Waiting For Your Confession

Chapter 6 [Myoi Mina]

It was 8:00 a.m. in the morning, and they sat on the table, eating breakfast. When they finished, Tzuyu suddenly said to Sana: "I'm going on a business trip today."

"Business trip?" Sana was visibly surprised.

"I'm traveling to Hong Kong on business." Tzuyu clarified.

"So fast. Have you already booked the tickets?" Sana asked.

"Nn." Tzuyu nodded.

Sana couldn't remember the last time Tzuyu talked to her about such trips, but she remembers being relived whenever such trips happened. After all, being with Tzuyu was often an awkward affair.

But now, Sana felt that it was a little strange. He left his new wife to go on a business trip only a day after their wedding? She can't help but doubt if Tzuyu actually did like her. However, her upbringing and modesty as a woman made it impossible for Sana to directly ask him. It was also entirely possible that due to their hasty preparations for their wedding, Tzuyu could've arranged this meeting long before they actually agreed to get married. So in the end, she could only ask: "How many days will you be gone?"

"One week." Tzuyu answered.

"Is everything prepared and ready?" Sana asked again.

"I've packed." Tzuyu nodded.

"...." Sana felt like there was nothing else to say, so she dryly said: "I wish you all the best."

"Thank you." Disappointment flashed in Tzuyu's eyes. Sure enough, Sana didn't feel any reluctance from his departure, not even just a tiny sense of dissatisfaction.

The car picking up Tzuyu had already been waiting for a while outside. When Tzuyu walked towards the front door with his suitcase in tow, Sana followed, wanting to walk him to the car. But Tzuyu held her back, saying: "It's cold outside, so you don't need to go out."

The winter's weather had always been temperamental, and when Tzuyu got out of bed today, he saw frost on the lawn outside.

Sana's feet stopped at his words. She felt embarrassed. She couldn't tell if Tzuyu's words meant polite rejection or considerate concern. Sana had always been an introverted and gentle girl. She had never been the type to take the initiative, especially towards things like feelings.

What's more, their marriage was based on mutual benefit. She was afraid that becoming too eager will make Tzuyu think that she was the kind of woman who wanted to nitpick on things and take control of his life. Her pride would never allow her to do so.
She is afraid of acting like Tzuyu owes her something when in the first place, this marriage was for her family's benefit.)

The reborn Sana began to doubt the authenticity of Yoo Jeongyeon's words once more. Did Chou Tzuyu actually like her? If that really was the case....why does he always keep his distance and treat her politely, like one would a stranger?

"Ah, sir forgot his scarf." Aunty Zhang, who had been cleaning, suddenly came out with a black cashmere scarf, hurrying to the front door.

"Aunty Zhang," Sana hesitated for a moment, but then continued: "Give me the scarf, I'll give it to him."

"Ah, the 'Wife delivering a scarf to the Husband' routine? What a good feeling, yes, yes, here you go." Aunty Zhang happily handed the scarf to Sana then returned to her cleaning.

Sana quickly walked out of the front door with the scarf and saw Tzuyu already in the car. She was afraid that the car would start to drive away, so she shouted out: "Tzuyu!"

Tzuyu, who was about to close the car door, turned his head to see Sana running towards him, wearing nothing but thin clothes. He hurriedly opened the door to meet her.
