Early the next morning, the cool breeze of early fall swept across the city.
Qiu Mu-Cheng had set her alarm clock for 6AM, but she only woke up at 7AM.
The most painful time of the day for Qiu Mu-Cheng was the time when she had to wake up.
She felt as though her soul and body were in two different places. Her physical body had gotten up, but her soul was still asleep.
"Dear, I'm so sleepy..." Qiu Mu-Cheng whined coquettishly as she stretched an arm out towards the space where Ye Fan normally slept.
But after patting the bed for a while, Qiu Mu-Cheng's arm didn't feel anything.
She finally opened her eyes to find that the space where Ye Fan usually slept was empty.
Qiu Mu-Cheng turned with a start to look at the clock to find that it was nearly
710AM already.
She immediately jolted up and groaned in frustration, "Damn it, I've overslept again! Qiu Mu-Cheng, you're such a lazy pig! You're an adult already but you constantly oversleep and always make your husband serve you as a result!”
She used both hands to tug at her hair in annoyance at how useless she was.
After letting out her frustration, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't even change out of her pajamas. She put on her slippers and ran out of the room.
Just as she had expected, the table was already covered with breakfast.
"Dear, you're awake? Go wash up and get changed, then have breakfast. I'll send you to work later." Ye Fan came out of the kitchen with a freshly fried egg and an apron round his waist to see Qiu Mu-Cheng's barely awake face in front of him, and he burst into a bright smile.
Nobody would have ever expected that the almighty Mr Chu who had defeated those military instructors in Jiangbei so powerfully would actually be such a gentle and understanding man in front of his wife.
"Ye Fan, didn't I tell you to let me prepare breakfast? I'm your wife, so I should be the one doing all this. Can't you give me a chance to do this?"
Most other wives would have happily run to their husbands with a big thank you and even a kiss if they saw that their husbands had prepared breakfast.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng did none of that, and even glared begrudgingly at Ye Fan as she grumbled about how he ended up preparing breakfast for her again.
Ye Fan smiled brightly when he heard what she said.
That smile was especially sweet.
"Silly girl! You work so hard out there every day, while I have nothing to do at home, so I pass the time by cooking your meals and cleaning the house. We've lived like that for so long already, so why are you bothered by this?" laughed Ye Fan.
But these words only made Qiu Mu-Cheng feel even guiltier.
Before Mufan Group existed and Ye Fan was merely a live-in husband, Qiu Mu-Cheng had thought this way too.
She thought that since Ye Fan wasn't employed and didn't earn any money, it was only right for him to stay at home and take care of all the chores.
So Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't feel guilty at all as Ye Fan took care of everything in the house for more than three years.
But she later realized that she had been wrong.
