C14 The Man Who Married Her Fifth
Putting everything else aside, the kiddo was surprisingly hefty.
"Fourth, it's time for you to slim down!"
"Huh?" The kiddo snapped back to reality, looking bewildered. "Mom, what's slimming down?"
"Losing weight is..."
"Don't mind your mom's silly talk!" Zhang Zhe burst through the door, scooped up Fourth, and shot Ye Jianjia a stern look. "It's getting late. You need to get your things together and head out."
In truth, the six kiddos were just a tad plump, and with the baby fat that clung to a four-year-old's frame, they appeared extra cuddly and squishy.
"Mom, where are you going?" Third, Ye Yichen, sidled up, tilting his head back to gaze at Ye Jianjia.
"I'll fill you in later, sweetie."
She was going to have to give the kiddos a proper explanation before moving to Mu Tingsu's place.
It took Ye Jianjia a good half hour to clarify things to the kiddos and earn their forgiveness.
"Don't worry. Mom will do her best to come home and see you every day. And in a few days, when Mr. Ye returns, he'll move us to a big villa with a garden and a swimming pool. How does that sound?"
The kiddos nodded enthusiastically. "We love it!"
Later that evening, around eight, Ye Jianjia gathered her belongings and hailed a taxi to Mu Tingsu's estate.
Ouyang Zhi escorted her to the grandest villa on the property, a place brimming with permanent residences, and her room was situated on the third floor.
"You really didn't need to bring so much with you. We've already tailored and purchased everything you might need."
"Ah?" Ye Jianjia was puzzled until she stepped into her room.
The room was opulent and spacious, with an expansive walk-in closet and a vanity laden with high-end skincare products.
"Is all this for me?" Ye Jianjia's eyes grew wide.
Ouyang Zhi nodded affirmatively. "Yes."
Ye Jianjia: "..."
The world of the wealthy is beyond the wildest dreams of us common folks!
"But how did you know my... sizes?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhi let out a chuckle, but to Ye Jianjia, it seemed rather ominous. "We can access all the details about you whenever we need to."
With that revelation, Ye Jianjia got the picture. This wasn't about surprising her; it was about showing her who's boss.
"Rest assured, I guarantee I'll be an exemplary wife."
For her, these clothes, shoes, skincare products, and such were a real money-saver. Those high-end dresses, in particular, could come in handy at any moment.
"Make yourself at home, Young Madam. Feel free to do as you wish."
"What if I get hungry in the middle of the night?" Ye Jianjia inquired, slightly embarrassed, "Is there anything to eat?"
"The kitchen on the first floor is at your service until midnight. After that, Young Madam, you're welcome to cook whatever you like," Ouyang Zhi said with a respectful nod before departing.
Ye Jianjia, having finished her bath, felt a pang of hunger in the middle of the night and went downstairs to find something to eat.
The first floor indeed boasted a kitchen, one that was extravagantly luxurious and fully stocked. Yet, Ye Jianjia opted to make just a simple bowl of noodles.
Full and content, she grew sleepier. Yawning, she trudged back to her room, eyes drooping.
"This bed is so plush..." She collapsed onto the bed, finding it incredibly soft and bouncy. She gave a contented sigh, murmuring, "This is bliss!"
"It seems you're quite pleased with my bed," a man's voice suddenly broke the silence.
"...Who's there?!" Startled, Ye Jianjia bolted upright!
