Arrogant Wife Forcing Marriages (Indonesia)

Side Story 7 (new year)

A few days passed, and now the new year was coming. Mo An An turned down all schedules in the new year because he wanted to spend time with his family. Mo An An is now busy in the kitchen preparing a new year cake.

There were no servants in their house on new year's night because Mo An An allowed them to go home.

Mo An An opens a recipe on one of the sites and follows how to make it.

"Mama, can jiao help?"

"No need for Jiao. You just have to wait"

"An, are you sure this year's cake can be eaten?"

Li Yongfan was intent on teasing her.

"Don't underestimate me. I've been practicing a lot"

"Papa, did you ever make a cake last year?"

"Yes, but in the end the cake was wasted"

"It feels so strange that even your mama doesn't want to eat it" whispered Li Yongfan.

"This time will be better. I'm sure it is"

Mo An An said it confidently.

***

Li YongSheng's family was also preparing for the new year. Li YongSheng made a new year cake. Shen Fengyin accompanied him in the kitchen. Li YongSheng said to her if there was Shen Fengyin nearby then whatever she made would taste good. Shen Fengyin thought it was just nonsense but she still wanted to accompany Li YongSheng in the kitchen.

Shen Fengyin looked at her husband who was busy managing the cake batter. A handsome man wearing a light blue shirt whose arms he rolled up to his elbows flicked his arms. Shen Fengyin bit her lips, she thought that her husband was not only handsome but also sexy. Shen Fengyin did not know why she was still fascinated with her husband even though she had seen him so often.

"I know your husband is handsome but if you keep looking at me I can't concentrate" Li YongSheng teased.

Shen Fengyin immediately turned her gaze away. Li YongSheng smiled when he saw her.

"Li YongSheng, aren't you gathering with the Lin family? "

Li YongSheng fell silent then shook his head.

"I'm not part of the Lin family"

Lin was indeed a family owned by his biological mother but the head of the Lin family did not want his presence even though Li YongSheng worked hard to support Lin's company but the grandfather still did not want to admit it. In the end he quit Lin company and sold his shares in Lin company and moved to help Shen Fengyin manage his company because of Shen Fengyin's condition which started to weaken since the accident.

"I don't want to connect with a family that doesn't even acknowledge me"

Shen Fengyin knew the man's feelings. Moreover, it was the Lin family who threw it away when he was a child. He felt that the Lin family was so bad.

"Wife, I've booked tickets to A Country"

Mrs. Nian could not come because he could not leave James Nian and Jenny Shen who were pregnant. So they chose to go to A country to celebrate the new year.

"Suami, can you rewind the departure schedule to the day after tomorrow? I'm planning on inviting big brother's family to eat together"

"alright. I'll arrange it for you. But can the family come? The Li family also holds dinner every new year"

"I'll ask him"

"All right"

***

Li Yongfan and Jiao looked at each other when they saw the cake made by Mo An An. They even look weird, they don't know what it's like.

"Hey, why are you guys just quiet. Come on, I'm sure this time it's gonna be good "

"All right, I'll try"

Li Yongfan cut the cake into small pieces then put it in his mouth. Mo An An and Jiao looked towards Li Yongfan to notice how the man was reacting. Li Yongfan swallowed it with great difficulty.

"How's it?"

Li Yongfan could not bear to see his wife's expectant gaze. He hesitated to say it. Jiao ate the piece of cake. He looked towards his papa. He knew now why his father was hiding his strange reaction. Mo An An tried it. He almost spewed out the cake. He is not talented.

"I'd better throw it away"

"No, mama, let Jiao spend it"

"No need, it's weird how you're gonna eat it"

"It's okay, mama. It would be a pity anyway if the cake was thrown away"

"No.no, how you let your daughter eat a failed cake"

"But, mama. If you throw the cake will be in vain. Many people are hungry. We shouldn't waste food"

Mo An An was touched. Li Yongfan finally offered to eat as well as Mo An An. It was fortunate that not many cakes Mo An An made. The couple swallowed the cake with great difficulty. Jiao just ate it without any reaction. He didn't even seem to mind the taste. Mo An An and Li Yongfan looked at each other at Jiao's reaction.

