Chapter 210 – Jin Di Mansion again (1/2)
Morning, 7 am.
A hearty breakfast prepared by Dong Xuebing was laid on the dining table. “Sister Yu, Qianqian, come out for breakfast.”
Yu Qianqian was brushing her teeth, and Yu Meixia was folding her blanket when they heard Dong Xuebing. Yu Meixia placed the pillows nicely on the bed and closed the door to change. But the moment she closed the door, it was opened from outside.
Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia and said. “Don’t change your clothes. You look sexy in it.”
Yu Meixia replied shyly. “This is my sleeping gown. It’s too revealing…”
Dong Xuebing said. “Just wear it. I like to see you in it.”
Yu Meixia bit her lips and looked at her gown. “I… I… Can I wear a pair of leggings?” Yu Meixia is a shy and conservative woman and feels uncomfortable to wear a skimpy sleep gown outside of her room. Other than sleeping, she will not wear short dresses. All her life, she had never worn dresses or skirts above her knees. Even in the sweltering summer, she did not change this habit.
Dong Xuebing laughed and nodded. “Buy more short dresses in the future. Your legs are so beautiful, and it’s a pity to cover them up.”
Yu Meixia unconsciously covered her thighs with her hands and replied shyly. “It’s not beautiful. You are flattering me.”
“Flattering? You are telling me that you don’t know how pretty you are?” Yu Meixia lowered her head and did not reply. “Alright. Wear your leggings. I will heat up the milk.” Dong Xuebing walked out of the room and close the door behind him.
After a while, the 3 of them were sitting at the dining table.
Yu Qianqian looked at her mother. “Mum, why are you still wearing this?”
Yu Meixia blushed and passed a piece of toast to Dong Xuebing. “Oh, today… errr… the weather is hot today.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Come… try my cooking.”
Yu Meixia placed a sausage on her daughter’s plate, and Yu Qianqian took a bite. Her eyes immediately brighten up. “Hmm… it’s so delicious. Mum, try this. It’s good.”
Yu Meixia was afraid Chief Dong will get angry and quickly says: “Qianqian, don’t talk with your mouth full.”
Yu Qianqian nodded and quickly eats her breakfast.
Yu Meixia used a paper napkin to wipe her daughter’s mouth.
Dong Xuebing laughed and place a toast on Yu Meixia’s plate. “Sister Yu, have some.”
Yu Meixia picks up the toast. “Thank you.”
Dong Xuebing felt slightly guilty for touching her over the past two days and want to make up for her. After breakfast, Dong Xuebing made Yu Qianqian and Yu Meixia watch TV on the sofa, while he cleared the dishes. After he comes out of the kitchen, he saw Yu Meixia sweeping the floor. He went up and snatched the broom from her. “I said you don’t need to do anything today. Go and accompany Qianqian.”
Yu Meixia panicked. “Chief Dong… This…”
Dong Xuebing gave her a stare. “Just go!”
Yu Meixia felt touched and knew Chief Dong is doing this because he cares for her. It’s been a while since she was treated this way. At around 8 am, Yu Meixia asked Yu Qianqian to go into the room to do her homework, while she sat on the sofa and look at Chief Dong. She saw Chief Dong sweating and quickly used her handkerchief to wipe his sweat and poured a cup of tea for him.
Dong Xuebing cleaned up the whole house in the morning.
Yu Meixia wiped his sweat with her handkerchief. “Take a break. I will massage your back.”
Dong Xuebing swings his arms. “I’m fine. This feels like a workout, and it felt good.” If it was in the past, Dong Xuebing would be exhausted after all these household chores. But after he entered the government service, he started jogging and exercising every evening. His stamina and strength are much better than before.
“Sister Yu, what are you doing earlier?”
“Reading. I bought a book about massage.”
“Sigh… you don’t need to read that. You are very good at massage, and there’s no need to read about it.”
Yu Meixia shook her head. Chief Dong treated her very well. He had given her shelter, salary, changed her household registration to the County-City, saved her life, and get a place in school for her daughter. In her mind, she only wants to repay him by giving him a good massage every day.
Dong Xuebing saw Yu Meixia not listening to him and stopped persuading her. “I thought you don’t recognize a lot of words? How do you read it?”
Yu Meixia replied. “There are pictures and I… I still can understand it.”
