The next day, Lihua staggered as she climbed down the steps, painfully holding her waist. Her eyes were misty as she recalled Wei's 'punishment' last night.

The result of his jealousy led him to eat his wife until she thoroughly understood not to provoke him even with a woman. Men or women, everybody was the same for the Mafia King. She could only get intimate with her husband, not anybody else even if it was fake. ​​

What did I do to suffer like this? It was only Jiang Ruiling, my cousin-in-law added to that!

At the breakfast table, Jiang Fai excitedly patted on a chair next to him. "Sister-in-law! Sit here! Look, I want to show you my new comic!"

Jiang Ruiling smiled. "Good morning," she blinked her eyes. "Why do you look so tired?"

Lihua looked at her in utter grievance, but she couldn't say what happened last night. Her smile faltered. "Nothing...Just was...awake till late night."

"Oh…" She understood it and lowered her head, secretly smiling.

Wei came down too and took a seat beside her but not before throwing a cold glare at Jiang Ruiling. She paused, noticing the dangerous aura that he emanated.

Why is cousin Wei looking at me like that as if I have made a huge sin?

The Old Madam narrowed her eyes. "Where is Weizhe?"

The maid hesitated. "Old Madam. Master Jiang Weizhe is at the other residence…"

She gritted her teeth. "Is that woman more important or being with his family here!? Useless!"

Lihua frowned. "She is also family. She is his wife, after all."

"Shut up! Don't ruin my morning with your useless chatter and especially about that woman!"

Her brow twitched.

Jiang Ninghong said, "Ruiling. Where is Shen Yang? I feel that he should be a part of our meals and gatherings from now on. He is your fiance, after all. Right, Old Madam?"

The Old Madam was a little uncomfortable, but she had to accede after she accepted him.

Shen Yang stepped in and stood in attention. "Yes, Madam."

Jiang Ninghong said, "Sit with us."

He widened his eyes in shock.

"You will be our son-in-law in the future. You are family now. Of course, you should have your meals with us."

"This…"

Ruiling nodded. "Yes, Shen Yang."

Lihua giggled. "Don't be so shy, brother-in-law."

He slightly blushed. But he still felt awkward to suddenly join. He had served them as a bodyguard for years now. It was difficult to adjust.

Jiang Weiyuan said, "It's an order, Shen Yang."

"...Yes, Master," he had no choice.

As the breakfast continued in silence, Lihua observed Jiang Li and Jiang Lanying. As expected, there was no sense of fondness between them. She even felt 'Stay away from me' vibes coming from Jiang Li.

Jiang Lanying was peeking at his side, stealing glances, but he didn't look back even once.

Hmm...she is sneaking glances at Jiang Li, not Wei. I think she definitely doesn't have any lingering feelings for him.

Plus, her eyes expressed how she wanted her husband's attention.

After the breakfast got over, Jiang Li was ready to leave when Old Madam coldly said, "Wait, Li. I want to talk about something important. Sit."

"I have an important meeting," he said without much emotion.

"Postpone it at a later time," there was finality in her voice.

He stared at her and then quietly sat back. The atmosphere seemingly turned serious.

The Old Madam sharply looked at him and Jiang Lanying. "You two. It has already been two years since your marriage. Why haven't I heard any news about your child yet?"

Lihua, who was drinking water, choked in her throat. She coughed hard as she looked at Old Madam in disbelief.

Is this a question to be asked in front of everyone!? Is this a question to be asked at all in the first place!?

Wei worriedly patted her back. "Are you okay?"

"... Barely," she whispered.

Jiang Lanying froze. She slightly clenched her fist as she glanced at Jiang Li.

The Old Madam banged her fist on the table. "Don't stay quiet for God's sake you two! You have been married for two years now! Why isn't there a child yet?"

Jiang Lanying panicked. "O-Old Madam…"

"What!? Don't stutter and stammer like an idiot! Give me an answer!"

Jiang Li shot an icy stare at her and said, "This is between me and her."

"No, it isn't! Everybody in our circle is questioning me about you. Why isn't Jiang Lanying pregnant yet? It's already two years now but why isn't there a child yet? Don't they want one? Do you understand how embarrassing it is for me?"

Jiang Lanying lowered her head and trembled. Tears threatened to fall, but she held it in.

Jiang Weiyuan and Jiang Ninghong exchanged serious glances. "Old Madam, they are still young."

"So? What are they waiting for? Do they want to wait until they reach their thirties?"

Jiang Ninghong said nothing.

Jiang Li's cold demeanor worsened. "You don't have to bother with answering anybody in the circle. They should handle their own family matters rather than poking into ours."

Lihua gave him a thumbs up and nodded in appreciation.

We don't have to act the way society wants us to.

Old Madam erupted in anger. "Enough Jiang Li! I won't tolerate this anymore. How long will this go on? You refuse to say anything on this matter, and I won't let you walk away like that. You will just waste year after year with this attitude!"

She scowled at Jiang Lanying. "And you! Rather than wasting time sitting in the house and doing nothing, work on getting pregnant! You are nothing but humiliating me!"

Jiang Li slapped his palm hard on the table and frostily glared at her. "You don't have to talk to her. I already said what I wanted to. There will be no discussion on this."

Old Madam snapped. "No buts on this discussion, Li! If Lanying cannot give me a great-grandchild as soon as possible, then you would have to divorce her! I will make you marry someone who can give me a child!"