Dreet

Mo An An picked up his vibrating phone. He saw Shen Fengyin's name on the screen.

"Cash,Fengyin"

"An, can you come to dinner tomorrow?"

Mo An An asked Li Yongfan this question. He was not sure whether or not to accept it because it was possible that Li Yongfan had an appointment with the Li family.

"I didn't go to the Li family so just accept it"

Mo An An agreed to Shen Fengyin's invitation. And then end the pangilan.

"Suami, are you sure you're not coming to the Li family tomorrow night?"

Li Yongfan shook his head slowly.

"They don't want to accept you so I don't want to go and Li YongSheng won't come to the Li family either? So why would I go there"

"But, is it alright for you to end your relationship with the Li family like this? "

"They don't want to accept my decision so I have no other choice"

Mo An An did not say anything more. He did not want to urge Li Yongfan. Mo An An felt guilty in his heart because he had made Li Yongfan take the decision to leave his family in order to be with him.

Next day

Jiao awoke from the sunlight that pierced her blinding eyes. Jiao immediately got up and prepared. Today is the beginning of a new year. Jiao is excited for the day.jiao will usually be helped to bathe while she is still injured butu after recovering Jiao refuses and asks to bathe herself. Jiao was not used to being served.

Jiao went down. My mom and dad were in the dining room. Jiao greeted him and wished him a happy new year.

"Happy new year, papa's mama"

"Happy new year, my little girl. Be seated"

Mo An An prepared a complete meal. Usually he would only prepare bread and jam for breakfast but today was the new year, it was impossible for him to just prepare a simple meal

Li Yongfan took out each memu and placed it on Jiao's plate.

"Thank you, papa"

Jiao enjoyed the cooking her mother made. Although the cuisine made by his mother is still inferior to the food made by the head chef who usually ate it but for Jiao his mother's cooking is the most delicious.

This was the first time for Jiao to eat delicious food and gain the warmth of the family she had always dreamed of in her life. Jiao looked at her father and mother who were enjoying the food.

'Maybe I can accept this warmth forever'

"Jiao, why just shut up? Come on, eat your food"

Jiao obeyed her mother. He ate his food with gourmand.

***

"I'll go to dinner with Helena's family"

They are discussing dinner tonight.

"You'd rather have dinner with someone else's family than your own"

"Yes, after all, isn't what you're hoping for is that lowly girl"

"Li Huan Rui don't mention xiao jiao with such a call"

"Why? That girl is indeed a lowly one, she is a hunter who has no status so I am right?"

"But now he is the son of your aunt An and Papa Fan . You should have respected him as your brother"

"Brother? He didn't even have a blood relationship with Papa Fan. A lowly woman like her doesn't deserve to be my brother"

Shen Fengyin clenched her hands. Li YongSheng tried to calm the anger of Shen Fengyin as a result of this son.

Li Huan Rui pushed his chair violently.

"Mama will tell Si's family to decline your invitation"

Li Huan Rui who had previously stepped up now stopped.

"Mama!"

"You should go to the family dinner "

Li Huan Rui was annoyed but seeing the firm face of her mother made Li Huan Rui have no choice but to resign to what her mother wanted even though she felt reluctant to meet the annoying girl"

***

Mo An An An brought a box and went to his daughter's room.

Tok tok tok

"Yin"

Mo An An went into the room. His gaze was directed at Jiao who was reading a book. Mo An An knew that his daughter was so studious that even her reading skills improved, she could also count. Mo An An felt proud of his daughter.

"Jiao jiao"

"Mama"

"You're so serious that you don't hear your mom"

"I'm sorry, mama"

Jiao put down the book.

"Mom got a present for you"

Mo An An handed me a box. Jiao accepted.

"Open up"

Jiao carefully opened the lid of the box. He took out something inside - a cheongsam suit.

Jiao looked at the clothes with high collars that were red and frilly underneath that was shaped like a dress.

"Mama hope you get lucky to attract the attention of Li Huan Rui and also you will definitely look beautiful and adorable "

"Thank you mama"

"Together"

Mo An An stroked her daughter's long hair.

***

In the evening

Li YongSheng looked at the results of his cooking presented on the table with a satisfied look. Shen Fengyin asked her husband to get ready.

