Chapter 14 - 14. 'Gud Job~'....

As he tightened his hold over her waist, his soft breath over her smooth skin tickled her down to her bones, she was feeling very itchy.

He took a look at his out-of-order grandmother, who was acting, as if, the apocalypse has come and then glanced at the SPs, who were the best force in the country, but were like paper tigers in front of his woman and sighed a little.[hoho...' his woman', is it?! Man!! Talk about taking liberties.]

He decided to pacify her, "Linlin, you don't need to be so strict with grandma and them."

Meilin who was in a trance earlier, became rigid in an instant because she had an inkling, that soon she will be persuaded, that is, if she let XuanXuan continue. She hurriedly took a strong stance and in a stern voice spoke, "XuanXuan, it's all because you guys were lenient that they went missing for a year. As a Qin, you know that it was irresponsible of them, right?"

Even though he was enjoying her awkward strong-front, as she patted his hands, as if, placating him while using a strict voice, he still put on a helpless face and started "But-"

Qin Meilin squeezed his hand, that was over her waist and interjected, "XuanXuan, no buts!! Believe me, if you try to persuade me, I'll punish you too!!"

'ho....' Even though her voice was stern, Qin ZiXuan noticed that she didn't mean it, as her hands were trembling, as if, she was having a very hard time scolding him. A warm light passed over his eyes as he relented, "haah...Linlin, I got it ba. But don't make it too hard on them" he glanced at those SPs who were treating him like a god-sent-angel or some sort of saviour and continued, " after all, this time they were also in the victim side."

Xia Jingyi woke from her stupor, as she glanced at the only person who could've saved her, but instead of doing that, he also called her the perpetrator and gave an abandoned puppy look.

Qin ZiXuan tactfully ignored her.

Qin Meilin finally sighed and relaxed, "Ok!"

She took a look at those SPs and stated, "I expect better from you, there will be no next time, got it?"

The SPs finally found their oasis and saluted "Yes, Sir!!" in unison. Just as they were going to give their thanks to the Young Master, they heard her continue--

"No meats for a month, no alcohol for a month and a half, 20 miles run before your usual work out regime and no going to bars till I allow it, your membership cards for all of those places should be handed over to me by this evening, did I make myself clear?" her voice held power, which would force even the Emperor to surrender.

Despair could be seen in those eyes, as, they were already accustomed to the nightlife this past year, still they resigned to their fate and weakly affirmed, "Yes, Sir...."

After the storm had passed, Qin Meilin, took a look at the time, it was a bit over 11:30 and decided it was time to leave. Qin ZiXuan loosened his grip but still walked very close to her.

Meilin looked at the SPs and ordered, "Take the luggage of grandma and head back directly to the mansion. No need to follow us. You may take leave for the day." No matter what, Qin Meilin was not a tyrant, she knew, they also deserved their rest.

She took a few steps towards her grandma and finally, in a gentle and soft voice continued, "Grandma, we should go." She was never someone who was good with her words, she didn't have to say much to Qin ZiXuan as they understood each other very well and even if she had to, she understood almost everything about him but when it came to others, she was always in a bind.

Just then, like always, Qin ZiXuan came to her rescue.

"Grandma, we should get going, the distance is quite long."

Xia Jingyi who saw her granddaughter who was lost for words and grandson helping her out, somehow, couldn't help but let out a smile. She knew that her A'Mei was a bit too strict but she also knew that the boy would always be there to placate her, though she was still a bit irritated about her punishment, what could she do ba?

#This couple is too cute for me to handle#

#I can't even express that I am angry...sighs#

She didn't make a fuss and went with them, though, she had a grumpy and sulking face.

Qin Meilin saw her acting like this and sighed. She never regretted her decision but watching her like this, she still felt a bit heavy. She unconsciously went to the driver's side when she noticed that Xia Jingyi had stopped walking behind her, she turned around only to see her stupefied face.

Just when she was going to ask her, what happened, she heard Qin ZiXuan clear his throat.

"I should drive" he smiled at her.

One thing Xia Jingyi was actually very scared of except Qin Meilin was Qin Meilin's driving skill, she was the type who always believed in efficiency and always sped through the way, one of the only news they got from her when she was abroad was that she has taken a liking to drag-racing and Xia Jingyi was extremely scared of it. Being old was a reason but Xia Jingyi, though a bit reckless, didn't like such sports and hence was a bit stiff but then relaxed when she heard Qin ZiXuan's comment. She gave a thumbs up to him in her heart,'Gud Job~'

Qin Meilin didn't mind it, she shrugged and went to open the back door for Xia Jingyi, to which Xia Jingyi felt extremely elated and hopped in, it's not every day you get to see A'Mei act like a gentleman(?) for anyone except her prince la.

Qin Meilin then went to the passenger seat and buckled up when she saw Qin ZiXuan startup.

As the left the airport, she quietly mumbled so that, only he could hear her, "Stop by the Komagi's"

When he heard her, he just smiled.
