After a good night’s sleep, Xia Wei’an woke up as the alarm clock rang at 5 a.m. She turned over to see that the spot on the bed beside her had long become empty, but it was still warm. In other words, Di Xingchen had just woken up too.
“Tsk, he’s so outstanding and hardworking. He’s worthy of being my man.”
Xia Wei’an touched the residual warmth on the bed and muttered to herself with a look of satisfaction. She then stood up abruptly. She had to make herself more outstanding, so as to become worthy of Di Xingchen and stand at the same height as him, looking down at the world below their feet.
After freshening up simply, she put on a wig and applied some heavy makeup. She then went to the study to memorize her books.
Morning was the best time to be productive, and she felt that she ought to spend her day studying instead of sleeping. In the past, she had wasted too much time, and now, she would never let sleep delay her progress anymore.
She studied until seven and then packed up and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast before heading to school.
In the living room, Di Xingchen had already gotten dressed and was now sitting on the sofa and flipping through financial magazines. Xia Wei’an walked down the stairs one step at a time. When she saw the maids being busy in the kitchen, she raised her hand and greeted, “Hi, good morning everyone!”
The maid Meng was carrying a bowl out, but when she suddenly saw Xia Wei’an, she shuddered in fear and dropped the bowl in her hand.
“Oh dear!” Meng closed her eyes, frightened and too scared to speak.
The rules in Di Xingchen’s residence were strict, and breaking a bowl was considered an inauspicious thing. Anyone who committed that act could be punished or even get kicked out of the house.
Xia Wei’an quickly reached out and grabbed the bowl, patted Meng’s shoulder, and said proudly, “See, I’ve got quick reflexes, don’t I?”
Meng took the bowl and bowed three times to Xia Wei’an, as if she had just survived an ordeal. “Thank you, Young Mistress, thank you!”
She then went forward and set the bowl on the table while Xia Wei’an felt bewildered.
‘I just caught the bowl, must Meng be so agitated?’
At this moment, Di Xingchen had already put away the magazines and came over to sit by the table. He reminded, “Wei’an, if you still don’t start eating your breakfast, you’ll be late for school later.”
“Yes, yes, I want to be a good student, I can’t be late!”
Xia Wei’an hurriedly sat down next to Di Xingchen and was just about to reach out and grab the bun to gobble it up. However, she thought about the fact that Di Xingchen was right beside her, and thus, her hand stiffened, and she grabbed a spoon instead. She scooped herself a bowl of bird’s nest porridge and started drinking it slowly.
The maids were all cowering in the kitchen, not daring to go out for fear that they would accidentally provoke Xia Wei’an and get punished by her. Everyone in the house was afraid of her, and although they were wondering why she was there even though it wasn’t Saturday, no one dared to ask about it. All they hoped for was that she would leave quickly, but to their surprise, they heard her say to Di Xingchen, “I moved all my things over yesterday. From today onwards, I’m going to live in here with you!”
‘She’s moving in!’
The maids were in despair.
Clueless of how anguished her words made them feel, Xia Wei’an said to Di Xingchen smilingly, “Do you welcome me?”
Di Xingchen nodded with a smile on his lips. That was something he had been wishing for.
In order to behave like a demure lady in front of Di Xingchen, Xia Wei’an went to school without having had her fill at breakfast. During the self-study period in the morning, she recited English words aloud to mask the growling of her stomach. She didn’t care about the fact that Lu Zhanyu who was beside her, hadn’t arrived yet!
