Chapter Seventy-Nine: Return with a Body Full of Scallion Flavor

  "Hey, don't be so petty!"

  "I'm stingy, do you know how much money I spent to find you?"

  "Who told you to look for me?" Lele pouted, feeling indignant in all sorts of ways. She hummed, thinking that he wanted to use this trick again - what debt repayment nonsense! She wasn't going to fall for it. Ever since she ran away on this trip, she had become much more confident and self-assured. Ha ha ha...

  "Come home with me!"

  "No, I have to go see Grandma and Mom. Lele stared at him with her big, watery eyes, she would definitely fight to the end, even if he didn't let her go see Grandma and Dad."

  "Alright, I'll give you an hour, I have a lot of questions for you, hurry up and go!"

  Jing Yang finished speaking, turned around and walked towards the door. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, took a long deep breath, and Lele's heart tightened. Having known Jing Mo for so long, this was the first time she saw him looking exhausted, and it pained her to see him like that.

  Jingyang turned around, startling her so much that she bit her lip tightly. He said in a pleasant voice, "Don't play tricks!"

  Lele was startled, she knew he would disappoint people, his words would chill people to the bone. If only he could say something like "I love you", "I miss you", how romantic that would be!

  "If you don't want to go in, follow me." Jingyang stretched out his hand towards her, and she was so frightened that she quickly ran upstairs.

  When Lele walked into the ward and saw her mom and grandfather, tears flowed down unconsciously. Her mom and grandfather were naturally very happy to see her.

  "You're really a handful," Mom said as she headed into the kitchen.

  "Mom, don't cook, I've already eaten," Lele said. Of course she hadn't eaten, but she didn't want her mom to be busy for her.

  Her mother then served her fruit, and as she ate the big, plump grapes, Lele said with relish: "So sweet!"

  "Jingyang brought it."

  Lele was so frightened that she swallowed the grape whole.

  "Alright, alright. I'm asking you, and you have to answer truthfully." Mom's serious face scared Lele into not daring to be distracted, and he nodded vigorously.

  "Jingyang, Sun Ze and Qihang. Who do you like after all?"

  "Mom?"

  "Answer me!"

  "Jing Yang..." Her voice was very soft.

  "Alright, then don't have anything to do with those two men again."

  "Mom?"

  "Didn't hear anything!"

  "What's wrong?"

  "That departure wasn't as simple as you imagined. If you like Jing Yang, then shouldn't it be that in your eyes and heart, there's only him?"

  Lè Lè seems to understand but doesn't really nod slightly. s173 said on a romantic forum.

  "You're such an unmanageable child."

  "How can you say that to me? Am I or am I not your own flesh and blood?" Lele pouted and asked with a spoiled tone.

  "I picked it up from the trash can."

  "Mom!" Lele pouted.

  "Go with your grandfather!"

  Mom finished speaking and went to tidy up on one side, while Lele chatted with her grandfather for a while.

  When I see grandfather is tired, I serve him to lie down and rest.

  "Alright. Mom, I'm leaving."

  Mom nodded and said: "Since you really like her, you also have to let her know your intentions."

  "I understand."

  Lele looked at her mother. She now hated Jing Mo, hating him to the point of gnashing her teeth. This guy had actually managed to get her mom on his side during this time, how despicable! As for Qi Hang senior, did he have some kind of misunderstanding with her mom? But what her mom said also made sense, if she didn't love him, then she couldn't let him have any misconceptions.

  "How's your cooking coming along?" her mother asked, looking at her.

  "How did you know?"

  "You reek of cigarette smoke, you think your old mom has lost her sense of smell?"

  "Oh, mom, don't expose people's secrets in front of them, okay? Leave some mystery for them." Lele said with a pout, leaning her head on her mother's shoulder, and at this moment, she suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and warmth.

  "You're raised by me, how would I not know?" Mom said proudly. "Hurry up and go, if there's anything I'll give you a call."

  Lele nodded and left. In the sweltering season, it was rare to find real coolness in the city, but tonight the night wind was still generously shaking the leaves. Among the rustling sounds of the leaves, Lele walked to Jingyang's car window and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed. She coughed softly, and Jingyang quickly opened his eyes, looked at her, rubbed his eyes and said: "Get in!"

  Lele nodded and got on the bus.

  At the entrance of the restaurant, Jingyang stopped the car and said to her: "Come in and have dinner with me."

  "Go home, I'll cook for you," Lele said.

  "Oh, after not seeing each other for several days, you've become so confident?"

  Lè Lè pouted and said: "Confidence is something I've never lacked."

  He pinched the front of his shirt with his fingers and sniffed, saying: "With this scallion flavor, I have to have confidence."

  Lele's face turned red with shame, she really was someone who remembered to eat but not to fight, in the verbal sparring match with Jingyang, she had never been able to gain the upper hand, yet she couldn't help but argue with him until they reached a boiling point, bringing humiliation upon herself.

  "Get off!"

  Jing Yang shouted, Lele had no choice but to follow obediently.

