It’s been three days since the launch of the new gift box. Everyone was rushing to buy it. Ye Jiayao had originally prepared three hundred boxes and they were all sold out in less than half a day. Those who weren’t able to get the gift box pre-ordered for the next batch of stocks.
She calculated the accounts and found that today’s net profit was about 2,300 silvers. She was expecting this to rise since the number of pre-orders for tomorrow’s delivery has exceeded the sale number for today
“Second Young Lady, we received another order of 20 boxes orders,” Jiang Yue reported cheerfully as she ran in. “It seems that we have to make five hundred boxes tomorrow.”
“We can make the pastries, but I’m afraid we won’t be able to make enough medals to match,” Ye Jiayao worried.
She paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Have Manager Zhao persuade the shop workers to work overtime. Remind them not to skimp on the quality though.”
Rich people don’t care about the price as long as it matches the product’s quality.
“Okay, Second Young Mistress!” Jiang Yue’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She was happy that these gift boxes were doing so well. She was even happier and prouder that she had a hand in creating them. She really admired the Second Young Mistress’ ability to create new ideas that people would love. It was like her creativity was just always on high!
After Jiang Yue left, Ye Jiayao sat in front of the abacus again to recalculate the accounts that she just counted. She was slowly fiddling it, her mind out of focus, so she kept on making mistakes.
When Jiang Yue came back, Ye Jiayao was still by the abacus, still calculating and still making mistakes.
“Second Young Lady, let’s go back to the mansion,” Jiang Yue urged gently. The Heir-son Lord would be coming home today and she wanted the Second Young Mistress to be there when he does.
“The accounts are not right, I need to count them again,” Ye Jiayao told her calmly.
“Count them again?! Second Young Lady, you have been at this for hours,” Jiang Yue muttered. Was she really prioritizing this over finally seeing the Heir-son Lord again?
Ye Jiayao sighed in defeat, pushing the abacus away and closing the account book. It was time to face her reality.
When Ye Jiayao returned home, Qiao Xi reported, “The Heir-son Lord has returned. He changed his clothes and went to see Madame. He said to let you know about this as soon as you return.”
Ye Jiayao nodded, her face betraying her melancholy. She proceeded to wash and change her clothes before heading to the dinner table.
Today’s mood was considerably better than the past ones.
Liu Li and Chunfeng would occasionally look at each other and share a smile.
Qiao was being more attentive and pleasing to You more than usual.
Even Xia You has a gentle smile on her face the whole time.
It seemed that it was only Chunyu and Ye Jiayao who are having problems.
Throughout their meal, Ye Jiayao would feel eyes on her, but every time she would look at Xia Chunyu, his head was down as if focusing on his food.
The pang of loss that Ye Jiayao has in her heart was unbearable.
After dinner, the Old Lord called his sons to the study room while the women retreated to have some tea.
“The day after tomorrow is the Laba Festival. In the past years, it was only Qiao who helped me take care of the sacrifices. Now that Jinxuan and Liu Li are part of the family, and now that the Third Family’s here, the sacrifices should be grander. Jinxuan, shadow Mingxiu and learn about the sacrifices,” You said warmly.
“Yes, Mother,” Ye Jiayao said absent-mindedly.
“Mother, what should I do?” asked Liu Li.
You told her, “You should learn it as well. In the future, you will have to take care of this yourself.”
Liu Li answered respectfully, “Then I will follow Big Sister-in-law.”
As the rest of the ladies talked, Ye Jiayao sat quietly to the side, not hearing a word. Her mind was only focused on Chunyu.
What more did he want from her? Why was he making such a big deal out of this? It was starting to affect everything around her and she doesn’t like it. She’s never been this hung up on a guy before.
She wasn’t aware when the conversation ended. She just saw Qiao and Liu Li got up so she just followed them.
As she was walking out, she heard Liu Li call for her, “Second Sister-in-law, you seem sad today. What’s wrong? Did you and Second Brother-in-law get into a fight? Did he believe the rumors? I can’t blame him. You’re so attractive that he’s right to be nervous with you around other men.
This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise for Liu Li. Not only did the trouble that she stirred up made her and Chunfeng closer, but it also caused a rift between Chunyu and Jinxuan. It seemed like she hit two birds with one stone.
Ye Jiayao barely even spared her a glance.
