Chapter 188: Time to attract the rat(1)

Tang Xue Mei arranged her suitcase, their two day stay had expired and now it was time for them to go back to country C.

Leia sat in the courtroom quietly, her hands holding her wheelchair handle tightly.

"Ruirui what did you want to tell us?"

Sophia smiled gently, all their children were grown, they barely se them anymore.

The castle felt less lively these days but now Leirui has returned perhaps the castle would become lively again.

"I’m leaving, I’m going back to country C today.."

"What!"

"What!"

Tianze and Sophia stood up, their voice high pitched, she had just retuned for two days now she wanted to go back.

"We refused, you must stay here.."

Leia smiled gently, she loved her parents but she could not always listen to their words.

"I’m leaving, I like my life in country C, I love my job and my friends there. I only came back so you wouldn’t be worried.."

Sophia eyes lowered, if their children wanted to leave what could they do. Didn’t they want to be around them anymore?

"You don’t love us anymore, you and your brothers barely come to see us. Qiangyu only came to visit twice last year, we didn’t even see Zhenyu and the others last year. We don’t stop you guys from doing what you want, so why do you run away from us.."

Sophia wiped her tears, they didn’t restrict or stifle them so why were they always running away.

"Don’t cry Soph, 11 unfilial kids..tsk!"

Leia rubbed her hands uncomfortably, she didn’t want her parents to feel sad but she also didn’t want to live here with them.

"I promise to visit every 3 months and call often too.."

"What about Mu Rongxin and..."

"Dad..enough with Mu Rongxin, if he really wants to court me he knows where to find me. I’m not running away.."

Tianze sat down and sighed, these kids they all wanted to leave and only appeared when they wanted to.

"Alright, alright, have it your way.."

Tianze waved his hands telling Leia to leave.

"I love you guys, I promise to come home often and I’ll make to get brother Qiangyu and the others to come home too.."

Tang Xue Mei sat in the back with Leia, her posture relaxed. "I can’t believe our trip is already over," Xue Mei said, a hint of wistfulness in her voice.

Leia, seated beside her, nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. We’ve experienced so much during our stay in country E. I will miss it.."

As they pulled up to the terminal, the driver smoothly parked the car. An Yu quickly exited, surveying the area before opening the door for Xue Mei and Leia.

"All clear," An Yu said professionally, helping Tang Xue Mei out of the car first, then Leia and placed her in her wheelchair.

Tang Xue Mei nodded, but paused for a moment, looking back at the city skyline. "We’ve had quite the adventure, haven’t we?" she mused.

"Yeah we have.."An Yu agreed, allowing a small smile to soften his usually stern expression. "But we have to go to country C."

"I definitely did not miss these seats, my leg hurts.."

Tang Xue Mei chuckled slightly and patted Leia gently.

"Hang in there Leia, we’ll be home too.."

"Welcome back, young madam, young miss and An Yu!" Auntie Gu exclaimed, hurrying over to help Tang Xue Mei with her coat. "I’m so glad you’re home safe and sound."

Tang Xue Mei smiled, feeling a bit tired but grateful to be back in a comfortable place. She settled onto the couch, her belly weighed more making her feel a bit more exhausted than usual.

Leia, seated in her wheelchair, grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Auntie Gu, we had the most amazing time in country E. We saw so many incredible things and the food there is to die for."

Auntie Gu’s eyes lit up with interest. "Oh, tell me all about it, young miss! I want to hear everything. Did you get to meet your parents?."

"Yes, I got to meet all my brothers too.."

Auntie Gu smiled, it would be nice to have many older brothers. She would always have someone to protect her.

Over steaming cups of tea, Tang Xue Mei and Leia told Auntie the stories of their adventures, from the museum to the cliff side. Auntie Gu listened with a warm smile, asking questions and making thoughtful comments.

As they chatted, Auntie Gu made sure to keep Tang Xue Mei’s feet elevated and brought her a pillow to support her back, knowing that she needed to take it easy during her pregnancy. She also made sure to bring Leia a cold compress for her broken leg, which was still swollen and sore.

After a while, Auntie Gu suggested, "Why don’t I get started on dinner? I’ve made some of your favorite dishes, young madam . And Leia, I’ll make sure to bring you a tray so you can eat comfortably in your wheelchair."

Tang Xue Mei’s stomach growled in anticipation. "That sounds amazing, Auntie Gu. I’m starving!"

Leia nodded in agreement, grateful for Auntie Gu’s thoughtfulness. "Yes, thank you, Auntie Gu. You’re always so considerate of our needs."

Auntie Gu beamed with pride, hurrying off to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

"An Yu can you go pick up the extra guards? I’ll be calling Yang Dakie so she can start the job tomorrow..."

"You really want to bring her here?"

Tang Xue Mei eyes darkened, best way to lure a rat out is to attract it with what it likes.

"Yeah..let’s play the game of cat and mouse and see what she wants.."

Leia blinked, what were they talking about? Were they getting a new maid?

"Do you think it’s necessary to jeopardize your safety? What if her motive is your babies?"

Leia tapped the handle, if not whatelse could that person want.

"That’s a possibility..."

Tang Xue Mei stroked her chin and but there were also other possibilities.

"Let’s wait and see.."

**************************

"Good job everyone, let’s call it day. Orders from miss Tang, the left overs should be packaged and shared among the workers..."

Song Jia smiled, the boss sure was very kind. They hadn’t seen her in a while, she bet her belly must have grown.

She let hair down and grabbed her bag, she still had time to get to the station and take the train home.

"Heading home?"

Ming Beicheng appeared behind her making her freese slightly.

"Ah yes, do you need anything?.."

She mustered a awkward smile as Ming Beicheng took a step back.

"Yes, would you like to have dinner with me? I know a nice restaurant.."

Ming Beicheng smiled as Song Jia face reddened, whenever she was around Ming Beicheng she felt breathless and always forgot her words.

"Y-yes I would love that, I liked the restaurant we went to the last time.."

Ming Beicheng stretched his hand, Song Jia took a deep breath as she placed her hand on his.

They went on a date at least once a week, sometimes he ended up in her house. They hadn’t slept together yet but sometimes she wondered what Ming Beicheng wanted from her.

We’re they ever going to be in a proper relationship.

Song Jia head lowered, she hasn’t almost gotten married during her last relationship, she wanted to know Ming Beicheng’s thoughts or was he planning on leading her on forever?

Her hands around his tightened, he always showed her care and kindness, she had fallen in love with him during his scuffle with her ex. It’s been months since that happened.

She felt he liked her too, she just didn’t know much.

"You’re overthink again..."

Ming Beicheng raised her chin, so she could look at him in the eyes. He could guess the kind of thoughts that were running through mind right now.

"I’m not.."

She muttered wanting to pull her hand away but Ming Beicheng’s hold tightened.

"Is there something you want to say or rather ask?"

Ming Beicheng grinned making Song Jia annoyed, he always had that grin on his whenever he wanted to say something that would hurt her.

"Why do you keep leading me on!"

Ming Beicheng smiled and brought her hand to his lips, giving her a soft kiss.

"Maybe I should make my intentions clearer..."

Ming Beicheng wrapped his hands around her waist and sealed her next words with a kiss.

"Silly thing, if I should lead you anywhere...then it’s to my bed.."
