Chapter 353 - Phew! That Was Hot! (1/2)

A happy family reunion is not something that happens every day. But when it did, it leaves a feeling of being complete. And that's what Xu Mey felt at the moment seeing her father and her brother having a heart-to-heart while she just sat at the side.

Not even for a second, her heart could feel that they were missing something or perhaps... someone. Because in her life, whatever place a mother could hold wasn't there. There was no such thing as a daughter's love for her mother... At the very least not for an absent mother.

She decided to leave her father and brother alone while she made her way back towards Jie's room.

Inside Jie's room...

"What do you mean by there is a shark behind the fish?" Jie was feeling frustrated since someone really loved using codewords. "Do you really mean there is another mastermind behind it all?" He questioned with his one hand holding the phone to his ear while the other hand was pinching the space between his brows.

He heard the sound of breathing through the mouth accompanied by, "Phew! That was hot!"

"Ru'er! What are you doing?" Jie asked again through gritted teeth. "Don't tell me you are busy eating right now!" He was holding onto his anger with much difficulty.

"Yeah, I am! Wooo, this is yummy!" He had the urge to get in the phone to strangle her right now.

"I thought you are going to catch a shark," he still tried to talk civilly which wasn't proving to be easy at all.

He heard her sniffling her nose as if she was eating something spicy and then heard her answer, "Look, bro, I was on my way to catch the shark but you see, on my way, an octopus caught my eyes. I was fascinated by it and decided to cut it open and stir fry it. It tastes better than I thought it would."

Some people have a way with words and Ru was one of those people. She mostly had a double meaning of her simple words. If anyone would hear her words they might take it the wrong way but Jie obviously not just anyone.

With a deep breath, he asked, "You are at a stall eating stir-fried octopus." It wasn't a question. No, no, it was a statement. A fact!
