Chapter 654: Safe return
After the initial excitement calmed down, and everyone had hugged those they desired to embrace, they moved to the dining room in one of the lounges with a private kitchen where the old madam was cooking for them. Chi Lian could smell the tantalizing aroma of food which teased her stomach and beckoned her to go in search of the old madam so that she could take a peek.
"Grandma," she called, in a coquettish voice as soon as she stepped into the kitchen.
The old madam spun around with a broad smile on her face and immediately opened her arms wide. "Baby,"
"Grandmother!!" She said again, lowering her voice and sounding even more coquettish and child like as she launched herself gently into the old madam’s arms.
"I was so worried about you, how could you go to such a dangerous place? Do you know how worried I have been? I will never allow you to do this again."
"Tell her, she did not even listen to me. I begged and pleaded but she ignored my words." Mama Chi walked into the kitchen and added her own complaint to the old madam’s. "I don’t know when she became this stubborn and disobedient."
"Our baby is not disobedient, she is just overly righteous." The old madam defended Chi Lian.
"And she has a savior complex." Rize had been on mama Chi’s heels and she added her own opinion. "She always has to be the savior, always___"
"No, not always." Chi Lian mumbled from where her head was buried in the old madam neck.
"Princess, stop defaming our baby." The old madam rubbed Chi Lian’s back comfortingly. "Good job and thank you for coming back to us alive without any injury. I would have killed those boys if it was anything less."
"Mmm, I knew you were rooting for me grandmother. You are the only one who is always on my side."
