Chapter 107: Getting more and more arrogant

She stood in front of him and looked at him nervously.

He looked back at her, but his expression was cold as ice.

"You... I..." She didn't know what to say, and he seemed to be very unhappy.

Lu Xiangdong was very tired now. He had been looking for her outside since eight o'clock. He had thought that she was in some kind of danger again. He guessed that, when he was worrying about her, she had gone somewhere to enjoy herself.

"Su Mianmian, this is the last time. If you come back any later in the future, I will punish you." He pressed his hands on his temples.

She made him feel very tired. If she continued like this, he wasn't sure what he'd do.

"I'm sorry, I should have called back. There was a reason I didn't call back. I put my phone in my bag and did not hear it." At that time, she had only been concerned about sending Ouyang Que home, so she hadn't thought much about her phone. Only when she had finished helping Ouyang Que, did she realize that it was already very late.

He interrupted her impatiently. "I don't care what your reason is. You make me feel very tired."

Su Mianmian looked hurt. She opened her mouth and tried to explain herself to him, but he didn't want to hear her explanation at all. He strode upstairs.

Su Mianmian felt very upset. She sat on the sofa and clutched the fabric on her pants. She was faintly trembling.

He could have said that he did not like her, but instead he had said that he felt very tired because of her. Did he find her particularly annoying? Could she understand that he hated her?

If he hated her, so be it. What was the point of thinking about it so much? Once her emotions were affected, her stomach would also hurt.

She patted her stomach and said angrily, "Come out earlier and help mom clean up your stinky poop."

Lu Xiangdong went upstairs and kicked the wardrobe. His chest was so tight that he could not breathe. What he had said did not come from his heart. He had just been angry that she had not answered his calls, that she came back so late, and that she was hiding something from him.

In truth, he cared about her a lot. He cared more about her than he could have ever imagined, but he did not want to show this in front of her. He was a cold and arrogant man who cared about his image.

Su Mianmian thought that, after last night's incident, he would not bother with her anymore. However, when she went downstairs, she found that breakfast was already on the table and he was busy in the kitchen.

She walked to the dining table and took a look. He had made fried egg for two, which meant that he was not going ignore her. She was overthinking.

When he brought out the rice porridge, he saw her staring at the breakfast on the table in a daze. He walked past her and brought the rest of the food to the table.

"Why are you standing there? Aren't you eating breakfast?" His tone didn't sound much different from usual, and it seemed that his anger had dissipated.

Su Mianmian pulled out a chair at the side and sat down quietly.

He knew that she usually liked to eat greasy food for breakfast, but he didn't like it, so he didn't make anything greasy. He expected her to throw away the bowl and leave, but she did something unexpected. She actually picked up a poached egg and put it on her plate. She cut it into a few pieces and ate it!

This surprised Lu Xiangdong, because he saw that she actually wanted to eat this. She never ate poached eggs.

"What's wrong with you today?" He did not touch the breakfast in front of him, he just watched her eat.

Su Mianmian looked at him. She should be the one asking him this question. Why was he staring at her while eating?

She took a bite of the poached egg and put it back on the plate. She picked up the porridge and took a sip. "Do you become full just by watching me eat?"

"You've never eaten eggs before. You said you hated eggs."

Su Mianmian remembered saying that before, but she hadn't expected him to remember it so clearly. There are always exceptions! Now that she was pregnant, of course, she had to eat better. She needed to keep up with the nutrition.

"Did you remember wrongly? I did say that I didn't like eggs, but after processing them, there are many types of eggs. For example, fried eggs, poached eggs, fried egg rice."

Lu Xiangdong's face twitched slightly. She was simply being unreasonable. However, since she was willing to eat eggs, it would be easier for him to make breakfast. In the future, he would not have to make two different breakfasts.

Su Mianmian saw the look of defeat on his face, and her mood instantly brightened. She reached out her chopsticks and took one from his plate.

He was stunned. "What are you doing? Can't you eat from your own bowl?"

"Who told you to make so little? I've finished eating from my plate. I see that you still have three on your plate. You can't finish them, so you can't waste them, right?" Su Mianmian ate the three poached eggs on her plate, plus the one from Lu Xiangdong's plate. She ate a total of four eggs.

She seemed to be eating even more now than before. Was she possessed by a starving ghost?

She was troubled. If she was overweight, she would have to lose weight after giving birth.

"Sister Su, what's wrong with your face? Is it swollen?" Tang Wenyun stared at her face as she approached her. Su Mianmian subconsciously covered her face. Had her face gained weight?

"Is it swollen?" Su Mianmian leaned her butt against the cart. She took out a small mirror from the pocket of her skirt and held it in her palm. She looked at it carefully and realized that it was really swollen. Could it be because she had eaten too many eggs this morning? Su Mianmian pinched her face hard and it hurt.

Tang Wenyun had experience in this area. She had eaten too much in the past and had experienced the same situation as sister Su. She told Su Mianmian to boil some medicine to eat. She would be fine after eating a few doses.

Su Mianmian asked her to give the recipe to her so that she could get some medicine in the afternoon.

However, she was pregnant now. She could not simply take any medicine. What should she do? Should she buy medicine for her face?

Lu Xiangdong smelled a strange smell the moment he entered the house. He opened the window and let the living room air. The strange smell seemed to come from the kitchen. He put down his hat and walked towards the kitchen.

When Su Mianmian heard footsteps coming from behind her, she closed the kitchen door.

Lu Xiangdong knocked on the door and shouted, "Su Mianmian, what are you doing? The smell is so bad!"

Su Mianmian stammered, "I'm staying up late to beautify my face."

