My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 170

They went home in time for lunch.

Venus Mu had such a good appetite that she finished two bowls of rice in succession. This change delighted both Kerry Ye and Mrs. Qin because it indicated that she wanted to live on.

Perhaps it was the change of mind, Venus fell into sleep very quickly this night. The maid told this good news to Kerry.

“Fair well, take good care of her.”

The maid nodded heavily and was going to leave, then Kerry said, “It’s not easy for her to fall into sleep, so keep as quiet as you can when you go to bed and don’t wake her up by your noise.”

With her face blushed, the maid whispered, “Yes, Young Master.” And then she rushed to the second floor.

Good sleep and nutritious diets gave Venus a florid complexion and a better body shape. She still seldom talked, however, nor did she put on a smiley face. She turned herself into a mute, especially in face of Kerry.

It’s painful to face her silence and nonchalance, but Kerry had little idea to deal with this situation, besides, he didn’t want to force her to do anything. The unborn baby had pulled her back from the brink of death, he didn’t want to set her in that dangerous and desperate situation again because of him.

……

This morning, Venus suddenly found that she could find no clothes in the closet to fit her, especially the trousers.

It seemed that it was time to go shopping.

“I need to go to the mall and buy some clothes.” Said she suddenly while she was taking breakfast.

Kerry paused in eating for a moment and felt quite excited—How long had it been since she talked on her initiative last time! That was indeed a voice much melodious than any other amazing music in the world.

“Ok, I will accompany you after breakfast.” Kerry’s long-standing gloom was thus emptied in an instant with gaiety glittered in his azured eyes.

“No, I will ask Xiaoyu to come with me.” Venus refused coldly.

Xiaoyu was her trustworthy maid.

But obviously, Kerry would not rest assured to let her go out alone, and he ignored her refusal, “I’m just in charge of paying the piper, you can pretend I don’t exist.”

Venus said nothing because she knew that Kerry would not change his mind no matter how much she refused.

Seeing that she did not continue to decline his ask, Kerry drank the soup with a smile and thought that he should tell Secretary Liu to postpone today’s work.

They went to the greatest upmarket in Sky City. Since it wasn't the weekend, there were very few customers.

All stores Venus visited were boutiques because she didn't like maternity clothes which, in her opinion, looked too bulky and didn’t fit her style.

Venus walked around a few stores, but neither did she invited Kerry’s comment nor try on them when she decided her picks. Instead, she just handed them to Xiaoyu and told the shop assistant she needed I size.

Kerry didn’t say a word, he just followed them and paid the clerks, presenting himself as a nice man. He enjoyed paying for his lady. The faint smile in her eyes made him more motivated.

After half a day of shopping, Henry and Xiaoyu's hands were fully occupied, Venus didn’t stop and turn to a nearby coffee shop until she noticed that they couldn’t take more stuff.

"You can't drink coffee right now." Kerry reminded her.

"Can't I sit down and rest for a while?"

Kerry looked at her with deep affection, "Sure, you're in charge. Waiter, three cups of coffee and one cup of hot water please!"

"Okay, one moment please."

"Excuse me, where is the restroom?" Venus asked the waiter.

"Go forward from here, turn right and you'll see it."

Venus went to the toilet with a hand propping her sore waist. Kerry recalled what happened last time and gave a look to Xiaoyu, the smart maid appreciated his points and followed on immediately.

Venus snickered at the man with high vigilance. As the saying goes, a burned child dreads the fire.
