Chapter 21: First Time Meeting

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Mu Qingyu didn’t think Shen Jingmo to return unexpectedly. The atmosphere between them was inexplicably awkward.

She handed her cup over in a daze and asked him,

“Do you want some water?”

In the end, he did take the cup away!

It was the same Shen Jingmo in her dream. He appeared attractive and abstinent in his suit.

Mu Qingyu looked at him with a complicated expression as he drank all the water in his cup. The words of warning were about to come out of her mouth, but she swallowed them down. The two returned to silence after he drank the water. He probably didn’t remember her, so Mu Qingyu didn’t mention that they met in high school and treated it as their first time meeting.

“Why did you come back so late?”

“What do you mean by that?” He asked softly.

She felt that her words were too ambiguous after she said that. It was like she didn’t want the man to go home. She quickly changed her words.

“I wanted to say that you should have told me you were coming so I could prepare.”

She felt that something was not right after she said that. It was someone else’s house. They could come back whenever they wanted to. Why would he need to tell her?

Moreover, the two still have not shared phone numbers, so they couldn’t contact each other even if they wanted to. Mu Qingyu’s expression was a little awkward. She had moved in for so long. But it was until she met this man today that she finally felt she was married.

In the days to come, she would be living with Shen Jingmo. The two would meet every day and eat together. Furthermore, they were husband and wife, and it seemed they had to do the things a married couple should do… The girl seemed to ponder on something, and her expression was blank.

Shen Jingmo spoke in a deep voice, “I had something to do at the company. I’ll be staying at home from now on.”

Mu Qingyu withdrew from her thoughts and acknowledged him. Then, she suddenly realized that he was just explaining why he had not returned home for the past few days. Only marriage connected them. There was no relationship between them. He did not need to explain it to her.

“Then which room will you be sleeping in?”

Mu Qingyu subconsciously asked. She occupied the master’s bedroom. She had no reason to refuse if he wanted to stay in the master bedroom with her…

“Guest room.”

“It’s getting late. You should go to bed first.”

Shen Jingmo could tell that the young girl was nervous and uncomfortable. He took a step back and let her go.

Since he was married, it was only a matter of time before he shared a bed with the young girl. He did not want to rush things. Everything had to be increasingly slow. It wouldn’t be too late for him to take the next step after she accepted him.

“Oh, that’s good. You should rest early too.”

When she heard he wanted to stay in the guest room, Mu Qingyu subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. The guest room was on the first floor. Shen Jingmo looked at the young girl’s hand that had suddenly reached out, and for the first time, he felt at a loss.

Her hands were white and tender. Although there were a few thin calluses on her fingers, they didn’t affect her beauty. People still couldn’t take their eyes off her.

“Mr. Shen, my cup.”

“Oh…here you go.” He watched as Mu Qingyu went up the stairs until her figure disappeared from his sight.

Not long after, Shen Jingmo stood at the door of the master’s bedroom with a glass of warm water.

Mu Qingyu’s mood was a little complicated. Her sleepiness disappeared without a trace after she saw Shen Jingmo.

When she heard a knock on the door, she got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to open the door. The man outside the door wore the same silk pajamas as her. His was black. The third button was buttoned up and revealed his collarbones and strong muscles. His face was cold, and his dark eyes had a charming luster.

Mu Qingyu was dumbfounded. What was Shen Jingmo doing? Dressed like this in the middle of the night to look for her.?

‘Did he think he was a gentleman who would not mess around?’

“Here you go.”

The man’s voice was low and faint. It immediately pulled mu Qingyu back to her senses.

“Oh…Thank you.”

Mu Qingyu received the warm water from him and didn’t dare to look at him. She drank the water in the cup in one gulp. Her mind had been in a mess the whole night and finally calmed down.

“Come home with me for dinner tomorrow night.”

It was a statement, not a tone of discussion.

Mu Qingyu obediently replied, “I understand.”

It had been a while since they got their marriage certificate. But they had not returned to the old house together. Aunt Wu was always concerned about the progress between them. Since she was not busy, she should go home and visit her elders.
