Absolutely Spoiled - Chapter 49.3

Chapter 49.3

Ruan Qing entered the living room and spotted Zhao Xinyan and her one-year-old baby.

Realising what seemed to be happening, Ruan Qing became furious. 

Before Ruan Qing called her eldest daughter, she placed her sleeping son on the sofa because Zhao Xinyan was there. The son had been soundly sleeping, had woken up, and seemed to disturb Zhao Xinyan. But Zhao Xinyan ignored her brother and was playing with her mobile phone. Whimpering nonstop, the toddler collapsed to the ground and rolled over. However, despite coaxing the baby, Zhao Xinyan seemed irritated by the baby’s cry. 

“Yan Yan! How could you have done this? That’s your brother!” Qing Ruan hurriedly picked up her son. 

Hearing that from the other side of the phone, Yu Zhiyi spoke softly into the phone and hung up. “Bye now.”

‘Goodbye, mom!

I am no longer the child who longed for my parents’ care. I now have my own home.’

Yu Zhiyi’s wedding ring was more dazzling than the engagement ring. So Yu Zhiyi’s roommates found it as soon as she got back to the school dormitory, and they surrounded her.

Although Yu Zhiyi was 22 years old, graduate students getting married was not particularly unusual. 

Everyone in the dorm was envious of Yu Zhiyi’s relationship, as they all knew she had a great partner.

“Please show me this ring. It is quite lovely!”

“Wow! A diamond is on it. It must be really expensive.”

“Yiyi’s boyfriend can make money because he runs a company.”

“I really envy you! The country owes me a childhood sweetheart!”

Yu Zhiyi was surprised by their reaction. She didn’t expect such a big reaction at all.

Although she didn’t mind talking about her boyfriend, as now they were married, she was shy. She was unable to manage a lot of topics simply because of a ring.

She had a private conversation with Shi Yi about wearing her wedding band to school, but she also wanted to wear it because it held particular significance.

The pair of wedding rings, which was a bit showy, was bought by Shi Yi before they went to get the marriage license. So Yu Zhiyi thought to buy another pair, which was suitable for everyday wear. 

Since she had been surprised so many times by Shi Yi, she also wanted to surprise him. 

After looking through so many wedding rings and multiple discussions with her friends, Yu Zhiyi finally bought a pair of low-key wedding rings that engraved the letters SY on the inner side of the rings.

Yu Zhiyi personally set up a delicious table of food on Saturday night. It was so appealing, from the tablecloth to the food presentation, that it gave the impression that it was a candlelight dinner at a restaurant.

Shi Yi came home from work and entered the living room. He removed his coat, hung it, and changed his shoes. He entered the living room, but he didn’t see his young wife there, and it seemed very quiet. 

“Yiyi…”

A little head popped out from the kitchen. She had a spatula in her hand and was wearing an apron. “Just one dish remains. Soon, I’ll be there.”

Shi Yi looked at the dishes on the table. Along with some new ones he had never seen before, there were some of his favourites. 

‘I really married a virtuous and lovely wife.’

When the last dish was ready, Shi Yi brought it to the table while Yu Zhiyi took the pot to the sink.

Together, they worked in perfect harmony.

Yu Zhiyi, who had finished preparing the meal, washed her hands clean, took off her apron, and sat opposite Shi Yi in the dining room. 

She hid her hands under the table mysteriously and said, “Brother, I also have a gift for you.”

Shi Yi smiled. “What is special about today?” 

Yu Zhiyi tightly held the treasure in her hand and replied, “Does it have to be a special day to give a gift?”

“Yiyi is right.” He agreed unconditionally with his wife’s point of view. 

Yu Zhiyi snorted and laughed twice, then suddenly raised her hands from under the table. But her fingers were folded into fists. “Brother, choose one. If you choose the right one, you will get a gift. If you choose the wrong one… I’m very sorry.” 

“Do you still give gifts like this?” asked Shi Yi, grinning and arching his eyebrows.

Yu Zhiyi: “No matter what, just choose now.”

“Okay!” Shi Yi gave in to her requests and lifted his hand gradually. His finger swung back and forth, first from left to right and then right to left.

Yu Zhiyi nearly lost her balance as her eyes followed Shi Yi’s finger movement.

