Bun turned her head around to look at Brian Ho with anger. How dared he say that she was stupid!
"You bad man! What did you say? Say it again!"
"No, no. Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that..." Brian apologized as he tried to control his laughter.
"Huh!" Bun let out an annoyed sound.
Even though Bun had pretended to be annoyed, her face glowed with happiness as she bantered with Brian. It seemed that Brian had been treating Bun very well.
Watching them kidding around endearingly, Linda felt relieved.
Bun turned around and was about to talk to Linda, but unexpectedly, she heard Brian mutter, "You don't call me out when we're in bed..."
Instantly, Linda spat out the congee that she was having because she couldn't bear her laughter. Next to her, Anna also covered her mouth, chuckling.
Bun's face and ears flushed bright red. She got angry again because of embarrassment. How could Brian be so shameless to say it in front of others?
Then, Bun turned around and raised her fist. She wanted to punch Brian now.
Brian knew that he had said something wrong to irritate Bun again, so he immediately ran away to dodge Bun's fist. He ran as he begged, "Bun, honey... I'm sorry... Ouch... Ah, ah..."
He knew that his wife was shy, so she would easily get angry with these kinds of jokes.
They ran out of Linda's room while playing around with each other.
Anna suddenly thought of something and told Linda, "Oh, right. My Lady, Lord Nalan called this morning, but you were still sleeping at that time, so I spoke to him for you."
"Well, what did my grandfather say?"
It had been a long time since last time Linda had seen Lord Nalan. She always felt tired as she was pregnant, so she didn't want to go anywhere. And a lot of things had been happening lately, which only added to her tiredness.
"Lord Nalan said that if you are free tonight, please go to the Nalan clan's house to have dinner with him. He also wants you to spend the night there."
Linda remembered that the last time she had seen her grandfather was on her wedding ceremony with Charles. She felt guilty about not going to see her grandfather for all these months, so she asked Anna to call him again. Then, she instructed, "Okay, please help me call him back. Tell him that I'll visit him tonight and have dinner there."
"Yes, My Lady, " said Anna.
Linda had finished her bowl of congee, so Anna took the empty bowl out of her room and headed back to the kitchen.
Linda then called Charles, but Paul answered it for him.
"Young Master is having a meeting right now. My Lady, what's going on?" asked Paul.
"Well, nothing important. Charles seems to be very busy these days. Why is he always having meetings?" Linda asked.
Every time Linda asked Charles about his company's affairs, Charles would pretend that nothing was wrong in front of her. But Linda could always see the weariness in his eyes after having come home from work.
"Yes. Young Master is quite busy these days. My Lady, please forgive him being unable to spare more time to keep you company. His uncle is stirring up trouble again..." answered Paul.
