Elite Doting Marriage: Crafty Husband, Aloof Cute Wife

Su Yue woke up groggy the next day, only to realize that the man was still sleeping beside her.

His deep breathing filled her ears and it made her feel indescribably at ease.

This was the first time since they returned from Country M that he was still sleeping when she woke up. What more, he was in a deep sleep.

But… why were his eyebrows furrowed?

Su Yue flipped over and propped her chin up with her arms. She pursed her lips as she stared at his eyebrows in confusion.

Uncle Ming, what happened?

He hugged her so tightly last night. Throughout the night, he gave off the feeling that he was very insecure.

What had happened? Was he dreaming of it?

Su Yue gently rubbed the area between his eyebrows, trying to ease his troubles.

“Yueyue,” Ming Ansheng greeted sleepily in a nasal voice, suddenly opening his eyes.

Su Yue froze. She retracted her arm, a face of apology. “I woke you up.”

She chided herself. He woke up early every day and he could finally sleep in, but she had to wake him up.

Ming Ansheng pursed his lips and shook his head. He then affectionately ruffled Su Yue’s already messy hair.

He gently asked, “Are you hungry?”

He wound his arms around her in one swift motion.

“Nope.” Su Yue shook her head. She peered up at him and blinked. “Uncle Ming, you… you don’t have to work today?”

Actually, she wanted to know what had happened.

But she changed her mind. She tried asking yesterday but he didn’t answer.

She thought he would tell her when and if he wanted to.

She shouldn’t force it out of him, lest he become more troubled about it.

Ming Ansheng looked down at her and smiled gently. “I wanted to sleep in with you just this once.”

Su Yue was ecstatic to hear it. “Is that okay?”

He had been very busy since he returned from Country M. Even when he returned home at night, he would be buried in work until midnight.

He had already abandoned his work and accompanied her in Country M for so many days. If he were to miss out on his work again, would his grandfather dislike her even more?

‘What can you help him in?’

‘At least Meiduo was a strong and independent woman who could support him in his career…’

Ming Zhongsheng’s taunts filled her ears once more. Her face fell.

Although his words were crude, they had some sense to it.

Her third brother had her third sister-in-law as his capable assistant, and she never gave him any troubles in their personal lives.

Uncle Ming needed a capable wife, too.

But she couldn’t do anything for him. She couldn’t even cook a proper meal and he had to provide her three meals a day.

She was as good as useless.

Ming Ansheng gently smiled. “Don’t worry. Nobody can fire me.”

He rubbed his chin gently on Su Yue’s high forehead.

His slight stubble tickled her and she shunned away. “It tickles.”

She forcefully pushed him away. She looked at him and snorted. “Although you’re the boss, you can’t go to work as you please. I don’t want anyone calling me a vixen.”

His grandfather was already very displeased with her. If he were to abandon his work because of her again, the old man would dislike her even more.

Although she really wanted to spend more time with him at home…

Aish.
