Awkward Dinner

Jin Qing took Long Mei back home to dress up for dinner at the Jin estate. 

Long Mei put on a classy silver dress and earrings, wearing her hair down. When she finished, she met with Jin Qing, who gave her a once-over glance that left her cheeks heated. 

He then took her by the waist, escorting her to the car. "He will try to break you," Jin Qing warned her. 

Long Mei smiled cruelly. "I won't let him." 

Jin Qing's mouth curved upward slightly. 

When they arrived, there was short of a friendly welcome, but that was to be expected. 

Jin Qing kept an arm around her waist as they stepped into the dining hall. Jin Qing's relatives spoke, but they hushed into awkward silence once they walked into the room.
