Chapter 41 - Mother-In-Law
"Qiong, don't you think killing your future husband this fast is a crime…" Lu Feng opened his eyes and said. His right hand was holding her hand stopping it in mid-air.
"Tsk, you are awake?" she said and took her tried to shake his hand off.
"No, I was fully sleeping, you are the one who woke me up," Lu Feng said with a sigh
Hou Qiong raised her eyebrows. His hand was too strong to shake off.
"You sure don't know how to hide your strength?" she said and used her straight and got free.
"Well, you are stronger than me, if I held back I would have got a nice wound on my neck," he said with a smile.
"Glad you know that," she said with a smile and moved to the other side of the bed.
"Thank you," Lu Feng said and looked at her, and Hou Qiong ignored his gaze and tried to sleep. But Lu Feng looked at her without even blinking for a long time
"What?" she finally lost and looked back at him
"Nothing, I'm just being alert, what if you attack me again?" he said
"I'm not planning to attack, and I think you don't too," she said to him. She didn't have any interest in fighting now.
"Then, I will sleep, but if you try to attack me again, I will get serious" Lu Feng said with a smile
Hou Qiong smiled at his threat and went back to her struggling to sleep. And on another side Lu Feng was faster than anyone, he was already asleep.
"Haa" Hou Qiong sighed…
The night passed fast, Lu Feng and Hou Qiong both woke up in the morning.
"Qiong…I don't know if I should ask this or not…" Lu Feng was sitting beside Hou Qiong
"Ask fast," she said
"Can…Can I get some wine?" he asked her, he kind of felt embarrassing…
"This morning? You don't want breakfast?" she looked at him with an unnatural expression.
"My breakfast time passed, I don't eat it now, now it's my wine time…" he said in a low voice, this was the first time he was disguising about this with someone.
She didn't know what to say, she thought this guy had changed but some habits were still there, drinking wine in the morning itself…
"I will ask someone to bring one bottle," she said with a sigh, she was about to marry someone who was like this?…
"No, not one bottle, 3…4 bottles, please," Lu Feng asked her with begging eyes.
"That much!"
"Wait! This is the only time I drink wine, only morning! Don't think I drink every time…just once a day" Lu Feng said to her
"Okay," she said and headed outside. He doesn't want to go out of this room at all, because that would be dangerous as hell, he might die from their love.
"But…I should as Father a storage bag, I thought don't need it, that's why I gave back one I had…I should take it back" he said to himself, if he had a storage bag, he would not have asked Hou Qiong.
"They should come back tomorrow, right? I will ask that time!"
Lu Feng smiled. It had been a few days since he had seen his parents.
"Lu Feng" Hou Qiong's voice came from the outside
"Yes?"
"Can you come here once?"
Lu Feng was confused. Why was she calling him? But he didnt refuse
"Yeah, coming," he said and came out of the room and saw Hou Qiong talking to a woman, she was wearing white and blue robes…
"This…" he was shocked, she looked very similar to Hou Qiong but somewhat matured…wait, she must be Hou Qiong's mother.
"Hello, I'm Qiong's mother," that woman said with a smile when she saw Lu Feng
"H-Hello.." Lu Feng said, and he didn't remember what to call her! What his wife's mother was to him? What do we call that...yes, mother-in-law!
Qiong's mother laughed when she saw his reaction
"I hope, you look after Qiong, as her mother, I did nothing to her...only troubled her," she said with a smile and placed her hand on his shoulder.
Lu Feng nodded.
"There is no need to think like that mother since the father is dead, you can marry any other guy and live a happy life." Hou Qiong said. Even though there was no change on her face, her voice was filled with emotions.
Mother-in-law looked at her and she was silent.
"I will take my leave now," she said
"M-Mother-in-law, why not wait some time? Let's drink wine together" Lu Feng invited her with a smile. This was the first time he called someone to drink.
Hou Qiong looked at him and couldn't hold her smile back, that was some weird way to call someone to drink. She heard he was a master at pick-ups, but after losing his memories he became like this?
Qiong's mother looked back at Lu Feng, he was older than her…she then looked at Hou Qiong and she nodded.
"Okay…" she said with a nod, she always had a habit of not getting too close to her daughter, but since her husband was dead there was no problem…
"Mother…there is no need to hold back, come in" Qiong called her into her room, but she waited outside for a minute and entered the room. She looked around and smiled and her eyes became watery. This was the first time she came to her daughters' room. Even though there was nothing special about that, she felt… some feeling that she got close to her daughter…
Lu Feng who was looking at all this wanted to know what happened to them, his curiosity reached its peak… why this family was like this… mother who tries to avoid her own daughter? And was about to cry just by entering her room…
'I- I want to know what happened….' Lu Feng thought and looked at Hou Qiong and she also looked back at him
