For several days, the Dongshan Residence has been bustling with activity. Following the command of the Old Master, Takeuchi Yasuko has officially become the Future Lady of the Dongshan Family. As a result, various parties have been continuously arriving to prepare for the wedding, making the Dongshan Residence more lively than it has been in a long time.
However, the constant stream of visitors has provided Xinran with some peace. She can take care of Mu Shaosi in detail, helping him recover quickly. Watching his fever subside and his wounds gradually heal brings her a sense of comfort that surpasses everything else. Even enduring grievances here seems trivial now, and it doesn't matter if she sees Takeuchi Yasuko provoking her in the role of the lady of the house every day.
"Miss Aiko, would it look better if we made the hem of the wedding dress a bit larger?"
"Takeuchi Miss, I still wouldn't recommend enlarging the hem. If you think it looks small, I can try designing it with a wider cut below the waist; it will achieve a similar effect!"
Xinran stepped out of the room and happened to see Takeuchi Yasuko discussing the style of the wedding dress with the designer. She walked past without paying attention, trying to ignore them. She was restraining her bad thoughts because Takeuchi Yasuko's lack of restraint was bringing forth her long-hidden mischievous tendencies. She had once used those tricks against Xia Wenyiyi's sisters, but now she didn't want to act out simply because she didn't want to cause trouble. After all, this was Mu Shaosi's grandfather's residence, and she had enough upbringing not to behave like some people.
"Miss Xiran, I've been discussing with Miss Aiko for a long time without reaching an agreement. Why don't you give me some advice? I believe your taste must be good since your profession requires you to be in the spotlight!"
"Sorry, Takeuchi Miss, I don't have much knowledge about wedding dresses and can't be of help," Xinran replied calmly without any change in her expression.
"Miss Xiran, are you resentful that I took the position you wanted? I know you are with Zhong Si Jun; your greed is merely for the position of Future Lady of the Dongshan Family. Who wouldn't want to possess a treasure mountain that they could never exhaust? But unfortunately, after that night of tenderness with Zhong Si Jun, perhaps I am already carrying his baby! The position of Future Lady of the Dongshan Family is something you might never hope for in this lifetime..."
Hearing Takeuchi Yasuko's overly brazen words, Xinran smiled lightly without anger. How long had she been with Mu Shaosi? If one night of intimacy warranted such grand proclamations, then how should she boast about how deeply Mu Shaosi entangled her in bed? He would never let her off until he exhausted her completely!
Such private matters being spoken so shamelessly—should she call Takeuchi Yasuko foolish or brainless? When they first met, she thought she would be a clever woman, having grown up in a large family in Japan where one needed some skills to thrive. Yet when someone believes they have obtained their heart's desire, all defenses relax and vigilance fades away. Isn't that an extreme display of foolishness?
"Takeuchi Miss, since you think that way, there's no need for me to explain..." Just as Xinran was about to leave, she smiled and nodded at two people standing at the door.
Duan Ruyin and Shinohara Ryo, who had just walked to the entrance, happened to overhear Takeuchi Yasuko's remarks and couldn't help but stop to watch. Duan Ruyin turned to exchange a knowing glance with Shinohara Ryo. They hadn't been to the old residence for a few days and didn't expect to miss so much drama. However, since Old Master had ordered them not to step foot in the old residence, they had no choice but to obey. Old Master knew that Duan Ruyin would choose to help Summer, which would affect his enjoyment of the game. It was indeed difficult for him as a subordinate; on one hand, he had to listen to Young Master Si, while on the other hand, he couldn't defy Old Master's orders.
"Yasuko said to ask you to help pick out a wedding dress. Just do it! Didn't I tell you to take good care of Yasuko? Are you resisting me? Don't forget, I am her grandfather!" Takahashi Ryu appeared at the right moment and shouted at Xinran.
"Grandpa, that's enough!" Suddenly, a cold voice devoid of warmth rang out. The next second, Xinran felt an arm tightly wrap around her waist, and the familiar scent instantly filled her nostrils.
"You..." Xinran turned her head and was somewhat surprised to see Mu Shaosi. Although his complexion had regained some color, he was still injured. "You got out of bed again; be careful with your wound!"
Mu Shaosi's lips curled into a faint smile before he embraced Xinran and walked up to her grandfather. He glanced at Takeuchi Yasuko and maintained a cold tone as he said, "This woman is my legitimate wife; I will not acknowledge any other woman! Takeuchi Yasuko, if you still want to save face, leave the Dongshan Family immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and making it impossible for you to stand in the Takeuchi Family in the future!"
His voice was steady and devoid of anger, yet it carried a kingly authority that made it almost impossible for anyone to meet his gaze.
"Zhong, Zhong Si Jun, but I..." Takeuchi Yasuko's tears fell uncontrollably. She knew that tears would have no effect on the man before her, but his coldness made her tremble and unable to hold back her tears.
"Get lost!" Mu Shaosi said succinctly with a single word. In recent days, his injuries had already caused Xinran too much distress; if he allowed others to trample on her further, how could he call himself her man?
"Miss Takeuchi, you should leave quickly; Young Master Si is not someone you can easily provoke!" Shinohara Ryo elegantly approached Takeuchi Yasuko with crossed arms and said with a charming smile.
Takeuchi Yasuko dared not say anything more. She hurriedly adjusted her inconvenient kimono and bypassed Shinohara Ryo, quickly running away from Dongshan Residence. For a moment, the living room fell silent.
"Grandpa, it's been long enough; are you done playing?" Breaking the silence, Mu Shaosi spoke while holding Xinran's delicate hand behind him and gently squeezing it.
"You brat! You've scared everyone away; how am I supposed to have fun now?" Takahashi Ryu glared fiercely at Mu Shaosi.
"If I don't hurry up and drive her away, are you planning to use sleeping drugs to knock me out again and directly make me marry her?"
"Well, I hadn't thought of that. I was just waiting for this girl to resist me, but..." Takahashi Ryu sighed sadly in his heart as he never got the chance.
The unusual behavior of Old Master left Xinran somewhat bewildered. She quietly observed Old Master, wondering what kind of act he was putting on. How could someone who had always disliked her suddenly show a mischievous smile like an old rascal? Could it be that all this time had been a disguise?
"What on earth is going on?" Xinran asked in a daze, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Wife, I'll explain this to you later. Right now, the wedding dress designer is here, so why don't you discuss the style of the wedding dress? Once I'm healed, I plan to hold another formal wedding for you here. Grandfather, do you have any objections?"
"You little rascal, what objections could I possibly have?" Takahashi Ryu's white beard trembled as Shinohara Ryo chuckled and supported his arm, saying, "Godfather couldn't be happier. He can't wait for you and Xinran to get married quickly and start having children so he can have a 'grandchild' to play with!"
"Did you hear that, wife?" Mu Shaosi raised an eyebrow, staring at Xinran.
"I heard it, but I think... it's unnecessary!"
