Chapter 136: MY HUBBY IS SO CHARMING ~
While everyone in the room sat and stood rooted in shock, Housekeeper Xu recovered from his own quite fast, thanks to his experiences of handling bizarre situations. And then he looked at the two parties, Mrs. Gu and the other side, the maids, who did nothing but stare, with their eyes almost popping out.
And then he saw Gu Yeze, the most unbothered person one could find in the whole entire world, who had his eyes glued to only the woman in his arms as the others in the room didn’t even exist.
The old man took a deep breath and then cleared his throat to gain everyone’s attention. Which he failed successfully in his first attempt. So he tried again and this time almost coughing his throat out, and it worked. Ning Mei and the maids broke out from their shocked trance and faced the buttler of the house.
Housekeeper Xu respectfully bowed at the Ning Mei, which was returned by her with a polite deep nod. And then he turned towards the maids and said in a authoritive tone, "Alright, everyone get back to your work. "
He did not bother to introduce who is Ning Mei to them, because he was in no position to do that. And it was not his job, as the head of the house was sitted in front of them, right there.
The maids hurriedly got back to their work, some scrambled to where they were going and some others proceeded to clean the mess that they had created due to their shock.
While everyone got back, Ning looked at them still sitting there dumbly, then she turned to Gu Yeze with her anxious and a bit confused eyes. Gu Yeze could ofcourse somewhat understand his wife’s situation. It isn’t everyday that she is getting married.
He then looked at her and nodded lightly, his expression not giving out anything but still Ning Mei felt oddly reassured.
"Wait. " Gu Yeze deep and calm voice was heard in the room, successfully halting everyone from what they were doing. All the heads turned towards him, turning him into the centre of attention again. And all saw him, gently holding Ning Mei’s hand and standing up together with her, next to him.
At that time, everybody in the room turned a bit tensed, because everyone could subconsciously feel that what ever their master was going to announce was important.
Gu Yeze stood with his usual dignified presence with Ning Mei, standing next to him. All the other people in the room felt that this two did, undoubtedly make a handsome couple.
"This thing is rather important." His voice echoed in the almost silent house. "She, is Ning Mei. My wife. And the mistress of the house. "
That was it. Pin drop Silence.
’Oh, wife, is it?... ’
’WAIT! WHATTT!!! ’
"And everyone is going to give her the respect and treat her like, that she deserves. "Gu Yeze continued. "Also, about this, I don’t want any of you to go on gossiping around."
He then turned to the Butler and said, "I will have my breakfast in my study. " And then turning towards Ning Mei, he said with his still neutral like voice, but a lot gently than before, "Let’s continue what to had to say upstairs. "
Ning Mei was a little dazed, by her husband’s charms. Her heart was fluttering when he was announcing her as his wife, and then now when he is looking straight into her eyes and speaking. All she could do was nod her head dazedly and watch his oh-so eye catching figure make it’s way upstairs.
She couldn’t help but swoon in her heart...
’Oh my... Oh my... My hubby is so charming...!!’ Not knowing, that she was looking as a completely silly teenager in love.
After she had oogled and swooned enough at her husband till he was out of sight, she bought herself back to reality.
Then she found all other people in the room looking at her with complicated gazes.
’Umm... This is a little awkward. I know I am pretty... You could just compliment me right... No need to make it hard for both the sides here... ’
Swallowing the words on the tip of her tongue, Ning Mei flashed a sweet, beautiful smile at all the maids there and politely nodded at them. Then she said in a gentle, yet ear catching voice, "Hello, everyone. I am Ning Mei. Nice to meet you all. I hope we can get along well with each other. " Saying that much, she flashed another smile and then looking at the butler, gave another nod.
She knew very well that to have a good position and time in this house, she must make the people working here like her. Because, that is how it works in the high societies. Mostly people ignore them, and show their true dark side in front of them, while not knowing that mostly news spread into the society through them.
So, if you want to have a good impression in the society, no matter how rotten you are from inside, just try to be nice and maintain your image in front of everyone. Specially when you are new.
The workers and the maids to the other hand were mesmerized by the person in front. Now, they know why their master got married so suddenly. This lady’s eyes and smile can sway almost anyone.
No one could blame their innocent master for falling for her. And unconsciously many of them returned the smile. The smile sure was contagious. At this moment, though one couldn’t say that they had on the spot became her loyal fan but ofcourse as a person, she was sure impressive.
Housekeeper Xu, once again coughed to get their attention and said to the maids, "Everyone heard what master said, right? I think everyone is smart enough to know what you all must be doing. Now, everybody get back to work."
Ofcourse, did everyone know not to go in gossiping carelessly around. Their jobs are important.
As Housekeeper Xu looked at everyone dispersing to their work, he thought to himself to make sure to tell that they should not spread the news about Sir’s marriage out now, as per Sir’s order.
Then he turned to Ning Mei, who still stood there looking at everyone getting back to what they were doing. He gave her a deep bow and said, "Welcome to your home, Mistress. I am Xu Jiang, the housekeeper of the house. I I hope you have a wonderful living here from now on."
Ning Mei replied with a smile, "Thank you, Housekeeper Xu. "
The old man, then said, "Mistress, what would you like to have for breakfast? "
Ning Mei thought for a moment and said, "You will be preparing Gu Yeze’s breakfast, right? " Seeing the Butler nod, she said, "Perfect. Make a little more of it in that single serving, and I will take it to him. "
The Butler didn’t had to be told twice for him to understand what she meant. But he still looked at her with doubt and said, "Are you sure, mistress? " Didn’t master have a case of OCD.
Ning Mei simply shrugged and said, "With me what problem could he have? " He dare have any issue!
Hearing her, the buttler nodded and turned around and walked with a subtle smile on his face. ’This new wedded things.. ’
