213 So do you want me to stop? (2/2)

Liling sat with smiles on her face as she watched Liu Wei dish the meal.

''Hmm, it smells so nice, when did you learn?''

Liu Wei smirked and placed a plate of abalone rice porridge in front of her.

''It shouldn't just smell nice, it should also taste nice.''

Liling giggled and picked a pair of chopsticks then ate from the plate.

''Hmm… it tastes nice too! Wow, you are a good cook.'' She smiled and clapped for him for a while.

''So how did you make it?''

Well, I followed a manual strictly unlike before; I know it's not too good and you are…

''No, no, it tastes perfect!'' She cut in giving him thumbs up with her two hands.

''Alright, you should eat up before the food gets cold.''

Liling smiled, picking up her chopsticks.

When they finished eating, Liling cleared the table while Liu Wei prepared to go to the ancestral home.

Liling was just drying her hands when he came back down.

''I'll be going to see him, I promise to be back soon.'' He pulled her in for a brief kiss.

Liling understood what he meant and did not press further; she just hoped that everything was fine.

''Okay, I'll be waiting for you, drive safely!''

She pecked him back on the lips before accompanying him to his car. She did not leave until he had drove out of the compound.

…

By the time Liu Wei arrived, it was almost five pm. He closed the car door and walked toward the large building.

When he stepped into the living room, no-one was there; he walked over to a couch and sat down then called the house line.

''Is my father home?''

He asked as soon as someone picked the call.

'No sir, he just went out for a walk, he would be back soon.''
