CHAPTER 8
"Hah, I feel on top of the world now thanks to my sweetheart," Li Fengjin smiled cheekily.
"It's not like you need the good luck kiss. You will never lose a deal or profit. You just want to steal my wife's kisses," Li Tingzhe stated.
"You know me too well old man. Are you guys going anywhere today?" He had to ask.
"Your mum and I are going to meet up with the others. We thought of playing golf for a while and maybe chit-chat."
"I'm also meeting up with the boys before I go to the office. Oh, well greet old man Yang and Ye for me. Bye dad, bye sweetheart," he gave his mother a peck on her cheek.
"Oh by the way sweetheart, you look gorgeous."
As though stating the obvious wasn't enough, he gave his mother one of his trademark winks that made the heart of girls go wild when he did that.
In as much as she did not want to admit it, she was a blushing mess and at his mercy.
Oh goodness, the father and son knew her well! With that said he left the house, leaving his mother blushing.
"Honey, he is your son. Why do you have to get flustered by his kisses and compliments?" Li Tingzhe had to ask. It was one wonder that still puzzled him each time it played out before him.
"I was not flustered. You should get your eyes checked," Li Mingyu denied.
Arguing with her husband would only either end up making him more jealous or cause him to want to copy his son and prove to her he was way better.
"You don't even kiss me good luck. You are being biased."
"And you being petty," she stated as a matter of fact. "Okay fine, muah!" she threw him a kiss. "Are you satisfied?" She also kissed him on his cheek.
"No. I want it here," he pointed to his lips.
"You, argh you are such a baby," she whined but she still graced his lips with a kiss and Mr Li was so satisfied.
"Now you are talking." She was just about to comment when he took the opportunity to kiss her again, sliding his expert tongue into her mouth and deepening the kiss.
She was completely caught off-guard. This was why she wanted to escape before and should have. He would always want to prove that he was better than Li Fengjin.
By the time he let her go she wasted no time in dashing off and quickly exited to the kitchen with a reddened face.

The sun was out in its full glory. Its rays shone through the light blue curtains and landed on a beautiful face. With her brows furrowed at the disturbance of the sun, she turned around to avoid its light.
She snuggled deeper into her warm blanket and soft pillow. It was ten in the morning and Bai Renxiang was yet to wake up. She was mentally and physically exhausted the previous day so her body was too tired to get up.
"Little Ren," Jiang Meilin went to call her daughter for breakfast and saw her daughter still wrapped up in her blanket. She strolled into her room and sat at the edge of the bed.
"Aww, my baby is asleep. Wakey wakey, it's time to freshen up and eat Little Ren," she said softly while caressing Bai Renxiang's hair.
"Hmm, five more minutes mum. I want to sleep more," Bai Renxiang snuggled to her mother's warmth. She had nothing to do now so why should she wake up early.
"Come on now, wake up. Mummy will prepare spicy noodles for breakfast if you wake up." Immediately the word 'spicy noodles' was pronounced, Bai Renxiang sprang up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom to clean herself.
"I will be down in fifteen minutes mum."
Chuckling lightly, Jiang Meilin shook her head at her daughter's reaction to food. She missed her baby so much but now that they are together she won't have to be worried about her getting hurt by those wicked pair of mother and daughter.
Standing up, Jiang Meilin quickly made her daughter's bed and headed for the kitchen to prepare the noodles.
Hah! Now she can try out her new dishes with her daughter and she will not be eating alone.
Bai Renxiang immediately went to the dining area to eat after she had freshened up. The aroma coming from the kitchen was heavenly. She could not wait to have a taste.
Jiang Meilin set the table with the help of her daughter and soon they began to eat.
"It's hot and spicy so you have to be careful when eating and do not rush," she warned.
The noodles had fish scattered in it, there were onions, tomatoes and an already peeled boiled egg at the top.
It was so attractive and appetizing. One would immediately get hungry at a glance of it.
Bai Renxiang blew on the noodles on her chopsticks before she ate. It was as tasty as its looks.
"Mum you have to teach me how you make your delicious food. Hmm, it's so perfect for my taste buds," Bai Renxiang praised her mother's cooking skills.
Jiang Meilin used to work in a restaurant as a chef back in her days. She loved the kitchen and she always wanted to learn new dishes. But once she got married to Bai Guiren, she stopped.
He wanted her to be a full-time housewife.
"You just have to take care of the house, our child and also me. So leave the rest to your capable husband." He would say. If she had continued maybe she would not be having a hard time now.
Life was such a bummer.
After cleaning up the table and washing the dishes, Bai Renxiang and Jiang Meilin sat in the living room. There was nothing to do, no place to go and both of them were practically jobless.
