Chapter 154: The pearl and the spare.
"Can you take the handcuffs off first." Mei Mei urged the men that had brought Jingzhe in.
They did so and then apologized for the misunderstanding because they had just received word from their boss that he had not told them to handcuff him. All he said was that he should be found and taken to Mei Mei’s house.
With their job done, they left.
As soon as they left, Mei Mei looked at Mingzhe. "Are you sleeping over or returning to the cave you have been pretending to hide in ever since the dreaded trio moved here? I have been wanting to have a conversation about that by the way."
Mingzhe suddenly realized that he had a mysterious phone silent call which was silent as his phone did not ring. He put the phone to his ear and left the living room, walking in the direction of the kitchen.
"He is definitely sleeping over." She mumbled.
Jingzhe was impatient, he needed answers so he covered the little space between them and put his hands on Mei Mei’s arms. "What happened to Mingzhu?"
Mei Mei’s eyebrows slowly moved up and she scoffed lightly. "Tch! Is Mingzhu the only apple of your eyes? You have not asked me how I am even once and....." She broke off, gasping and covering her mouth.
This answer reminded her of all the times her father would return from work and he would carry her and ask about her day. After they giggled, hugged and exchanged kisses on the cheek, he would finally remember her mother.
