CHAPTER 511

With enough details about the people related to Ning Xiaozhi in City Z, Ye Chaoxiang was a more than fifty percent prepared for the journey.

"Just use tomorrow to sort out things in your mind. You need a clear, undisturbed mind to tackle this," Li Fengjin advised.

"Hmm. I should start packing for the journey," Ye Chaoxiang said as he stood up.

"How long will you guys be gone? Any estimates?" Yang Chen inquired.

"At first, I had the intention of wrapping up in a week. After all, Xiaozhi hates her home. And since I don't know how things will go, I can't say. But when I'm coming back, she is coming with me."

~Later that evening~

After dinner, everyone retired to their respective rooms. The day was less productive but they still felt exhausted and the cold made sleep even more enticing.

In Wang Tingxiao and Lisa's room, the new couple had just stepped out of the bathroom after taking a warm bath together.

Lisa quickly put on warm sleepwear as she did not want to expose herself and unborn child to any cold whatsoever. After she did that, Wang Tingxiao also finished wearing his.

He was bout to can back into the bed when she stopped him.

"What do you think you are doing?" She asked with both hands on her waist.

"Uhm, I am about to get into the bed," Wang Tingxiao answered with a confused tone.

Shooting him a glare that obviously meant 'don't you try it', she said "Tingxiao, you are forgetting about your wound. The ointment?"

Wang Tingxiao sighed. "Li, my wound is okay now. Let's just sleep, alright?"

"No can do, sweetheart. Place your butt on the bed and be a good boy by allowing me to dress it."

"Fine," he sighed in resignation.

While Lisa was applying the ointment and place a little bandage on and a plaster, they cuddle under the duvet.

"Li, do you think that I will be a good father to our child?" he suddenly asked.

"You are a good husband and the kids like you. I don't think you will have a problem. Also, everyone will be guiding us so we have nothing to fear," Lisa answered.

"Hmm. That's true. Sigh... Let's sleep. Today was exhausting."

"It was. Good night, my dear husband."

"Good night, my dear wife."

Meanwhile, in Li Fengjin and Bai Renxiang's room, the latter was on a call while the father and son duo were in the bathroom. She had finally been able to reach Jiang Meilin.

"Mum, why did you switch of your phone? I was worried."

"Oh, sweetie. I was in the middle if something and it would be quite rude if I were to start receiving calls," Jiang Meilin answered.

"Hmm. That reminds me, what were you doing all day?" Bai Renxiang asked even if she knew the answer already. She just wanted to hear it from the woman who birthed her.

"Ahem! I went out," Jiang Meilin replied.

"Mum," Bai Renxiang called in a somewhat warning tone.

"Renxiang," Jiang Meilin did same but only sweetly.

"Ugh! Just tell me the truth already. Who did you go out with? And why have you not told me about him yet?" Bai Renxiang rained questions into the phone.

"Sigh... Those three already told you, am I right?" Jiang Meilin sighed as she massaged her forehead.

"Should they have kept it a secret? Besides, I was just with seeing why you did not come. Lisa and Wang Tingxiao got married and they are expecting a baby," Bai Renxiang told her.

"Gasp. Oh, wow! That is one lovely news. How old is it? The pregnancy?" Jiang Meilin asked with an overjoyed smile in her face.

"It's three weeks... Anyway, don't switch the subject to get away with the answers to my question," she quickly said.

"And the one who is talking was the one who brought up a new topic," Jiang Meilin murmured.

"I heard that, mum," Bai Renxiang reminded her. She shook her head and went to sit on her side if the bed with her back facing the bathroom.

"Sigh. Momma told me you went on a date and... and that you are in love with the person you went out with. Is it true?"

"Sweetie, I–"

"The truth. Just tell me the truth, mum. I just want to know what is going with you too," Bai Renxiang interrupted her words.

Jiang Meilin sighed and turned her head to the side. She saw Zhao Fu staring attentively at her and she quickly looked away.

"Ahem! Well, it is the truth. I-I did go out... on a date," she stuttered a little.

"Okay. With whom? Do I perhaps know the person? I heard he is quite intimidating," Bai Renxiang asked as she tucked the side of her hair behind her ears."He... Well, you might not remember but he is thatan I danced with at your wedding. His name is Zhao Fu," she told.

"Oh! I don't quite get the full details if him but I know who it was you danced with... Do you love him, mum? I mean, he did not force you into anything, did he?"

"No. He did not. In fact, he and I were in a relationship when I was still a teenager. But you know what happened, right? I married your father and we lost contact."

"Okay. So, you are just going out with him for old time sake or..."

"It is because I love him. Well, we have been seeing each other for almost a month if bot more than. He treats me well and respects me a lot," Jiang Meilin said in a lower voice as if she did not want the man sitting beside her to hear.

"That's nice. He must love you so much to have been able to still feel the same since all those years. That's really nice," Bai Renxiang smiled.

"Hmm. I'll let you both meet when–"

"Tomorrow."