Li YongSheng immediately went to his room. Li Huan Rui descended down reluctantly. He looked at his mother who was already using the golden-yellow qibao. He felt that the traditions in his family were too ancient.

Li Huan Rui headed to the dining room and picked up the cake.

"Rui, wait until the guests come"

Shen Fengyin rebuked her son. Li Huan Rui showed a sullen expression then reluctantly put down the cake that he almost took.

Tong

Shen Fengyin pushed her wheelchair. Li Huan Rui followed Shen Fengyin to greet the guest reluctantly. Li Huan Rui was really lazy to meet that girl.

Shen Fengyin opened the door. A family of three came in. They wear clothes with the color red.

Li Yongfan and Mo An An wished Shen Fengyin a happy new year. Jiao did too. Li Huan Rui just silently looked at the long-haired little girl who was wearing chongsam with lace on the bottom that was shaped like a skirt.

"Jiao you're really worried about cheongsam"

c

(this is the clothes Jiao was wearing)

"Thank you aunt, my mother chose this for me"

Shen Fengyin did not doubt Mo An An's clothing selection. Shen Fengyin was envious, if only she had a daughter she could buy him a cute dress and present it.

"Huanrui"

Shen Fengyin called her son who was pecking beside her.

"Yes, mama"

"What are you thinking? Why don't you just shut up and say hello to our guests"

"Sorry, mama"

"It's okay, Fengyin. Rui must have been quiet from being fascinated with Jiao's beauty"

Mo An An teased the little man.

"Aunt An thought too much passed over"

Li Huan Rui responded coldly.

"Mama, I'll call papa"

"All right"

Li Huan Rui immediately left while Shen Fengyin escorted her guest to the dining room. There was a lot of food already provided there was even a cake that Mo An An failed to make. Seeing the cake made Mo An An become annoyed, he did not want to eat the cake anymore.

"Sorry, I'm late to say hello"

Li YongSheng who was using matching colored changsan with Shen Fengyin greeted them.

"Uncle Sheng is very handsome"

Jiao involuntarily praised Li YongSheng.

"Thank you, Jiao jiao. You're also very pretty and adorable"

"Are you just praising Uncle Sheng? Is papa not handsome?"

Li Yongsheng almost laughed at his sullen older brother because Jiao praised him.

"Papa's handsome too. Papa's a handsome ping"

Li Yongfan smiled triumphantly and looked at Li YongSheng.

"Suami, Rui quickly sat down"

Li YongSheng sat beside Shen Fengyin as well as Rui. Jiao looked at Li Huan Rui who was acting coldly not even looking at her at all.

Li Huan Rui was conflicted in his heart because he was annoyed that Jiao was looking towards his papa and papa fan but did not go to his good looks was not he more handsome than papa and also papa Fan.

the two pairs of married couples chatted with each other while their two children just kept quiet and focused on the food. Mo An An told about the development of Jiao as well as her diligent study. Shen Fengyin and Li YongSheng praised him. Li Huan Rui was upset that her father and mother were praising the child who had begun to learn to read and count it.His mother never even praised him when he got a perfect score in calligraphy.

"Have you chosen a school for Jiao? if not yet what if you register it at the school where Rui studied"

Shen Fengyin suggested.

"that's a good idea. At least Jiao has Rui to protect her"

Li Yongfan agreed with Shen Fengyin's idea.

"No, why do I have to protect strangers"

"Rui, don't say that. Can't you treat Jiao well as your brother"

Shen Fengyin wanted Li Huan Rui and Jiao to be close as brothers.

"That's right, Rui. Papa, I hope you can protect your sister. You're the only one you can count on to take care of him"

Li Yongfan responded. Li Huan Rui sighed, he looked towards Jiao who was also looking at him.

"Rui doesn't want to deal with anything troublesome"

Li Huan Rui pushed his chair and stood up.

"Rui has an appointment with Helena. Rui has to go"

"Li Huan Rui"

Shen Fengyin tried to restrain her son but the little man had already walked away

"Rui started being rude "

Li Yongfan was aware of the attitude of the little man he had already treated.

"Yes, I didn't know he had suddenly become as violent as that. Maybe because we're spoiling him too much"

"Fengyin, is Rui getting closer to Helena"

Mo An An wanted to make sure of his daughter's rival.

