Chapter 1397: Extra Episode 24 Pregnancy Daily Routine
Xiao Ruiyuan had been coerced by Mo Yan into revealing why he took the Sterility Powder; although his intentions were to protect himself from the pain of childbearing and the risks to his life during childbirth, Mo Yan still couldn’t easily forgive him.
What issue between husband and wife couldn’t be discussed? This matter concerned both of them, and it was something that could have been talked about openly. Yet Xiao Ruiyuan took it upon himself to decide on sterility without seeking Mo Yan’s opinion. At best, his behavior could be explained by his worry that Mo Yan would oppose it if she knew beforehand. At worst, it showed a lack of respect for Mo Yan. She had never been a woman who clung to a man like a vine.
The reason why Mo Yan was angry was only a small part of the problem. More importantly, they were husband and wife, meant to support and rely on each other. She didn’t want this man to silently endure everything alone; it was as if he was shutting her out, and it didn’t feel good at all.
To teach Xiao Ruiyuan a profound lesson, Mo Yan initiated a unilateral cold war. In front of others, they could still pretend to be loving, but when alone, she flat-out refused to speak to Xiao Ruiyuan.
Xiao Ruiyuan appeared calm on the surface, but he was as restless as an ant on a hot pan inside, becoming colder by the day, like a moving ice cave, as none of his methods to mollify Mo Yan worked.
Although he knew why Mo Yan was angry and that a heartfelt apology after she had calmed down would suffice, Mo Yan’s cold demeanor was something he couldn’t endure for even a day.
The servants in the manor sensed that something was amiss between their lords and started to tread more carefully, especially when dealing with the capricious master; they were terrified of making mistakes, and the manor was no longer the cheerful place it used to be.
The not yet five-year-old chubby girl also noticed something was wrong. Seeing her mother only serving her dishes and ignoring their father, who was slowly eating his plain rice, she suddenly felt sorry for him and couldn’t help but drop her chopsticks and tug at her mother’s sleeve, pleading, "Mother, if father has done something wrong, scold him. But you can’t leave father behind!"
