Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby

Why Is Your Hand Injured?

Chi Su was equally astonished earlier today when the crown prince instructed him to pick up Li Shengxia because Mo Niancheng had never brought any woman home before. He offered to tidy up the guest room but the crown prince said she would be staying for a long time…

A long time…

Hearing that stunned him into silence. Did it mean Li Shengxia was going to be the female owner of this house?

He figured that he had to carry out the task cautiously and thus he behaved exceptionally courteous toward the woman…

She stared into the distance after registering the man’s words.

Mo Nianchen had never brought any woman home before? Could it be because of his mysophobia? He was allowing her into his house, though… Perhaps it was just to make their lie more convincing?

“Oh, where are my manners. I’m the personal assistant to the crown prince, Chi Su, the kind that’s always on call no matter the time of day.” The man intended to leave a good impression of himself.

Chi Su? Chi Su… It sounded almost like… Eating vegetarian? (TN: The word eating vegetarian in Mandarin sounds similar to the man’s name.”

Chi Su, eating vegetarian, reciting scriptures, Amitabha… A bubble of laughter escaped the woman’s mouth.

She realized she had been impolite after recollecting herself. “You have a unique name,” she said quickly.

“My mother is a vegetarian for religious purposes, thus the name.”

“I see.” A faint smile flashed across the woman’s face. For reasons unknown to herself, she found him less intimidating now. She seemed to also have relaxed a little.

The car came to a halt in front of a luxury mansion before pulling into the private car park. The massive garden was dotted with an extensive variety of trees and flowers, as if they had just entered a dreamy European-style castle from the medieval age.

Mo Nianchen’s house certainly had a massive upgrade… They used to be neighbors from the same area. Her living environment had not changed much over the course of the years but his house had transformed into a colossal castle.

She flinched from the pressure and suddenly wished to look for a way out. “Is Grandfather home?”

“Do you mean the elder?” the assistant replied, “He’s out of the country at the moment but could be back anytime soon.”

That meant Mo Nianchen’s grandfather was not always around. Therefore, had he always lived alone in that massive mansion?

“Please, Crown Princess…”

LI Shengxia braced herself to walk forward.

Chi Su led her all the way into the main hall and up the helical staircase.

He stopped in front of the room and Li Shengxia found herself holding her breath…

“Crown Princess, this is your room. It has been equipped with the daily essentials but do press the service button if you need anything else. The servants will be at your service.”

The man opened the door as he spoke…

She turned to check out the spacious and beautifully designed room and found no one in sight. A silent sigh escaped through her lips. Fortunately, this was not Mo Nianchen’s room…

The crown prince must be occupied with the myriad of affairs every day; he would not have the time to share a room with her. Phew… Inhale, exhale…

Then, the man’s voice rang in the air again.

“The crown prince’s special room is right next door. Please don’t disturb him unless he specifically calls for you. The crown prince dislikes other people going into his room and touching his belongings. I hope you understand this.”

“Of course,” she replied immediately.

She did not expect to be living in the room right next to his. She could not quite describe the feeling that was materializing in her heart at this instant…

Staying in separate rooms provided her a sense of security, at least she would not be under his watch 24/7. However, she could not help but entertain the possibility that he might barge into her room anytime soon since he was only a stone throw’s away.

The woman immediately locked herself in after the assistant took his leave.

She still felt slightly uneasy despite having done that.

What if Mo Nianchen barged into her room in the middle of the night? She made sure the windows were locked as well. Her effort seemed futile on second thought. This was his house thus he would have the keys to all the rooms. The man would still have ways to open the door even if she changed the lock.

Without caring about her consent or giving her time to get ready.

A shudder passed through her again at the thought of this. Rather he was here in the room right now instead of having to be paranoid of all the possibilities…

The woman awoke with a start several times through the night.

However, the man did not appear even until the next morning…

It appeared that she had been overthinking! Perhaps he would only call for her when it suited him. This would work as it gave her more personal space.

Realizing it was getting late, she quickly leaped out of bed to get ready.

Breakfast had already been prepared. This made her slightly uncomfortable because she was used to getting things done by herself. However, no one dared to trouble her thus she had no choice but to “enjoy” the fruit of their labor.

It baffled her that she had not seen Mo Nianchen for the entire day in his own house…

Finally, she gave in and questioned one of the servants. “Where’s the crown prince?”

“Crown Princess, it’s not within our rights to enquire the crown prince’s whereabouts.”

Nor to report it to someone else…

An embarrassed smile flashed across Li Shengxia’s face. “Fair enough.”

It did not concern her if he was still sleeping or if he had gone out. She could not care less if he was not even here last night. She had a few quick bites of the breakfast in front of her so she could leave for work sooner.

Unexpectedly, Mo Niancheng came down the stairs right this moment…

He was upstairs? That meant he was sleeping in the room next to her last night? A shudder passed through her and all she could think of was to get up and run away.

“Sit down!” he ordered just as she rose to her full height.

“I’m done eating,” she replied.

The man immediately instructed one of his servants, “Go on, make her another serving!”

“…” This rendered the woman speechless. “Um, it’s okay. I can’t eat that much anyway. There’s still some left on the plate so I’ll just have that.”

She had no choice but to sit down to accompany him…

His hand was heavily bandaged. A cold expression washed over his face after several failed attempts with the cutlery…

She stole a glance at him out of the corners of her eyes.

“What? Feed me,” he said flatly.

“But I’m not finished.”

“You just said you’ve had enough.”

She had nothing to say against that. “Why is your hand injured?”

She remembered him wrapping up her wound. Well her wounds had already healed but his injuries seemed to be worse than hers. Did she transfer her wounds to him through touch or something?

A sullen look took over his face upon remembering his wound from hitting one of the car windows the day before. “No speaking during meal times!”

“…”

She had no choice but to remain silent.

“Why are you still sitting there? Do you think you can take my money and live in my house for free? Come over here and feed me!!”

What a haughty and arrogant man.

Those maids standing in a row behind him were overjoyed.

Maid One’s eyes twinkled with brilliance. ‘Crown Prince is so cool! He’s sexy even when giving instructions.’

Maid Two had butterflies in her stomach. ‘Crown Princess is the luckiest.’

Maid Three allowed her fantasy to run a little. ‘How nice it would be if I’m the one who gets to feed the crown prince.’