“Second Sister-in-law, do you want Chunfeng to talk to Second Brother?” Liu Li continued with a smirk.
Jiang Yue turned to look at Liu Li and muttered, “Third Young Lady is too odious.”
“Let it be,” Ye Jiayao said emotionlessly. She wasn’t in the mood to spar with Liu Li and she was honestly the least of her problems right now.
When Xia Chunyu got back, he immediately headed up to the washroom. Qiao Xi followed to serve him but he uttered a firm rejection.
Qiao Xi looked worriedly at the Second Young Lady. They couldn’t go on like this anymore.
Ye Jiayao whispered, “Step outside.”
Xia Chunyu came out after a few minutes and Ye Jiayao moved to dress him. He, however, turned to avoid her hand and walked to the cabinet. He opened it only to find it empty.
Even Ye Jiayao didn’t know why the quilt wasn’t there. She believed it must’ve been Jiang Yue or Qiao Xi’s work.
Xia Chunyu saw that the bed has two quilts on it so he took one and walked straight to the study.
Ye Jiayao followed behind him. “Hey, what do you want from me?”
She has thought about a lot of what she was going to say to Chunyu once he comes back. That was undoubtedly not one of those ideas.
Xia Chunyu remained expressionless and silent as he made up his bed.
This just frustrated Ye Jiayao, making her forget about all the speeches she prepared for his return. “You have completely blown this up to such a huge proportion. Why are you so angry? How am I the bad guy here? You know, if you don’t want to see me anymore, just tell me and I will leave.”
Xia Chunyu did not even bat an eye.
Ugh! He’s such a f*cking child! “I will take your silence as an agreement,” Ye Jiayao threatened.
Xia Chunyu still did not respond.
“Fine, you stupid donkey!” Ye Jiayao yelled in frustration before stomping out.
Was he still doubting her? After enduring everything their marriage brought unto her? She’s been working her ass off to please his family and he still thinks she didn’t care about him? She has endured humiliation and defamation for him and his family! Did he not realize that?
When he heard her footsteps, Xia Chunyu looked up to watch her. When he saw that she wasn’t leaving the room, he lied back down and closed his eyes.
In actuality, he’s no longer mad at her. He just wanted her to say something nice to him for once. He wanted her to be affectionate. It was always him who was trying to woo her, he wanted her to make the effort just this once.
Suddenly, he was plunged into darkness. This woman actually turned the light off and went to bed? Xia Chunyu grumbled silently in annoyance.
Ye Jiayao started shivering. Since Chunyu took the other quilt and she forgot to tell Qiao to get a warmer for the bed, she was now freezing. She glanced toward the study, an idea forming in her head.
She got up and lit the oil lamp.
Xia Chunyu quickly closed his eyes when he heard her move. It sounded like she was coming into the study.
Come on, Yaoyao, say you want me back and I will let this all go.
However, he was surprised when his quilt was lifted off of his body.
He sat up, dumbfounded. Was she trying to freeze him to death?
He jumped out of the couch and chased after her. “Give me back the quilt.”
Ye Jiayao grinned and hugged the quilt to her. “This is mine.”
“Yours? Is your name on it?” Xia Chunyu caught the corner of the quilt.
“It’s mine. If you want a quilt, go ask Qiao Xi.”
Ye Jiayao tugged the quilt back and lied on the bed, wrapping it around her.
Xia Chunyu lied down beside her, pulled the quilt under her body, and covered himself with it. “Ha! It must be you who told them to hide the extra quilts.”
Ye Jiayao pulled on the quilt. “Don’t flatter yourself. That kind of underhandedness is beneath me.”
“Stop denying it. We both know the truth.”
“What truth? You know what, just leave me alone as you’ve done in the past days. I don’t care anymore.”
See Her to cry, Xia Chunyu some at a loss, the mouth is also not agile: “when did I say tired of you?”
“you didn’t say but you did. Now everyone is looking at my joke. Are you satisfied? What did you say? Never make me feel wronged, what you said is all bullshit.” Ye Jiayao shouted at him.
“who will laugh at you?” Said Xia Chun. “you are too much.”
“the colored glaze laughed at me, you didn’t see her that elated strength, my lung almost gas exploded, Xia Chunyu, I so pour out my heart to you, you treat me like this!”! If I had known you were such a man, I wouldn’t have married you if I had married a pig or a dog, take the opportunity to scold, do not hold in these days of this breath to scold out, she will be internal injury.
