Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby

He Had Never Brought Anyone Home Before

In spite of that, Li Shengxia knew it was not fair that Rao Xueyue had to suffer because of her father. Therefore, she always tried to be respectful to the woman’s demands and not take her harshness personally.

This was why she was still speaking humbly to the latter at this moment. “I’ll take care of the company business without burdening you. Please don’t worry about that.”

The older woman thought otherwise. She was less mean to her stepdaughter prior to this because of her relationship with Yin Tangyi. However, the news of their breakup was already common news. She figured she could not take further advantage from that anymore. The disdain was audible in her voice.

“Oh, hey, you really think you’re the Young Lady of the household huh? Let me tell you this, don’t think you’ve accomplished something great just because you’ve solved the company crisis this time. You’re no longer the elegant lady now that you’ve broken up with Yin Tangyi so enough with that pretense of affection. Don’t forget about your bedridden father! He’s still costing us a fortune in the hospital. I would’ve divorced him long ago if you hadn’t been helping with the cost this whole time.”

“Aunt, please don’t! I know you’ve suffered tremendously but my father really can’t take any bad news at the moment. I’ll take care of the company as well as the household. I’ll pay for all your expenses so please don’t be upset.”

The older woman smiled in a cold manner. “That’s better!”

“But I must move out tonight,” she said again.

“What did you say?!”

“I’ve already hired a maid for you and I’m sure she’ll be more thorough than me in taking care of the house. Don’t worry about my father as well because I’ll sort out the hospital bills. But do visit him and spend some time chatting with him occasionally.”

“You have money to hire a maid?” Li Wanqiao sized her sister up and down in disbelief. “Li Shengxia, don’t you tell me that… You’ve been taken in as a mistress?”

“That’s not the case. I’ll start working in Emperor Heritage Group’s design department starting from tomorrow. I can afford to hire a maid for the house. The company is a distance from here so I intend to move into somewhere nearer,” she explained.

“Is it possible to earn that much by being an employee? At least you’d be a first wife if you married the seventy-year-old that I introduced you to. But you chose to be someone else’s mistress instead. Such a cheap woman you are,” her stepmother sneered.

Li Wanqiao on the other hand was surprised. “What did you say? Emperor Heritage? You’re going to work for them? You are becoming mistress to one of their employees?”

“I’ve already said that I’m not a mistress to anyone! Don’t worry about me. I’ll move out tonight no matter what.” She thought it was too much trouble trying to explain herself. “The maid will be here soon.”

“Mom, just let her go.” Li Wanqiao already anticipated being able to take advantage of the woman if she really worked with Emperor Heritage. It was said that numerous talents were working with them and most of the male employees were tall, wealthy, and handsome…

Besides, not only was Li Shengxia leaving but she also hired a maid for them. At least the mother and daughter would be left alone in good hands.

Although Rao Xueyue was always mean to Li Shengxia, she loved her own daughter tremendously. She knew the latter had something planned in mind thus she happily agreed.

“Alright then, you can move out if you want. Don’t trouble us unless absolutely necessary.”

“Thanks Aunt,” the young woman said before shifting her glance to Li Wanqiao. “Thanks, Elder Sister.”

“There’s no need to be polite since we’re all family. Shengxia, you better go pack your luggage. The sun is going to set soon and it’s dangerous to go out alone at night.”

“Yes.” The young woman went to her room to pack a handful of things she thought valuable to her into a small bag.

The second she stepped out of the Li residence, the stepmother twitched her lips into a cold smile. “She didn’t even bring any of her favourite clothes. I’m certain she’s turned into someone’s mistress.”

“Mom, let her be. As long as we’re still going to have a good life,” the daughter said with a smile.

“I’m not bothered. She must be filthy rich soon for being a mistress. We’ll enjoy a better life than this once we have more allowance.”

Li Wanqiao went over to shut the window. She called for her mother upon seeing Li Shengxia heading down the stairs. “Mom, come over here quick, Li Shengxia has really become a mistress. Look, there’s a Lincoln parked in front of her. I recognize this car from Emperor Heritage.”

Rao Xueyue could not help but become envious too. “This stupid girl is really blessed to find herself a wealthy man.”

“It’d be amazing if I found myself someone that rich too.”

“My beautiful darling daughter, don’t worry about that. So what if she found someone wealthy? I’ll find you a great suitor from a reputable family. Li Shengxia can be the mistress if she wants but you’re destined to be an elegant princess.”

“Hehe, you’re the best mom…” The woman hugged her mother joyfully though she could not take her eyes away from the sight outside the window…

Downstairs.

Li Shengxia noticed a black luxury car waiting for her the minute she left the house. The car window was winded down to reveal Mo Nianchen’s special assistant, Chi Su.

“Crown Princess, please get into the car. The crown prince has instructed me to pick you up.”

The woman did as she was told. She clasped her hands together nervously throughout the entire ride. Starting from today, she would be “controlled” by Mo Nianchen, even at night, but she knew she had no alternative.

“Crown Princess, please fasten your seatbelt.”

Embarrassed, she quickly did so. “Don’t address me as the crown princess. It sounds weird.”

“This is the crown prince’s order. You’ll get used to it soon enough.”

The man’s order? The frown on her forehead furrowed deeper as she wondered what was playing on his mind. She found herself in a confused state each time she tried to figure out the mess with that man.

He said he despised her but suggested the contract marriage. He treated her with such meanness and kindness at the same time. He called her his toy but then gave the order for others to address her the crown princess…

Mo Nianchen was such an unreasonable, moody lunatic! She was going crazy soon too after spending too much time with that man.

Chi Su noticed the woman’s deep frown and tightly clasped hands from the rearview mirror. “Crown Princess, please forgive me for being blunt but you don’t have to worry. The crown prince has never treated any other woman as seriously as he does to you.”

“Serious?” The woman lifted her head to meet the assistant’s gaze. This man had crisp short hair and prominent features that made him look smart.

Serious in keeping her as his toy? She thought to herself.

The man added on calmly. “At least, I’ve never seen the crown prince bringing any other woman home before.”
