From there, with a group hug, everything was back to normal. Well, of course, this event gave a free pass to tease Li Qiao but the rest was all good.

  All of them parted ways but Xu Mey’s invitation still stayed as it was. She had invited all of them for dinner. Even when Wu Wang was about to drive away with Yang Ziyi, Xu Mey didn’t forget to remind him.

  Lin Shen had to stay in the hospital till evening and He Jian had to go back to the office while Li Qiao promised Yu Kim that he’d be back soon.

  Xu Mey was the only one whose plan was to go home and prepare a feast. As she came back to the Xu Residence, she could hear voices of chattering coming from the living room. And she walked in, she was surprised to find He Susu and Zhu Chen chatting with her father over tea.

  Before she could make her presence known, someone held her elbow and pulled her out before she was caged between a wall and a sturdy chest that made her relax instantly.

  "Ah-Jie," her eyes lit up as she tilted her head to look up at Jie who was giving her some odd looks. "What are you doing here?" she was indeed pleasantly surprised right now.

  "My baby, I thought you were gonna stay with your dad." He spoke in a calm manner but Xu Mey felt like he wasn’t very happy. "And that’s why I didn’t mind you not contacting me for the whole day."

  Xu Mey pressed her lips together. "I just wanted to give you some space to have a heart-to-heart moment with your parents."

  Jie lowered his face and as the tip of their nose almost touched, he said, "What about the part where you were scheming childishly?"

  Xu Mey puffed her cheeks and said, "Ah-Jie, you can’t call your baby childish."

  Jie brushed his nose with hers and said, "I think baby only I have the right to call you childish."

  Xu Mey thought for a moment and realized that he was right. She was left with no way to argue so she had to change her approach. Honey trap? Hehe…… That’ll work!

  She lifted her hand to stroke his face with a feathery touch as she spoke in a gentle voice, "Jie darling, are you tired? You look so down. Today must have been tough on you."

  Jie knew what her intention was from the moment she called him, ’Jie darling’ but he was a sucker for her. How could he let this opportunity go?

  "I think baby, you are more tired after being petty for a whole day." Xu Mey didn’t mind him being sarcastic at all. Instead, she felt good for some bizarre reason.

  "Jie darling, your baby really is tired. How about you give her a recharge?" Xu Mey blinked her eyes eagerly.

  "And how should I do that?" He asked in a low voice.

  Without wasting any time, Xu Mey wrapped her dainty arms around his waist and buried herself in his embrace saying, "As I expected, this does feel like home. I’ll be recharged in no time now."

  Jie chuckled at her clinging to him like a love-deprived person. He lifted his hand and stroked her hair affectionately.

  "Don’t you feel recharged now, Jie darling?" He heard her muffled voice as her soft breaths tickled his heart.

  "I didn’t need the recharge though," he said in a frisky manner.

  "Of course, you needed it." Xu Mey argued with conviction.

  "And how do you know that, baby?"

  "Because we are one soul, two bodies. If you’re tired, I’m tired. If you’re happy, I’m happy, If you’re sad, I’m also sad." Before she could continue on with her list, he held her face with both hands and captured her lips with his own in a passionate kiss.

  With each bite, he left her wanting to drown further in his love. As his tongue drove her mind insane, she was left breathless. "I believe my baby is getting good with her words."

  After his words registered in her mind, Xu Mey tip-toed to bit his lip rather forcefully before grinning widely as she said, "And who is responsible for teaching me all these sweet words?"

  He licked the place where she had bitten earlier before encircling his arms around her waist tightly. "I guess I am a very good teacher indeed." Then he brought his lips close to her ear and whispered in his attractive husky voice, "How about I teach you more?"

  His suggestiveness made Xu Mey flush red as she hit his chest playfully and hid her face in his embrace.

  "Ahem! Ahem!" A couple of dry coughs made both of them stiffen up as they turned their faces to see Fan Bingbing. She was trying hard to stifle her smile but was failing miserably and it wasn’t even her fault! "You know I would love to spend the whole day seeing you both being lovey-dovey but right now, you both are blocking my way."

  Xu Mey further hid her face in Jie’s chest out of embarrassment. Fan Bingbing chuckled softly before giving them both a look of gentleness. After passing by their side, she stopped at the doorway of the living room and said, "How about you both carry on in the bedroom. This is really not the right place for this." Saying this she sauntered inside the room leaving both of them standing there feeling awkward.

  "It’s all your fault." Xu Mey pushed the blame straight to his shoulders.

  "Oh, really? Baby, who was the one playing the honey trap with me?" That shut Xu Mey up as she was flustered at being caught red-handed.

  But being stubborn, she lifted her head and argued, "So what? I was playing the honey trap on my husband, not on a stranger or something."

  He pinched her chin and said, "You better not play this with anyone."

  Seeing the look in his eyes, her heartbeat quickened up. Xu Mey felt dizzy under his passionate gaze and ran away to avoid being burned. Her body was already hot all over and if she had stayed with him even a second more, she really would have been charred.
