Li Shuang opened the tray and was surprised to see the food. Tears trickled down at the sight of the food. She had been eating a bland gruel mostly filled with water in the last two months. She had no complaints and was thankful to have food.
Her daughter complained a lot, but thankfully Jiaying was obedient. She did not want to eat the gruel at first, but the little girl listened to her mother and filled her belly with the bland gruel.
Yet the food in front of her was completely different. There were a few slices of beef cooked in sweet and sour. The soup with some veggies on it, and also two bowls of rice. She became emotional before the food.
Jiaying also approached the trolley. She could not see clearly so she climbed up to the couch and observed the food with her gleaming eyes.
Before the game, this was not something she and her mother would eat. After a few months of hardship, this meal was the most luxurious meal for the mother and the daughter.
Jiaying was about to reach the bowl but Li Shuang hit the little hand away lightly, "Sushh, you have to wait for your Uncle," the mother was well aware that the food should be for the man.
"No, Mom. This is for us. Look! There are only two bowls of rice," Jiaying responded to her mother, "Daddy said the food is also for us, he will eat outside."
The little girl stared at her mother with an earnest expression. She was not lying about this. Tang Shaoyang indeed said that he would deliver food for her and her mother.
At the right moment, Li Shuang heard the door being opened. She rushed to check who entered the room. The man returned and smiled at her. Without a second thought, she dashed toward the man and hugged him tightly. It was as if she released the man, he would disappear at any time.
Tang Shaoyang was flabbergasted by the sudden charge. In his eyes, the woman was mature and quite smart if he would say. Surviving for a few months while being weak without selling her body. She was smart and strong in his eyes yet he did not expect the woman would act like a teenager in her puberty.
He circled his hands on her waist and carried her inside. When he noticed the food, he realized the woman and Yingying had not eaten yet, "We will talk privately later after you eat your meal."
Li Shuang's body tensed up, he could feel it as her grip on him was tightened up, "Don't worry, I am not going to throw you away," after whispering that to the woman, he waved his hand at the little girl, "How does my daughter behave?"
"I have been behaving, Daddy. But Mommy has been doing weird things after she woke up," Jiaying looked at her mother weirdly, "And it gets even weirder now. She still calls you uncle, but she is now hugging you tightly."
Hearing that, Li Shuang realized how awkward she was. She immediately came down and straightened her clothes. She acted as if nothing happened and asked the man, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I have, but…" he came closer to her ear and whispered, "I still want to eat you, I am not full yet."
Li Shuang's cheek flushed red. She ignored her and set up the meal. Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang took out two bottles of orange juice. It was still cold, he put two of them in front of the mother and the daughter, "A reward for behaving."
"Hehe, Thank you, Daddy," Jiaying smiled brightly as she received the bottle.
The mother and the daughter then had their lunch while Tang Shaoyang went to the bedroom. He sat on the bed and started to read the messages. He received a lot of messages from Zhang Mengyao and the others.
Tang Shaoyang replied one by one, explaining where he was. By the time he finished replying, the door creaked open. Li Shuang closed and locked the door.
She sat next to him and said nothing. There was an awkward silence between the two before Tang Shaoyang opened the conversation, "What about Yingying?"
"She fell asleep after she finished the meal, she must be very tired…" Li Shuang replied quietly.
"Let's start with our name first. My name is Tang Shaoyang," Tang Shaoyang nodded and told his name. He already knew her name from Yingying, but a proper introduction was needed to smoothen the talk.
"Li Shuang…" her answer was short. Even though Tang Shaoyang said he would not throw her away, she was still nervous deep inside.
This was too awkward for Tang Shaoyang while the woman acted like this, "I will be blunt and straightforward. Li Shuang, you are now my woman, I don't allow other men to touch you!" He claimed deeply.
Not expecting to hear this from Tang Shaoyang, Li Shuang raised her head. If it was before the game, she would call the police or even tell her bodyguards to throw the man away. Now she did not refuse or disagree as she had given her body to the man. She was indeed his now.
"However, you are not the only woman and you are not the first either!" He continued.
Li Shuang had expected this. It was a common sight that a man had several women. The previous environment of this group was like that. A man surrounded by three to four women. The women were willing to do this for food, for survival.
"You are the ninth!" Li Shuang was shocked to hear this. Yes, she was not surprised for him to have several women, but she was shocked to hear the number. There were eight women before her.
"But it's not simple as it is to be my ninth woman! While I appreciate your beauty, I don't accept a useless girl to be my woman!" His voice was strict, causing Li Shiang to tense up again.
