The first thunderstorm of the year arrived with the summer.
Su Miaomiao had been living in her new city home for a few months, and the novelty had worn off.
Qingzhu and Liuxu from Xihhe Village arranged for a cart of fresh fruits and vegetables to be delivered. With the rain, there was no time to eat them, and the weather had turned cool again.
She was currently watching the rain hit the pond from the pavilion.
The water surface was a mess.
Su Miaomiao was in a bad mood. Recently, Cheng Hao had been out attending to business day after day, busy as hell. Before, she enjoyed spending time with Madam Tao and Madam Yang, but now she was bored. She found that Cheng Hao was rarely home.
How could she not be in a bad mood?
The most important thing was that he didn't take her with him!
Yuanyang, holding an umbrella, ran over. She was already wet. As she approached, she sighed with relief and said, "Madam, you are actually here?"
In this weather.
With lightning and thunder.
They were terrified when they couldn't find you. You shouldn't be going out in this weather, should you?
The young couple had been having a spat recently.
It was a rare occurrence.
Although Chief Steward Laifu had told them not to worry, that their masters would reconcile on their own.
Just relax.
But they still felt uneasy.
Today, Madam had disappeared.
Of course, they had to be worried.
Yuanyang thought about how her madam’s thought process was not like ordinary people's; it was very erratic. She also remembered that her madam liked the pavilion very much, so she thought she would come and take a look.
As a result, she saw a lone figure under the pavilion, and it was indeed their madam!
Su Miaomiao felt wronged. She said, "It wasn't raining when I came. Then it started thundering and raining, and I couldn't go back."
This pavilion was not connected to any covered walkways. She wanted to wait until the rain subsided before returning.
Who knew it would get heavier and heavier?
Seeing this, Yuanyang also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to help her, "Then let's go back now?"
She said that Xinghua had made ginger milk, and drinking it warm would make her feel a little better.
Su Miaomiao said, "You can tell I'm in a bad mood lately!?"
Could her childhood friend not tell?
He was deliberately ignoring her, disregarding her requests, and not taking her with him!
Yuanyang was momentarily speechless.
Su Miaomiao became dejected again. She felt that she had been holding a lot of resentment lately, and her mood was inexplicably unhappy. It was because Cheng Hao didn't take her with him. He used to be so eager to keep her by his side, but now he wasn't.
Yuanyang worried that when her master returned later and saw his madam standing in the wind and rain, he would get angry again. Their master didn't scold or hit people when he was angry, but he would say a few harsh words, and the servants would be very nervous.
Su Miaomiao was sighing and standing up.
Then, two more figures with an imposing manner appeared. Weren't they her annoying childhood friend?
Still dare to be angry?!
She was the one who was angry!!
Su Miaomiao immediately pulled a long face. The rain was heavy, and her clothes were a little damp. She stood there, looking so frail, yet she still dared to glare at him.
Cheng Hao was almost furious. "Is it fun? Laifu sent someone to find me, saying you suddenly disappeared, and you're out here in the wind? Why aren't you out in the rain?"
When Su Miaomiao heard him dare to speak to her like that, she immediately prepared to walk out of the pavilion.
Yuanyang wanted to pull her back but dared not.
Cheng Hao said with a dark face, "Don't stop her, let her try. Go and get rained on!"
Su Miaomiao actually dared to do it.
But she wasn't that foolish. She didn't actually stand outside in the rain. She planned to walk back to her room in the rain.
And then lock the annoying childhood friend out of the door.
Seeing that she actually dared, Cheng Hao was almost enraged. He directly carried her away.
Only Laifu and Yuanyang were left looking at each other. Yuanyang was so scared she didn't know what to say. She used to think the master was both capable and gentle, but after spending more time with him, she realized that the master could be quite intimidating when he was angry.
On the other hand, the madam was like a paper tiger; she looked fierce but was actually soft-hearted.
Laifu rubbed his nose. He was holding a wet umbrella, and his clothes were half soaked. He had been holding the umbrella for Cheng Hao and actually felt a little guilty.
The young couple had been arguing lately.
He had said not to worry, but seeing Ji Bo getting anxious and the other servants nervous, he decided to take this opportunity.
He asked someone to send a message to the master, who was attending to business, saying that the madam was missing.
As soon as Cheng Hao returned, he said that Su Miaomiao hadn't gone out. In such heavy rain, she wouldn't dare to run around by herself. Once when she was little, she had run off and gotten trapped in the mountains, which had scared him immensely. After he found her, she promised never to run off again.
When asked where else hadn't been searched, he came directly to this courtyard.
And indeed, she was there.
He carried her back to the room and immediately took off her wet outer clothes.
Xinghua, watching from outside, became anxious when she saw the two of them return soaked. She repeatedly asked from outside the door if they needed hot water, and only went to get it after receiving an affirmative response.
Su Miaomiao's wet outer clothes were removed, and she snuggled into the quilt, wrapped in it, glaring at him. She felt he was too infuriating and dared to be fierce to her.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Hao felt both annoyed and amused. Finally, he sighed and asked her, "Do you have to torment me like this?"
Su Miaomiao also directly asked, "Why aren't you willing to take me out lately!?"
Her attitude was very arrogant.
As soon as he heard it was about this matter again, he got a headache. "I can't take you."
Cheng Hao regretted it.
If he had known she would be so troublesome, he shouldn't have started this business in the first place.
Recently, she had grown tired of playing outside and started pestering him again. He was happy to have her cling to him, but it was really not suitable to take her along when conducting business; it wasn't a place for her.
Yet, it had started again, and it was difficult to back out, so he had to continue.
Only after Su Miaomiao confirmed multiple times that he wasn't unwilling but unable, did she reluctantly agree, but her mood remained low, feeling unhappy.
Cheng Hao also felt that her emotions had been fluctuating quite a bit lately. He went over, touched her face, and coaxed her, "What's wrong?!"
Su Miaomiao, however, said she didn't know.
She felt it wasn't fun anymore.
Boring.
Cheng Hao was a little startled and said, "What's not fun?"
Su Miaomiao said she was tired of it.
Nothing was fun.
Seeing her like this, Cheng Hao couldn't stay angry. Just as he was about to coax her again, she suddenly vomited with a "wah," which startled him unexpectedly.
Seeing her cover her mouth, he said, "Don't hold it in. If you feel like vomiting, just do it. We'll clean it up later."
He didn't show any disgust towards her.
Then, a flash of inspiration struck him.
He seemed to have realized something belatedly and immediately arranged for someone to find a doctor.
Su Miaomiao also seemed to have realized.
She was also stunned.
"No way? It can't be?! It shouldn't be, it definitely isn't."
Su Miaomiao felt like her life was in doubt.
Cheng Hao poured her a cup of water to rinse her mouth and then asked if she was okay.
Su Miaomiao looked at him with pleading eyes.
Cheng Hao also felt quite embarrassed because the source of her discomfort seemed to be himself. "What are you looking at me for? If it really is, the choice is yours. I definitely care about you, and your health is the top priority."
Let's see what the doctor says first.
If Su Miaomiao truly didn't want it, he would never force her.
Su Miaomiao didn't dislike children. Playing with them was quite fun, but she couldn't imagine giving birth to a child. Although it was said to let nature take its course, at this moment, she still felt a bit unable to accept it, feeling strange.
Another summer arrived, but this year, the difference was that she was pregnant?
