SM Notebook - Married Life (Part 3)
Just before day break, Xiang-zhe brought Sun-mei out for a stroll along the pond in the garden. The early morning air is so fresh and refreshing,? said Sun-mei as she took a deep breath and circled Xiang-zhe arm with hers possessively, right now, I feel really happy.? The simple things in life and gratis happiness? that is so like Sun-mei? thought Xiang-zhe as his heart is filled with boundless happiness!
Smiling, Xiang-zhe looked at Sun-mei tenderly o happy? So easily contented? Looks like I am not of any value to you.? Who says you¡¦re not valuable? Sun-mei looked at Xiang-zhe earnestly, if my happiness is ninety percent, you would be the ten percent to complete that hundred.?To have known senior and have him, thought Sun-mei makes her the happiest woman in the world. Even Cinderella could not be more fortunate and blissful than her, thought Sun-mei. Hearing this, Xiang-zhe felt his heart warmed too, it appears that I am only worth ten percent,?he said playfully. On this, both Sun-mei and Xiang-zhe burst into laughter.
Zhen Sun-mei! ?Miss Zhen Sun-mei!?hearing her name called, Sun-mei looked around to see who was calling her. s it really you, Zhen Sun-mei? It really you!? An elated mother and daughter walked towards Xiang-zhe and Sun-mei. Excuse me?Is anything the matter?Sun-mei asked unknowingly. It¡¦s so good to see you. Our whole family simply adores you!? Pushing the little girl towards Sun-mei, this is my daughter, she loves watching your shows and would speak of you day in day out.? The little girl took out a booklet and looked at Sun-mei with adoration, big sister, can I have your autograph please? Taking a glimpse at Xiang-zhe, Sun-mei crouched next to the little girl and sign on her booklet. Thank you,?said Sun-mei merrily to her little fan.
Just then, the mother took out her camera and asked Xiang-zhe Mister, can you please take a picture for us?sure!?said Xiang-zhe who readily played the role of a photographer. Upon completing her mission, the woman thanked Xiang-zhe and Sun-mei ceaselessly, thank you so much, seeing you in person today allows me to brag to my friends for a while. You look really pretty in person! Bye.? ye big sister, bye uncle!? the little girl waved to them. Big sister and Uncle? Do I really look that old? Xiang-zhe thought smilingly.
ye!?Sun-mei waved cheerfully. By the way, you have a really fine looking husband,?coUmmented the woman as she turned back to look at the couple again before leaving with her daughter. This time, Xiang-zhe who has been holding his amusement for quite a while, burst out laughing. Glancing towards Xiang-zhe direction, Sun-mei naively asked, Why should you be so jubilant? This isn¡¦t the first time you hear someone praise you of your good looks? am amused with my status. In the past I was so and so bosses?son, now Ie learned that I am so and so newscaster husband. I theorize I must forever be living under someone shadow.
Now you can understand what I have to go though in the office,?said Sun-mei pouting. To the people in the office, I am so and so director wife. Especially the ladies?they would look at me so strangely, as if saying this vixen is not worthy of the director,?mimic Sun-mei. What nonsense are you saying? I wonder what have you contain in that little head of yours?Xiang-zhe pat Sun-mei forehead lovingly, then put his arm around her shoulders and steered her forward. Trust Sun-mei to describe herself a vixen. Is there such an adorable vixen? Xiang-zhe couldn help smiling from within his heart.
Xiang-zhe brought Sun-mei home for lunch with Gui Cheng and Zhen Su. After lunch, Gui Cheng and Xiang-zhe were chatting outside the front terrace. Xiang-zhe related the morning incident to Gui Cheng. Really! I would never have thought Sun-mei have so many followers,?Gui Cheng said excitedly. You¡¦re right!? Xiang-zhe could understand proud his father-in-law was as he too was proud of Sun-mei. knew right from the start that Sun-mei would make it. Of course? she is my daughter after all,?Gui Cheng smiled unrestrainedly.
Meanwhile, Sun-mei and Zhen Su brought out a tray of fruits. What are the you two talking unreservedly about?Zhen Su said as she laid the tray on the table. Umm?this is really good?Sun-mei said as she took a bite at a slice of the apple. Come, Dad? try this? Sun-mei said as she put her half eaten slice apple into Gui Cheng mouth. Xiang-zhe looked at the wonderful picture of the father and daughter and thought how lovely Sun-mei looked. How can she be so exquisite?
Patting Sun-mei hand, Zhen Su couldn help but said disapprovingly eally? Sun-mei, you shouldn be behaving like a kid, now that you are married!? Sun-mei pouted and glanced shyly at Xiang-zhe. It really doesn matter?Xiang-zhe said looking back at Sun-mei. But of course it doesn matter,?said Gui Cheng still munching his apple. Before Sun-mei was married, you indulge her and now that she married, you pamper her,?Zhen Su pointed at Gui Cheng then at Xiang-zhe. an put up with the two of you! I can see that Sun-mei will never grow up at the rate you two are going.? Auntie!?protested Sun-mei? I am not a child anymore. The pot calling the kettle black?you too have a share in pampering Sun-mei? looking at Xiang-zhe, Gui Cheng added besides, Xiang-zhe isn complaining, you should not be such a nag.? h Dad!?looking at Sun-mei expression, Xiang-zhe, Gui Cheng and Zhen Su burst out laughing.
The gentle afternoon breeze mingled with the intermittent laughter from Gui Cheng terrace drifted across the front yard.
