Chapter 52: Husband and Wife

The reception lasted until evening and by the time most of the guests left, Sasuke and Sakura found themselves in the lobby, sitting across them was Sasuke's grandmother, Uzume, whose expression was hard to distinguish from being happy or not. Behind her were two men in dark suit and glasses, most probably her bodyguards.

"Congratulations," the old woman said and Sasuke nodded. The only reason he allowed this personal meeting after the wedding was because Sakura said so. She said it would seem rude if they refuse.

Sakura really doesn't see what's wrong with this, it seems like Sasuke's grandmother is a genuine woman, apart from that time when she had Sakura brought to Kyoto without Sasuke's knowledge.

Uzume slid a box with golden ribbon across the table as Sasuke looked at it skeptically. "Accept that as my gift to the newlyweds."

Sakura took it with a slight bow of her head before she untied the ribbon and opened the box. She gasped inaudibly when she saw what's inside.

"A...key?" She said as she looked up at Sasuke who has a slight frown before he looked at his grandmother.

"What is this?"

"It's nothing much. It is the key to the Villa in Fujiwara, Kyoto."

Sakura's eyes widen in surprise when she heard that it was a key to a villa. Sasuke's grandmother just gifted them a Villa for their wedding.

"That Villa? But I thought it has been sold years ago?" Sasuke asked, still looking skeptical. If his memories served him right, it was his uncles and grandfather who insisted in selling the Villa for money, they earned quite a wealth from it.

"Yes, it was sold by my foolish husband and sons behind my back but I already bought it back so you have nothing to worry about," Uzume said. "And Sasuke, don't give me that look."

Sasuke blinked and averted his eyes. Since it's a wedding gift there's no way he can refuse it. And besides, Sasuke really couldn't care less much about a Villa in Kyoto. He already has a residence in Sumida. But Sakura, on the other hand, seem to be more shock than she was grateful of the gift.

"Wait, you're gifting us a Villa? A Villa?" She asked, looking at Sasuke's grandmother who stood up.

"Oh dear, it was nothing much. Though it used to be the Imperial Villa of the Royal Family way back when, until it was given to our ancestors as a token of gratitude for helping them win the war."

"Nothing much," Sakura muttered, as she and Sasuke stood up and walk towards the entrance of the hotel.

Sasuke's grandmother was a few steps ahead when Sakura stepped closer to Sasuke and whispered. "Sasuke-kun, is it alright to accept this? I mean, it's an Imperial Villa!"

"My grandmother never accept a gift back, so refusing is never an option when she's the one who gives a gift."

"But it's an Imperial Villa, Sasuke-kun!" Sakua whisper-yelled to get her point across. But it was really no point arguing since it was a gift after all.

They were outside, with cars parked in front when Uzume stopped suddenly and turned around.

"Sasuke, I suggest you bring your wife to the Villa and spend your first night in there," she said and out of nowhere, the old woman suddenly wink, surprising Sakura even more than she already is.
