Chapter 199 - Love You (1/2)

”Why are you dressed like this?” Shen Lihua pointed her chin towards the panda-printed pyjama.

Yu Mei: ”_” Why did it feel like she was detained in a prison and the interrogation was just going on and on?

Right at this moment, the doorbell rang saving her from this hell of a rapid-fire round.

”Who can it be?” Shen Lihua frowned. She was used to living alone and having so many people around somewhat overwhelmed her.

”It is my brother, Yu Jinhai,” Yu Mei glanced at the door as she tried to stand up only to be pulled back by Jun Zixuan.

”Sit here. I'll open the door.”

Their interaction did not escape Shen Lihua's keen eyes who glanced at her younger son meaningfully.

Jun Boyan stood up, ”I'll go open the door, brother. You sit here.”

”Yu Jinhai? Li Na's son?” Shen Lihua's eyes shone with excitement.

Yu Mei nodded.

...

The next day, at the gazebo.

''Pretty Aunt, I want donuts,” Yu Jinhai tugged at the woman's hand.

Shen Lihua smiled, ”Alright, baby. I'll make everything for you.”

Yu Mei sat on the swing as she basked under the morning sunlight that touched the side of her face.

Jun Zixuan propped his face on his fist as his elbow rested on the arm of the chair. His mesmerizing gaze was fixated on the woman as she played with her hair.

Shen Lihua stood up from the chair before looking at the 'daughter-in-law' who seemed to have walked straight out of a painting, ”Anything else that you can do other than looking beautiful?”

Yu Mei tilted her head to the side as she glanced at the woman, ”Oh, mother-in-law, I can do many things. I'm a full package. Being beautiful is just a bonus.”

The Jun Brothers: ”_”

The mother-in-law: ”_”

”Alright, come and cook with me.”

The corner of her lips twitched, ”In fact cooking and I are like two parallel lines. Since I love food, we will always walk together. But the intersection point is quite invisible,” Yu Mei explained with full logic, hoping that the woman would get her point.

Shen Lihua narrowed her eyes, ”There is a small kitchen in the garden. You will love that.”

Jun Zixuan glanced at his wife then at his mother who was hell-bent on teaching her the art of cooking.

”Mom, we haven't cooked together for a long time. Let me help you today,” He walked towards her while loosening the top two buttons of his shirt.

”You are just saving your wife out of this, aren't you?” Shen Lihua glanced at her.

”He is saving your little kitchen from a blast,” Yu Mei interjected.

Jun Zixuan pursed his lips before holding his mother's hand, ”Let's go, Mom.”
