Mu Yahze wanted to go sleep at one of his properties but he decided against it. It was better to go home to that woman perhaps he will feel better with someone around than being all alone.He had drank quite alot today.
He got to the house and from outside he saw that the bedroom lights were still on, she's probably still awake.He entered into the living room and everywhere was so quiet, the house keeper must have retired to bed as it was already very late. He rarely visits his matrimonial residence. He went up the stairs to the bedroom.
In the room, Su Qing wasn't really feeling sleepy so she decided to read a book, she was startled when she had noises downstairs, she looked out of the window and saw that Mu Yahze's car was parked outside. What was he doing here? She thought to herself ,she was really excited to see him, she hasn't seen him for a long time now, isn't that ironic, i am his wife but I have the least access to him, she laughed mockingly.
The door opened and Mu Yahze walked in. He saw the petite frame at one corner of the bed sleeping or rather pretending to be sleeping as the lights were still on and knowing her, she wouldn't sleep with the lights on. The bed was so large but she took a very little space.
You can stop pretending, I know you are awake.
Su Qing lay still, how did he know that, she thought she could avoid him by pretending to be sleeping and maybe look at his face when he sleeps off later because he would surely be gone before she woke up tomorrow.
I'm hungry, he said, is there something to eat?
Su Qing finally sat up from the bed, she looked at him properly and noticed that he looked really tired and stressed out.
What would you like to eat?
Mu Yahze took in her appearance as she got up, she was wearing a short red night gown which hugged her curves in a comfortable manner and showed alot of skin. Did she deliberately wear that to seduce me? He thought to himself. No, how could she possibly know that I would be here today.
Anything is fine, he finally said.
I will run the bath for you, she said as she walked pass him to the bathroom.
The scent of her perfume was captivating as she passed, Mu Yahze inhaled deeply, she smelled really good but he wouldn't admit it. He was beginning to think that it was a bad idea coming here.
Su Qing ran the bath for him and went to the kitchen to make him something. Fortunately the kitchen was fully stocked by the butler and the ingredients were all fresh. She decided to make a simple congee with ginger and scallions. She was really fast and food was ready in no time.
Mu Yahze came downstairs to the kitchen after freshening up, he leaned in the kitchen door and watched Su Qing as she prepared the food, when she raises her hand to get something from the kitchen cabinet up, her night wear also goes up showing more skin, Mu Yahze swallowed hard and left to go wait at the sitting room.
Su Qing finished cooking and served him at the dining table where he ate and she sat down watching him as he ate quietly.
He finished eating and she cleaned the table and did the dishes.
Mu Yahze sat at the sitting room when Su Qing brought him some hang over medication.Her scent invaded his breath as she dropped the medication on the table before him.
You should really reduce your alcohol intake, it's not really good for the body.
Mu Yahze chuckled, you think you are in a place to tell me what to do now, you really think you are my wife and want to perform wifey duties with me, you should know clearer than anyone about your position.
Su Qing was hurt by his sudden jab, did he have to remind her that she was nothing to him, she was only showing concern because she loved him, she loved him way too much. Tears brimmed her eyes as she ran upstairs.
Remove that night wear too, it's ugly, he added.
Su Qing did not stop and continued running up to the bedroom and finally got to her bathroom, she calmed herself down and changed her night wear to a more conservative one before going to bed.
Mu Yahze stayed out smoking for a while before he joined her in bed, they both slept facing away from each other and giving each other a reasonable space in between.
Su Qing was asleep when she heard some sobbing sound from the other side, she got up and saw that it was her husband, he was sobbing.
Please mom, don't leave me, don't leave me again, please mom, he muttered in his sleep.
She knew about Mu Yahze's childhood trauma and how he has been unable to forget his mom's death.He must be having a bad dream.
She turned to his side of the bed and hugged him tightly. I'm here now, I won't ever leave you okay, I won't ever leave, she said repeatedly as she patted him gently on his back.
He seems to have heard her and calmed down.
Su Qing continued to pat his back until he relaxed and went back to sleep and she slept off too.
It was morning and Su Qing woke up first, she was surprised to see that Mu Yahze was still there, she
usually he would have left before she woke up because she was not an early raiser like he was, more surprising was that his hand were on her waist hugging her to himself. How did they get here?
She slowly removed his hand from her waist and looked at him closely, he looked so peaceful when he slept, she smiled, he was her husband, the man she has been inlove with for five years and waking up with him by her side was more than enough.She got up from the bed and decided to freshen up and maybe make breakfast.
Downstairs, the house keeper and Momo had already arrived.
Good morning young madam, the butler and Momo greeted.
Good morning to you two, how was your night sleep?
It was good, madam.
You can go do other things, I will make breakfast today.
No young madam, I can't allow you to do that, young master wouldn't be happy if he finds out that I allowed you into the kitchen.
As if he cares, Su Qing thought to herself. It's okay I insist, go busy yourself, she said as she entered the kitchen.
Mu Yahze woke up feeling much better, he hasn't had such a great sleep in a long time. He could vaguely recall what happened the last night, he remembered someone hugging him and telling him that she was with him and wouldn't leave him but he didn't know whether it was his mom in his dreams or Su Qing in reality. He shaked the thought off his head and got ready for work.
Mu Yahze came down ready to leave for work, the butler was surprised to see the young master. It's no wonder the young madam insisted on cooking breakfast.
Where's the young madam?
She's preparing breakfast, she woke up very early to prepare breakfast for you and it's all done, you can sit at the dinn.....
Go call her, Mu Yahze interrupted her.
Yes young master, the butler said as he left for the kitchen to go call Su Qing.
Su Qing came to the sitting room and saw the already dressed Mu Yahze.
Pack up your bag, we are spending the weekend at the old house.
Ohh.. okay. Hope grandpa is fine?
He's alright. He said walking towards the door.
You should have breakfast first, she offered.
Mu Yahze stopped and turned to her smiling mockingly, you shouldn't do all of this, it's not necessary, you can never truly be my wife so quit it already, he said as he left the house.
Su Qing stood there tranfixed as tears filled her eyes.
Young madam, should we serve the breakfast, Momo asked.
No need, I will be in my room, Su Qing said and went upstairs.
