Chapter 169 – Give me a break
After less than half a month in the hospital, Asher couldn’t stay any longer and after his repeated pleas, Mia finally agreed to discharge him and return to the villa.
When they returned to the villa, Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian were standing at the entrance of the villa, and when they saw Mia and Asher walking out together, a playful smile like a teenage girl appeared on Lily’s face, and she said softly to Jun Haotian beside her, “Haotian, look at my solution, how is it?”
“Anyway, look at the smile on Asher’s face now, I know you have the right approach.” Jun Haotian took his wife’s arm affectionately, and although his face was already finely wrinkled, he was still handsome and could still be seen in his younger days.
Their eyes, looking straight at the pair of young men walking together towards them.
After getting out of the car and seeing Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian standing in the doorway, Mia snapped her head down, blushing, and whispered to Asher, “Asher, your parents are standing outside, what can we do about this?”
“What’s wrong with my parents standing outside? Their daughter-in-law is coming back, so naturally they have to come out, so what’s wrong with that?” The shyness on the little woman’s face beside her made Asher’s heart swell, and he even took the little woman beside him into his arms in front of Jun Haotian and his wife, looking at his parents who were standing at the door demonstratively.
“Asher, get your hands off me or I’ll get really mad, how can you do that in front of your parents!” Seeing Asher not only didn’t let go of her, but instead intensified, Mia gave him a fierce white look, her face so red she could pinch water.
Mia darted a quick glance at the, smirking Jun Haotian couple standing in the doorway, and darted her head down again, desperate to find a crack in the ground.
Seeing the shy look of the little woman beside him, Asher’s heart was clear, but he couldn’t bear to make things difficult for her, and immediately let go of her shoulders and nodded with a smile on his face, “Fine, fine, I won’t dare to do it again, just spare me, okay?”
The interaction between the two of them was seen by Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian, and both of them had knowing smiles on their faces, especially Lily, who smiled smugly at Jun Haotian, “Haotian, in all our son’s life, have you ever seen him being so submissive to a woman? Don’t you feel that I’ve done the right thing?”
“Ugh, people’s girls haven’t even married our son yet, and you’re already making decisions for your daughter-in-law, look at this mother you’re being.” Although he said this, but Jun Haotian’s face was also full of satisfaction, “However, it’s rare to see my son like this, barely your idea is okay.”
As they spoke, Asher and Mia had walked up to the two, Lily reached out and took Mia’s arm affectionately, “Mia , you’re finally back, I’ve had your rooms arranged, if you don’t like them, I can still have them changed for you.”
“Mom, look at you, we haven’t even gotten married yet and you’re already looking towards your daughter-in-law, this is making me uncomfortable inside.” Seeing his mother and Mia making out, Asher was all smiles, but deliberately teased Lily.
Jun Haotian helped at the side, “Yes, Mia has not yet passed through the door, your mother began to be partial, you do not even know, you live in that room, or your mother personally had someone to clean it …”
“Hao Tian, you’re the one who talks too much, you know everything alright?” Lily glared at her husband unforgivingly and took Mia’s arm, walking intimately towards the living room, “Mia , if you need anything, just tell auntie, and also, if you suffer any grievances, tell auntie as well. With Auntie around, I’ll see if this kid dares to bully you!”
After half a day of squirming, Mia finally whispered, “Auntie, there’s nothing inconvenient about me coming to stay here, is there?”
“Mia , we’re all family now, what’s so inconvenient about it? I was afraid that you wouldn’t like this silly boy and wouldn’t like living here!” Lily gave Mia a pouting look, not knowing why, she had liked Mia from the first time she saw her, and now she was getting more and more comfortable with her.
The four were heading towards the living room when they saw Grandpa Jun standing in the doorway with a stony look on his face, watching them with unblinking eyes.
“Dad!”
“Grandpa!”
After seeing Grandpa Jun, the light and lively atmosphere just now was swept away and turned unusually grave, especially Mia, who knew that Grandpa Jun had always had deep prejudice against her, immediately lowered her head and her face turned red.
“Dad, Asher’s health is just fine, Mia and he just came back, let’s …” Seeing Grandpa Jun’s gloomy face, Jun Haotian immediately turned very uneasy, although Asher are about to get married and have children, but in Grandpa Jun in front of him, he was still very nervous.
