Su Yue woke up groggy the next day, only to realize that the man was still sleeping beside her .
His deep breathing filled her ears and it made her feel indescribably at ease .
This was the first time since they returned from Country M that he was still sleeping when she woke up . What more, he was in a deep sleep .
But… why were his eyebrows furrowed?
Su Yue flipped over and propped her chin up with her arms . She pursed her lips as she stared at his eyebrows in confusion .
Uncle Ming, what happened?
He hugged her so tightly last night . Throughout the night, he gave off the feeling that he was very insecure .
What had happened? Was he dreaming of it?
Su Yue gently rubbed the area between his eyebrows, trying to ease his troubles .
“Yueyue,” Ming Ansheng greeted sleepily in a nasal voice, suddenly opening his eyes .
Su Yue froze . She retracted her arm, a face of apology . “I woke you up . ”
She chided herself . He woke up early every day and he could finally sleep in, but she had to wake him up .
Ming Ansheng pursed his lips and shook his head . He then affectionately ruffled Su Yue’s already messy hair .
He gently asked, “Are you hungry?”
He wound his arms around her in one swift motion .
“Nope . ” Su Yue shook her head . She peered up at him and blinked . “Uncle Ming, you… you don’t have to work today?”
Actually, she wanted to know what had happened .
But she changed her mind . She tried asking yesterday but he didn’t answer .
She thought he would tell her when and if he wanted to .
She shouldn’t force it out of him, lest he become more troubled about it .
Ming Ansheng looked down at her and smiled gently . “I wanted to sleep in with you just this once . ”
Su Yue was ecstatic to hear it . “Is that okay?”
He had been very busy since he returned from Country M . Even when he returned home at night, he would be buried in work until midnight .
He had already abandoned his work and accompanied her in Country M for so many days . If he were to miss out on his work again, would his grandfather dislike her even more?
‘What can you help him in?’
‘At least Meiduo was a strong and independent woman who could support him in his career…’
Ming Zhongsheng’s taunts filled her ears once more . Her face fell .
Although his words were crude, they had some sense to it .
Her third brother had her third sister-in-law as his capable assistant, and she never gave him any troubles in their personal lives .
Uncle Ming needed a capable wife, too .
But she couldn’t do anything for him . She couldn’t even cook a proper meal and he had to provide her three meals a day .
She was as good as useless .
Ming Ansheng gently smiled . “Don’t worry . Nobody can fire me . ”
He rubbed his chin gently on Su Yue’s high forehead .
His slight stubble tickled her and she shunned away . “It tickles . ”
She forcefully pushed him away . She looked at him and snorted . “Although you’re the boss, you can’t go to work as you please . I don’t want anyone calling me a vixen . ”
His grandfather was already very displeased with her . If he were to abandon his work because of her again, the old man would dislike her even more .
Although she really wanted to spend more time with him at home…
Aish .
