that's the same thought running through Yichan. By the number of calls he ignored from his mum, he is sure that they know about the marriage. He just needed to make sure they don't overwhelm Yumi by coming here.
So he decided he will go the Zhang mansion and explain everything. It's been a long day for him, good day but still long.
Snubbing the cigarette in the ash tray, he went to his bedroom and slightly opened the door to check on Yumi and bring his pyjamas. When he saw her sleeping peacefully, he silently went to the closet and retrieved his clothes and walked out closing the door.
walking to the guest bedroom closer to his room, he went to take a shower and slept peacefully after a very long time with a smile on his face thinking about his wife sleeping few rooms down to him.
Next morning 9 am:
groggily waking up, Chen Yumi slowly opened her eyes. the sudden light made her wince. closing her eyes again, she slowly opened them and adjusted herself to the light.
looking around, she sat up straight realising the unfamiliar surroundings only to wince from her hangover.
Carefully looking around the room, she was about to get down and see where she was when she noticed a small pile of clothes neatly placed with a sticky note on the footboard bench.
" these are for you since you didn't bring any yesterday - Yichan" - the notes read.
Blinking for a second, all the things that happened yesterday came rushing to her.
taking a deep breath, she walked to the bathroom only to realise there are feminine shampoo and cleansers, an extra toothbrush and towels.
"Could they be brother Yichan girlfriend's? - Yumi thought to herself but when she tried to use them they were all brand new and sealed.
Looking at herself in the mirror, her mascara all smudged, and her skin still with makeup from yesterday and her hair messy, she sighed. She definitely shouldn't have listened to Li Jing and drink so much. She didn't remember the entire thing. It was all bits and pieces but she can vaguely remember somebody carrying her and whispering something.
The more she thought, the more her head hurt. Shaking her head out of thoughts, she freshened up and walked out after 30 minutes.
When Yumi came downstairs, Yichan was nowhere to be found. Looking around she spotted someone moving around in the kitchen.
Her head was splitting. Thinking of asking the staff where yichan was, she went into the kitchen.
As soon as Butler Chang saw Yumi, he straightened up and bowed, "Young madam" followed by the 3 staff in kitchen
not expecting such a greeting, Yumi choked and looked at them in horror. with her ears and cheeks heat up, she spoke softly.
"Butler Chang, where is brother Yichan?" - she asked.
"Young master went to the old mansion early in the morning. he should be here anytime soon. Young madam, your hangover soup is ready. please go sit on the table and I will serve it to you right away" - Butler Chang said.
Not used to somebody serving her, Yumi shook her hands and said, "No need no need, I can just drink some hangover medicine from the pharmacy. I just wanted to let brother yichan know that I am going out" - she quickly added.
"Young madam, Young master clearly instructed us to give you the soup as soon as you wake up. please let me serve it to you. or else we will all be in trouble".
Looking at Butler Chang who isn't taking no for an answer, Yumi nodded her head and silently went to the table.
Soon Butler Chang came with the soup and handed it to her. As she was about to have the soup, The front door opened and Yichan came strolling.
today instead of his suit, he is in a black jogger pants and white t-shirt stretching across his chest which is completely different from his usual three piece suit attire. He looked very good in this casual attire.
Chen Yumi who saw him first got up and went to him. Looking at yumi who was rushing to him, he smiled a second and soon the smile disappeared. Before she could open her mouth, he asked, "Why is your hair wet? won't you catch cold like this?"
Yumi was puzzled, she lightly touched her hair and said meekly, "I am used to it drying naturally. I won't catch cold that easily brother Yichan. and with my head splitting into two, I don't think I want all the noise"
Sighing, he patted her head and led her back to the table"Have the soup, it will help you with the headache."
"But brother Yichan--"
"Have the soup first, we can talk later"- Yichan said.
He smiled at her gently when she huffed and starting drinking the soup.
Once the soup is finished, butler chang placed a plate of pancakes in front of them. Signalling her to eat, Yichan also started having his breakfast.
Throughout the breakfast, Yumi kept stealing glances at Yichan who noticed it but kept eating quietly.
Once their breakfast is finished, he pushed the plates aside and looked at her.
"How are you feeling now?"- he asked.
"Much better now that I had the delicious pancakes. these taste the same like the ones we had at the restaurant last month." - she said.
"I asked the staff to get it from there since you liked to eat them. " - he replied as a matter of fact.
Looking at him, she scrunched her eyebrows, "Brother Yichan, it wasn't necessary. I don't want to trouble anyone. I could've had breakfast on my way to visit mum" - she said.
"Silly girl, it's not a problem. Are you visiting auntie today?" - he asked.
"I usually go and have breakfast with mum on Saturday"- she said.
Nodding his head, "Let's go, I will drive you there. Do you have any other plans for today?" - Yichan asked.
Shaking her head, she was about to answer when yichan's phone rang.
