Chapter 34: The precious cabbage
Chi Wei, like a mother hen protecting her chicks refused to leave the room unless Jun Muyang went ahead of him. The two individuals glared at each other like bulls in a ring and none was ready to give the opponent the upper hand.
"Aiyooo....elder brother, will you stop embarrassing me." Chi Lian pushed him out of the room.
Chi Wei stared at her like she had just betrayed him in the biggest way possible. All he wanted to do was protect her, why wouldn’t she let him? It was his God given right as the elder brother.
Nervously, she asked, "Uhm...are you staying for dinner, I think my mother has set a place for you."
"I will stay." Jun Muyang picked up his coat and followed her out of the bedroom.
It had become norm in the house for mama Chi to feed Mei-Mei during dinner. However, like mother like daughter, for the love of Jun Muyang, Mei-Mei rejected mama Chi and cried to be carried and fed by Jun Muyang who she called ’papa’ the whole night.
Mama Chi and Chi Wei wore the same betrayed expression at the dining table that night.
Every once in a while, Chi Lian would steal glances at him and blush.
She also spent most of her time picking food for him because he was feeding Mei-Mei.
"Aaahhh.. young love." the ignorant Chi Zimo said loudly, earning himself hostile glares from Papa Chi and Chi Wei.
After eating, Chi Lian walked him out under the hesitant and watchful eye of the men in her family.
