Chapter 456: Chapter 268: Will You Come Back to the Country with Me? (Part 2)

"Lao Jin." Cui Xiaoling also got up early, carrying a newspaper as she walked over.

She immediately noticed Xiao Meier, very pretty, but with a different style from her own apprentice’s beauty.

"Let me introduce, this is my daughter, Xiao Meier, Xiao Er."

Jin Baogen picked up the tweezers again and offered a bread worm to his fish, "Cui Xiaoling, just call her Aunt Cui."

Although Xiao Meier was suppressing her anger, it was directed at Chen Cheng.

"Aunt Cui."

Cui Xiaoling was instantly called to tune, facing the woman who replaced Meng Wanning, she couldn’t accept it casually, and just nodded indifferently.

"She’s naturally not the smiling type, you’ll get used to it," Jin Baogen smoothed things over.

"Then Daddy, I’ll go and see him first."

"Go ahead, young people love to sleep."

Xiao Meier quickly walked upstairs, while Cui Xiaoling handed the newspaper to Jin Baogen, "Is that her?"

Jin Baogen didn’t deny it, "Yes, Xiao Er, she’s quite good."

"Isn’t Xiao Ning good too?"

"They’re both good," Jin Baogen picked another bread worm, "tsk tsk tsk..."

When Xiao Meier arrived at the guest room, she intended to knock on the door, her hand was raised, but then she put it down and turned the doorknob directly.

A strong smell of alcohol wafted through the air, and upon closer inspection, Chen Cheng was sprawled out on the bed.

"You can’t handle your liquor, yet you drank so much!" Xiao Meier complained as she walked to the side of the bed, her anger dissipated as she saw Chen Cheng hungover, only pity remained.

She sat on the edge of the bed, helping him to cover himself with the blanket.

Chen Cheng wasn’t really asleep, hearing the door open, he was thinking about how to continue the act.

"Wife...?"

"Who is your wife." Xiao Meier was both angry and amused.

"I must be dreaming."

Xiao Meier gave Chen Cheng a pat out of annoyance, and Chen Cheng then rubbed his eyes, pretending to have just woken up, looking at her drowsily,

"How did you get here? Where am I?"

"You don’t even know where you are, how much did you drink?" Xiao Meier put another pillow under Chen Cheng.

Unexpectedly, she was pulled into his arms in a swift move.

"It’s so cold sleeping alone."

"Who asked you not to come home."

Chen Cheng heard the reproach and buried his head in her shoulder, taking a deep breath, "You smell so good~"

"You stink~ reeking of alcohol."

Chen Cheng held Xiao Meier tightly, and she looked towards the door, "Stop it, this isn’t our home."

"No one will come in."

Chen Cheng tightened his arms, "Let me hold you for a while."

"No."

Xiao Meier said that, but she let him hold her.

Her hand wasn’t idle either, rubbing Chen Cheng’s temple, "Does your head hurt?"

"I drank Moutai last night, so no, it doesn’t hurt."

"Moutai is intoxicating too, isn’t it?" Xiao Meier grumbled, "Didn’t you promise me not to drink so much?"

"I was helping Mr. Jin to fend off the drinks, accidentally got carried away."

"I see you’re always carried away."

"With such a great wife, how can I not be happy?"

"Stop messing around," Xiao Meier held Chen Cheng’s hand.

Chen Cheng laughed, "Then let me hold you for a while."

"Aren’t you already doing that?" Xiao Meier’s tone softened.

"It’s cold outside, come under the covers." Chen Cheng suggested, and began to tug Xiao Meier’s hand towards under the covers.

Xiao Meier put up a symbolic struggle, but eventually kicked off her high heels and followed Chen Cheng’s lead, lying down in the bed somewhat reluctantly.

"So soft and warm."

Xiao Meier wriggled, "Just for a while, if you want to sleep go back to sleep. Don’t let Daddy Jin make fun of us."

"How could he make fun of you? He’d be over the moon to have a grandchild soon."

"You’re so slick~!"

Xiao Meier held Chen Cheng’s face, "Next time you’re drunk, you have to come home, promise me, okay?"

"Yes, ma’am!"

Chen Cheng held Xiao Meier tight, smelling the scent of her hair, and finally his hanging heart was at ease.

But he was also clear, domestic issues had temporarily settled, and soon, Mei Xiang was about to arrive.

...

...

Arriving at Narita Airport again, Chen Cheng was by himself.

However, at the immigration exit, Hoshino Mika dressed in a JK outfit had been waiting there early, waving at him.

After smoothly passing through customs, the moment Chen Cheng approached her, Mei Xiang threw herself into his embrace.

"Brother Cheng, you’ve finally come!" Mei Xiang’s voice was muffled against his chest, sounding both coquettish and aggrieved.

"I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to make it to Gunma when the rice was ripe," Chen Cheng said, patting her back, "I broke my promise."

