Chapter 58 -58 Ye Chuyi, Open the Door!

Tang Jin heard her easily call her “Mom” and smiled until her eyes squinted, “I’ve been in good spirits these past couple of days, and today at noon Tingyuan even helped me take a stroll in the garden twice!”

“That’s good, I’m relieved if you’re feeling well.”

Tang Jin pulled out a jade bracelet from under her pillow, took hold of Ye Chuyi’s hand, and slipped it onto her wrist, “Wear this bracelet for fun, look how well it suits you.”

Ye Chuyi stared at the bracelet, slightly stunned.

The bracelet was a uniform, brilliant green, crystal clear, made from the highest quality Imperial Green Jade, with a rich color that shone luminously. It was obviously worth a fortune.

But Ye Chuyi’s shock wasn’t over the bracelet’s worth; it was because its jade quality and texture matched exactly with a pendant she had once acquired.

She couldn’t help but gently caress the jade bracelet, “It’s beautiful, Mom. Are there many of these quality jades?”

“Not many, over these many years, I’ve only come across a single bracelet like this one, but you occasionally might see other smaller pieces on the market.”

Tang Jin, seeing her delight, was very happy inside. At last, there was something her daughter-in-law liked. This gift had hit the mark.

“Xiaoyi, I heard from Uncle Xiang that last night Tingyuan upset you, and you left? Don’t worry, I already scolded him severely during the day. He’s cold and indifferent, sometimes ungrateful. Don’t take it to heart.”

Ye Chuyi turned to glance at Sheng Tingyuan with a smile, trying to cheer her up, “Not at all. Tingyuan is fine. It’s good that he’s a bit aloof and cool, it means he won’t go philandering, which puts my mind at ease.”

Tang Jin wholeheartedly agreed, “Right, that’s the spirit. You understand perfectly. I’m hoping that you can give birth to a child soon, so don’t get angry at him. After all, husband and wife should sleep together, don’t you think?”

Fine then, it looks like I won’t be able to leave tonight.

Ye Chuyi was quite generous, “You’re right, Mom. I’ve forgiven him.”

Tang Jin was extremely gratified, feeling that Sheng Tingyuan had married the right person. Where else could he find such an understanding and reasonable girl?

She patted Ye Chuyi’s hand, “Alright, go freshen up. I’ll give Tingyuan a talking-to.”

Ye Chuyi nodded and left her bedroom.

As the door closed, she faintly heard Tang Jin say, “Tingyuan, I only recognize Xiaoyi as my daughter-in-law. Forget about the one in your heart, quickly!”

“Make sure to appease Xiaoyi tonight. Whatever she wants you to do, just do it. If you upset her again and she leaves, don’t bother coming back to see me.”

Walking upstairs, Ye Chuyi chuckled lightly. Her strategy from last night had indeed worked; even her mother-in-law was blaming him now.

What tactic should she come up with tonight to sleep in a different room from him?

She went to Sheng Tingyuan’s bedroom.

His bedroom was large and tidy, with two sets of pajamas laid out on the couch—one black, the other white. The white one was slightly smaller and obviously brand new; it must have been prepared by Tang Jin for her.

Besides the pajamas, there was also a big bag of lingerie. Ye Chuyi casually took out a couple of pieces to look at, most of which were sexy and daring styles.

Ye Chuyi shook her head. Tang Jin really went out of her way to help them conceive a child!

She went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out with her hair dried, she saw that Sheng Tingyuan had already returned. He was in his pajamas, with slightly damp short hair, appearing to have bathed as well.

She cleared her throat, “I’m thirsty. Go pour me a glass of water.”

Sheng Tingyuan initially wanted to refuse, but remembering what Tang Jin had said, he went out to pour water for her in the end.

However, when he returned, he discovered that the bedroom door was locked from the inside.

His expression darkened, “Ye Chuyi, open the door!”
