Chapitre 29: Family's Day Out
[POV Hu Qiang]
After dinner, I am still shown the doors to the guest room. It seems funny but Bai Chang avoided me all night. It was as if she is afraid that I would eat her up.
I remembered this afternoon my rewards.
Her soft lips left their everlasting imprint on me. Revisiting that memory, it felt rejuvenating. I am surprised to realise that she is still naive about intimate matters; her armature attempt to kiss was totally adorable. I find myself smiling even thinking about it.
All these times I would sneakily steal a quick peck from her in her sleep but today I got to kiss her. I feel my blood boiling and desire that overpowers my senses.
It is time to take a long cold shower to curb the rising desire in my body.
After a long shower, I spend the rest of my night in my dreams doing all naughty kinds of stuff to Bai Chang.

Next morning, as I join everyone at the dining table.
I notice Bai Chang stealing looks from the corner of her eyes and a slight blush colouring her cheeks. It looks so delicious, I feel like taking a bite of it.
"Mamma, let's finish our breakfast, then we would go shopping."
"Shopping…" she turned towards me with the query in her eyes.
"Mamma, you are already preparing for the next clothing line for winter season fashion show. So father and me, we thought we will pay a visit to the fabric market to collect some fabrics first hand."
"Oh.. My dear, you are so observant, I love you, my Munchkin."
She is excited about the visit.
I realised that after her discharge from the hospital, she rarely left her home to look around. I have to take some time off to take her around and travel around.
The spies loitering around her made her conscious for her security.
As I think through all these I am displeased to understand that she is not spending her life to her fullest extent.
"Qiang.. Qiang… hey finish your food it would get cold." Bai Chang called out to me.
We finish our meal soon. As we would go to the market we all moved on to change our dresses to something comfortable. I and Xiao Wei made a run to our Villa to get dressed.
Both Xiao Wei and I sported jeans and Polo Shirt with collars and sunglasses while I kept a few spare jackets on the back seat of the car.
As I moved towards Bai Chang's Villa to receive her. I see her coming out herself.
She is wearing a white ruffle neck silk shirt tucked in her waist-high faded blue denim jeans. She styled it with hot pink sneakers and aviator sunglasses. On her arms, she held her jacket and a purse.
She simply looked like enchanting spring. She smelled like a fresh bouquet of orchids. I stood dazed looking at her. She left her hairs down, as the small frills of hair moved along with the light wind, it simply makes a divine painting.
She walks towards me and snaps her fingers in front of me to jolt me up from my stupor.
"Hey, what are you admiring?"
"You"
"Why?"
"Because I can."
"Like what you see?"
"Love it and want to hide you from others; I am already jealous of people who would take a peek at you on our outing."
"Do you want to keep me with you as your caged bird?"
"Never, you are my Queen and I am your slave at service."
"You do not want to be a knight in shining armours."
"I realised from our brief interactions, that you don't need a knight in shining armour, so the next best thing is to be your personal slave."
"Think wisely Mr Hu, it is a lifelong commitment." She said in a hushed voice.
"I am ready to commit if you take me in your service, my Queen."
I speak near her ears and her face is quick to turn red. I laughed heartily.
"You- You… Big Bad Wolf!!"
She stomped her foot lightly on my foot and passed me to sit with Xiao Wei at the back seat in the car.
She looks so cute…
I shake my head and then joined them in the car; Li Jie is responsible for driving for this trip.
On our way to the market, we discuss various, designs and themes for the next fashion line, whereas Bai Chang proposed ideas for a 'High-Quality Limited Edition Bespoke Line'.
This line would only produce one of its kind design and they would be absolute rare pieces. The products won't be limited to only clothes. There would be other products too.
Last night we discussed this project and I looked through some of her designs. On paper, they look like rare gems. So we decided to produce a sample and see how it fairs in an exhibition. Depending on its performance we will decide to produce the line while the exhibition would serve as its introductory publicity.
We finally reach the fabric market.
It is 10:30 a.m. and the market is slowly starting to look alive.
We are early.
Instead of diving headfirst to buying, we decided to first look around the market. As we were looking around Bai Chang would explain various fabrics and their characteristics to Xiao Wei. She would teach him to identify a fabric from its feel and then ascertain the quality through thread count.
I am surprised at her knowledge of fabrics. I knew she liked designing even when she was autistic before but her trove of knowledge would be so deep I never realised.
After walking around all morning we went to a nearby food stall to have some food and refreshment.
After taking a break and enjoying local street cuisine, we dove into proper shopping.
I witnessed the mythical power of women bargaining and smart shopping.
It blew my mind.
Even Xiao Wei tagged along in the bargaining process and they made a hefty discount for the number of raw materials they purchased.
I made a mental calculation and concluded.
They were much more effective in procuring raw materials than my dedicated team whom I pay such lump sum salary.
The entire day was highly productive and finally, after sunset, we headed back home.
Everyone was tired from all that walking around and didn't realise when we fell asleep in the car.
