Chapter 586 Dinner

************

CHAPTER 586

"Honey, our Xiaozhi is home," Mr Ye called out to his wife as he stood up from the couch.

"Aigoo! My pretty girl looks all worn out," He sighed as he hugged Ning Xiaozhi.

"I am really fine, dad. Don't worry," Ning Xiaozhi assured him.

"I thought the one who says 'I am home' gets the first hug?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.

"Well there has just been an exemption," Mrs Ye answered as she walked out of the kitchen.

She patted Ning Xiaozhi's hair and also asked how she is. After that, they properly welcomed Ning Xiaozhi's cousins. The trio were very impressed by the way the Ye family treated their sister.

It was no wonder she speaks highly of them.

A brief introduction went by and they all went to the dining table to have dinner.

"I made so many dishes that you guys may like. Although it may not taste as good as the food you normally have, it's still nutritious," Mrs Ye humbly said.

"Are you kidding? They all look good. And by the aroma, I bet it will taste great as well," Hao Yingjie commented.

"It sure will. Mum's cooking is the best," Ning Xiaozhi did not fail to praise her mother-in-law. "Her dishes are always superb."

"Such a sweet talker. Let's all dig in now, shall we?"

They all agreed and started placing whatever they wanted to try first into their plates. At first bite, the three cousins felt enchanted. The mix of the flavour and the texture of the food was on point.

"Mm. This is literally better than most restaurants," Ning Li Qiang complimented.

"I agree. I love the tenderness of the beef," Hao Yingjie added.

"It is better than my own cooking skills. The harmony of the flavours is a work of art," said Ning Yi.

"I am glad you all love it. Enjoy the meal," Mrs Ye felt flattered.

"So... You know how to cook?" Ye Yumi chipped in a question.

"Yes, I do. I had to learn when my wife and I were having a baby. I didn't want to be selfish and stress her to make the meals and still house a human in her," Ning Yi replied.

"That's a good thing. You are thoughtful," Mrs Ye gave him a thumbs up.

A few topics were thrown on the table and little by little, they learnt so much about both families. Even business topics were not left out.

All in all, the dinner was going as smoothly as a sailing boat on calm waters.

Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang was having a good chat with Tang Mohyong. He had come to visit to check how she was doing.

Since he could not make it the previous day, he thought to repay by staying till Li Fengjin arrived. With that, it was an opportunity for them to catch up on those past years.

"So that was basically how we parted on a clean slate," Tang Mohyong concluded.

"Aww! That is so sad. She sounded great for you though," Bai Renxiang sighed.

"I thought so too. But the connection was not really there. And since she just came to the island to experience a one-time fling, I could not kill myself over it," he shrugged.

"That is a good idea. But how about now? Have you found your Mrs Right?" Bai Renxiang asked out of curiosity.

"Not really. Girls I have encountered are either after the money, face or a good 'time'."

"Yeah," Bai Renxiang nodded in understanding.

"I lowkey play along a few times. But I may take the next one I see seriously if she is too. I want to get settled like you. You and Li Fengjin make married life look sweet," Tang Mohyong smiled.

"Our marriage is sweet. Every marriage can be if you find the right partner for yourself."

"Yeah. Let's drop marriage talks now. Let's talk about..." Their chat went on and on with laughter accompanying each topic.

It was fun and it also brought back good old memories. Time went by and Li Fengjin arrived. He was not surprised about Tang Mohyong's visit as his men had informed him of his arrival.

"I see you have got company," Li Fengjin said as shut the door behind him.

"Of course," Bai Renxiang smiled at him.

Tang Mohyong noticed the difference in her eyes. They twinkled when Li Fengjin came in and get was brighter.

"I see. Good evening, Tang Mohyong," he greeted.

"Ah! Good evening Li Fengjin. I stopped by today since I could not make it yesterday. I hope you don't mind," Tang Mohyong said as he stood and shook Li Fengjin's outstretched hand.

