Greetings, Ninth Uncle

Ch 64 - Pampering Wife

Cheng Yujin's cough was not small. She didn't care who handed her the cup and quickly drink the tea to soothe her throat.

It was really annoying to bite ginger while eating, but even more hateful was that gingers resembled normal sliced vegetables. Cheng Yujin didn't pay attention for a while, and was caught off guard.

When she finally calmed down, she noticed the slender hand that gave her the teacup. Although the hand was elegant and beautiful, it obviously wasn't a woman's hand.

Her heart immediately jumped with a 'thud'. Sure enough, Cheng Yuanjing's voice sounded from next to her ear: "Calmed down?"

Cheng Yujin noticed that Cheng Yuanjing was still holding her arm. His hand was extremely steady. Although the weight of Cheng Yujin's body was pressing his wrist, his hand was unmoved.

Cheng Yujin was extremely embarrassed. Accidentally eating ginger on the dining table was embarrassing enough, not to mention in front of the crown prince. Cheng Yujin was already thankful if His Highness didn't blame her for being mannerless. But unexpectedly, he even helped her drinking tea.

For a crown prince, isn't it a bit too friendly?

No matter how embarrassed she was, in front of many people, Cheng Yujin had to maintain her dignity. Cheng Yujin raised her head. No embarrassment could be seen on her face. But because of the previous incident, her eyes were still wet with remaining tears.

"Grandmother, this granddaughter has been rude. Please forgive me."

Old Madam Cheng waved her hand: "It's alright if you're fine."

Cheng Yujin pretended to be calm and nodded solemnly. Only then did she realize that everyone at the dining table was staring motionlessly at her.

To be precise, they were not looking at Cheng Yujin alone. But at Cheng Yujin...and Cheng Yuanjing next to her.

Cheng Yujin turned her head calmly and pulled out her arm from Cheng Yuanjing's hand. Cheng Yuanjing didn't seem to care at all. He poured another cup of tea for her, and then used the chopsticks to take the dish Cheng Yujin was going to eat just now: "Be careful when eating."

His tone was too casual, so Cheng Yujin let go of her cautiousness and complained naturally: "It's not my fault. The ginger looks so similar."

"Yes, it's not your fault. Next time, I will tell the kitchen not to put any ginger."

The two talked with each other, completely regarding other people around like nothing. But the onlookers were shocked. Ruan-shi was originally looking forward to seeing Huo Changyuan showed his affection for her daughter. However, Cheng Yumo wanted Huo Changyuan to pick her a dish, but Huo Changyuan hesitated. Instead, Cheng Yuanjing gave Cheng Yujin tea and picked a dish for her, which was an exemplary model.

No, it's not right—Ruan-shi immediately reacted. What a model, what exemplary? Cheng Yuanjing and Cheng Yujin were uncle and niece, not husband and wife. How could they be compared with Mo'er and her husband?

In her previous life, Cheng Yumo could only watch Huo Changyuan treated Cheng Yujin pamperingly. But she never expected that after she changed into a new life, on the same occasion, their position still didn't change, and Cheng Yujin still had it better than herself.

Cheng Yumo's expression instantly turned sour, and she became more dissatisfied with Huo Changyuan's indifference. She turned around and said to Huo Changyuan: "No, I just want to eat fish."

In front of so many people, Huo Changyuan felt very embarrassed. Especially....He quietly glanced at Cheng Yujin. Somehow, for Cheng Yumo to make such a gesture in front of Cheng Yujin, Huo Changyuan felt guilty and embarrassed.
