Ge Chen noticed his grandfatherâs expression and smiled a little. "Thatâs wonderful news. Why donât we go out and celebrate tonight? From tomorrow, itâll be impossible."
Su Fengfei overcame his sadness and asked, "Impossible? Why is that?"
Ge Chen explained, "I called grandmother and told her that I married you. She packed her luggage and bought a ticket. She will reach by tomorrow. After that, I think she will start to keep us busy with the reception party."
Xue Lin tilted her head. "What reception party?" She couldnât think of any occasion aside from their marriage. But it had already been three days since they got married.
Her husband answered, "Our marriage reception party."
âHow useless!â Xue Lin protested, "But thatâs just a waste of time and money."
Su Fengfei said, "Lass, do you think the Su Familyâs only heir will have a wedding without a reception? Our prestige is at stake!"
âRich people have so many things to do. They are so powerful and they still think about useless things. If someone doesnât want a party, no matter what others say they shouldnât do it. I canât believe powerful people canât do whatever they want with their life. So, whatâs the point of being so powerful.â Xue Lin agreed, "I see. Iâm looking forward to it then."
Ge Chen noticed that she wasnât pleased. He changed the subject saying, "Itâs time for lunch. How long are you two going to stay here?"
Su Fengfei looked at his wristwatch and exclaimed, "Oh, I didnât notice at all! Lass, letâs go back."
"Hmm." Xue Lin nodded and got up.
That night, at Ge Chenâs bedroom, Xue Lin stubbornly refused to be in the same room as her husband. "I donât care what you say and what others think. Iâm not sick and I donât want to sleep with others."
Ge Chen didnât change his expression. He calmly asked, "Am I one of those others?"
Xue Lin grumpily said, "I only want to sleep with the first person and the first person is me. So, besides me, I donât want to sleep with anyone else."
Ge Chen guessed that she was upset because of certain reasons. He asked, "Are you upset that I told grandmother about our marriage?"
Xue Lin frowned. She refused to look at him. "Why would I be upset about that?"
Ge Chen said, "Ever since I told you that, you seemed a bit gloomy."
Xue Lin shook her head. That was part of it but thatâs not all. "I donât want to waste my time here. Itâs been three days since we got married and we havenât been to B City. We both have no job. I donât know if you care about your job since you have your motherâs company, but I do care that Iâm unemployed."
Ge Chen shook his head. "Iâm not in charge of motherâs company."
Xue Lin paused. She didnât think he would let others run his motherâs business. She asked out of curiosity, "Then who is?"
Ge Chen said mysteriously. "A friend of mine. You will meet him sooner than you think."
Xue Lin frowned as she looked at him in the eyes. "Iâve no interest in meeting your friend. I want to know when I will be able to go to B City."
Ge Chen replied, "Grandmother will make the decision tomorrow."
Upon hearing that, Xue Linâs mood worsened. "You have a habit of listening to other people a lot. Itâs annoying! Why do you have a big head over your neck if you keep listening to others? Useless piece of cup!" Xue Lin looked annoyed and averted her gaze. Itâs better to look at the moon than the face of a man who only listens to others.
"!!!" Ge Chen blinked. âDid she just scold me? She did, didnât she? Useless piece of cup?!â After a long period of silence, he asked, "Why do you think I always listen to people?"
Xue Lin didnât want to speak but she forced herself, "Itâs simple. When your fishing grandpa told you to go back to that mansion, you went there without a second thought."
Ge Chenâs eyebrows lifted. "Fishing grandpa? You mean my maternal grandpa?!"
Xue Lin wanted to slice him in anger. "Do you have another grandpa?"
âGrandfather, if you only know how unusual nickname you just got today, what would you do?â Ge Chen pondered.
Xue Lin kept going on, "Also, when you went there that mother-son duo bullied you, am I correct?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He quietly answered, "...You are..."
She barked at him, "And you said nothing, am I right?"
"...You are...." His voice could hardly be heard.
âThat damn old geezer! He did nothing to help my one and only husband! Iâll chew him next time I see him!â Xue Linâs body started to shake. She said in a seething manner, "Are? You always listen to others, you never express what you want, and then you get hurt. After that, no one is there to help you. Iâm sorry but I canât sleep in the same room as someone who is a masochist."
She stood up and pushed the motionless Ge Chen. When she pushed him out of the door, she quickly closed the door. She looked like a scardy cat who was scared of her husband forcing inside the room.
Looking at the closed door for a long time, Ge Chen finally realized that he was kicked out of his own bedroom by his own wife. His mysterious grey eyes narrowed as he silently gazed at the tightly closed door. His eyes carried a hint of warmth. âYou were mad because I always listen to people... I never imagined that someone would explicitly get mad at me because they realized that I was suffering. "Useless piece of cup"... what a phrase!â He chuckled. âYou want me to act the way I want, do you? I donât mind acting the way I wish. But are you sure that you will be able to handle it, my wife?â His eyes held some hidden emotions.
[A/N: Ge Chen, just bed her, everything will be alright.
Xue Lin: Did you say something Author-san? (piercing glare)
Author: No! I said nothing!] ((°o°))"
