Chapter 13 You Are My Wife

When Ruan Shishi woke up, the sky was already bright. She realized that it was 7.30 a.m. after checking the time. “I’m doomed!” Ruan Shishi exclaimed in a low voice. It was a Monday on this day, which was a working day. Initially, she planned to wake up at 7 a.m. so she would not be late. Little did she expect that she would lose sleep on the previous night, which was why she overslept this morning. Ruan Shishi rushed downstairs after washing up. “Madam.” Du Yue’s voice rang in the living room. Ruan Shishi looked at the direction where she heard his voice coming from. Before her eyes, Du Yue was standing beside the dining table, whereas Yu Yimo was sitting by it. He was neatly dressed and had a pair of fork and knife in his hands, seeming like he had been having his breakfast for a while. “Good morning,” Ruan Shishi finally said after she pulled herself together. Du Yue pulled a chair beside Yu Yimo, signaling to Ruan Shishi that she could have her breakfast here. Casting a glance at Yu Yimo, who was still in his usual cold demeanour, Ruan Shishi shook her head and said softly, “I’m not hungry.” She was not sure whether Yu Yimo had cooled down or not. If not, would she not anger him more by showing up in front of him? I won’t be that foolish. As she talked, Ruan Shishi was about to escape from the scene. However, Yu Yimo lifted his gaze to glance at her and said authoritatively, “Come and sit here.” Not having the nerve to ignore Yu Yimo’s words, Ruan Shishi walked over obediently and sat down without hesitation. Then, Du Yue served her breakfast and retreated sensibly. While Yu Yimo continued eating, Ruan Shishi did not dare to move at all. Firstly, she still felt guilty when facing Yu Yimo. If he knew that she had seen the card, he would probably kill her. Secondly, Yu Yimo had perfect table manners which made her unable to stop herself from thinking of him as a nobleman by looking at him eating; this made Ruan Shishi hesitant to eat in front of him. Half a minute later, Yu Yimo put his fork and knife down and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He then said indifferently, “Finish it.” “Oh, okay.” Ruan Shishi did not dare to think further and quickly finished the bread and milk before her. When Ruan Shishi finished her breakfast and was about to rush out for work, Yu Yimo’s car was already waiting outside. The car seemed to be waiting for her. Ruan Shishi was a bit hesitant. As gossip was a fearful thing, the company would be in an uproar if someone saw her getting out from the President’s car. Besides, she did not wish to ride in the same car with Yu Yimo; it was too stressful. I still wish to live for a little longer! Therefore, Ruan Shishi said to Yu Yimo cautiously, “There’s no need to bother you. I can take the subway to the company by myself.” Upon hearing this, Yu Yimo, who was reading the newspaper, lifted his gaze to look at Ruan Shishi. His gaze stopped at Ruan Shishi’s blushed face for a few seconds. He then said, “Ruan Shishi, have you forgotten about something?” Ruan Shishi was clueless. “What have I forgotten?” “You’re my wife.” “Oh.” Ruan Shishi got into the car without speaking another word. Ruan Shishi felt her heart soften after hearing his words. No matter what unpleasant incidents had happened between her and Yu Yimo, or how he previously was, those were all matters of the past. Now, he was her husband, whereas she was his wife. Should everything go smoothly without any accidents, they would be spending the rest of their lives together.