"Open the door." He knocked on the door again impatiently.

If he saw her making such a mess in the kitchen, he would definitely get angry. She refused to open it no matter what.

Su Mianmian quickly turned off the gas and opened the kitchen window. She poured the medicine out the window and closed the window after making sure there was none left.

She bent down and looked around for a cattail leaf fan, trying to fan out the smell.

"Su Mianmian, I told you to open the door, didn't you hear me?"

Su Mianmian fanned with force and wiped her sweat. She turned her head to the direction of the door and replied, "Right away, wait patiently!"

Lu Xiangdong raised the watch on his wrist and counted the time. He stood outside the door for a full ten minutes before Su Mianmian slowly opened the door for him.

When he entered the kitchen, the smell seemed to have faded a little. There was residue left on the edge of a small pot that had not been destroyed.

His face instantly darkened as he scolded, "What on earth are you cooking? You've turned the house into such a mess."

She stuck out her tongue innocently. "My face is swollen, so I brewed some medicine to apply on it."

After she said that, he noticed that her face was really swollen.

"Where's the medicine? Why are you staying up all night?"

She pointed at the sink behind him. "It fell. I was scared by you just now, so I poured it into the sink."

He frowned.

"You don't need money to buy medicine?"

She shook her head. She definitely needed money, it had costed her a thousand yuan.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Clean up the kitchen."

Su Mianmian let out a sigh of relief. When he went out, she quickly took out a bowl of medicine from the cupboard and smeared it on her face.

However, her happiness only lasted for a few seconds. Suddenly, a man's roar erupted. She was so scared that her hand trembled and the bowl slipped and fell to the ground.

"Ah!" This time, the medicine was really spilled.

"Su Mianmian, come out now."

She did not know what she had done to provoke him again, but she was in a very bad mood now. The medicine that she had spent a thousand yuan on was gone.

"What's the matter?" She came out angrily.

Lu Xiangdong threw a pot of flowers in front of her. His handsome face twisted and he gritted his teeth. "This is your masterpiece, right?"

Su Mianmian recalled opening the window to pour the medicine away, and she lowered her head.

The two of them sat on the sofa, staring at each other, neither willing to compromise.

"Don't you have a brain? Or is your brain filled with tofu?"

Su Mianmian originally didn't want to retort, but his insulting tone made her very uncomfortable. She didn't care whether what she said would hurt him or not.

"I don't have a brain, and you still want to marry me. That means that you're only worthy of marrying a woman with a damaged brain like mine. Other women will never take a fancy to you."

He stared at her with wide eyes.

She didn't want to be outdone and glared back at him.

Lu Xiangdong was really angered by her. He was really disappointed.

Su Mianmian looked at him in shock as he suddenly stood up and walked upstairs.

He knew that he could not win against her, so he decided he should just leave.

Su Mianmian felt tears welling up in her eyes as she watched him leave without looking back. Why did he have to treat her with such an attitude? All she did was accidentally pour the medicinal herbs on the flower pot. It could all be over if he just got rid of it.

Lu Xiangdong was not really angry with her. He just felt that he could not spoil her. If she did something wrong, she should accept the punishment. Otherwise, she would become arrogant.

When he saw her kneeling on the ground and fiddling with the pot of flowers, he felt his heart ache.

Su Mianmian slowly removed all the medicinal herbs around the flowers. The medicinal herbs were a small, so it took a long time to clean them up.

When the flowers were finally clean, she fell to the ground and complained to herself. Why did she have to suffer like this? What did she do wrong? Why did she have to kneel here and clean the medicinal herbs?

Su Mianmian poured some water on the flowers. She actually liked tulips, but, because of this, she began to feel herself hate tulips. She threw away the watering can and entered the villa.

As she stepped into the villa, she saw Lu Xiangdong standing in front of the window. He was holding a cup of tea and drinking it with his back to her.

She was so tired, but that looked so nice. Drinking tea was really relaxing.

A deep look of disdain flashed on her face. She held her breath and walked to the stairs.

Lu Xiangdong turned around to call for her. "Come over and have a cup of tea!"

Su Mianmian put her hand on the stair rail and said with a smile, "I do want to drink tea, but you didn't make me any."

He shook his head. It seemed that she was still angry with him.

"Su Mianmian, stop being so stingy. If you did the right thing, you could rightfully get angry at me, but it's obvious that you did the wrong thing this time." He walked back to the sofa, crossed his legs, and tried to reason with her.

Even if it was her fault, she shouldn't have to work so hard to get the herbs off of the flower pot. He had enough money to just buy a new pot. Why did he have to torture her so much? Did seeing her so tired make him feel good?

"Are you scolding me?" He turned his head to look at her. His eyes narrowed. He held the cup of tea in his hand and looked displeased.

He had already guessed it.

"Come down and have a cup of tea with me."

"I only drink water, not tea. If you like tea, you can drink it by yourself." Su Mianmian left him. She was currently on a diet, so it was best not to eat anything recklessly.

Lu Xiangdong looked at the two cups of tea that had been brewed on the coffee table, and felt a little cold. He really tried to kiss Su Mianmian's cold butt, but she still did not appreciate it.

After returning to her room, Su Mianmian regretted how she had acted. She should have not been so stubborn. She had actually boiled a cup of water before coming upstairs, but she couldn't go down to drink the boiled water now. She would definitely be laughed at by him. She could only lie on top of the bed, for the sake of her self-esteem.

When Lu Xiangdong came up, he held a cup of hot tea in his hand and a plate of pastries in his other hand.

Su Mianmian knew that he rarely ate sweet food. The real reason he had brought up pastries was to take revenge on her.
