Little pleasures of life

The next morning was a Friday. Mr. Sheng called Mr. Lee up at the beginning of the day, and cordially invited the family for dinner.

Even though Mr. Sheng did not mention the actual reason for the meeting, Mr. Lee was well aware of the true intention. Mr. Lee was an intelligent man; he did not need anyone to spell it out for him. From the way his daughter did not leave Liang's side through his recovery, he knew what's in store for the future. He humbly accepted the invitation and informed his wife to prepare accordingly.

Jinjing had her breakfast with her parents and asked Mama Lee to drop her to the Sheng mansion. But when the two stepped out of the house, a driver of the Sheng household was already waiting there. The mother daughter duo exchanged a surprised look.

On noticing Jinjing, the driver stepped out of the car and walked up to Jinjing.

"Good morning young madam! young master has asked me to pick you up."

Listening to the way the driver addressed her, Jinjing began to cough out of awkwardness.

'This is definitely that shameless guy's doing…. Wait till I meet him.' Jinjing thought while looking anywhere but at her mother, who was mockingly rubbing her back to easy her coughing. She took it a notch higher by whispering in Jinjing's ears, "hop on young madam, aren't you getting late?"

Totally flushed, Jinjing hurriedly boarded the car and in a low tone said, "I will be home for dinner." Just then, Mama Lee said sarcastically, "don't bother, spend your time with your 'young master' even your father and I will go for a candle lit dinner. But do come home, the two of you are still not married." Without waiting for her daughter to respond, Mama Lee settled in her own car and left for the hospital.

Jinjing signaled for the driver to head to sheng mansion. The entire drive, she thought of ways to tackle Liang.

At the other end, an impatient Liang was limping right at the door, waiting for Jinjing. the moment he spotted the car enter the driveway, he carefully stepped out of the house and gleefully went to greet his beloved. But all his enthusiasm died when he saw a stern faced Jinjing step out of the car. Without even glancing at him, she entered the mansion.

She politely greeted Mrs. Sheng, "good morning aunty." Mrs. Sheng gave her a warm smile before hugging her gently.

"Sit Jinjing. Your uncle spoke to your father and invited them for dinner tomorrow. So tell me what do all of you like to eat, I will get the food prepared accordingly."

Jinjing respectfully replied, "nothing fancy aunty, just our regular dishes. My dad like shrimps a lot though."

"ohh that's nice. Then I will add a few more seafood dishes along with meat and chicken."

All this while a grumpy over grown baby was standing close to Jinjing, craving for her attention.

As soon as Mother Sheng left to instruct the cooks, Liang sat down next to her and said, "why aren't you looking at me? Did I upset you?" Jinjing simply turned her face the other way and started browsing her phone.

Snatching her phone away, Liang pinched her chin tenderly and made her look at him. "love, you need to talk, you cannot stay mute and trouble me…. It was your rule to communicate and not sulk."

She did not want to admit, but he was right this time. Gazing at him, Jinjing let out a sigh and said, "okay fine you are right, I will talk. But you need to control yourself a little. You can't go around asking people to address me as Young madam, when we are still not married, it is too awkward."

Rubbing the back of his neck, Liang apologized, "okay I am sorry, till we don't legally get married no one will address you as Young Madam…. Okay…...WIFEY" Jinjing nodded in reply even before Liang completed his sentence. The last word left her speechless.

Looking at her sullen expression, Liang said dejectedly, "come on, you cannot deprive me of the little pleasures of life. I am already living like a monk, at least let me get some satisfaction by calling you wifey. In fact, you should start addressing me as hubby from now on. You can at least do that much for me in exchange for my celibacy." Jinjing just pouted at his demand.

Just then, the butler guided the detective handling Liang's accident case inside the house.
