“Is Chi Rui’er’s fever severe?”
“Yes, she had two bottles of IV drip last night.”
As they headed downstairs for breakfast, An Xiaoning asked, “What would you like to have? Milk or porridge?”
“Your blood,” he blurted without hesitation.
Startled, An Xiaoning smiled at him benevolently, then said teasingly, “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to wait. Aunt Flo 1 will be here in just a few days.”
Her sarcastic remark left Jin Qingyan speechless. Initially, he thought he had married a meek and dainty wife, yet she turned out to be a sharp-tongued cynic, which was contrary to his expectations.
——
Jin Qingyan had planned to take a day off from work that afternoon. He decided to make his way to the old mansion because he was concerned about Jin Qingyue having her fortune told by An Xiaoning.
“I guess it’s all fate. Though we can’t change much even if we try to stop her, we still shouldn’t sit back and watch her dig a hole for herself,” said a worried Mrs. Jin, who was rather upset and disgruntled.
“Then you’ll have to put more thought into the matter.”
Nodding along, Mrs. Jin turned to ask Jin Qingyan, “I heard that Chi Rui’er is putting up at your mansion in Wei Ni Estate. Where did you get the audacity to do that? Your wife should be the only person allowed to live there. Who is Chi Rui’er to deserve a chance to live there?”
“Mom, she’s only staying there temporarily. She’ll move out after some time.”
“Get her to leave quickly, before your grandma finds out. How dare she step foot in that mansion?”
“Alright, you don’t have to worry too much about that matter. Channel your attention towards Qingyue, she seems to be getting out of hand,” said Jin Qingyan with a reassuring smile.
“Even so, I’ll still have to keep an eye on her. She’s getting too independent and rebellious for her own good.”
Just as she ended her sentence, Jin Qingyue arrived downstairs. It was rare for her to be up so early. She usually does not wake up before noon.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going out to handle some matters. I won’t be having breakfast at home.”
“Come here,” ordered Mrs. Jin, fuming with anger.
“Mother, why are you suddenly so serious?”
“Sit down!”
“Okay, just what’s the matter?” said Jin Qingyue passively.
“Your Sister-in-law has read your fortune. You’re not going to last forever with Shi Shaochuan.”
“Mother, haven’t you heard? Your destiny lies in your own hands. Are you really going to take her word for it? Just because she said so, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen,” argued Jin Qingyue, who was unconvinced.
“She said you guys would get married, but not last forever. Do you have any idea what that means?”
“Which elderly couple actually manages to stay together even until death?” said Jin Qingyue, who insisted on interpreting her mother’s words literally.
“I knew you wouldn’t believe it. Let me warn you again, you’d better stop seeing him so often, he’s going to toy with you once you’re wrapped around his finger,” warned the enraged Mrs. Jin.
