Xiao Xiang was a well-behaved girl and a good wife, but there was one thing about this otherwise perfect girl that was not to his liking: she did not meet his expectations. He always found excuses not to go back, and recently, because he had to carve this lotus, he had not gone back for a month.
Now she is back. If she finds out that he is married, will she be upset? Or will she never speak to him again? Bai Yuting is very uneasy.
Cheng Ying finally comes to her senses, and Tang Ziyu can rest assured and have a good nap in her room. When she wakes up, she sees Master Bai sitting there, staring at her blankly. She can’t help but smile, ‘Don’t you recognise me?’
‘Yes, a little. You’re smiling like you’re crying now.’ “Can you hug me?” Tang Ziyu held out her arms. She needed warmth, someone to comfort her and make her feel safe.
Bai Yuting reached out and put his arms around her, letting her lean on his shoulders. “What should I call you now? Should I call you Second Young Lady, like them, or Second Young Master?” Tang Ziyu grabbed one of his hands. ’What do you want?’
Bai Yuting paused for a moment, then said, ‘Give me back my Second Young Master!’ Tang Ziyu sat up and turned to look at him. Yes, she had almost forgotten that person, the confident person, the person who dared to argue with Situ, the person who commanded several Jade Workshop masters, the person who talked about her ambitions to her adoptive father.
Tang Ziyu suddenly realised that over the past six months, she had been living under Mu’s care, slowly forgetting herself and becoming a parasite. She looked at Bai Yuting and didn’t expect him to see so clearly, and she herself had almost forgotten the confidence she once had. She was a woman with dreams, wasn’t she? But now, she was more easily content with Mu’s tenderness, doing nothing every day, no wonder Bai Yuting would say that about her.
‘Am I still your second young master?’ Tang Ziyu looked at him, and Bai Yuting nodded vigorously, then took a box from the side. “I made it, it’s new.”
Tang Ziyu opened the box, and inside was a jade dragon that could be fixed to her body, just the way she had said. Only this one was actually thicker at one end and thinner at the other. A dragon was carved on each side, but it was very smoothly polished. “Which end do you want to use?” Tang Ziyu narrowed her eyes at him.
Bai Yuting’s face suddenly turned red, ‘Whatever you say, boss.’ Although he was married, he still missed the days when Tang Ziyu often called him in to help her out with ideas, even if it did hurt a little.
Tang Ziyu immediately smiled contentedly, ‘Come over here and help me feel good first, and then I’ll let you feel good!’ Her deliberately flirtatious look made Bai Yuting want to laugh. But he did want to please his mistress.
