Chapter 3 - Seeing things and feeling suspicious

Supper came and they were sitting at the dining table quietly eating. Her husband came home early today. She was eager to know why but kept it to herself. The thought that her husband must have remembered her incoming birthday. She smiled, showing her deep dimples on both of her cheeks.

In front of her was the little girl they took in. Not that little, but she treated her like a little sister because she was younger than her by a year and half. Jing Wei is a 22 year old woman. They took her in when her husband found her on the streets. Jing Wei was abandoned by her betrothed and was 2 months pregnant. She pitied the poor woman and took her in as what her husband suggested. She treated her like a little sister and took care of her. Then soon after few weeks she found out that she was pregnant for almost three months. She was happy to know that she gained a sister and a child.

Ji Xuan, her husband is a CEO of the company that she gained from her deceased aunt. Her aunt died without being wedded and as the only little girl in their family she was favoured and got her aunt's will.

Her husband took care of the company even if the ownership of the company was still hers. Xuan sometimes ask her to give her the title but she always tell him that it was her memory of her aunt and she promised not to give it away. They had fought over it a lot and always ended up with an unwanted curses. But soon her husband will apologize.

She does sometimes feel bad and think that her husband was only after her money but soon scold herself for being stupid.

She doesn't know that her husband was indeed after her money.

She finished her meal and watched her family enjoying their food. She fed Jiuhan and when he was full he quickly wiggled causing the spoon to fell off the table. She leaned down the table and picked the spoon up but on her peripheral vision, she saw her husband's hand on Wei Mei Mei's b.a.r.e legs c.a.r.e.s.sing it. She closed her eyes as she felt her heart beating fast but as she opened it up she saw no hands on Wei Mei Mei's legs.

She sighed and scolded herself for she is starting to see things again like always. But her heart was still feeling a little off. She sat up and act as if nothing happened and carried Jiuhan up.

"Xuan, Wei Mei mei, I will just take Jiuhan for a bath. I'll be back" she told them and smiled.

"Hmm Wuyuan jie we will take care of the kitchen you should rest after taking care of Jiuhan" Wei told her and ushered her to go.

Her husband just nodded his head without even taking a glimpse of her. He was looking down and his one hand under the table as if he was busy. She turned away but caught a glimpse of Wei's expression. She was gripping the table cloth while biting her lower lip and her eyes closed as if tasting something good.

Wuyuan felt her heart thumped but didn't know why her heart hurts as she saw that expression. She felt a bit of doubt but was interrupted by Jiuhan's cries. He was looking at her with eyes filled with worry, like he understands what she felt. And as if he knew something she don't. She felt her heart warmed and brushed negative thoughts off

She doesn't have time on seeing things and feeling suspicious. She don't have time and courage to know the truth. Not yet. But she will be. Soon enough.