Lily glanced uneasily at Grandpa Jun, then at Asher and Mia, and spoke timidly, “Dad, you’re …”
“Since we are all back already, let’s order the kitchen to make something delicious and let’s have a meal together as a family. Asher has also suffered a lot, so it’s a good way to pick up the pieces, right?” With a serious look at everyone, Grandpa Jun slowly opened his mouth.
After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to the dumbfounded four men and walked straight towards the living room with the help of the butler.
What’s the situation now?
Not only did Grandpa Jun not get angry, but he ordered the kitchen to make something delicious?
Even, he just said, a family dinner!
The implication was that he already considered Mia as family? Thinking of that, Asher’s face finally broke into a make believe smile, he was worried just now about how he would cope if Grandpa Jun was still as stubborn as before. Now it seemed that all the worries were superfluous.
Perhaps, after all this, Grandpa Jun has finally accepted Mia too?
During the meal, Grandpa Jun talked a lot, although he said he still had a serious face, and it was clear that he seemed to be in a very good mood.
“Grandpa, Mia This time …” Near the end of the meal, Asher hesitated and finally spoke slowly.
Although, with Mia staying at the villa, he didn’t even have to discuss it with Grandpa Jun, the only thing he wanted to do right now was to test Grandpa Jun’s waters, to see how he treated Mia.
Grandpa Jun didn’t wait for him to finish, his face grim as he nodded, “She’s definitely staying at the villa, this little matter, do you still need to discuss it with me? You kid, you’re simply getting more and more regressive, do you need Grandpa to teach you everything?”
“Thank you Grandpa!” The thank you came from Asher’s heart.
Hearing Asher’s thanks, the corners of Grandpa Jun’s mouth curled up slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but held back stiffly halfway through, and with the help of his butler, Grandpa Jun stood up and left without looking at the others present, trembling.
This thank you seemed to take away all the animosity between the two grandparents and grandchildren for so many years in an instant.
After seeing Grandpa Jun leave, several other people present looked at each other and had a knowing smile on their faces. Lily, in particular, immediately patted Mia’s hand and said affectionately, “Mia , look, with this attitude of Grandpa, it’s even a promise to you guys.”
“Aunty, what are you talking about, what about us, I, I’m not marrying him!” Mia hung her head, her stunning face covered in red, not even daring to look up at Asher across the room, “Aunty, I, I’m full, I’ll go back, to my room!”
“Look, you child, you’re still shy, fine, fine, you go back first.” Mia’s shy look made Lily’s face even more filled with a doting smile, her voice overflowing with doting, “You go back first, Asher will be back later. It’s been so long, you guys haven’t had a proper get-together.”
With the three of them watching, Mia was so ashamed that she almost had to find a crack in the ground and didn’t even hear what Lily was saying behind her, just stood up quickly and fled inside the room as if she was running away, flinging herself onto the bed at once and pulling the covers over her head, half embarrassed to raise her head.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Mia , don’t you tell me that in the future at the villa, you are planning to meet everyone else in this state?” Somehow, a voice full of laughter rang out in the room with a faint touch of doting and tenderness, and without looking, I knew it was Asher who had returned to the room.
Snapping the covers off her body, Mia looked at the man behind her with a blush on her face and punched Asher’s chest with her small, shy hands, pouting unforgivingly, “Asher, you, you all bully me, you all bully me …”
Before she could finish her words, her whole body fell into a warm and generous embrace, and a low and magnetic voice sounded in her ears, “Mia, you, finally, are back by my side. From now on, I will never let you leave me again, never let you go again! You, can only be mine Asher, can only be mine alone!”
“Who’s all yours, if you bully me again, I’ll still go, see if I dare!” The little woman, cradled in her arms, relentlessly pounded Asher’s chest with her small fists, her tone pouting, “Asher, you’re a bad man!”
“Good, then I’ll show you what makes a badass!” Somehow, Asher’s handsome face had taken on a wicked, ambiguous smile, “Little woman, do you know how much I missed you? Do you know how I’ve come through these five years since you disappeared?”
It was a moment that hit Mia’s heart, hard.
In the next second, her lips, if soft, were seized by a warm one.
That one kiss was like a starburst that quickly turned into a prairie fire.
