Chapter 209 – Good nigh (1/2)

t

It’s a starry night.

After settling the newspaper articles saga, Dong Xuebing returned to the family quarters with a good mood.

The moment Dong Xuebing stepped into his house, he smelled the fragrance of chicken wings. Dong Xuebing took a whiff and saw Yu Meixia cooking in the kitchen. He changed into his slippers and saw dark rings around Yu Meixia’s eyes as he got closer. She must be up all night. After suffering such a big shock, anyone will also not sleep peacefully. “Sister Yu, where is Qianqian?”

Yu Meixia quickly turns around. “You are back? Qianqian is in the room, doing her homework. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Dong Xuebing nodded and laughed. “Have an early rest after dinner. I will do the dishes.”

“I’m fine.” Yu Meixia waved her hands. “I’m not tired. Err… Chief Dong, I… I… Should I continue to make police reports about my husband’s case?”

“Stop for the time being. The commotion these two days is too big. Let’s wait for a few more days.”

“Ok.”

Dong Xuebing does not want to let Yu Meixia be in danger again. Furthermore, he doesn’t have evidence. He decides to investigate from another direction, like the underground casino. But after these two days, Jin Di Mansion should stay low, and Dong Xuebing chose to wait for a few more days before giving them a deadly blow.

Yu Meixia is wearing a pair of jeans and a long sleeves casual shirt, covering most of her body. Dong Xuebing thought that it might be because he had touched her a few days ago, and she is taking precautions against him.

After dinner, Yu Meixia cleaned the table and was about to give Dong Xuebing his massage. This had been the routine for the past few days.

Dong Xuebing shook his head. “Never mind. I can tell you did not sleep well last night. Go and rest.”

Yu Meixia bit her lower lips and said. “Let me massage you before I sleep.”

Yu Qianqian walked out of the room suddenly and blushed. “Mum, you go and rest first. I will give Big Brother a massage.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “Qianqian is so obedient. Sister Yu, don’t let your daughter worry about you. Just go and get some rest.”

Yu Meixia helped Dong Xuebing top up his teacup before returning to her room. She covered herself with her blanket, but could not sleep. The moment she closes her eyes, she saw the scene of her getting abducted.

Outside of the bedroom, Yu Qianqian stood behind the sofa and massaged Dong Xuebing’s head.

Dong Xuebing lowered the volume of the TV. “Hey, why are your eyes bloodshot? You didn’t sleep well last night?”

Yu Qianqian replied softly. “Yes. I… I am scared and can’t sleep.”

“What’s there to be scare of? Sister Yu is back, and I am around. No one will dare to bully you and your mother in the future.”

Yu Qianqian nodded. “Thank you, Big Brother. You are so nice to us.”

Dong Xuebing laughed and turned to pinch Yu Qianqian’s cheeks. “Alright. You don’t need to massage me. Go in and accompany your mother.”

After Yu Qianqian left, Dong Xuebing looked at the clock. He has nothing to do and went to wash up before going to bed. When he closes his eyes, he saw Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian’s beautiful figure… he quickly shook his head to get these images out of his mind and sleep.

1 hour…

2 hours…

Dong Xuebing slept for a few hours when he heard a woman screaming.

Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and rushed to Yu Meixia’s room. Yu Qianqian was crying and hugging her mother, and Yu Meixia was panting and covered in sweat. Tears were flowing down her cheeks, and she seems to have a nightmare.

Dong Xuebing asked worriedly. “What’s wrong? Are you ok?”

Yu Meixia bit her lower lips and shook her head.

Yu Qianqian was sobbing. “Mum… Don’t be afraid. Big Brother is around.”

“That’s right. I am around.” Dong Xuebing sat down on the edge of the bed and patted Yu Meixia’s head. “Stop crying, and don’t be scare. Everything will be fine after a good night’s sleep.” Dong Xuebing sighed in his heart. This abduction had hurt Yu Meixia more than he expected.

Yu Meixia can’t sleep and kept thinking about her nightmare.

Dong Xuebing looked at her and said. “Qianqian, go and sleep first. Sister Yu, let’s go to my room.”

The master bedroom.

Dong Xuebing closed the door and asked Yu Meixia to sit on his bed. “What did you dream of?”

Yu Meixia replied softly. “I… I… dreamt of the person who killed my husband, tired to kill Qianqian and even… even…” Yu Meixia grabbed Dong Xuebing’s arm tightly and was shaking.

Dong Xuebing sat down beside her and slowly stroked her long hair. “It’s just a dream. Don’t worry. I will catch your husband’s murderer. Don’t be scare. I am around to protect you.”

Yu Meixia calmed down.

Dong Xuebing said gently. “Sister, you are in your 30s, and you are still behaving like a crybaby. You are not afraid your daughter will laugh at you? Be strong. Your daughter still needs you. What will happen to Qianqian if you continue to be like this every day?”

Yu Meixia nodded but did not release her grip on Dong Xuebing’s arm.

Dong Xuebing said. “Go back to sleep.”

Yu Meixia looked at him and blushed.

“What’s wrong? You want to say something?”

“I…” Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing apologetically. “Can you… can you leave after we fall asleep? I… Qianqian and I are scared to sleep.” Dong Xuebing had cleared Yu Meixia’s debt for her, provide her with shelter, and saved her after she was abducted. Subconsciously, she treated Dong Xuebing as her support and felt secured when he is beside her.

Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. “Alright. Let’s go to your room. I will wait until you two fall asleep before I leave.”

Yu Meixia thanked gratefully. “Thank you. Sorry to disrupt your rest. I… I…”

“It’s fine.”

Yu Qianqian was still awake when they returned to the room, and She looked at her mother and Dong Xuebing with her big eyes. Yu Meixia explained to Yu Qianqian, and she nodded. Yu Qianqian looked at Dong Xuebing shyly and moved to her side of the bed. Yu Meixia also straightens her dress, and laid down on the bed, before covering her legs with the blanket. Dong Xuebing sat on the edge of the bed. “Ok. I will stay here. Go and sleep.”

Yu Qianqian held her mother’s hand, and Yu Meixia hugged her, and they slowly close their eyes.

Dong Xuebing was touched to see this mother and daughter pair, and his desire to hug and protect them increases. Suddenly, he saw Yu Meixia’s eyelid fluttering, and her hands start to grab her blanket tightly. Dong Xuebing quickly reach over to hold Yu Meixia’s hand and said. “Relax. Stop thinking about all those bad things. If you want to think about somethings, think about the things that will cheer you up.”

Yu Meixia nodded and held Dong Xuebing’s hand.