That’s calling him a pig and a dog! Xia Chunyu chagrined, how the situation on the reversal of it? Can’t even remember the turning point, and somehow he’s the guilty one.
“Vroom, Vroom, do you know what I’ve been through the last few days? In front of everyone’s strange eyes but also pretend to be nothing, every day hard work, can not eat sleep, think really cold heart, how can you so cruel, cruel people afraid, how many times want to walk away, nothing, go far, you will also save heart, but I am afraid of my parents sad, living endure, endure…” ye Jiayao tears fell more dense.
Xia Chun in the heart all want to be broken by her to cry, stretch hand to want to help her wipe tears, she wanders away.
“you told me to think it over, but did you think it over yourself? Do you really think I’m doing this for your money? You ate it up, gave it to you. What more do you want? How far do you want me to go? Why Don’t you think about how I feel? Do you know my pain? The better you are to me, the more I fear, in two years and five months, on that day, if you say, Ye Jinxuan, our contract is up, you must go… I don’t know what I will feel at that moment, and you force me to say, what do you want me to say? What can I say?” Ye Jiayao is really very sad.
Summer Chunyu vibration, guilt, he knew that there will not be that day, in the sky to find her that moment, he decided that this life will not let go, what contract, just in order to reach the destination as soon as possible, he had been trying to get her to understand him, but he had ignored her feelings, not expecting that the contract would upset her so much.
He licked his dry lips and whispered, “Yao Yao…”
“you don’t call me, I hate you so much, go away, go away… I never want to see you again, take the quilt away, I’ll Cry Myself to death and don’t want you to care…” Ye Jiayao sobbed on her pillow, you son of a bitch, let me worry, the body of the meat is white a few pounds, do not give you some pain, I do not name Ye.
What face, what step, what original intention Xia Chunyu can not remember all of it. His heart ached to death, he really wanted to give himself a slap in the face. He was the one who had been unclear in his mind, he’s such a jerk… What’s wrong with going to his mother for help with something like that, when he’s so hell bent on getting things done that makes Yao Yao so sad.
“I’m sorry, it’s All My Fault, I promise it won’t happen again…” Xia Chunyu gently stroked her a pull of the shoulder, sincerely apologize.
“you go, what you say, I no longer believe, vuvuzela…” ye Jiayao cry high and low wan, End is sad.
Xia Chunyu silently half ring, jump out of bed.
Ye Jiayao burst into tears, really rolling?
Whimpering, peeping at him, he went into the study. She cried even more loudly, Nyima County, the rotten men do not come to the plot, should not continue to apologize, apologize again and again just right?
Instead, the guy comes back with a box in his hand.
“Yao Yao, I’ll tell you the truth, I never wanted to fulfill this contract in the first place, I married you for real, I married you to live with you for the rest of my life, so now I’m going to burn it in front of you, and you’ll never have to worry again, even if you regret it, I won’t let you go,” he said, xia Chunyu took out the contract to get close to the lamp to light.
Now Ye Jiayao is shocked. He really burns!
Looking at the paper was engulfed in flames, Ye Jiayao head a blank.
The Summer Chun is in the deep black mou son in Lian Yan is having the infinite gentleness, the soft voice way: “Now, you believed?”
Ye Jiayao corner of the mouth: “You don’t think the contract burned I will forgive you, the hearts of the people will change.”
Isn’t that enough? Xia Chun was at his wit’s end: “then you say, how to believe me?”
Ye Jiayao Meng Sit Up: “Unless you make a written statement, in the future if you do sorry to me, you clean out of the house.”
Er… … Xia Chunyu is foolish live, half a day just Gnash one’s teeth a way: “your business experience can not use to come up to my head?”
Ye Jiayao said very seriously, “do you think I’m going after your property?”? If you won’t do me wrong, what are you afraid of? Or are you just not sure what you want? I would do it. If I did you wrong, I would leave the house.”
Be excited by her speech, Xia Chun in the heart a horizontal, teeth a bite: “immediately stand.”
After a pillar of incense, ye Jiayao carried the receipt with satisfaction and carefully put it into her safe. Xia Chunyu saw the curve of her mouth, and suddenly felt as if she had been sold and helped count money, what Happened Tonight was incredible. How did it come to this? I Can’t get my head around it.
The two of them lay back on the bed.
