Settling
Xue heard the knock on the door and knew that it was Ren that had come home already. She had prepared everything that needed to be prepared and had set the table for the late-night dinner that they were about to have. Xue looked pretty in a tight casual dress that she knew Ren particularly liked and the house was lit with tiny small scented candles that Xue had placed in various corners. The house was warm and it smelled god from the candles and from the meals that Xue Jing had prepared.
She had put Du to bed about an hour earlier and she was so happy about that because she and Ren needed to talk and settle the issue between them. Xue did not want to continue with the way they were. It hurt her and ruined her day every day. So, Xue Jing was elated that Ren was ready to talk now and squash what was disturbing them.
Xue Jing walked to the door and opened it with a smile on her face.
