would never become her enemy.

  When the two of them saw the couple coming out, they flinched. They didn’t dare to look at Xue Lin and averted their gaze.

  Ge Chen tugged her hand. "Let’s go." He opened the door of the car for her. He let her enter first then he entered. Ming Yu and Louis also got inside. Ming Yu asked, "Where are we going first?"

  "Let’s drop in A City." Ge Chen quietly answered. He wanted Lin to meet his grandparents. Then he looked at Xue Lin. "You don’t mind, do you?"

  Xue Lin replied, "I don’t. But next time, let me know beforehand. I will have to prepare myself."

  Ge Chen’s eyebrow lifted slightly as if he was surprised. Afterward, he said, "I’m sorry. We are going to meet my grandparents. I will tell you my plans in the future and ask for your opinions, and thank you for supporting me." He gently squeezed her hand.

  Only then Xue Lin noticed that they had been intertwining their hands from the moment she pulled him out of the house. She swiftly took her hand away. She wasn’t bothered about what he felt. She replied quickly, "That’s what I should do."

  She closed her eyes and tried to take deep and slow breaths. Since she lost her cool back then, her heart was beating faster, and her pulse quickened due to sudden excitement. A racing heart isn’t good for the body. She will lose her energy if that happens often.

  She was resting her head on the back of the seat when she heard her husband telling her, "Please don’t do what you think you should do as a wife. Be the way you want to. Don’t change yourself if you think you should do it but you don’t want to."

  Xue Lin was still closing her eyes. She asked him, "But aren’t you doing what you should do? Are you doing what you want for you?"

  Ge Chen calmly turned to face her. "What do you mean?" His grey eyes were full of curiosity.

  Xue Lin asked him back, "You aren’t used to taking orders, are you? And you are not used to sharing your plans with others either."

  Ge Chen’s eyes started to smile. "Why do you think so?"

  "It’s too obvious." Xue Lin didn’t explain the details. Her mouth was already hurting from talking to long. She wanted to stay quiet as much as possible. Well, he did tell her to do what she wanted to do after all.

  Ge Chen’s actions were pretty obvious. Xue Lin observed him closely. He talked less with others and never explained anything to them. He slightly greeted the chauffeur, Head Butler, and even his friends. They were all used to his commanding attitude, such as: what he wanted to do next. They didn’t complain and obeyed him. Though he tried to act like a perfect husband by telling her that they would meet his father, he forgot to tell her his next plan. He didn’t even ask her opinion about any matter.

  They say old habits die hard.

  Xue Lin smirked. "Thank you." She mumbled softly. ’My husband is trying his best to be a good partner. I should at least give him a hand.’


  Ge Chen didn’t know what made her happy but this was the first time he saw her relax and happy mood. Although she wasn’t grinning ear to ear, her expression said it all. As long as she’s happy, he’s happy too.

  Xue Lin tried to take some rest. Her heart was feeling lighter after venting her anger on the Ge Family. It felt good that she was able to vent it on the right person.

  Suddenly she remembered that she was with three men in a car. Her body tensed. ’There is no way I can sleep now.’ She took out her cell phone and started to play with it.

  Ge Chen was surprised that she wasn’t going to rest. He thought that she was trying to sleep. He couldn’t guess why she had a sudden change of heart. "Won’t you take some rest? It will be a four hours journey."

  Xue Lin mumbled, "It’s alright. Just stop in front of a good restaurant at lunchtime."

  Louise gulped. ’Do I really have to see her gobbling up more than twenty pieces of pastries again?’ Last time at the pastry shop he saw what a glutton Xue Lin was. He nearly puked in the restaurant. He had no idea that a small body could take so much sugar and calories. He thought, ’If she is used to eating like that then her body is one of the seven wonders.’


  The experience he had that day, he didn’t want to experience that ever again.