“Oh… let’s go. Bring your book to my room. I will teach you the words.”
Yu Meixia paused for a second and shook her hands. “It’s too troublesome. You don’t need to do this.”
“I’m free anyway. Hurry up.” Dong Xuebing returned to his room.
Yu Meixia thought and closed the door behind her after she entered the room with her book.
Yu Meixia sat beside Dong Xuebing, and Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and patted his thighs. “Come over and sit on my lap.”
Yu Meixia lowered her head and blushed. She struggled in her heart, and in the end, she still sat down on Dong Xuebing’s lap with her book.
Yu Meixia flipped her book. “This… I don’t know this word.”
Dong Xuebing hugged her waist and pressed his chest against her back. He rested his chin on Yu Meixia’s shoulders and said. “Let me see. Oh… this word is “Chi.” It’s the word for “Chi Shui” (Pond water) and combined with the word in front, it’s “Feng Chi.” This is an acupuncture point, and it’s located behind the neck.”
Actually, Yu Meixia knew this word. But she was too nervous and just pointed to a random character in the book.
“Then… Then… what is this word?”
“This character is “Shen.” “Ren Shen” (Ginseng).”
While teaching Yu Meixia, Dong Xuebing’s hands start to move around.
Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing with watery eyes. “Chief Dong… Stop… Qianqian is outside.”
Dong Xuebing saw Yu Meixia was not willing, and he held her hands and played with her fingers.
1 hour…
2 hours…
“Chief Dong… I should… I should prepare lunch now.” Yu Meixia was breathing heavily.
Dong Xuebing let go of her unwillingly. “Ok. I will cook lunch today. What do you want for lunch?”
Yu Meixia got up from Dong Xuebing’s lap and quickly straighten her dress. “I’m fine with anything. I… I will help you.”
“Ok.”
It’s been a while since Dong Xuebing cooks, and his food taste ordinary.
After lunch, Yu Qianqian yawned. “Mum… I’m sleepy.”
Yu Meixia stroked her daughter’s hair. “Have you finish your homework? Go take a nap.” She turned and looked at Dong Xuebing. “Are you going to take a nap? I will make up your bed for you.”
Dong Xuebing shook his head. “No need. Go and take a nap with Qianqian. Oh, can you sleep alone?”
Yu Meixia blushed. She did not sleep well over the past few days and was troubled with all sorts of weird nightmares. It was until Chief Dong held her hand and sleep beside her when she can relax and feel secure. “I… I don’t know.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Then I will sit beside you until you fall asleep.”
Yu Meixia quickly says. “No need… It’s too troublesome for you. I…”
Dong Xuebing ignored her and followed them into their room. He sat on a chair beside the bed.
“Alright. Get some rest.”
Yu Meixia gritted her teeth and said. “It’s too troublesome. You are so busy, how can I ask you to sit beside me while I sleep. Errr… Chief Dong, why don’t you…” Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing. “Why don’t you… we… together…” Yu Meixia was too embarrassed to say it.
Dong Xuebing cleared his throat and asked. “Is it alright?”
Yu Meixia nodded and asked her daughter, who was blushing, to move towards the edge of the bed. She also climbed up the bed, beside Yu Qianqian and gave Dong Xuebing a big space. Dong Xuebing was slightly disappointed as he shamelessly wants to sleep in between the mother and daughter. But now, Yu Meixia had taken up the center part of the bed, and he had no choice but to lay down on the other side. He took off his shirt and went under the blanket.
“Sister Yu, if you are scare, you can hold my arms.”
“Ok. Thank you.”
Although Yu Qianqian is young, she knows it’s not right to be sleeping together. However, her mother had agreed, and she did not object.
Yu Meixia also does not want this to happen. But Chief Dong had treated her well, and she can’t let him wait beside her while she sleeps. Furthermore, they had slept together last night.
This bed is a queen-size bed. But there is enough space as Yu Qianqian is skinny, and Dong Xuebing is slim. The mother and daughter pair were also sleeping on their sides to make space for Dong Xuebing. This time, Yu Meixia did not hold Dong Xuebing’s hand. About 10 minutes later, Yu Meixia held her daughter and felt asleep. Dong Xuebing’s sleeping habit is hugging something to sleep. He could not rest until he turned towards Yu Meixia and hugged her waist.
10 minutes…