  When faced with delicious food, Lele would forget all her past grievances and nothing could stop a foodie like her from taking a bite. Jingyang couldn't help but smile as he watched her eat without any care. He loved seeing her like this. When Lele and Jingyang both reached for the same piece of meat, Lele tapped Jingyang's chopsticks with hers, asking him to let go so she could have it. But this time, Jingyang didn't back down and instead picked up the piece of meat. Lele's eyes were fixed on the meat, but Jingyang didn't put it in his own mouth. Instead, he placed it in front of her lips.

  Is he going to feed her?

  Lele's face suddenly turned bright red, and under the lamp light, she looked particularly beautiful. She swallowed her saliva excitedly, pursed her lips, opened her mouth, and ate the meat that Jingyang fed her.

  Jing Yang nodded in satisfaction, enjoying the sight of her being obedient. The surrounding gazes made Lele quickly lower her head, and she really felt embarrassed to show affection in public.

  Looking at her patting her round belly with a satisfied smile, Jingyang also felt that his mood was exceptionally good. He liked her various expressions. Many women, in order to lose weight or maintain their figure, would be very careful when eating, as if they were eating hand grenades instead of food. Lele never had such concerns, she didn't pick at her food and wasn't satisfied until her belly was full and round.

  "Can we go home now?" Jingyang asked.

  Lele nodded, but also felt a little scared, and as she got closer to the Jing family, she felt more and more in danger.

  As soon as they got home, the house wasn't as lively as Lele had imagined. Jingyang looked at her secretly and knew what she was thinking, so he said: "Don't worry, they're not here."

  "Where did you go?"

  Jing Xiaomei accompanied my parents on a trip.

  "Has Little Beauty reconciled with...that unfaithful guy?" Lele asked awkwardly.

  "You think so, but you don't understand Jing Xiaomei at all."

  "It's just that Little Beauty definitely won't let him off easily." Lele narrowed her eyes and said viciously, "For a two-timing guy, we have to make them cut off their own legs."

  Jing Yang frowned, "You two are really a perfect match!"

  "That's right, how do you know the heart of the injured woman?" Lele gave him a white eye and quickly walked towards her own room. She read the red fire in his eyes, no, why did it turn into a faint green light again? She still slipped away, thirty-sixth trick to run as the best policy! Jingyang had been waiting for a long time, how could he let her get away easily? He stretched out his arm and wrapped her in his embrace. "Where are you running?"

  Lè Lè Pí Xiào Ròu Bù Xiào De Shuō: "Jīn Tiān Tiān Sè Yǐ Wǎn, Wǒ Gāi Xǐ Zǎo Jiù Qīn Lè."

  Translation:

  Lele said with a smile but not in his eyes: "Today the sky is already late, I should take a bath and go to bed."

  "Oh?" Jingyang smiled, "You've eaten your own belly and the spider's belly, don't you need to digest them properly?"

  "How to digest?"

  Lele looked around, this guy was actually the landlord Huang Shiren. Was she supposed to let her sweep the entire house of Jiangnan upstairs and downstairs all night? No way! She almost cried out loud.

  Jing Yang smiled mischievously and gently stroked her nose with his slender fingers, saying in a gentle and charming tone: "Do some physical exercise."

  Lele's face turned bright red in an instant, those ambiguous scenes flashing through her mind, "Don't!"

  "It's been so long since we last met, don't you miss me?" Jingyang still smiled.

  But Lele looked at him as if he had suddenly turned into a slobbering wolf, she refused. Jingyang bit her earlobe and said: "If you don't hurry up and move around, your aunt will come again."

  Lele covered her face in embarrassment, how could this guy remember so accurately? Feeling his warm embrace, she knew that tonight she wouldn't be able to sleep well.

  Jingyang carried her upstairs, and it was great to have a world of just the two of them! Jingyang used his foot to close the door, and Lele suddenly felt hopeless. She immediately saw the bathroom and quickly said: "Put me down, I'm going to take a bath!"

  How could Jingyang not know the little abacus in her heart, Lele thought: Hum, I'm going to take a bath, wash for a while, and by the time Jing is asleep, he'll be dead. Based on his appearance of falling asleep in the car at the sanatorium, she was certain that this devil would fall asleep in just 40 minutes.

  Lele rushed into the bathroom and locked the door with three locks. Jingyang smiled and walked into the bathroom in the adjacent room, originally planning to take a bath together, but now he wanted to be a mischievous cat teasing a little mouse, not eager to catch the little mouse Ah Wu, he wanted to tease her well, letting her thoroughly fall into his yin power.

  Lele used her hands to splash the bubbles, oh, it's been a long time since she had such a comfortable bath. She really enjoyed it! She must wash off all the greasy smell on her body. Tonight, being teased by Mom and Jingyang made her really unhappy.

  Jingyang finished his bath and heard her ecstatically cheering in the bathroom, this girl was indeed a child at heart. Jingyang originally wanted to interrogate her thoroughly, but when he saw her for an instant, his anger dissipated, and he immediately forgave her. As long as she appeared, he really didn't care about her unreasonable behavior, let him do whatever she wanted!

  Lele finished her bath and wrapped herself tightly in a towel, pressing her ear against the door, her whole body leaning to listen.
