But she had been reborn and wanted to spend her life with him. Living day by day with a frosty countenance was going to take some getting used to.
And she needed to properly train him.
Yun Hao remained silent for a long time. Thankfully, the current Meng Yunhan was brimming with patience.
“Sleep. We have a busy day tomorrow.”
Just like that, his words extinguished her passion.
Was he truly as cold as ice?
“Have you been like this since you were a child?” Meng Yunhan was somewhat baffled. Was his temperament innate or learned?
There was a long silence again.
“Sleep.”
Meng Yunhan felt so despondent she wanted to vomit blood.
Was he really that impervious?
Meng Yunhan was disheartened. She didn’t seem much like a dainty lady at the moment.
It almost made Yun Hao pounce on her, but his last shred of sanity held him back.
She needed to help with making the New Year’s Eve dinner tomorrow. If she couldn’t get up, her sisters-in-law would likely gossip. They almost caused trouble today.
Yun Hao understood human nature, but he seldom spoke about it; his actions spoke for him.
Over the years, Yun Hao also sent money back to his family home. Otherwise, Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang would have caused an uproar.
The Yun family matriarch had a stern talk with her daughters-in-law before arranging the wedding. She feared they’d make a fuss during Meng Yunhan’s ceremony, or sow discord by claiming preferential treatment to the youngest son.
Sunrise hadn’t even broken, but Meng Yunhan was already awake, as was the content Yun Hao, who was holding her. He was used to waking up early after many years in the army but, reluctant to let go of the soft woman in his arms, he continued lying with her.
“It’s not morning yet.” Seeing Meng Yunhan getting out of bed, Yun Hao immediately pulled her back, uttering the sentence with a stern face.
Did preparing breakfast require daylight?
Meng Yunhan looked blankly at him, prompting Yun Hao to lean in and press a kiss to her soft, red lips.
Meng Yunhan was shocked at Yun Hao’s audacious move. She felt the heat from his lips transfer to hers.
She snapped out of her trance after five minutes, too embarrassed to look at Yun Hao. “It’s not early. I should go cook,” she said quickly, before getting dressed and heading out the door.
Finally, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Yun Hao’s mouth.
The Yun family matriarch woke up to see her daughter-in-law bustling about in the kitchen and her son stoking the fire. With a smile, she went back to her room, “Wake up, your son and daughter-in-law have already prepared breakfast.”
Yun’s father looked surprised. He glanced at the window only to find that it was still dark. They’d already prepared breakfast?
After breakfast, they started preparing for the day’s activities.
Meng Yunhan and Yun’s mother busied themselves in the kitchen, while Yun Hao and Yun’s father were occupied with hanging couplets.
“Mother, we can make carrot balls with these carrots.”
Yun’s mother trusted her daughter-in-law’s cooking skills. Hearing Meng Yunhan’s suggestion, she immediately agreed, “Alright.”
Before long, the eldest son of the Yun family, Yun Hai, along with his wife and children, arrived with New Year’s gifts.
The second son of the Yun family, Yun Lei, also came bearing gifts with his wife and children.
Zhang Cuihua, the wife of the eldest son, and Zhao Fang, the wife of the second son, immediately went into the kitchen to help.
Zhang Cuihua was determined to learn cooking from her youngest sister-in-law, Meng Yunhan. Throughout the day, even the children were eagerly anticipating the dishes prepared by their youngest aunt.
Thus, the kitchen was filled with harmony.
In the evening, everyone gathered to celebrate the New Year.
Meng Yunhan was a little tired. Having been bedridden in the hospital, she wasn’t accustomed to sleeping through the night. But ever since her rebirth here, perhaps because of Yun Hao’s presence, she found herself sleeping peacefully every time.
