CHAPTER 422 – Breakfast

"I needed to make sure my baby was safe and sound and had eaten."

He truly was a nice man. How many people would go that far for the ones they love? "I do not know what to say?"

"Then don’t say anything," Ye Cheng said.

"I can’t. I want to scold you silly for not eating and starving because of me, but your thoughts about me are just too overwhelming that I cannot find it in my heart to dare do so."

"I love you, babe."

"I love you too."

"I can tell someone is blushing big time," Ye Cheng began. He knew his wife all too well to understand that what he had disclosed to her would make her head want to go gaga.

"Can’t I blush again when my hubby is praising me?" Li Jing asked. She knew he did not have bad things to say but she felt like teasing him as well.

"Of course you can. You have all the rights to do so, my love. Now, you need to get something to eat."

"As do you," Li Jing said.

"Fine, let’s do this," Ye Cheng began to say with Li Jing paying rapt attention like a child eagerly awaiting her favourite bedtime story. "We would both get up now and move to the kitchen to get something to eat, understood?"

"Understood."

"Good. Now be a good girl and get going. I would call you later before I go to bed. Ensure you rest early and do not ponder too much on the situation on ground. Let your mind be at peace to ensure a better and fresher start to tomorrow. Do not forget, if you rest well, then you would be at your best when you want to tackle issues."

"Noted hon. Thanks."

"Anytime, babe."

By the next morning, everything in the household continued as before with little or no change. Li Jing arose that morning feeling fresher and better than she was yesterday.

It was a good thing that she took the advice Ye Cheng gave her. now she was in a better shape to handle and combat the problem of her family.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

The door pushed open carefully with Kai Alix walking into the room. Behind her was a maid rolling in her breakfast.

"Good morning, young miss. Your breakfast is ready," Alix greeted.

"Good morning ma’am." Li Jing’s eyes roamed over the two maids before landing on the trolley used to bring her food in.

Judging from the delicious aroma coming from that angle, Li Jing could already figure out the nice sumptuous breakfast she was having.

It was just like old times when they served her breakfast on bed. Of course she had missed this treatment and not because in her own household she wasn’t treated that way but because she missed the smile Alix brought with her and the amazing aroma that always came with it.

It was different from the others and she liked it.

"I see young miss is in good spirits this morning. Tell me, why the joy this morning.

"Don’t get me wrong, I am happy you are happy but I am just curious. You seem brighter, a whole lot brighter than yesterday."

"Of course. It is a new day and you are never fully dressed without a smile. Besides, only you can determine how you want your day to be, aunties or no aunties, troubles or no troubles, good health or not. It is all up to you."

"Impressive theory, young miss. I love that. It suits you. Live your life for yourself."

"I will. So, today, I intend to get things back on track and make the best of my stay here. Now," she clapped her hands together with glee. "What’s smelling so nice that I want to pounce on the meal?"

"Hmmm, why not young miss have a look herself?" Li Jing smiled at her response before. Doing her head.

"Great then. In that case, I better get ready to dig in." With that said, she was served her meal and the other maid, retreated back.

At five minutes later, the maid began to fiddle with her fingers. She did not understand why they had to be there during her breakfast and wait for her too.

"With your permission ma," the maid finally voiced out. "I beg to take my leave."

"Why?" Li Jing asked, shocking the maid and Alix with her question.

"Pardon?"

"I believe I was quite clear. Why?" The young maid could not say anything but turned her head to the side to look at Alix. "Remind me if my question is so hard that you search the face of Alix for your answer as though it is written on her face."

"Umm..." She cleared her throat then flashed her best smile to Li Jing

"I am sorry ma, but I am afraid I do not understand you."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, ma."

"Hmm..." A pleasing smile appeared on Li Jing’s face.

In honest truth, there wasn’t anything the maid was doing there.

On a normal day, Li Jing would have dismissed her and probably even Alix so she could think but today she did not. Even with that, she refused the maid from leaving.

One would ask why, which was the exact same thing Alix was tempted to say but stopped herself in time as she saw Li Jing’s smile.

Li Jing on the other hand had noticed something when they entered her room. It was also one of the reasons why she was happy this morning.

The minute she set eyes on the maid, she noticed that the maid trembled a bit.

At first, she ignored it but when she saw the maid always shifting her gaze to the wall clock in the room, she knew something was wrong but remained silent about it until when she spoke.

Which was what Li Jing wanted all along. Since she always checked the time, Li Jing decided to check her patience and she fell for it.

"You may go."