"Yes. They often play together"

"Fengyin, do you approve of Helena as the future daughter-in-law ?"

"It's still too far, An. They're too young anyway I know what Rui looks like. He only considers Helena his close friend"

"But Fengyin you have to keep an eye on their relationship and I think it's better that you choose a daughter-in-law close to you and a good girl like my daughter Jiao. My daughter would be a good fit to be your family's daughter-in-law"

Li Yongfan almost choked on his wife's words.

"What did you say my wife? Rui and Jiao are better suited as sauadara than couples"

Li Huan Rui was too cold and stiff on women. She doesn't want her daughter to live with little Rui. Shen Fengyin also agreed with Li Yongfan. Shen Fengyin did not want her relationship with Jiao or Mo An An to stretch if Jiao and Li Huan Rui had any problems.

"That's right, my son is too stiff for the adorable Jiao. I've also considered Jiao like my daughter is not my daughter-in-law"

Mo An An sighed. It might be difficult for her daughter to get Li Huan Rui but Mo An An wished her the best for her daughter. Whereas Jiao only focused on eating and ignored the debate of the elders.

Mo An An suddenly realized something. He forgot the gift for Shen Fengyin. Mo An An asked for the car keys and was about to pick them up but Jiao offered to take them.

***

"Helena"

Li Huan Rui approached a girl wearing a pink dress who was already waiting for her in front of the gate of her house.

"Why are you here? didn't I tell you I was going to your house after dinner"

"I can't wait to see Henry"

"Henry, are you very handsome in that outfit?"

'Even Helena acknowledges my current good looks are different to the girl.wait, what do I care about the lowly girl's opinion '

"Oh yeah, Henry. Do you think I look pretty?"

"yes"

Helena blushed in embarrassment at Rui's reply admitting it.

.

"Henry, let's go"

Helena pulled Li Huan Rui's hand. Li Huan Rui would usually let go of the hands of any girl who tried to touch him but not Helena. Li Huan Rui followed the girl to the car.

Jiao looked at them. He looked at Helena who blushed in embarrassment, could it be that Rui praised her. Jiao bit her lips when she saw Helena clasping Li Huan Rui's hand.

Jiao tried to ignore her sadness and immediately headed to the car. He pressed the key to open it.He had already observed how his papa did it.

Jiao immediately brought the pepper bag inside.

***

"An, you shouldn't bother buying me"

"You always give me souvenirs when you go out of town or abroad"

Mo An An bought Shen Fengyin while she was filming outside the city. They had finished eating and were talking to each other.

"It's time we went home, thanks for the invitation"

"Wait, Jiao. This is for you"

Shen Fengyin gave Jiao a red envelope.

"Thank you"

Jiao did not show her expression but in her heart she was happy to get her first red envelope.

***

Li Huan Rui came home late at night and was greeted with her mother's sharp gaze.

"What did you do to get home last night ?"

"I just accompanied Helena to a meal and the place was quite far away"

"Wouldn't Helena eat with her family?"

"Papa and his mother returned to A Country all of a sudden. I just accompanied him so he wouldn't be alone. Mama, I'm sleepy. I'm sleeping first"

"Huanx"

Li Huan Rui reluctantly stopped.

"You know your attitude was disrespectful.Fortunately that our guest is a relative. If someone else. Your attitude that suddenly left could be considered impolite. You can't repeat your rude behavior, you understand?"

"Yes. Is my mom finished talking? I want to rest"

"Yes"

Rui climbed the stairs and headed to her room.

***

Jiao couldn't sleep. He took Li Huan Rui's watch. He held the watch. He had long since noticed Li Huan Rui secretly going to his school. Li Huan Rui always brushed off the hand of the woman who was holding him. Although Rui once held her hand as well but Rui also let Helena hold her hand even Li Huan Rui praised her.

Jiao turned her gaze towards the crown-shaped bando. She recalled Li Huan Rui's bad criticism of her. Jiao sighed. Maybe he does not deserve to be a puntri or queen for his prince. Her beautiful angel is more deserving of being a princess or queen to a prince.

Jiao kept the watch in a drawer. Jiao took her kangaroo doll. He hugged her and then slowly fell asleep.
