Chapter 310 - Honey Trap (1/2)

From there, with a group hug, everything was back to normal. Well, of course, this event gave a free pass to tease Li Qiao but the rest was all good.

All of them parted ways but Xu Mey's invitation still stayed as it was. She had invited all of them for dinner. Even when Wu Wang was about to drive away with Yang Ziyi, Xu Mey didn't forget to remind him.

Lin Shen had to stay in the hospital till evening and He Jian had to go back to the office while Li Qiao promised Yu Kim that he'd be back soon.

Xu Mey was the only one whose plan was to go home and prepare a feast. As she came back to the Xu Residence, she could hear voices of chattering coming from the living room. And she walked in, she was surprised to find He Susu and Zhu Chen chatting with her father over tea.

Before she could make her presence known, someone held her elbow and pulled her out before she was caged between a wall and a sturdy chest that made her relax instantly.

"Ah-Jie," her eyes lit up as she tilted her head to look up at Jie who was giving her some odd looks. "What are you doing here?" she was indeed pleasantly surprised right now.

"My baby, I thought you were gonna stay with your dad." He spoke in a calm manner but Xu Mey felt like he wasn't very happy. "And that's why I didn't mind you not contacting me for the whole day."

Xu Mey pressed her lips together. "I just wanted to give you some space to have a heart-to-heart moment with your parents."

Jie lowered his face and as the tip of their nose almost touched, he said, "What about the part where you were scheming childishly?"

Xu Mey puffed her cheeks and said, "Ah-Jie, you can't call your baby childish."

Jie brushed his nose with hers and said, "I think baby only I have the right to call you childish."

Xu Mey thought for a moment and realized that he was right. She was left with no way to argue so she had to change her approach. Honey trap? Hehe... That'll work!

She lifted her hand to stroke his face with a feathery touch as she spoke in a gentle voice, "Jie darling, are you tired? You look so down. Today must have been tough on you."

Jie knew what her intention was from the moment she called him, 'Jie darling' but he was a sucker for her. How could he let this opportunity go?

"I think baby, you are more tired after being petty for a whole day." Xu Mey didn't mind him being sarcastic at all. Instead, she felt good for some bizarre reason.

"Jie darling, your baby really is tired. How about you give her a recharge?" Xu Mey blinked her eyes eagerly.

"And how should I do that?" He asked in a low voice.

Without wasting any time, Xu Mey wrapped her dainty arms around his waist and buried herself in his embrace saying, "As I expected, this does feel like home. I'll be recharged in no time now."
