52 Tour Of Your New Home

They stayed in each other's embrace offering comfort to the other. Han bing was so grateful that Mai had returned to him even though she had the opportunity to be safer by not being with him. Han bings heart thumped quickly in his chest as he thought about how much Mai had changed his life. He had originally been cold to people to protect himself from there devices. Yet, he couldn't imagine being the same way with Mai.

"Do you want to see the rest of the house and than we can look at the garden?" Han Bing asked Mia who had looked content just sitting against him in the sitting room.

Mai nodded her head in agreement as she stretched while she stood up slightly grimacing at the end of her stretch.

Concern rushed through Han Bing "is there somewhere that hurts? Did anyone do anything to you?"

"Oh yes, someone did do something to me, over and over again. If only I could remember what it was" Mai chuckled as she replied to the concern in Han bIngs voice. Originally she was going to roll her eyes at the question but realized that he was actually being serious.

Han Bing stood there for a second before he realized what she had meant. He could feel his face get hot as he recalled the events from last night. Han Bing was already wound tight with desire for Mai but was attempting to keep it in check. A part of him hoped that it would diminish a little so that he could get some work done but another was delighted by the naughty thoughts that plagued his mind.

"Sorry?" Han bing squeaked out unsure about what to say to her hidden meaning.

"It's fine its fine. Now show me this kitchen so that I can see what I can do with it" Mai said while reaching her hand down to his so he could grasp it while getting up.

"Right this way" Han Bing said as he walked the same way the Zheng Li had gone earlier.

The kitchen was very similar to the others that Mai had seen in the previous manor. The stove was similar with bowls that were part of the from and a place for the fire underneath it. Mai was delighted to find that this one had other appliances if that was what they could be called. Mai however, had no idea what any of them had been for so she could only wait to ask one of the servants later when they were making lunch.

Mai had thought about it the whole time that Han Bing was showing her around; what to make for lunch? They had already eaten a lot of fruits, but Mai was truly missing her own cooking over the course of the week that she had been at her fathers.

Mai thought of every dish that she could think of that would be good for the current celebration of them being together in their own little world. Not only that but she also had to feed about 10 people with whatever she made. Listening to Zeng Li talk about never trying the food made Mai wonder who else had wanted to try some but never got the chance.

"I could make chicken pot pie" Mai mumbled as she walked around the kitchen.

"Pot pie wouldn't be too hard to make, and it would be able to fill all of us" Mai thought to herself. However, she was still hesitating what if they didn't like pot pie? After all it had no rice and they were all very used to eating rice with their meals.

After Mai debated with herself and the best course of action to take with the food, she decided to make sweet crispy chicken. Mai also decided that even if it wouldn't be ready for a couple of days to make kimchi as well so that they could try that.

"Do you want to see anywhere else Mai?" Han Bing called out when a couple of minutes had gone by. He had tried to not rush Mai since she would actually be using the kitchen to cook things instead of most noble ladies that didn't know one end of a kitchen from another.

Han bing wondered if she knew how many items that he had seen along the way here and had purchased in memory of her. He was now glad that he had just decided to get them seeing as they wouldn't just be a reminder of a good time but put to practical use.

"Mmm is there anything else to see?" Mai asked thoughtfully.

"Well there is the study, and where Zheng Lin keeps all the animals though it is a rather long walk from the main house" Han Bing answered her question trying to think of other places where Mai would want to see.

"I believe that Zheng Li said that you already seen Mulan while he was rumbling on this morning. We also brought the cow so we can make that cream again" Han Bing said trying to not think about how delicious it had been on her breast.

Mai blushed from Han Bings comment about the cream thinking about his favorite application of it. "Dammit Han Bing" Mai thought to herself "stop teasing me already!"

"Yes I can't wait to make dessert with it" Mai tried to say as calmly as possible, but even she noticed the low notes of desire in her voice.

"Well I keep hearing about this garden so maybe we should go there to take a look at it" Mai said wanting to get out of the house and away from her naughty thought of the man in front of her.

"Okay let me grab a blanket" Han bing called out as he walked towards a cabinet in the other room "stay there"

"A blanket" Mai thought to herself "as in a picnic blanket? Do they even do that here?" Mais heartbeat raced as she realized that this was going to be the closest thing to a date that they had done that was just the two of them.

Han bing came back into the room holding a rather large light blue blanket. He nodded towards the other hallway as they made there way towards the other end of the house.
