Monkey’s Bottom

"Father! How could you do that?" angrily asked Yingyue. Her little face morphed into an angry pout. It wasn't like she wanted to have an angry pout. This childish face of hers was just so chubby and round that every face she made just seemed cute.

"Father was wrong, Father is sorry. Don't be mad anymore, okay?" said Commander Jiang Yu as he squirmed beneath his daughter's cold stare.

Yingyue turned away from the bear-like man's pitiful, little gaze. Earlier that day, the Lin family came over to visit as well as send gifts to help with her recovery. However, it was also the first time the two betrothed met, as the Lin family had been on a business trip and had only recently returned. So, the parents of the two thought it would be a good idea to play matchmaker! It really gave her a headache, why were these adults so excited to play matchmaker!

Yet, when she thought back to Lin Mingyu, she could sort of understand why the original Jiang Yingyue had fallen in love with him. Not only was he incredibly good looking, he also was the sole heir of the Lin family, who is known for their long lineage and ability. Not only is his father the current prime minister, but he would become prime minister as well. Well-versed, educated, handsome, and talented, he was one of the most wanted husbands in the empire.

His only drawback was his stoic personality. In every harem, there would most likely be an overbearing character, a flirty character, and a puppy character and this Lin Mingyu fell perfectly into the overbearing male lead archetype that was kind only to the female lead. However the Lin Mingyu she just met was very cute, not at all overbearing. It was quite interesting to see the powerful male lead be so cute and shy.

She could still remember his face that was as red as a monkey's bottom when the adults teased him for not being able to catch her properly. She giggled as she thought,'Monkey's bottom...'

Snapping Yingjie out of her imagination, Jiang Yu righteously said, "However, that boy should do some training with me. He needs to at least be able to defeat me to be able to marry my precious Yingyue." Although, he wanted his daughter to have a happy marriage and even tried to matchmake them. It didn't mean that he wasn't allowed to torture his future son-in-law. "ψ(｀∇´)ψ

'What training? This person obviously wants to make it hard for the poor boy," thought Yingyue. "Father, this daughter is tired and would like to go back to her room to rest," said Yingyue. She did not agree or reject the old commander's request. In any case, it wasn't going to be her who does the training...

Nodding his head rapidly, he agreed to her request. He also made sure to continuously remind her to take her tonics and medicine. As a 24/7 doting father, he made sure to agree to her every desire, no matter how big or small. He only had this one daughter after all and she deserves only the best. So, with that thought, Jiang Yu burned the midnight oil, concocting a new training plan to use on Lin Mingyu.

That night, Yingyue couldn't sleep no matter how hard she tried.

'Would it be alright for me to stay here?' thought Yingyue.
