CHAPTER 512

"I would love to meet with him tomorrow... If that is okay with him, of course."

Jiang Meilin was stunned at how quick her daughter was willing to meet with her new found love. She herself was nervous about their meeting.

"Oh! Uhm, one moment please." Jiang Meilin pressed the phone against her chest and turned to Zhao Fu.

"You are free tomorrow, right?" She asked.

Zhao Fu shook his head and replied, "No. I am travelling tomorrow for an important matter of business. But I will be back the next day. Why are you asking?"

"Sweetie, tomorrow can't be possible. But the day after will. Is that okay?" She returned to the phone.

"Yes. Wait, are you at the mansion yet or are you still out?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"I am still out. Actually, we just arrived at the mansion when your call came in. So... "She trailed off.

Bai Renxiang smiled and shook her head. It was as if she could see her mother right before her. She knew Jiang Meilin would be all shy just like her.

"Mum."

"Yes, sweetie."

Bai Renxiang went silent for a few seconds before she spoke up again. "Are you happy? More happy than when you were with you know who?"

"Yes. Are you?" Jiang Meilin returned the question.

"If you are happy then I am happy. You've been Alone for far too long. I think this will be good for you."

Bai Renxiang was honest with her words. Her mother and Bai Guiren divorced when she was barely ten. From that time till now, Jiang Meilin had not been in another relationship.

If she has someone she loves now and is willing to give it a try, then who is she to be a barrier to that?

"Alright then. Say hello to your date in my stead. Good night, mum."

"I will and do same to my grandson. Good night, sweetie."

Time rolled by quickly and the day for Ning Xiaozhi and Ye Chaoxiang to travel to City Z was now. She was nervous or should I say... Scared.

They were escorted to the plane and nodded farewell. She tried to keep her mind off what might and might not happen once they arrive at her home.

She read magazines, chatted with Chaoxiang and watched movies of her choice. It worked for her but they soon reached City Z.

"Ready?" Ye Chaoxiang asked her as soon as they alighted from the plane.

Ning Xiaozhi rubbed her palms together and nodded. She took his hands they both walked to the exit were they would flag down a cab.

"Iris."

Just as they were about to enter a cab, someone called her name. Ning Xiaozhi halted and turned her head to the direction of the source of the loud voice.

"Yi," Ning Xiaozhi murmured out a name. He Chaoxiang followed her line of sight and there he saw three men walking toward them.

The one at the middle, wearing a brown denim jeans, a black shirt and a brown trench coat. His fairly long black hair was packed behind his head. Hhad a wide genuine smile on his face.

The man in his right dressed in a grey lounge wear, a white cotton jacket and a matching white sneakers. He buzz cut was neat and the top was slightly full.

At the left, Ye Chaoxiang noted must be the oldest, Ning Yi. He was clothed in a blue denim jeans and jacket, a white shirt inside and a white sneakers. Unlike the other two, his neck length hair was left to fall stylishly around his head.

Before Ye Chaoxiang knew what was happening, Ning Xiaozhi dashed toward the three young men and hugged the man in the left. He could hear her laughter as he twirled with her.

She hugged the other two and stood before them with a bright smile.

"Wow! You have grown so much, little Iris. What has it been? Four years?" Hao Yingjie asked.

"Six years actually," Ning Xiaozhi replied.

"Six years and how many times did you bother to call to even say hello?" Ning Li Qiang asked with a serious expression Luke he was scolding her.

"It's not my fault. I lost my phone in school and I had no way to get either of your numbers," Ning Xiaozhi defended herself and pouted.

"Alright. Don't mind, Qiang. We should have found ways to reach out to you," Ning Yi patted her head.

"Little Iris, do you perhaps know that man?" Hao Yingjie asked while pointing toward Ye Chaoxiang.

Ning Xiaozhi winced. She had forgotten about Ye Chaoxiang's presence because of her cousins. She was too excited to see them after so many years.

However, Ye Chaoxiang was least bothered by it. He knew how long she has been away from her family. And the fact that this three men doted in her even till now, he decided to just let her have the moment with them.

You can either call it respect or he was just being sensible.

Ning Xiaozhi jugged back to him and took his hand. She then led him to her cousins.

"Ahem! Brother Yi, brother Yingjie and brother Qiang, this is my fiance... Chaoxiang. Honey, these are my cousins. Ning Yi, Hao Yingjie and Ning Li Qiang," she briefly introduced them.

Ye Chaoxiang nodded as she spoke. His eyes made not so quick contact with each of them. After, he shook them.

"It's nice to meet you all. I'm Ye Chaoxiang," he said.

Their eyes grew wider as soon as they heard his me in full. Hao Yingjie even took a step back due to how shocked he was.

"Y-You... You are THE Ye Ch-Chaoxiang. As in the son of t-the Ye family and best friend of Li Fen-Fengjin," Hao Yingjie stuttered uncontrollably.

"Yes, that's me," Ye Chaoxiang nodded in confirmation.

"What?!" Ning Li Qiang exclaimed.

"Little Iris, is he–"

"Yep. The one and only Ye Chaoxiang and my future husband."
