Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei Chapter 169

Chapter 169

It was eleven o‘clock at night by the time Serenity closed the shop. She rode her e–bike home.

“Drive safe, Serenity.” The female store owner from next door
graciously said. Serenity replied with a smile, “I will.” Watching Serenity‘s receding figure, the female st
ore owner muttered, “She‘s such an independent child with a sad past. It was a good thing she
stood up to her bloodsucking relatives and refused to succumb to their

absurd demands.

“Just watch her. Serenity will rise above all the bad. Her good fortune is written in the stars, and
she‘s bound for success. Things are difficult before they
are easy. Those who picked on her will be sorry.” The female store owner then glanced at her husband
and pursed her lips. “You‘re always into
the mystic mumbo jumbo. Why don‘t you start a business on fortune telling or something? Why don‘t yo
u give me a reading? When will I be rich?

“Hurry up and move the stuff
into the shop so we can close for the day. We should wash up and get some sleep.” It
was unlikely that her husband would be an expert at

reading tarot cards after flipping through a few books on astrology. Anyone could be a fortune teller if it
were that easy.

Serenity reached home at half past eleven at night. She opened the door to the house
and was welcomed by darkness. Since Zachary was not home yet, she left the door unlocked



The huge house was only occupied by the duo. The place appeared rather deserted as the couple
were often at work.

Feeling a little hungry, Serenity went into the kitchen and opened
the fridge to check for existing ingredients. In the end, she took out butter, milk, and parmesan cheese t
o make a nice plate of macaroni and cheese.

Following a rattle at the door, Serenity came out of the kitchen and watched Zachary enter the house.

“You‘re back, Mr. York.”

Zachary turned his head around to look at her and hummed a response. After locking the
door behind him, he approached her and asked, “Did you just get back?” “Jasmine had to leave
early, so I was on duty at the shop tonight. I usually get home at half–
past eleven at night. I‘m making mac and cheese for supper. Do you want some?” Zachary
shook his head. “No, thank you.” Food and drinks were served during his social

engagement tonight, so he was not hungry.

Since Zachary did not want supper, Serenity only made a plate of mac and cheese for herself. Seeing t
hat Zachary quietly sat on the sofa without turning the TV on or looking at his phone, Serenity got the i
mpression that he was bothered by something. She asked out of concern,
“Do you have something on your mind, Mr. York?”

“No.”

Zachary pulled out his phone and put it on the coffee table before standing back up to take off his suit
jacket. He then stared at Serenity. Taking the hint, Serenity put down her plate and went
to take his suit jacket. With a smile, she inquired, “Should I take off the tie for you?”



She was happy to be of service to a
hunk. Zachary‘s silence was his consent. Hence, Serenity attentively
removed his tie and examined it before saying, “You tie looks familiar. Did I buy this for you?“.

Zachary murmured to himself, “That took a while.‘

Still, he remained his usual blank face and gave a nod.

Serenity was surprised as she thought he would not
wear the clothes she got him. It was unexpected of him to wear

them to work right away.

“Should I wash the jacket and tie for you?”

“No. Just hang them up. I‘ll put the washer on later.”

The couple had their individual washing machine in their rooms. They did their own laundry.

After hanging the suit jacket up as told, Serenity went to sit down at the dining
table. She took out her phone to scroll the news while enjoying her mac and cheese.

“Is my maneki – neko ready?” Zachary asked out of the blue.
