CHAPTER 485

With all they said being decided, they filed out of the kitchen. But to their surprise, no one was in the living room. Exchanging glances, they gave each other questioning look.

"They should be upstairs if not here," Wang Tingxiao said the obvious.

"Ah! How can we forget that?" Yang Chen scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"Alright. I am going to check up on Xiaozhi," Ye Chaoxiang said before taking calm steady steps toward and Joshua the stairs. He felt that Ning Xiaozhi needed all of his comfort now more than ever.

"I am going to the kitchen to make dinner," Yang Wenkai also left.

"I'm tagging along with you, brother Kai. I need some lessons back there," Li Fengjin referred to the kitchen.

Seeing that two of them left to the kitchen, Yang Chen and Wang Tingxiao shrugged before going to take their seats in the living room. Watching sports was the only option they thought of while they wait for their ladies and dinner.

<Upstairs in one of the guest rooms>

"I heard labour pains are terrifying? Is it true? Was it painful?" Ye Yumi asked.

"Oh, it is true," Bai Renxiang nodded. "I almost blacked out in the operating theatre."

Since they did not want Ning Xiaozhi to continue thinking of the call with her mother, they decided to change the topic. They picked off from where they left in their discussion concerning when Bai Renxiang was pregnant and all that stuff.

"Really? What happens if you lose your consciousness?" Ning Xiaozhi threw in the next question.

"I don't know. But you can't lose consciousness. It is a very rare situation that happens. There are some things that will be given to you to help you... stay awake," Bai Renxiang answered.

"Things like what?" Lisa asked.

"Blood is the only thing I know because it is very distinguished by its colour. The pain I felt was too much for me to focus on those things."

"Wah! I am starting to get scared. If Tingxiao is not in the labour room with me, he can forget seeing his baby," Lisa said out loud.

Everyone: "Hahahaha!!"

*knock knock*

"I hope I am not interrupting your fun."

A knock on the door followed by Ye Chaoxiang's voice chimed into their sweet melodious laughs.

"Ah! Bro. Don't worry you did not interrupt anything," Ye Yumi answered.

"I would even say thank goodness you came. We were almost running out to things to talk about," Yi Changying jested.

"I see," he nodded before placing his hands into his pockets. "Is she still being a cry baby?"

"Hey, I am here you know," Ning Xiaozhi frowned with a pout.

"I am well aware of that," he shrugged.

"We will give you both your privacy. Bye Xiaozhi," Lisa quickly stood up from the bed and pecked her on the forehead.

The rest of them followed suit with Bai Renxiang being the last. She smiled at Ning Xiaozhi before closing the door behind her.

"Are you feeling better now?" Ye Chaoxiang asked as soon as they were alone.

"Mm. But I will feel a lot lot better if you cuddle with me," she said.

Ye Chaoxiang shook his head as he laughed. 'Whoever says that my woman is not cute most be blind,' were his thoughts.

With that in mind, he was already at the side of the bed. Taking of his house flip-flops, he climbed into the bed and under the sheets before pulling Ning Xiaozhi close for cuddling.

"Better?"

"Much better... I feel so sleepy now. Wake me up for dinner, okay?" She said as she stiffled a yawn.

"Alright. Get some rest. We will talk tomorrow when you feel less stressed."

<Outside Jade Dragon Restaurant>

"Sigh... That was superb. I have not eaten so much in a while. Thank you for the treat, Zhao Fu," Jiang Meilin let out a relax and satisfied sigh.

"Anytime, Mei. So, you don't not also go put to treat yourself to a nice meal at any restaurant?" Zhao Fu as he led them to take a stroll down the street.

"I have tone out. I went with my in-laws, Mrs Li, Ye and Yang. But it was not for eating but for shopping for things for the wedding. We just stopped by a restaurant to have steamed buns and hot pepper soup for the cold."

"I see," Zhao Fu nodded as his brain worked something else to say to keep the conversation going. He had been doing that since they got to their private booth at the restaurant.

He did not want a situation whereby they would be stuck wordless after a simple basic introductory topic. He did not want the air between them to be awkward.

Just then, an idea popped into his head like a light bulb. "Ahem! I can always take you out to eat," he did.

Jiang Meilin was kind of taken aback by his words. She abruptly stopped in her steps and looked up at him. If only she knew that her calm mask she wore was broken and her shock was evident on her face.

"Ah! I mean, if I want... No, no. If you want. I'm sorry that was a mis... a slip of the tongue. What I was trying to say is that you can... count on me if you feel... like going to eat out," he stuttered.

Jiang Meilin burst into a feat of laughter as she couldn't hold herself back anymore. First, it was before he asked her out for lunch and now this.

Aside from that, his ears had already turned a shade of red. If not for the night lamp placed beside the walkways, she would have not been able to witness such a sight.

How cute.

As she was laughing her heart out, Zhao Fun sighed at the lovely sight she makes. But a voice soon interrupted him from capturing more of her into his mind.

"Jiang Meilin?!"
