Lin Yuzhen immediately slid out from under the blanket, combed her hair properly and made sure her dress wasn't a mess.
Just after she straightened herself out, she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Lin Yuzhen! Come down right now!"
Su Mei's voice was as loud as thunder.
Lin Yuzhen glared at Jiang Ning as she helplessly bit her lips.
It was impossible for her to stay in this house anymore.
Those who didn't know better would have thought that this was Jiang Ning's home and she was the daughter-in-law instead.
"Ha, you reap what you sow," she glared at Jiang Ning. "You always butter up to Mum, so now she pampers you so much!"
Lin Yuzhen got up and pulled the door open to see Su Mei holding a rolling pin and all ready to bang the door down.
"Muuuumm..."
"Hush!” Su Mei put a finger to her lips and frowned. "Jiang Ning spent such a long time working out there, so he must be dead tired! Don't disturb his sleep!"
She dragged Lin Yuzhen out of the room and carefully closed the door behind her.
"Mum..." Lin Yuzhen turned back to see Jiang Ning lying on the bed as if his soul had left him and he felt like crying but no tears came to his eyes. She said a little sympathetically, "I didn't disturb his sleep at all, he was sleeping like a child."
Sleeping like a child...
Lin Yuzhen's voice echoed in Jiang Ning ears for a while.
He lay on the bed and just sighed.
After a long time, his emotions and body finally calmed back down.
Jiang Ning took a bath, got changed and went downstairs. He could smell the fragrance of chicken soup coming from the kitchen.
"Jiang Ning, you're up! I've boiled chicken soup for you, I'll get it for you now!" said Su Mei with a bright smile as she walked back into the kitchen to take the soup out.
She had only one bowl in hand, but after she noticed Lin Yuzhen looking at her from the sofa, she paused for a while and went back into the kitchen to get one more.
