On their way back to Ning Xiaozhi's place, Ye Chaoxiang refused to let Ning Xiaozhi's hand go. She shook her head at him. He was behaving as if she would jump out of the car at any moment.
When they arrived at her place, Ye Chaoxiang parked the car beside her house and walked her in. The both if them said nothing but their silence and joined hands spoke volumes of their feelings.
"Since my mum is home, you have to stay for a cup of coffee and introduce yourself," Ning Xiaozhi said as soon as they reached the doorstep. Hearing her say her mum was home made Ye Chaoxiang gulp.
"Is is not too early to start meeting with your parents? I mean... I did not get any gift for them," he said.
"Hahaha! Relax. It does not matter if you did not bring gifts. Trust me," she mimicked his words at the cliff.
Ye Chaoxiang sighed and nodded his head. Ning Xiaozhi opened the door and they both walked in before shutting it close.
"Come on in Chaoxiang," she said.
On getting to the living room, they did not see anyone there only a purse. Just the sweet aroma assaulted their senses. In no time they reached the kitchen to see a wonderful scene on display.
Bai Renxiang stood with her back facing them as well as Bai Xiaojin who stood on a stool beside her. Bai Renxiang allowed Bai Xiaojin to have a taste of what she was preparing in the pot.
"How is it?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"Very delicious. But I think you should add more salt. Aunt Xiaozhi is likes tasty food," Bai Xiaozhi gave his opinion.
"Alright. Please pass me the salt quickly. We have yo finish up before she comes," Bai Renxiang said.
"You are too late" Ning Xiaozhi suddenly said.
"Ah!" Bai Renxiang and Bai Xiaojin jolted in shock.
"Xiaozhi. Oh my goodness! You scared us," Bai Renxiang closed her eyes as she patted her chest.
"Hehehe. I love it when you get startled. Hello there my baby. Come give your second mother a hug," Ning Xiaozhi said with her hands spread beside her. Bai Xiaojin claimed of the stool and rushed to hug her.
"Welcome aunt Xiaozhi. I missed you so much," he said in her embrace.
"Aw! I missed you too" she said as she tapped his nose causing him to giggle.
"Okay. Mum, this is the guy I went our with today. He is now officially my boyfriend. Ye Chaoxiang say hello to my mum," Ning Xiaozhi introduced them.
"Wait... So Ms Bai, your best friend, is your mother you wanted me to mee?" Ye Chaoxiang asked to clear his doubts.
"Uh huh," Ning Xiaozhi nodded her head. Bai Renxiang rolled her eyes at her best friend and turned to Ye Chaoxiang.
"Don't mind her Dr Ye. She behaves stupid sometimes," she said.
"Hey! You can't say that. You ruin my image in front of my boyfriend," Ning Xiaozhi pouted.
"Don't worry Xiaozhi. Nothing will change even if you become an idiot later on," Ye Chaoxiang said and winked at her.
"Hey no one us allowed to tease my best friend except from me," said Bai Renxiang.
"0_0"
"You two are really best friends," he shook his head. "So, might I get introduced to your little friend?" Ye Chaoxiang asked looking at Bai Xiaojin who his behind Ning Xiaozhi's leg.
"Oh right. Aww! He is being shy now."
"Xiaojin say hello," Bai Renxiang said.
"Hello."
"Sigh. Is that how you show gratitude to your grandma's hero? If not for him your grandma would not even be with us now," Bai Renxiang said surprising Ye Chaoxiang while Ning Xiaozhi only smiled.
Hearing that the tall and handsome looking man was his grandmother's hero which means his a friend of his mummy, then he had to greet properly. He stepped out from behind Ning Xiaozhi and bowed slightly.
"Good evening mister," Bai Xiaojin said and rushed to Bai Renxiang.
"Pardon his lack of... Uhm enthusiasm. He says away from people he does not know," Bai Renxiang apologized on he behalf.
"It's fine. You have a good kid, Ms Bai," Ye Chaoxiang waved it off.
"Hi big man. My name is Ye Chaoxiang. Can we be friends?" Ye Chaoxiang asked with a friendly smile and outstretched hands for a handshake.
After accessible him for a while, Bai Xiaojin to walked to him and shook his hands. Then he smiled cutely at Ye Chaoxiang, showing off his dimples.
"Bai Xiaojin also does not talk to people that are not his mother's friends. So you better watch out Chaoxiang. If you tease me again, he treat as air," Ning Xiaozhi said proudly.
"Tsk. Do not involve my son in your wicked plans," Bai Renxiang lightly knocked Ning Xiaozhi's forehead.
"Whatever. What did you make for dinner? My stomach is already growling when I perceived the aroma," Ning Xiaozhi asked.
"Nothing much. Just fried rice and chicken sauce."
"Aaahhh! I can't wait to eat. What can I help you with?"
"Go and entertain your boyfriend. Me and Xiaojin can handle setting the table. Now off you go," Bai Renxiang chased the new couple out of the kitchen.
In a few minutes, dinner was served and they all sat round the table and started eating. Ye Chaoxiang was impressed with Bai Renxiang's cook skills. He did not forget to compliment her. Ye Chaoxiang smiled wickedly in his head. He could not wait to see the look on Li Fengjin's face if he tells him he had tasted his mysterious woman's food.
Sigh. It will be epic. But he had to pray that Li Fengjin does not shove his finger in his throat and make him vomit all he ate today because of jealousy. Well it will be his loss. He had already eaten the food and savoured the taste. Li Fengjin can't cut his tongue... Right? "
