Chapter 200 - A Morning So Happy
Chapter 200 - A Morning So Happy
The Next Morning.
Zhenyi was sitting in the dining room along with Ming Jia who was cutting apples for her, and Fan Bingbing who seemed like she hadn't had a peaceful sleep for a long time.
Xin Yichen and Long Jie were in the kitchen cooking special handmade breakfast for the ladies, though Long Jie couldn't even lit the stove, still, he was accompanying his father-in-law who insisted on giving cooking classes to him so that he could cook edible for his daughter if she ever craved to eat her husband's handmade meal.
Zhenyi insisted on joining the two men but she was straightforwardly refused by both of them. There was no way they would be letting her enter the kitchen ever. Even when hell freezes over.
However, they were over the moon today as Zhenyi came down by herself and seemed to join them for breakfast. It appeared like God was on their side as Ming Jia popped at their doorstep unannounced but it was more than welcome because Zhenyi was enjoying her company today.
She didn't ignore anybody like she was doing for a while. Instead, she took the initiative to greet them.
"Well done, son." Xin Yichen, who had a high chef cap on his head, patted Long Jie's shoulder in appreciation. It looked like he was mixing batter in a bowl. His batter bowl was about to slip from his hand but Long Jie caught it on time.
Of course, Xin Yichen was not praising him for catching the bowl.
"Thank you, Bá." Long Jie grinned and puffed his chest proudly as if he had won a medal.
He didn't know what to thank for?
His extra sexual energy or the spicy fate.
If he had any idea that he would be able to see such a genuine smile on her face just after a night full of hot and hard sex, he would have used the tactic months ago. However, it would be a lie if he said that he was not deliberately keeping their physical intimacy out of reach for Zhenyi.
He had noticed that Zhenyi usually drank whenever something was on her mind. Alcohol was kind of coping mechanism for her and so was sex. She would use it to shut down herself from the real world and he was not wrong, she truly would.
"She looks genuinely happy today," Xin Yichen said with a smile. "I'm going to make special pancakes for everyone. It's such a joyous occasion."
There couldn't be a happier moment for a father than seeing his children happy and healthy and Xin Yichen was no different.
Xin Yichen went back to the kitchen and also dragged Long Jie with him. He was going to train Long Jie as a chef until they went back to their house.
Thank goodness, at least one of them would be able to cook for their life.

"What are you doing?" Zhenyi frowned as Fan Bingbing took a piece of apple from Zhenyi's plate. As if she hadn't heard her, she started munching on the apple.
"Spill," Zhenyi said with an eye roll. Something was on her assistant slash friend's mind and that was why she was here so early in the morning.
"Huh?" Fan Bingbing funnily glanced at her.
"Come on, tell me what's on your mind. I know something is bothering you," Zhenyi said while chewing.
"Sam and I officially broke up." Fan Bingbing sighed.
The knife in Ming Jia's hand dropped and she looked at Fan Bingbing wide-eyed. How dare he? Ming Jia was seething. The damn brat got such a good girl but he was hell-bent on going after that boy. Let him come back then, she would teach him a harsh lesson.
Zhenyi blinked twice to make sure she heard it right.
"Wait. What? What did I miss?" Aria came, a tea cup in her, another massaging her aching head. She was shocked to hear that Fan Bingbing and Sam broke up. Just when did they decide to get into a relationship?
"Yeah. When did you get into the relationship? Did he said he would rather --"
Before Zhenyi could complete her sentence, Fan Bingbing threw an apple piece at her head.
"Stop salting my wounds. We never came into a relationship. He said that he was going and would never return. So, I should drop all the fantasies that I have woven into my head regarding him. And, I should move on and get a nice man to wed and breed."
"The brat!" Ming Jia cursed.
"Narcissist!" Aria grumbled.
"Thank God!" Zhenyi sighed in her heart.
She had always known that Fan Bingbing's love for Sam would always be unrequited. Although she felt bad for her, kidding. She didn't feel anything but relief. Still, she was relieved that at least now she would move on.
"That's why you're here?" Zhenyi asked Fan Bingbing. Since Zhenyi was not going to the office, Fan Bingbing's workload increased all of a sudden, and it didn't matter how much she tried, she just couldn't get enough time to get to meet her.
Fan Bingbing shook her head. "Do you know Zhang Han?"
"The handsome law protector?" Zhenyi asked. Why would that officer be going after Fan Bingbing?
She recalled that Lu Xinyi accompanied her that day at the club, not Fan Bingbing. Then why?
Aria spit out the tea she was sipping on once she heard the name. She looked at Fan Bingbing and then at Zhenyi as to how both of them knew the man.
But, how Aria knew the man was a mystery to be solved for another time.