Mei Xiang lifted her head from his embrace, "It’s okay, I’m very happy that you could come."

She sniffed, trying hard not to let her tears fall, then tiptoed and gently kissed Chen Cheng’s chin.

"This is your reward," she said.

Chen Cheng raised his hand, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, "Silly girl, what are you crying for? It’s not like I’m not coming."

"But..." Mei Xiang bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

Chen Cheng understood her thoughts; his current visit to Japan was tightly scheduled, and he wouldn’t be staying long. "I know what you’re thinking,"

he said softly, "Even though the time is short this time, I’ll try to spend more time with you."

Mei Xiang nodded vigorously, then held onto Chen Cheng’s hand tightly, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to have some tasty food!"

Chen Cheng smiled and let her lead him out.

Dragging his suitcase behind her, watching her brisk pace and the ponytail swaying in front, Chen Cheng felt all the fatigue of his journey dissipate.

If not mentioned, you’d never know that Hoshino Mika, who looked like a student, was the president of Xingye Corporation.

And the reason she dressed like this was simply because she wanted to show her most genuine self only to the person beside her.

Exiting the airport and getting into a Mercedes, Chen Cheng, observing her thin dress, joked, "I’ve noticed the girls here seem quite resistant to the cold."

Mei Xiang giggled behind her hand, "We even drink ice water."

"That’s true, but still be careful to keep warm, don’t catch a cold."

"I know~" Mei Xiang leaned on Chen Cheng’s shoulder, her arms wrapped tightly around him, "Brother Cheng, I saw the news about your tea shop on the internet."

"It’s that popular? The news reached all the way here?"

"No, Yu Xinwei posted it on IG, and I followed her." Mei Xiang said admiringly, "You’ve even hired such a big star, so your bubble tea must be delicious, right?"

Chen Cheng seized the moment to suggest, "Then you follow me back home, to try it?"

Mei Xiang visibly hesitated, not expecting Chen Cheng to suddenly bring up this matter.

"Go back with you?" She blinked, her long eyelashes trembling.

Chen Cheng asked with a smile, "What? You don’t want to?"

Mei Xiang shook her head furiously, "But... the company..."

"I know you can’t put your mind at ease, but you also need to take a break once in a while, right? Besides, transport is so convenient now, you can return anytime."

Mei Xiang snuggled closer in Chen Cheng’s embrace, "I’m not ready..."

Chen Cheng understood her concerns, it wasn’t just about the company, there were other things to consider.

"No rush, you still have time before I go back."

"Okay." Mei Xiang lifted her head, "Did you miss me?"

Chen Cheng twirled a strand of hair by her ear around his finger, "What do you think?"

"I don’t know..." Mei Xiang chuckled to herself.

"Thinking about it every day," Chen Cheng hugged her, "I keep thinking, when will little Mei Xiang come to me? I still need to take her to visit the Forbidden City, to climb the Great Wall."

"Really? Is that true?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Chen Cheng laughed freely, "Besides, I never lie to you."

"Then I’ll have to consider it," Mei Xiang pretended to ponder.

Chen Cheng looked at her adorable manner, "Consider what?"

"Where will I stay if I go?"

"My place," Chen Cheng gave the answer straight away, "Sister Xiao Er knows you’re coming, she’s got the room all ready."

"Really? Is that true?"

Chen Cheng nodded, "She said to thank you for the rice you sent last time, she wants to join you for the whole trip."

"Wow! Sister Xiao Er is so nice!" Mei Xiang happily clapped her hands, "What gift should I bring for her? What does she like?"

"No need to worry so much, your presence is enough."

Mei Xiang tilted her head, thinking, "No, I must bring a gift! What about the limited-edition handbag I bought last time? Sister Xiao Er would like that, right?"

"She lacks nothing."

Mei Xiang thought harder, "Then I..."

"You answer me first, are you coming back with me?" Chen Cheng pressed the question.

Mei Xiang nodded in agreement, "Yeah!~"

"That’s my good girl." Chen Cheng smiled in satisfaction.

Mei Xiang’s eyes were full of yearning, "I must have a good time when I go this time."

"Fully enjoy yourself, have a blast," Chen Cheng promised.

Grrrumble~

Mei Xiang smiled, "Brother Cheng, are you hungry?"

"I didn’t eat a bite of the airplane meal, just saving room in my stomach."

"Then I’ll take you to have noodles!"

Chen Cheng blinked, "Noodles?"

"Yes! There’s an old saying, isn’t there? Dumplings when getting on the vehicle, noodles when getting off, I’ll take you to eat tonkotsu ramen~"

Chen Cheng laughed heartily, "Your Chinese skills are getting better and better!"

Mei Xiang proudly tilted her chin, "I specially searched online to learn it! Impressive, right?"

"Impressive, very impressive~"
