CHAPTER 574

By the time they finished with their quick morning session, the two of them set out of the house.

On getting to his mother's house, Ye Cheng rang the doorbell and waited for the door to be answered.

He looked to his side at Li Jing while tightening his grip on her hand a bit and entwining their fingers.

"Ready for this, baby?"

"Yes, love. I can't wait in fact." Using her free hand, she pressed on his arms and rested her head on his shoulder while they waited.

A couple of seconds later, they heard the sound of footsteps rushing in their direction and stood straight.

As soon as the doors opened, it revealed a young lady, dressed in a knee-length white gown with collars and pockets and a small white apron with flowery designs, atop of it. She looked younger than Li Jing and had lovely skin and appearance.

"Hello," she greeted. "Good morning. How may I help you?"

"I am Ye Chengand this is my wife. Your ma…"

"Oh, yes. Madam is expecting you. Come in please." She paved the way for them to enter and smiled at them. "This way please."

"Thanks." They allowed her passage so as to direct them inside.

Unlike her other houses, Li An chose to get a new one, one where her ex-husband, Ye Sheng would not have access to easily and she could go about her business. So this was the first time Ye Cheng was entering it.

He took his time accessing every decoration and comparing it to the others. Just like the others, she did not like too much decoration and kept everything simple in her dashing creative taste.

No longer after, they arrived at the living room and was graced by the lovely cream coloured couch, followed by her matching rug and wallpaper.

Everything in itself spelt simplicity yet exuded the class with it.

"Please do have your sit. I think she would be down any minute," the maid voiced out from behind them, pulling back from their thoughts.

"Thank you very much."

"There they are. I was almost beginning to wonder if you two would show up again," Li An said as she moved down the stairs.

She wore a simple white gown with a lotus flower design on the chest and matching white palm slippers.

"Please do have your sits," Li An called out again, hurriedly making her way downstairs.

"Ma, please be careful. You could have fallen just now," Ye Cheng scolded.

"Oh please. I am not a toddler, Michael. I am an adult."

"You are not young either, so try and calm down," he reminded her.

"I wouldn't be in this situation if you had come on time. But what did you do? You came late. Its been two hours since you called, Michael."

Both Li Jing and Ye Cheng turned to look at each other before looking back at her after communicating with their eyes.

"What?"

"Huh?" Li Jing was speechless.

"It is nothing ma. Nothing."

"Sigh, I know you two are young couples and you want to have each other so much but you shouldn't keep an elderly waiting. I bet Michael was being naughty, wasn't he? It is either that or he went to work which I clearly doubt."

"Mother."

"I did not ask you but my precious daughter-in-law. So, tell me, my son was naughty right?"

"Well…"

"Well, baby are you seriously thinking before you answer that?"

"Hey, do not attack me, what do you want me to say? Yes, he was naughty."

"Of course not. I wasn't naughty."

"You were," Li Jing fired back at him then turned and folded her arms. "You were the naughty one that was why we were late."

He smiled sheepishly at his mother then moved in close to her ear and whispered. "I wasn't the one who was screaming more, more, give me more, make me come, now, was I?"

Hearing him say such shameless words, Li Jing instantly turned beet red and covered her face.

"Nor was I the one, that kept bouncing on me and wanting me to go harder and give you more. I can continue if you want to. I was being naughty for heeding my wife's want, yes, then bring it on, I can become even naughtier but only if she admits that she was the naughty one leading me on."

"Hey. You lead me on. You didn't come on time," Li Jing whispered back.

"Hey, not my fault I got great stamina."

"Urgh! You are impossicantly proud, aren't you?"

"Always baby, because I am glad I can satisfy my wife."

"Ahem!"

It was not until she cleared her throat that the two of them realized they were no longer alone and smiled at her.

"I see you two are enjoying the marital life very well. I used to be like that those days. Your father and I, I mean."

Ye Cheng stopped sticking out his tongue to li Jig and looked at his mother. She looked sad recalling her old days.

It was something she loved. Someone actually. It was an experience what living for but then things changed and she noticed it but then she was going through so much and it affected her marriage.

"Sigh, I guess I was not there enough for him, neither was his love patient enough to wait for me. It is all my fault that you grew up in a broken home and it is my fault that my marriage did not last."

Immediately her eyes had begun to water and that brought an ache to Li Jing and Ye Cheng's heart. They looked at each other and then at her. Quickly they took steps forwards to go hold and assist her as they brought her to one of tthe cushions to sit on.

"Mother."

"I am sorry, Michael. This shouldn't be a sad tale."

"But it is and I completely understand. Just relax, let me get you water. Do not talk about it anymore."

"Nah, it is fine. You are my guests today. I need to be strong and give you your nice treat.. Give me two minutes, I would be back."
