Chapter 376 - A Perfect Wife and Mother! (1/2)

He was dreaming.

His cellphone suddenly rang.

Zhang Ye woke up. In a state of confusion, he touched himself all over before he finally found his cellphone in his pocket. He yawned as he answered the call, ”Hi, who is this?”

”Who do you think it is?” It was his mother's voice.

He sleepily answered, ”Mum, what's the matter?”

His mother asked, ”Why aren't you home yet? What time is it already?”

Zhang Ye was a little stunned and repeated, ”What time is it?”

”Why don’t you check? It's already past 7 at night. Your dad and I have been waiting for you to eat dinner. I called you earlier, but there was no answer. Where are you? Why were you sleeping? Didn't you go to your leader's birthday celebration?” His mother said angrily, ”Are you still coming home for dinner?”

He answered, ”Not eating, don't wait up for me.”

”Alright, don't come home too late then.” His mother instructed.

He said, ”OK. By the way, the talk show has started re-broadcasting. The videos should already be online.”

His mother said, ”I will tell your cousins about them. They've always been grumbling saying they were waiting to watch it again.”

When they hung up, Zhang Ye began to look at his surroundings. d.a.m.n, it was already dark outside!

Where was he?

Where did he end up?

Zhang Ye had a small gap in his memory. He couldn't react and felt that he had slept for a long time.

The moonlight wasn't too bright either and he couldn’t see around him clearly. All he knew was that he was on a bed, so he felt around to look for a bedside lamp.

Ba da.

The light switched on as it illuminated the surroundings.

There was an aroma of flower petals in the room.

All Zhang Ye could see was a gorgeous setting in what was a bedroom, but unlike a normal room, this place was huge, about 30-40 square meters! It was a bedroom that was larger than the place that he rented in Jiaomen. There was a sofa, a work desk, and even a s.h.a.g carpet on the floor. On the carpet, there was a tea table with tea making accessories on it. It gave off a feeling of fusion of the luxurious east and west design, of which still mainly inclined towards the eastern style. It was so detailed, that there was even a Kongming Lamp and ink paintings hanging on the walls. It could be said that a lot of special attention had been paid to the interior of this house.

It looked very familiar! Was this Wu Zeqing's house?

Zhang Ye slapped himself on the head to wake himself up. He finally remembered that earlier in the afternoon, it was Wu Zeqing who sent him back home, but as he was so drunk and delirious that he couldn't give his home address, so she drove back to her place at Taoran Pavilion instead. After that, Zhang Ye went upstairs and climbed into a bed and had fallen asleep, until now.

What had this come to!?

That Old Feng kept forcing me to drink!

Zhang Ye quickly got out of the bed as he realized that he did not have any shoes. There was only a pair of women's cotton slippers that were placed neatly to the side. It was a new pair. Sigh, I'll just wear them. Zhang Ye stepped into the slipper and carefully pushed opened the door. There was no one in the corridor of the second floor, but he could hear some noise from downstairs, even though it wasn't too clear.

Downstairs.

The aroma of cooking drifted out.

This was an open kitchen part.i.tioned by a bar counter top. Wu Zeqing was busily preparing something inside. She had already changed out of her dress, which she had been wearing to the afternoon's gathering and was now in a simple getup of a sporting wear. She wore an ap.r.o.n and was also wearing the same type of slippers as Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye said embarra.s.singly, ”President Wu.”

She did not hear him as the cooker hood was very loud.

Zhang Ye shouted once more, ”President Wu!”

Wu Zeqing, who was busy frying some vegetables, turned around to look. She smiled, ”You're awake?” Then she reached up and switched off the cooker hood, ”Did you sleep well?”

Zhang Ye smiled sheepishly. ”I've caused you trouble. I was so drunk that I didn't know my own bearings and even ended up staying over at your place. My actions were too inappropriate.”

”You're welcome.” Wu Zeqing continued cooking, ”Take a seat and wait for a little. Dinner's almost ready. If you still hadn't woken up, I would have called you anyway.”

Zhang Ye pretended to rub his hands politely, ”Is that alright?”

She smiled, ”Don't worry about it. Hur Hur, take a seat.”

Zhang Ye then said, ”Alright then. I'm really feeling the hunger since I didn't have much in the afternoon. That Teacher Feng kept forcing me to drink.” He rubbed his belly.

A few minutes later.

The final dish was ready.

Zhang Ye rushed over to help, ”Let me bring it out.”

Wu Zeqing gently brushed his hand aside, ”There's no need for you to. You just have to wait to eat.” Saying this, she brought the dish over to the dinner table and undid her ap.r.o.n, ”There's still soup and that's it.” She looked over at the cooker, ”It still needs a little while more, so let's start eating first. It will be done once by the time we finish eating.” Northerners usually had their soup after eating, not before.

3 dishes and some soup.

Zhang Ye praised, ”It's such a spread. The servings are so much.”

Wu Zeqing sat down, ”If you can't finish, we can always put it in the fridge. I can finish it up tomorrow.”

Zhang Ye said in surprise, ”You eat leftovers?”

”What's wrong with eating leftovers?” Wu Zeqing said gracefully, ”It's not good to waste.”

Zhang Ye smiled, ”Of course there won't be anything wasted. If I can't finish it, can I bring it home?” As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks to grab a piece of eggplant and put it into his mouth. He chewed a few times before claiming, ”Don't worry, there definitely would not be any leftovers. I’ll finish it all!”

Wu Zeqing asked, ”Are you sure?”
