Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 225 The Baby Shower
it was already past noon when han meixiu woke up.
like the past days, her strength was robbed off again after throwing up. she could only lie down the entire morning in most cases and would eventually fall back to sleep.
currently, they were in the seaside resort where their marriage was decided.
looking around and found no one, han meixiu slowly walked towards the bathroom to freshen herself up. she knew that liu zijian would come in a short while.
she felt better today compared three days ago when they first arrived here.
last night was the year end party of lcg and she showed herself for a very short while as she wasn’t really feeling that well.
after she went out of the bathroom, she saw her husband. his worries was evident on his face.
han meixiu smiled, showing that she’s fine. even though there still a bit dizziness, she could manage.
as much as possible she didn’t want to make him more wrried than he already was.
“would you like to eat something?” liu zijian asked.
“a little.” han meixiu knew she needed to eat. even though she’s worried that she might threw the food up again, she should fill her stomach.
after nodding, liu zijian made a short call and looked at his wife again. if only he could carry at least half of her sufferings, he already did.
unfortunately, he couldn’t. he could only support her from time to time.
“later, you don’t need to stay long. after greeting the guests you can take a rest.”
“i want to stay till the end.” she gently said. “mommy yi specially prepared this celebration.”
besides, she was also informed that there were some important people she would meet today.
“they will understand.”
han meixiu didn’t respond. the man in front of her would not yield with argument especially if it would be about her situation. thus, she could only smile.

han mingxia was still holding a stack of papers on her hand as she read the content several times.
the mission today was simple and short. she only needed to accompany a grandmother to attend an event. she would pose as the old fashioned granddaughter.
although the mission was considered easy, the information she should memorize was giving her headache.
han mingxia only hoped that nobody would talk to her to avoid any type of error. even though she knew all the basic details about this old fashioned daughter, if she would encounter someone familiar with the granny she would accompany, then there would be a possibility of a mistake.
han mingxia sighed as she took the clothes she would wear before proceeding to the bathroom.
after about two hours, han mingxia who was now known as fu meng lian, was waiting for grandmother fu in the living room.
the old mansion was traditionally designed and there was a burning incense nearby.
the interior was actually screaming that an old lady was indeed the resident of the place.
after quarter of an hour, an old lady finally emerged.
her ‘grandmother’ looked strict and like what was written on the mission document, the old woman couldn’t walk thus she was sitting on a wheelchair.
“grandma…” han mingxia softly called.
“you’ve come lian’er.” the old woman responded and gave her a warm and gentle smile.
for some reason, han mingxia felt uncomfortable. it was as if those eyes could penetrate her very own soul. but then again, she needed to do this mission, thus she could only sink in to her role as an old fashioned and ’emotionless’ grandchild. the latter description was actually a bit hard for her as it was opposite her usual character.
“shall we go?”
after seeing the old woman nod, she quickly pushed the wheelchair out of the old mansion.
“you’ve changed.” the old woman commented.

han mingxia froze. she knew that it was meant that she didn’t follow the description given to her. the way she called the old woman earlier already a mistake. she should only bowed as a greeting.
“people change, grandma.” she quickly answered adjusting her voice.
han mingxia didn’t see how the old woman smirked upon hearing her response.
of course, this ‘mission’ was another training with benefits for han mingxia but she’s not aware of it.

the baby shower party would be attended by selected people. though it wasn’t as intimate as liu zijian and han meixiu’s wedding, it was still considered considerably private.
madam liu who was the responsible organizer was all smile, showing her bottomless energy and excitement.
the only media invited was a high end magazine that targeted affluent readers was the first to arrive. it was indeed a great honor to be allowed to publish the baby shower of the controversial but low key liu younger couple.
although the gender of the twins was yet to be determined, the fact that liu zijian and han meixiu would be having a twin was already a big issue for the entire liu family.
as guests continued to come, liu zijian and han meixiu were still waiting inside a room near the event hall.
“who are the people coming?” han meixiu asked. she’s sitting on a comfortable couch and leaning on her husband.
“some business partners and old friends of the family. mom’s only family, my grandfather will also attend to celebrate with us.”
han meixiu already heard about her mommy yi’s family when she asked if there’s a member of liu family that delivered a twin in the past.
their twin is considered paternal which means it is hereditary. thus han meixiu asked the question as she knew that both zhang and han families didn’t have twins.
“is he strict?” she asked. she had two grandfather with opposite personality. grandfather zhang was pampering but grandfather han was cold to her, except the time she visited him in the hospital.
“you don’t need to worry. he’s not unreasonable.” liu zijian answered. although he only met this grandfather few times, his assessment about him wasn’t bad.
“i see.” han meixiu uttered. “is my mom coming?”
“yes.” liu zijian simply answered. he recalled a short call from an unknown number few days ago demanding an invitation from him.
it saved him the trouble to find and give her the invitation. he expected that his mother in law would not show up in her usual identity. for sure, she would borrow someone’s persona. as for who it would be, he’s looking forward to it.
it would also be considered as his ‘surprise’ to his wife.
but han meixiu’s thought was in line with her husband. she knew her mother would be another person when attending this event.
there was actually a small part of her thinking how nice would it be if she could also disguise once in a while. but given her situation at the moment, it would be a bit impossible. maybe after she giving birth, she could ask liu zijian to allow her to do it.
after a while, ye ming came in telling the couple that it’s time to start the event.
