Ceo And His Empress.. - Volume 2 Chapter 243 240. Go Back..
Meilin heard him and looked to the side, only to see him poking out his head from the back with his mouth wide open, waiting to be fed.
Meilin saw that sharp jaw and those beautiful lips that have been playing with her for a whole day now and couldn’t help but feel a little thirsty… She really didn’t want to have such thoughts, but let’s just blame their raging hormones for it.
Anyway, she didn’t mind letting him drink it.
There were three things that Meilin would never go wrong with;
A. Loving him, of course, then
B. her business foresight and
C. her cooking skills; the last two of which were a matter of her pride, you see, she had given a huge part of her life to polish and hone these skills and so, she was the most confident about them after her heart to love him!
As expected, ZiXuan who had supposedly vowed to become the taste tester from now on swiftly gulped it down and “hmmed” with relish…
“It’s soooo good! I really missed your cooking, Linlin”, he was back to call her by the usual pet name he gave her.
Meilin didn’t know if she should be happy or not… she was used to him calling her ‘Linlin’, but she really liked it when he called her ‘my love‘ as well…
Never even in her strangest dreams did she thought that she will be put in a dilemma because of how he called her…
She had really changed a bit from how she was before she met him, she thought.
ZiXuan remained oblivious to this as he had found himself in a weird crossroad himself, but thinking about it, he rather tell her than overthink it without reaching an end;
“Linlin, I can’t cook!”, he solemnly confessed.
“hmmm…. Why do you need to do it? I’m always here”, it was an answer at a subconscious level and even if she thought about it, the answer would still be similar.
ZiXuan got his answer and grinned, “I’m clumsy there but I will help you with the dishes and also help you check the taste and also cut and wash the vegetables and… and…?”, he just wanted to tell her that she did not need to take care of everythig herself.
Meilin understood it and on a rare occurrence, laughed a little before reaching out to touch his face, “hmm…. got it. I’ll teach you to the best of my abilities and so, I’ll be in your care from now on, Xuan– Husband.”
ZiXuan heard her say the first half and answered almost instantly, ” Yes, please take care of me as well, my—“, grasping the keywords, his eyes widened and he gave her an incredulous look.
“Wait! Wait! What did you call me just now?”, he almost thought that he was having an auditory hallucination, but Meilin was still in his arms and the aftertaste of that delicious soup still lingered inside his mouth… he knew this was reality!!
Meilin didn’t reply to him as she usually did in a second, even she gets embarrassed sometimes, alright?!!
“Linlin… baby girl. My love… call me that once again… please. Please, my little wifey~ Come on…. one more time…. na..na…”, he never thought that she will actually call him ‘husband’, at least not this soon. Why didn’t he know that his love could act this fast? Just what have they been doing all this while then?
‘AHHHHHHH! This is so frustrating. I should have recorded it just now! It’s was such a rare thing!! Ahhhhh. Stupid ME!!’, he was really annoyed that he missed the chance to record it. Meilin was really not one to use pet terms to refer to him, even getting her to call him ‘Xuanxuan’ was a job well done for him and so, he didn’t know when he will hear her call him like this.
But contrary to his thoughts, Meilin was not that shy, it was just that it was really out of her character to do so and hence, she got a little embarrassed… but as a great person has said, only the first time is difficult, if you cross that it didn’t matter, you can do it for ten times or twenty times…
So, when she saw his crestfallen expression with a pleading tone, she initiated a kiss from herself for the first time…
ZiXuan froze when he felt those cold but extremely soft petals on his cheek and then grinned seductively after hearing her whisper to him, “Husband…”
‘aish… She is really my beginning and end….’
….
The two of them shared a scrumptious breakfast together before finally starting the day’s work.
They will need to go back by the end of this week, though she said that she will take a break, she can’t leave them like that for more than a week, she needed everything to be done under her eyes, after taking over as the proxy of her grandfather, she had become even stricter.
The first few days of the week was inevitable with her losing her memories, but now she couldn’t relax. ZiXuan was already with her and she could finally relax on his matter.
She had thought about going back to the country alone as ZiXuan would need some time to handle that gang here, but in the end, chose to stay… let her be selfish for a few more days… she didn’t want to be away from him for too long, it was just going to induce some sort of trauma again, even though they were together now when she thought about those days when she was all alone… she would still wake up from her sleep with a cold sweat.
She wanted to make sure of his presence for a while longer.
On that matter, ZiXuan had similar thoughts.
….
Moving on to other issues, like the ownership of the gang, they had actually talked about it and according to her, she was intending to give it to him in the first place, though she hadn’t come clean with him about WPJ, she was still too busy to take care of so many things plus, he had worked hard towards this and was the rightful head, but of course, if he needed any help, she will give him all her support.
On that note, she also recommended him to one of her juniors here, she was two years younger than them but was already taking care of her family business on both the light and dark ends here, she had a peculiar personality but when it came to business, she could stand on equal footing with her!
Her name was Ji ChunHua and she was actually even more aware of the business circle here compared to her as the Qin didn’t enter this country other than a small enterprise because of ZiXuan’s grandparents’ company; anyway, she was also better than her when it came to painting business on the dark end to light.
ZiXuan rarely heard her praise someone and that too someone who he didn’t know and had mixed feelings, part of it was curiosity and the other half was jealousy, though he won’t say it out loud.
But as recommended by her, they actually talked with her and in the end, these two found a similar footing with their respect for Meilin and other similar traits; after she promised to help them out with Meilin helping her with her own company dedicated to artists, ZiXuan was happy to get himself a little sister, well, they were basically siblings bonded over the Meilin-cult, two die-hard fans!
Anyway, with this matter closed, they could finally go back to their country!
….
The two were sitting on their first-class seats and were on their way back, after spending an excruciating first week and a busy second week in his homeland, ZiXuan was quite excited to the place which had long turned into his home.
As he thought long and hard about many things that he will need to answer to their family along with getting their blessings for a long and happy marriage, he was feeling a little giddy.
On that note, it wasn’t long before he heard about their Uncle Feng from her so, their first stop after landing will be his resting place.
He played a vital role in their life and he really didn’t know what to feel in this situation, he also hated himself for leaving Meilin to fend for herself in that situation and also felt guilty when he thought how their grandparents must be feeling after his sudden demise and how he was not there to support them.
But what had already passed by couldn’t be changed so, for now, all he could do was pray for his peaceful eternal sleep and at the same time, he will have to make sure to protect his family in his stead from now on, together with Meilin.
In these times, they needed to stay together and support each other.
If she hadn’t lost her memory, considering her position, it would have taken even longer for them to accept the other… he wondered if it was his final blessing fo them; thinking as so, he couldn’t help but smile… their ‘uncle Feng’ has done enough, he should really just rest now…
‘…after all’, He clasped his hand with hers and thought, ‘We are together now… ‘
