The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife - Chapter 127
Chapter 127
“Xiuhe, why are you so efficient?” Shen Yin spoke with a slightly spoiled tone.
Xu Xiuhe rarely heard Shen Yin use such a tone, feeling a bit smug. What man wouldn’t be happy when the woman he loves acts spoiled with him?
“Next time you have something to do, tell me, and I’ll definitely be faster than you.”
“Okay.”
“You’re really not going to the company today?”
“It’s Sunday today.”
Shen Yin…
She knew it was Sunday, but wasn’t he the company president? He used to work on Sundays too, but now he’s becoming more and more indolent.
“Do you have anything planned for the afternoon?”
“Why?”
“Today is my mother’s anniversary of passing. I want to go see her, and let her see you too.”
“I’m free.”
At the cemetery, Shen Yin stood beside Xu Xiuhe, who was holding Zhengzheng in his arms.
“Grandma,” Zhengzheng called out.
Xu Xiuhe had brought him here last year too, but back then he couldn’t speak yet. Unexpectedly, this year, without any teaching, he called out on his own.
“Mom, I’ve come to see you. This time, your daughter-in-law has come too,” Xu Xiuhe said.
Shen Yin looked at the photo on the tombstone, where the woman was smiling happily, with features resembling Xu Xiuhe’s.
“Mom, I’ve come to see you.”
Shen Yin had been without a mother since she was young, until she met Fang Yue and experienced a mother’s love, realizing the warmth of that word.
Now, she was a mother too. Looking at the photo, she couldn’t help but be entranced.
“Mom, you raised Xiuhe well. He’s been good to me and to Zhengzheng, and even to the employees at the company. Thank you, Mom.”
Xu Xiuhe probably didn’t expect Shen Yin to say such words, and he turned to look at her.
“Grandma, Dad is great, Zhengzheng is great too, and Mom is even better. Grandma must have been really great.”
Hearing this, Shen Yin smiled slightly.
“Mommy, where is Grandma? Why has Zhengzheng never seen her?” Zhengzheng asked curiously, looking at the tombstone.
“Grandma is in heaven. She came to this world for a while to complete her mission, and now she has returned to heaven.”
“Is heaven a good place?”CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
“Yes, heaven is a good place.”
“Then Zhengzheng wants to go to heaven too!” Zhengzheng clapped his hands excitedly.
“Ahem, we shouldn’t be saying that. Zhengzheng, people only leave this world when they grow old and pass away,” Shen Yin corrected him.
“Dear, children speak without restraint. Don’t listen to your grandson’s nonsense,” Xu Xiuhe said, looking at the photo.
“Oh, I understand. Good people go to heaven, but where do the bad people go?” Children always have so many strange questions.
“Bad people go to hell, where there are all kinds of punishments to make them understand that even after death, if they did wrong, they won’t be at peace.”
She didn’t know if hell really existed, but she knew that there would be cause and effect, that bad deeds would be repaid. After all, she had even experienced the strange phenomenon of transmigration, so she believed that evildoers would face retribution.
“Then will the bad people from yesterday go to hell? They bullied the girl, so they’re bad people. Zhengzheng wants them to go to hell soon.”
“They will go to hell, it’s just not their time yet. But Zhengzheng, we must know that people can’t do bad things.”
“Mom, you must be doing well over there. Please bless Zhengzheng, Yin Yin, and I, to be safe, happy, and healthy. We’ll come see you often. For now, we’ll leave first.”
“Goodbye, Grandma.”
“Mom, goodbye. I’ll definitely take good care of Zhengzheng and Xiuhe.”
On the way back, Xu Xiuhe joked, “Wife, you promised Mom you’d treat me well, so you can’t go back on your word.”
Shen Yin responded lightly, “Sure, I won’t go back on my word. Can you tell me about your mother? I don’t know anything about your past.”
“My mother had a good temperament, gentle and gracious. Initially, she and my father made vows of eternal love, and she brought quite a dowry when marrying him. But after just a few years, my father had an affair. I always knew, but I didn’t know if she knew. Until one day, she told me that if she wasn’t around anymore, I must protect myself and not confront that man. Shortly after she passed away from illness, my father remarried someone else – Yang Cui.”
“So your childhood must have been very miserable.”
“It was alright, but you had it worse than me. We’re a match made in heaven. I was a bit luckier, at least that woman didn’t force me to marry an old man.”
“…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll never treat you the way that man treated you. I’ve said it before, the spouse spot in my life can only be you, and yours can only be me, unless I die. Understand?”
Xu Xiuhe turned to look at Shen Yin in the passenger seat as he spoke.
When she heard the word “die,” Shen Yin suddenly covered Xu Xiuhe’s mouth with her hand. “Don’t say unlucky things. Say blessings instead, like we’ll both live long lives.”
“Okay, we’ll definitely live long lives and grow old together.”
“Zhengzheng will live a long life too and grow old with us!” The baby in the back suddenly piped up.
“You’re awake, Zhengzheng?” Shen Yin asked.
“Mommy, I’m thirsty.”
Shen Yin looked at Xu Xiuhe, signaling him to stop the car so she could go to the back seat.
Shen Yin sat in the back, took out a water bottle from her bag, and held it to Xu Zhengzheng’s mouth.
The little one gulped down a few mouthfuls.
Then Shen Yin’s phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Are you the sister who rescued me yesterday?”
Shen Yin immediately recognized the voice of the girl who had been in trouble yesterday.
“Yes, what is it?”
“I want to come learn some martial arts from you.”
“Sure, when are you free?”
“I’m free on weekends.”
“Then come to Qinghe Street on the weekend. There’s a Yunyin Clothing Workshop here, I’ll be there.”
“Okay, thank you, sister.”
The phone was on speaker, so Xu Xiuhe clearly heard their conversation.
“Will you be able to handle it?” Xu Xiuhe asked.
“Yes, do you see me busy every day? Actually, I don’t have much work on my hands right now. Teaching them some self-defense would be good. If I can help one person, that’s one person helped.”
Xu Xiuhe didn’t say more. Indeed, if you can help one person, that’s one person helped. No one knows what might happen tomorrow, or if misfortune could befall them in the next second.
In the evening, Shen Yin continued embroidering the unfinished tiger head, and Xu Xiuhe was worried that Shen Yin would get tired, so he would occasionally bring her a cup of tea or a piece of fruit.
“Xiuhe, do you feel like I’m working slowly?” Shen Yin asked with a smile.
“Not at all, it hasn’t been that long, and you’ve already embroidered so much.”
Shen Yin wanted to say that Xu Xiuhe was being too attentive and it was distracting her, but the man didn’t seem to notice, and he didn’t even pick up on the implied meaning in her words.
“How’s the online situation going?”
“It’s still brewing.”
“That’s good.”
“Indeed, I did buy a hot search trend.”
“Oh?”
Shen Yin suddenly remembered that her clothing workshop had been trending for a while, and now it seemed that it was because of the man in front of her buying the trend.
Shen Yin suddenly wanted to tease Xu Xiuhe a little, so she asked, “How many times have you bought it?”