“Yao Yao, how do I feel this thing is not right!” Xia Chunyu wondered.
“what is wrong?” Ye Jiayao plays silly to fill leng, innocently looking at her.
Xia Chunyu said not to come, only feel gas not smooth ah!
“Chunyu, I’m so cold, I’m freezing,” she said, rubbing herself against his chest.
Xia chunyu hugged her: “Why are you so cold?”
Ye Jiayao said pitifully in his arms: “You are not in, I sleep alone how do not warm, to the dawn, feet are cold.”
“Won’t you ask Moon to get you a soup?”
“I don’t want soup woman, I want you.” Ye Jiayao sticks to him like a cat, and a paw is still fondling his chest.
Xia Chunyu was stirred up by her a stream of evil fire, for several days did not touch her, thought of all hair ache, turned over and pressed her under the body, the palm of his hand flexibly probed into her inside clothes, kneading her soft: “you want me, you said Oh…”
Ye Jiayao answered him with practical actions, he signed the indentured servitude, her boss should give some benefits.
The next day, we also see the son and the second daughter-in-law have to talk and laugh, the heart is all a sigh of relief, and finally it is sunny after the rain.
Xia Chunyu went to work for three days in a row and took a day off. In the morning, he accompanied ye Jiayao to the bakery and saw the hot scene of the bakery, xia chunyu surprised: “Your Gift Box unexpectedly so popular? Really Don’t know how these people think.”
Ye Jiayao white his one eye: “This calls Vogue to understand? All resemble you, I still have money to earn?”
Xia Chunyu can not help but think of that word evidence: “my body is all in your hands, what do you want? Besides the son, I can give nothing.”
Yejiayao blushed and whispered, “Don’t you see what this place is? What did Hun Say?”
Xia Chunyu see her blush to look like, especially charming moving, recall last night her enthusiasm, abdomen is like a fire.
Well, it’s time to think about the baby. Yao Yao will be eighteen in the New Year.
Ye Jiayao Remember You’s words, the cake room and the sky to live things arranged properly, early to return home.
For the first time, Jo had the feeling of being a sister-in-law. Her two younger brothers and sisters followed her. She, too, had to put on a good show.
Liu Li’s mind is not in the study at all, last night see ye Jiayao or a pair of Youyuan appearance, how to spend the night, on the face of spring? Are We back together?
Ye Jiayao know colored glaze a pair of eyes drop slip slip on her body to turn, see see see see see casually, my mother today a very happy!
“the sacrificial utensils are all to be polished, this is no good, they are still covered with dust, how can you do your work?” Joe checked them one by one, just as the political and religious director checks the sanitary work, see Ye Jiayao very want to give her a pair of white gloves.
“Joss-stick paper money all ready? Silver Ingot?” Qiao Shi checks the container to ask Lin Kun home.
Lin Kun’s family replied, “everything is ready and the silver ingot is folded.”
“are all the animals ready?”
Zhou Xing’s family came forward and replied, “everything is ready.”
“where’s the Laba Porridge?”
“the ingredients are all ready, the lotus seeds, peanuts, red beans and mung beans are all soaked down, and they will be boiled up in the morning.”
“well, remember to tell everyone in the kitchen to bathe and change tonight, and anyone who comes to the water will be turned away tomorrow.”
“Yes…”
Ye Jiayao, as well as remember, the feeling in the heart, the ancient sacrifice can be really grand ah, so many rules.
At ten o’clock the next day, everyone got up. It was still dark. Everyone went to the ancestral hall.
Ye Jiayao eyelids are not open, all sour and soft, heart complaints, a donkey, know today to sacrifice, but also hard to torment her, endless, almost did not break her old waist.
She suspected that the man was obsessed with the note, and that he was tormenting her on purpose.
When we got to the ancestral hall, Uncle San and his family were already there.
I hadn’t seen Zhou for days, and when I heard she’d been lying in bed for days, I didn’t think she’d come.
Zhou did not want to come, her face that day is lost, but ancestor worship is a top priority, she did not dare not come, this point she still has.
See Ye Jiayao, Zhou heart that hate ah! Several times in her hands, this little bitch is the bane of her existence.
Turning a blind eye to Zhou’s cold gaze, she stood calmly with him.
Youshi points a few people, cu eyebrow way: “Three Young Masters and three young grandmas how to not arrive?”
