Newlyweds got the wrong marriage certificate, and his sweet, delicate wife is experiencing morning s

I clearly heard everything outside just now.

Why won't she say a single word?

Li Jiuyuan stared intently at Jiang Momo, seemingly trying to find an answer in her expression.

Why?

Does she think it's shameful to ask me to help her?

Jiang Momo hadn't felt afraid when facing Gu Lanzhi earlier, but now, seeing the anger in Li Jiuyuan's eyes, she felt a little uneasy.

She laughed it off, deliberately changing the subject.

"I do have something I want to tell you."

Li Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, his expression improving.

"you say."

Then Jiang Momo spoke in a lighthearted tone:

"Grandma said she wanted us to stay at her house for a few more days."

"that's all?"

Li Jiuyuan's expression, which had just turned cold, turned cold again.

Jiang Momo pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "I have something to do this afternoon and I'd like to go out for a bit, is that alright?"

She was still thinking about going to the hospital to see her grandmother today.

As the three months passed day by day, Jiang Momo's savings were less than five figures, and she was still thinking about where she could earn more money.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Momo could clearly sense that Li Jiuyuan was so angry he was almost speechless.

The other person looked at her, finally sighed helplessly, and softened their tone.

"Don't hide everything from me. Often, if you just spoke up, many problems could be easily solved. Why do you have to bear it all alone?"

Why should one person shoulder the burden?

Jiang Momo chuckled inwardly.

She didn't want to either, but what could she do?

In this world, apart from herself and her grandmother, she didn't believe anyone else could truly be relied upon.

So most of the time, no matter what happens or what she faces, she only has herself.

Over time, you get used to it.

Even if someone were to appear in front of her right now and tell her that she could rely on them.

Jiang Momo wouldn't believe a single word.

"Okay, I understand."

All of Li Jiuyuan's words seemed to hit cotton. He was a little angry and grabbed Jiang Momo's hand.

"Since you won't tell me, then I'll ask you: how did you get the injuries on your hands and the marks on your face?"

Jiang Momo's hand, which was being held, was so cold that she almost forgot the pain of being splashed with hot tea.

However, since I've almost forgotten about it, there's no need to continue talking about it.

But actually, she could see very clearly that Gu Lanzhi had deliberately switched the scalding hot teacup, which is why she accidentally picked up the wrong one and almost scalded the old lady.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and only hurt herself.

If the old lady is hurt, Jiang Momo will definitely be skinned alive by Gu Lanzhi.

"It's nothing, I just accidentally burned myself while pouring tea."

This time, Li Jiuyuan didn't press her for more information.

Instead, he stood in front of Jiang Momo, quietly waiting for her to continue.

No matter how long Li Jiuyuan waited, Jiang Momo didn't say a word.

He finally gave up, let go of Jiang Momo, and turned to leave.

Jiang Momo originally wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the nanny who came up behind her. She said that the old lady asked how her injuries were and wanted to ask her to come over and talk.

Watching Li Jiuyuan's retreating figure, Jiang Momo couldn't understand what he was angry about.

In the end, all these emotions could only be attributed to Li Jiuyuan's less-than-ideal work day.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the "Living Yama," his moods are unpredictable.

Back in the old lady's bedroom, the old lady first inquired about her injuries, and then kept her there for a while to talk.

The two had lunch together, but Gu Lanzhi made an excuse that she had other things to take care of and didn't come. Li Jiuyuan was also nowhere to be found.

The meal consisted of only the grandmother and grandson, and it was incredibly harmonious.

Jiang Momo didn't see Li Jiuyuan for the rest of the day.

She even took some time in the afternoon to go out and see her grandmother, only to find that Li Jiuyuan hadn't returned home yet.

It was as if this person had suddenly disappeared from her life.

Walking through the old house, Jiang Momo could still recall the memories of walking there with Li Jiuyuan when she passed by certain places.

But that person is no longer by my side.

At first, Jiang Momo felt a rare sense of freedom and was very happy.

But the longer it went on, the stronger her unease became.

At dinner, Jiang Momo chatted with the old lady as she did at noon, making the old lady happy.

But occasionally she would stare blankly at the empty dining table across from her, a sense of melancholy rising in her heart.

Thinking of the Jiang family's instructions to him, and his grandmother who was still waiting for surgery in the hospital.

Jiang Momo felt that things couldn't continue like this.

Regardless of whether she is wrong or not, she should admit it first and try to appease Li Jiuyuan.

Without further ado, Jiang Momo served food to the old lady while casually speaking:

"Grandma, what's wrong with Ninth Master? He clearly came back to be with you, so why hasn't he come home after being busy all day?"

The old lady saw the plea in Jiang Momo's eyes.

It directly exposed her disguise.

"Do you miss Jiuyuan? Do you want him to come back and be with you?"

"I don't……"

Jiang Momo lowered her head, and after a long while, she finally put on a shy expression.

"Um, Grandma, could you please call him back for me?"

Presumably, only through his grandmother would Li Jiuyuan be willing to come back.

The old lady said "good" several times, looking even more excited than Jiang Momo.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone call him home right now."

Jiang Momo felt a little relieved and served the old lady her meal.

As darkness fell, she waited until night enveloped the entire city, but Li Jiuyuan still hadn't returned.

In the end, Jiang Momo was so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.

In a daze, she seemed to feel someone approach her and carry her to the bed.

It was probably a dream.

This feeling was so familiar, as if this had happened countless times before.

So she followed her heart and clung to it completely.

The familiar scent brought Jiang Momo a sense of peace.

Since it was a dream, she became much bolder and blurted out all the things she hadn't dared to say during the day.

"Li Jiuyuan, you are so annoying."

"Hate?"

In her dream, Li Jiuyuan answered, and Jiang Momo nodded repeatedly, mimicking the action of snuggling into his arms.

In a daze, the other person asked another question.

What do you dislike about me?

Jiang Momo had completely lost consciousness and could no longer answer; she had fallen asleep.

She had a very childish dream, and when she woke up, she realized that she was lying in bed, in a similar position to the night before.

But there was still no one beside him.

Has Li Jiuyuan not returned all night?

Jiang Momo suppressed the bitterness in her heart. She finally remembered to serve tea to the old lady today, so she got up very early.

I ran into the villa's butler on the way.

Even though the other person was Gu Lanzhi's person, Jiang Momo couldn't help but chase after her and ask.

"Butler Li, did Ninth Master come back last night?"

When Butler Li spoke, he still used that businesslike tone.

"I've been back."

"But he seemed to be in a bad mood. He said he had things to do at the company and left in the early hours of the morning."
