Chapter 1287: This Is My Wife

That sudden statement of sweet nothings caught Yu Lili by surprise. She looked up at Ou Ming, wrinkled her nose, and commented, “That’s so nauseating!”

Ou Ming just chuckled and pulled her down onto the sofa. “Let me stroke your back then. Does it still feel nauseating?”

Yu Lili was speechless with exasperation.

After another two days’ rest at home, Yu Lili was almost fully recovered. On the third day of her period, she suggested paying Ou Ming’s parents a visit at their home.

Before they went to the Ou residence, they first headed to the hospital to have Ou Ming’s cast removed. They hadn’t notified anyone of their plans beforehand.

When Nanny Zhang saw Ou Ming at the door, she was caught by surprise. Her surprise intensified even more when she saw Yu Lili standing behind him. She called out, “Madam, Young Master is back!” As she spoke, she looked at Ou Ming’s arm. “Has your arm recovered?”

Ou Ming changed to a pair of indoor slippers and replied, “Almost. I just have to be careful not to exert too much force. Also, Nanny Zhang, this woman here is my wife.”

He pulled Yu Lili over. It was obvious that he wasn’t intending to hide anything.

Yu Lili met Nanny Zhang’s gaze. With an awkward smile, she greeted, “How do you do, Nanny Zhang.”

“Very well, thank you. Hello, Young Madam. Please come on in. These indoor slippers for you are new.” Nanny Zhang acted quickly and retrieved a pair of pink indoor slippers from the cupboard. She removed the plastic packaging and placed the slippers in front of Yu Lili’s feet.

Yu Lili quickly took the slippers from her hands and said, “I can help myself. Thank you.”

The smile on Nanny Zhang’s face deepened. She nodded her head. “Sure.”

It was past 9 a.m. Usually at this time, Jiao Ziqing would be exercising with her face mask on or out with her close friends for a spa or shopping session. As for Ou Huojin, he would either be in the study or at his office.

This was what Yu Lili had learned from Ou Ming. She also asked about their hobbies and interests, for fear of accidentally offending either of them.

Indeed, upon entering, Ou Ming yelled out, “Dad! Mom!”

The sound of steady footsteps came from inside. Ou Huojin held a laptop in his hand. With glasses on his face, he didn’t bother to look up from his laptop as he remarked, “You finally show up!” He looked up after saying that. When he saw Yu Lili, an amiable smile broke out on his face. “Xiao Yu is here too! Have a seat!”

“Hello, Uncle.” Yu Lili greeted courteously.

Ou Huojin’s smile deepened even further when he heard the greeting, but only he knew the true reason for the smile.

“Where’s Mom?” Ou Ming asked.

“Probably in the yoga room. Go and have a look,” his father said.

Ou Ming nodded and held Yu Lili’s hand as he went inside.

Yu Lili resisted a little and took her hand back. She reasoned, “It might not be good if I went in with you.”

Would that come across as a lack of courtesy? It is highly likely that I’ll be chided for that.

Yu Lili was a little concerned, but Ou Ming quickly reassured her. “It’ll be fine. My mom should be in the yoga room. You do yoga too, don’t you? You’ll be able to exchange notes.”

Only then did Yu Lili muster up her courage and follow Ou Ming in. When they entered, they realized that Jiao Ziqing wasn’t practicing yoga. She was lazing around in the yoga room watching a show on her mobile phone.

Judging from the sound of the wailing, and the distinctive voice of the main female lead, Yu Lili recognized the show immediately as a currently popular daytime family drama. The show revolved around the conflicts between a woman and daughter-in-law as they both fought for the attention of the same man.
