I insist

Chapter 281: Uncontrollable Emotions

Song Miqiu pushed open the door to her room and saw Qiu Tianlei eating snacks. Upon seeing Song Miqiu, Qiu Tianlei immediately stood up.

"Mother, why are you back?"

Song Miqiu said in an annoyed tone

"Why can't I come back!"

No, nothing.

Qiu Tianlei immediately took the bundle from Song Miqiu's hands.

"How are Xiaobai and Xiaoshuang doing? Are they being good at home? Be nice to Tian Yumei, she's pregnant now, so take good care of her."

Song Miqiu came in to give instructions to Qiu Tianlei.

Qiu Tianlei bowed and nodded repeatedly.

Song Miqiu looked around but didn't see Yu Huailin. She thought he might have gone out on something and felt a little disappointed, but she quickly calmed down.

Tian Yumei may have heard Song Miqiu's voice, and she respectfully offered Song Miqiu a cup of tea.

Song Miqiu took a sip and said softly, "Yumei, take good care of yourself. You're about to give birth, so be careful. If you need anything, tell Qiu Tianlei so he's not idle."

As Song Miqiu spoke, she glared at Qiu Tianlei, who was standing next to her.

Hearing her mother-in-law's instructions, Tian Yumei felt a warm current in her heart and touched her slightly protruding belly, saying, "I understand, daughter-in-law."

"Yu Mei, I want to sleep for a while. Wake me up later. Don't disturb me unless it's something else. I'm too tired in the palace. I want to rest."

Song Miqiu yawned, feeling sleepy.

Tian Yumei took the teacup from Song Miqiu, nodded, and said, "Okay, Mother, you should rest well."

Pushing open the door to her room, Song Miqiu looked at her sallow reflection in the mirror and realized she had aged considerably. Her face was also dry, indicating she had lost a lot of collagen. Sleep is the best beauty treatment, so Song Miqiu immediately lay down on her small bed and fell asleep.

When Yu Huailin heard Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei say that Song Miqiu had returned, he was so excited that he couldn't speak and wanted to see Song Miqiu immediately.

“Mother-in-law, please tell us not to disturb her. She has lost a lot of weight in the palace.”

Tian Yumei spoke with a pained expression.

When Yu Huailin heard that Song Miqiu had lost weight, his heart ached.

She tiptoed and pushed open the door.

Seeing Song Miqiu's haggard face, Yu Huailin thought of the face mask that Song Miqiu had mentioned to him before, saying that it was a powerful and good thing.

Yu Huailin looked around the room, found a face mask, and gently applied it to Song Miqiu's face.

He moved very gently, afraid of waking Song Miqiu.

Looking at the person on the bed, Yu Huailin's lips curled up slightly. Looking at Song Miqiu's peaceful sleeping face, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Yu Huailin intended to remove the face mask when the time was almost right, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep herself.

One of them was lying down, and the other was lying face down.

Dawn broke.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door outside.

Both of them suddenly became fully awake.

Song Miqiu glanced to the side and noticed that there was another person, Yu Huailin.

There wasn't any before I went to sleep. Song Miqiu's face turned bright red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Yu Huailin noticed Song Miqiu's mood and laughed, "I just wanted to come and see you, but I ended up falling asleep right away."

Song Miqiu touched her face and realized that the face mask had long since dried out.

She immediately understood.

Although the two are currently living together, to outsiders it is an old woman and a vigorous young man, but they both know the truth.

"If others saw this, they would definitely say something."

Song Miqiu still didn't want people to gossip.

Seeing how serious Song Miqiu was, Yu Huailin understood what she meant and nodded, saying, "It seems that a proper marriage is still the only way."

Song Miqiu blushed with embarrassment, but fortunately, the human skin mask concealed it.

"Knock knock".

The knocking came again.

Song Miqiu almost forgot that there was someone standing outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Mom, it's time to eat."

Tian Yumei called out.

Getting out of bed, Song Miqiu put on her shoes and said, "I'll go first, you can go out later."

Yu Huailin knew that Song Miqiu was worried about being seen in the same room, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Song Miqiu pushed open the door and went out, leaving Yu Huailin alone in the room. Later, when no one was outside, Yu Huailin came out.

After having breakfast, Song Miqiu, who rarely gets a day off at home, thought that Tian Yumei was about to give birth, and as a mother-in-law, she should prepare some gifts for her daughter-in-law and grandson.

Song Miqiu planned to invite Yu Huailin to go out for a stroll and buy some things, as it had been a long time since the two of them had gone out together.

When I went to find Yu Huailin, he was in the distance, his eyes fixed on the book, his features resolute, his nose high and straight, wearing a dark green dress, with a simple hairpin in his hair. He was a beautiful sight.

Song Miqiu was completely mesmerized; it must be said, this man was truly incredibly handsome!

After regaining his senses, Song Miqiu remembered why he had come here.

"Let's go pick something out for Yumei's baby. You can come with me!"

Song Miqiu withdrew her infatuated expression and looked at Yu Huailin, who was pretending to be calm.

Yu Huailin put down his book and noticed from afar that Song Miqiu was staring at him. Hearing what she said, he smiled faintly.

"it is good."

Yu Huailin readily agreed.

The morning market was bustling with activity, unlike the palace, where the palace servants adhered to the rules and regulations, and the place felt deserted and lacked the vibrancy of everyday life.

Song Miqiu wanted to buy everything she saw and keep it at home. Her steps unconsciously stopped at a rather unique little shop.

It was filled with all sorts of bracelets, hairpins, and jade pendants.

Song Miqiu picked one out for Yu Huailin and held it up to Yu Huailin's head.

"This stuff is no good."

"Just looking."

Song Miqiu said, "Put it back."

Seeing this, the stall owner said warmly, "It's rare to see an elder like you. If you want to buy something good for your grandson, I have some good ones here."

As he spoke, he took out a jade object.

Clearly, one was mistaken for an old woman and the other for a grandson. This wasn't the first or second time they'd been treated this way, simply because they were wearing human skin masks.

Song Miqiu felt somewhat helpless. He should have removed the human skin mask from his face when he came out earlier.

"Then I'll take it."

With a wave of his hand, Song Miqiu took out a silver ingot.

"As a return gift, I'll give you this."

Yu Huailin saw a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants, took them off, and handed them to Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu asked somewhat shyly, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"Suitable."

Yu Huailin paid the money and then put it on Song Miqiu's waist.

The handsome young man's doting expression and tone made the boss think he was seeing things.

Such a handsome young man isn't a grandson, yet he's paired with this old woman!

The boss was a businessman who traveled all over the country and still needed to make a living. He noticed the two men in front of him, who were dressed in a way that suggested they were either rich or powerful.