Shi Yi looked up at her at this time, twitching the corners of his mouth, and gestured with his index finger to her left hand. “This.”

With excitement, Yu Zhiyi quickly turned her hand over. “I’m going to open it. You watch it yourself, brother.”

“Okay!” Shi Yi nodded.

She unfolded her fingers slowly, revealing a man’s ring on her rosy-white palm. “Congratulations; you made the right choice!”

“If Yiyi wants to make your brother happy, there’s no reason to make such a big deal out of it. What happens if I choose the right hand?”

Following Shi Yi’s statement, Yu Zhiyi simply extended her right hand and revealed a ladies’ ring on her palm. “If you choose the right one, I’ll put it on you. If you choose the wrong one, you’ll put it on me! In short, no matter which one you choose, you won’t get wrong.”

Shi Yi didn’t take the ring. Instead, he hooked his finger at her and pointed to the chair next to him. “Come and sit here.”

Yu Zhiyi gave it very little thought, and she moved to sit close to Shi Yi. 

With a hand gesture, Shi Yi said, “Give me the ring.”

When Yu Zhiyi gave him the men’s ring, Shi Yi didn’t take it but asked for the other ring. 

Yu Zhiyi gave him a confused face, as though she didn’t know why he desired the other ring.

Despite her delayed response, Shi Yi nearly burst out laughing, asking, “Why? Do you still wish to wear it yourself?”

“Ah! I’m foolish.” She groaned and gave Shi Yi the ladies’ ring without more ado.

Of course, she also put the ring on Shi Yi.

The young couple had a very satisfying candlelight dinner.

Yu Zhiyi cooked, and Shi Yi took on the task of washing dishes. When he cleaned the kitchen, he wondered where his little wife had gone.

Yu Zhiyi just came out of the bathroom.

The air conditioner was switched on. Although she was only wearing a thin nightgown, she didn’t feel cold at all. Rather, she had the sensation of being in a scorching fire.

In addition to the ring, she also had a gift.

To proceed smoothly, she did her homework in advance and even consulted the experienced Wen Tingyu.

Yu Zhiyi sat on the bed, patted her cheek, and said to herself, “It’s so hot.”

Even after doing her homework, she still felt nervous.

Yu Zhiyi’s ears perked up as she heard footsteps outside the door. It was the noise of footsteps approaching the stairs, indicating Shi Yi’s presence. Soon after, as anticipated, Shi Yi pushed open the door.

He initially thought, “Why are you wearing so little?” when he discovered Yu Zhiyi seated on the bed in a flimsy nightgown. Shi Yi rushed over and covered his wife with the quilt.

Yu Zhiyi’s face became flushed by her husband’s action. Her two fair arms came out of the quilt, trying to stop him. “I’m not cold.”

“You can’t feel it for now, but you will catch a cold later.”

“I’m really not cold. I’m hot.” She didn’t lie. Now her heart was beating very fast, and her body was even hotter.

The overly concerned Shi Yi seemed to have finally reacted. His little wife’s reaction was quite interesting. “Have you taken a shower?” he asked, feeling the fresh scent coming from Yu Zhiyi’s body.

“Yeah, yeah!” She nodded twice, burying her head lower each time.

Shi Yi patted the quilt on her body and said casually, “Okay, you can rest first.”

‘Why? What does this mean?’

When Yu Zhiyi abruptly looked up and met Shi Yi’s half-smiley eyes, she was horrified to see that she had been deceived once more by him.

Shi Yi raised her chin with his fingers and planted a kiss on her pink lips, saying, “Be good and wait for me.”

Shi Yi went to the bathroom. 

Yu Zhiyi was aware of Shi Yi’s next move. ‘So after taking a shower…’

She didn’t keep track of time since she was too preoccupied thinking about other things, and it seemed like Shi Yi returned instantly.

A man in a bathrobe appeared more attractive.

Yu Zhiyi, with a fast-beating heart, sat straight on the bed, but she didn’t dare to look up, fearing she would meet Shi Yi’s eyes. 

Shi Yi came closer, leaned over, and lightly pinched his shy wife’s crimson cheeks. 

It felt as though an electric current had suddenly surged through her body, stimulating her entire heart. 

Under the dim lights, she heard his soft voice as he bent down to kiss her. “Well, now, I’m going to kiss you.”