"I don't particularly mind. You are friends with my wife after all," Li Fengjin shrugged.

He was least bothered right now. At the time in his office, he was worried that his wife would feel lonely and bored all by herself.

Left for him, he would have stayed but he could not. So instead of being jealous he was rather appreciative.

Checking the time on his watch, Tang Mohyong decided it was time to leave. "Alright. Now that you are here, I guess I should take my leave."

"You would not stay for a little longer?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"Nah. Mum must be getting impatient waiting for me. Plus, I know you married couple have been dying to be in each other's arms and I hate to be the barrier for that," he teased them.

Bai Renxiang blushed but she glared at him to hide it. "Alright I think you should start going now," she said.

Tang Mohyong chuckled and shook his head. "I'm going. I'm going. Have a good night the both of you."

"Let me see you out," Li Fengjin offered.

"Don't bother. The door is right there, isn't it? Stay with your wife," Tang Mohyong politely rejected.

"Alright then. Have a safe trip back to your home."

"I will."

With that, it was just the two of them alone. Li Fengjin sighed and took off his tie and coat. He rolled up his sleeves and quickly went to hug Bai Renxiang.

"How was your day, love?" Bai Renxiang asked as she gently stroked his hair.

"It was hectic. Although I sat for hours, my head ached and my legs grew numb. Let's not even get started with that greedy CEO of whatever the name of his company is," Li Fengjin poured out his complaints like a child telling his mother his bad day at school.

Bai Renxiang just listened and made a few comments in between and when necessary. He really had a rough day. Yet he still comes back to take care of her.

"I wish I can be less of a bother to you now," she said.

Li Fengjin pulled away from the hug to look at her. "You can never be a bother to me. Even if you are, it is my responsibility to care for you."

Bai Renxiang felt tingles inside her stomach t his words. He surely knows how to make her feel loved and special.

"Besides, if you don't bother me, then who should? I also bother you with my complaints at times," he said while caressing her cheek.

"But it is just a few times," she pointed out.

"Few or not. A bother is a bother. So don't ever say that again. I don't want to hear it. I will get really pissed," he warned.

"Alright," Bai Renxiang smiled and nodded.

"Good girl," he praised before locking her lips with his.

He kissed her at a good pace and the burning passion was present. He tried as much to be gentle and not let his horny side out. Right now is not suitable for that bad boy.

So instead, he poured his longing and love into the kiss. It was breathtaking and when they parted, their breathing was laboured.

"I have been waiting all day to do that. I missed you so much," he whispered against her lips while he joined their foreheads.

"I missed you too. Always," she whispered back.

"Damn it, your lips are addictive," Li Fengjin cursed and then dropped in for another kiss.

"I'm sorry I was careless. You would not have to hold in do much one now," she apologized after the kiss.

"Don't be. Things just happen. Although this was a mistake. I should have protected you more."

"Hmm. So what are we going to do about him," she hinted shyly at his little dragon down below.

Li Fengjin frowned upon seeing the bulge in his pants. He weakly nuzzled his nose beside her neck. He then took deep breaths and exhaled slowly.

"I'm sorry. Let's just stay like this. He will behave soon enough," he muttered.

"Okay."

They remained close to each other like that for a while. It was when Li Fengjin remembered something that he abruptly sat up.

"Have you eaten anything this evening?" he inquired.

Bai Renxiang averted her eyes from his and bit her lips. She is trouble. She can't tell him she does not want to eat because of the drugs she will take.

"Renxiang!" Li Fengjin called her name in a low tone.

Bai Renxiang gulped. "I-I... I was waiting for you to come back so that we can order something and eat together."

Li Fengjin squinted his eyes at her as if he was trying to sniff her lie out. "I know you just did that so that you will miss out on your medications."

Bai Renxiang's eyes went wide. How did he know what her guilty mind thought of?

"I'm your husband. Anyway, I will punish you later. Let's order takeouts first."
