Listening to what he just said, Rose frowned and said, "Can you stop being so vexatious?"
"It's not fair! I'm not supposed to be treated like this as a husband while you are so nice to your old
flame! I don't even have the right to fight for the benefits I deserve to own, do I?" Bright said
reasonably.
In a word, he was jealous.
Rose wanted to ignore him and said, "Can you just finish the meal with grandpa? He will notice
something wrong if you guys keep doing this."
"Sure, I can. But you can's just temporize this, Rose!" Bright brushed through her in a trot and said,
"Let's talk about this after the meal!"
Rose sighed helplessly. Bright was like a rebellious child to her.
Bright went back to the house and held the cup again.
Rose gazed at him, who was drinking and talking with grandpa like nothing had happened.
Sky came back and sat down soon afterward, with sweat on her face.
Grandpa looked at the pale Sky and said worriedly, "Are you all right, Sky?"
"Don't worry grandpa, I'm fine," Sky said with a light smile, "But I'm afraid I can't drink with you now."
"He has drunk too much, " Bright said.
Grandpa replied, "Don't worry, I'm grateful for your attitude. Don't push yourself too hard."
Then, Bright and grandpa continued their drink. Rose was just having the meal silently and took a
glance occasionally. And Sky, having no appetite for any dish on the table, took a few bites on the
poached cabbage had some soup.
After the meal, both grandpa and Bright were drunk. Rose was busying in tidying up the table and Sky
was helping her.
Bright was sitting in the yard and chatting with grandpa. Seeing Rose and Sky were so busy, he felt a
little bit jealous.
Grandpa needed his company, but he stood up and left eventually.
He went into the kitchen, looked at Sky, and said, "Grandpa wants your accompany."
Sky raised his eyes and glanced at Bright casually.
"These chores should be left to me and Rose, for we are a couple and we work more efficiently," Bright
said, "Or you just want to accompany with my wife instead of grandpa?"
Sky couldn't outargue him, and Rose also said, "Just go and stay with grandpa."
Sky nodded and left after cleaning his hands.
Bright leaned on the counter, watching Rose, and said, "Your words are louder than mine."
Rose didn't answer him and just kept washing dishes.
"Why don't you answer me?" Bright felt upset about her indifference.
"Don't you see I'm busying?" Rose lowered her eyelids.
"Your hands are busy, but your mouth is free," Bright frowned unpleasantly.
"Can you stop fussing around?" Rose felt helpless.
"I'm not fussing," Bright said seriously, "I'm asking you questions seriously and I hope you can answer
me now."
"It's not the Q&A time," Rose placed the washed dishes into a basin of water and said, "Can you please
let me do my job. The time is pretty late now and I need to coax Doris to sleep after this."
"If you are drunk, just take a rest. We can talk about this when you are sober, all right?"
Bright felt unpleasant and left.
Rose was puzzled when she noticed that he left, but soon she resumed doing the chores.
Rose cleaned the kitchen and dining hall and then filled the water jars with boiled water.
Then she said to grandpa, "Grandpa, I have prepared some hot water for you. You can wash your face,
have a foot bath, and then go to bed early."
"OK," grandpa stood up.
Sky supported him and said to Rose, "You can take a rest. I'm here with grandpa."
Rose nodded and went into the room on her left to ask Doris to take a shower and go to bed.
Once she got in the room, she saw Doris was already sleeping on the bed and Bright was next to her
putting back the storybook in his hand.
It turned out that he left for coaxing Doris to sleep.
"You can take a shower now," Rose said, "I can take care of Doris."
"My clothes are in the car," Bright got up from the bed, "Come with me."
Rose didn't realize that he drove here. The road in the countryside wasn't as broad and even as the
roads in the city, and thus it must be hard for him to drive to here all along.
"Can't you do it on your own? Don't tell me you are afraid of the darkness," Rose quipped.
"My car can only be parked around the dam close to the office of the village committee, and I can't find
it especially at night without streetlights," Bright grabbed her hand and dragged her out.
And the scene was witnessed by Sky.
So many questions came into his mind. What were they going to do at night? Would Bright do
something bad to Rose? Should he follow and see whether he could help?
After hesitation, he decided to leave it alone. After all, they were the real couple.
He went back to stay with grandpa until he finished the foot bath and went to bed.
Rose and Bright approached the dam and saw a Cayenne was staying right there. It blended into the
night like a predator hidden in the dark, as elegant as its owner Bright.
Bright opened the door and gently pushed Rose into the backseat, and then he squeezed in, which
made Rose had to back off.
"You said we went here for getting the clothes! What are you doing!" Rose's heartbeat fastened as
Bright closed the door.
"Nobody is here. Don't you think this is a perfect place for…?" Bright smiled evilly.
His ease formed a contrast with her tension.
"Don't be silly, Bright!" Rose moved back, but her back had already reached the closed door.
Bright leaned forward, with only a few inches to her face. When he opened his mouth, the smell of wine
spread out, making her feel tipsy.
"Just chatting. That's not silly."
Rose was so embarrassed when she knew she had made the wrong guess.
But his statement was also inclined to create association with something else, so it was not completely
her fault.
"Does Mrs. Lee expect me to unleash my lust?" Bright raised his eyebrows.
"Of course not!" said the Rose.
Bright ignored her rejection completely and moved his face closer, "So, as you wish, Mrs. Lee."
