Meixiu could already feel the dangers thrown at her as soon as she left Weimin's car. The man couldn't help but chuckle at the unreadable expression his friend was showing.
He shakes his head, looking at the small house just in front of them and seeing a pair of eyes intently looking out. He turned his gaze back to Meixiu, seeing the woman busy looking at her phone.
"You should buy a new one."
"No, that'll blow my cover up."
"I'm not talking about the latest one."
Weimin pushes his arms out, patting the woman in front on her arms before he closes the window of the car. Meixiu shakes her head, her hand waving at the car that started its engine.
As soon as the car was out of sight, Meixiu gulped before she looked at the house. She was quickly greeted by Xiaohui's blank stare, crossing her arms on her chest as she leaned on the doorframe.
Meixiu smiles widely, walking towards her wife, and was about to hug the smaller woman when Xiaohui steps back a little. The woman's eyebrows furrowed upon seeing the dirty clothes Meixiu's wearing.
And take note, Xiaohui has never seen it inside her wardrobe.
"Where did you get that?"
"Suyin gave it to me."
When Meixiu finishes speaking, Xiaohui's eyes darken. Meixiu never accepts any of her gifts, but she wore someone else's? The taller woman's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, walking towards the smaller woman to put the back of her palm on the woman's forehead.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, definitely."
Meixiu retrieved her hands away, gulping upon seeing the deadly gaze the smaller woman threw at her. She smiles sheepishly, walking away when Xiaohui speaks out again.
"So you won't check up on me?"
The taller woman looks back, her gaze looking confused at the smaller woman who stands still at the door. Meixiu quickly walks towards Xiaohui, pulling the woman out and closing the door behind her.
She dragged the woman towards the couch, sitting her down and kneeling in front of her before rubbing the woman's cheeks.
"Why? Are you sick?"
"What the fuck?"
Meixiu's eyes widen in shock. She never heard Xiaohui curse, and now the woman doesn't even seem like her wife.
She falls in love with the fragile, glass-like angel.
This one is different! It's not the angel; it's the devil. Meixiu gulps in nervousness; she quickly retrieves her hand, smiling a little at the woman sitting on the couch.
"I'm just asking."
"And I'm not joking."
The smaller woman quickly grabs the taller one's collar. Her action surprises the kneeling woman, but she still complies, standing uncomfortably as her wife pulls her close.
Xiaohui's eyes couldn't be read. Meixiu knows she's in big trouble; they might not talk for a month after this.
Meixiu remembered what happened back in college. She helped a woman get away from a perpetrator, but she got a month of cold shoulder from her girlfriend, Xiaohui.
And at this moment, Meixiu knew she was doomed.
The taller woman gulped at the aura her wife was emitting, her lips curving into a wary smile as she gently held the woman's shoulder.
"Your mom might see us."
"She's not here; sit down beside me."
Meixiu nodded, her feet standing up as Xiaohui removed her grip on the taller woman's collar. The mafia mob sat down beside her wife, giving the woman the space she needed.
Xiaohui's gaze landed on the wary woman beside her. Crossing her arms and legs, she raises an eyebrow as she side-eyes the taller woman.
Meixiu unconsciously glances at her wife's nightgown, noticing it lifts when the woman raises and crosses her milky-smooth legs.
"Why are you so far away and being perverted?"
Meixiu cleared her throat, her cheeks painting a deep shade of red as she looked away from the woman beside her. Xiaohui stands up, her hips consciously swaying seductively.
The taller woman glances at her from head to toe; she couldn't help but gulp in the process. Xiaohui takes the place on Meixiu's lap, her hand on the taller woman's shoulder.
Meixiu sighs loudly, her hand situated on her side as she looks directly at her wife's gaze. The smaller woman's eyebrows raise, not feeling the warm hold she's been craving.
"Hold me."
"Baby—"
"She's not here!"
Meixiu quickly put both of her hands on Xiaohui's side. The smaller woman trapped her bottom lip, her gaze unconsciously landing on Meixiu's slightly larger hands.
The taller sighs in disapproval, her head shaking before she retrieves her hand away from Xiaohui's side.
"No, this can't happen."
"Why? We've been married for 5 years."
"Yes, and I respect you. I'm all sweaty and dirty."
Meixiu couldn't help but sniff, her nose picking up the natural scent the woman's body had been emitting. Meixiu was quick to lean her back on the couch, giving the woman as much space as she could.
But her actions only add fuel to Xiaohui. The smaller woman scoffed, her hands grabbing Meixiu's collar again before pulling the woman yet again.
"Then let's be sweaty and dirty."
"Meixiu! You're fantasizing about my daughter again, you pervert!"
The tall woman jumps up from the bed, her eyes widening upon seeing that she's lying on completely clean sheets. Her gaze landed on the door, seeing it shaking as the middle-aged woman in front continued to bang it open.
"Xiaohui will be late! There is no food at the table!"
The taller woman looks at her phone, her mind cursing herself upon realizing that it's already 8 in the morning. She quickly stands up, fixing the bed before walking to the closet to change her clothes.
She walked out of the bedroom, her eyes darting at the middle-aged woman who held a glare at the younger. Xiaowen looks at the woman up and down, her arms crossing before she scoffs.
"Look, you weren't even working, and you let my daughter go to the supermarket!"
Just as Xiaowen finished speaking, the door opened. It reveals the woman they're talking about. Meixiu quickly left her mother-in-law in the doorway, walking towards her wife and helping the smaller woman out.
"You didn't wake me up."
Xiaohui stayed silent as she stared at Meixiu. The taller woman sighs and grabs the groceries out of the smaller woman's hands, walking towards the kitchen and starting to cook the dish.
The smaller woman was left in the doorway. Her mother, Xiaowen, couldn't help but glance at the two. It's quite strange that the smaller woman didn't even smile at the taller one.
Her mind quickly thinks that Xiaohui's finally realizing Meixiu's not worth it.
Xiaowen quickly walks to her daughter, her lips curving into a big smile as she drags the woman towards the couch.
"Oh, my daughter, you've been doing such hard work."
Xiaowen purposely loudened her voice, wanting the woman in front of the kitchen to know her intention. With Meixiu, guilt-tripping the taller woman and her daughter, wanting to add fuel to the fire.
Yet, Xiaohui doesn't seem to mind her mother.
The younger woman stands up from the couch, her eyes rolling at her mother's antics before walking into their bedroom. Xiaowen's eyebrows furrowed at her daughter's action.
"Garbage! What did you do to my daughter!?"
Xiaohui sighs in disappointment, her head shaking before looking at the neatly clean bed in front of her. She sat down on the mattress, her hand unconsciously rubbing the white blanket.
"How can she forget?"
