All Novel Full Chapter 191 - How Did You Do It?
When Yong Liwei arrived back at his place, he couldn't help but notice the change of atmosphere inside. It felt lighter than how he left it earlier. When he took a step into the living room, he saw the two women sitting beside each other. They were sharing a bowl of popcorn as they watched a movie. It was then that Lu Mengjie noticed his presence.
"Darling, you're back! Welcome home!" She stood up from the sofa and walked towards him just so she could tiptoe and peck his lips. "How was work?"
"Same as usual."
"Welcome back, Mr. Yong!"
He eyed the girl who greeted him cheerfully. She took the TV's remote and turned it off. "Jiejie, I'll start preparing our dinner."
Yong Liwei wasn't surprised to see Wei Sianqi standing on her feet since what surprised him more was the way she addressed his wife. "Seems like you're getting along with her now."
"Of course!"
He returned his gaze at her and sighed helplessly. Lu Mengjie always has her way of charming people. Boys or girls. He should have expected it. "How did you do it?"
She blinked a few times in confusion at the question he asked her so she inquired back, "what do you mean?"
"What kind of magic are you using to charm your way into other people's hearts?"
"Oh…" She paused. The side of her lips turned up into a sweet smile and instead of answering him, she said, "Is it working on you?"
The man stood quiet as he was caught off-guard by her. Not being able to reply to her question, he decided to ignore her and walk away.
Lu Mengjie ended up giggling. "Silence means yes~" She turned to her heels and headed to the kitchen. "Qiqi, let me help you prepare dinner!"
While the girls were busy preparing the ingredients for the food for dinner, Wei Sianqi heard a message notification from her phone so she decided to take a peek.
[Greed added you to Grinders group]
Upon seeing the notification, she felt her heart leap out of her chest. If she was not careful, she would have already dropped her phone on the ground.
"Qiqi, can I add the salt now?" Lu Mengjie asked while stirring the soup they were making. When she heard no response, she finally looked at her only to see her tapping on her phone's screen. "Qiqi?"
"Jiejie! Look! Gege added me to his group chat!" She quickly went to her side and showed her the chat.
[Mr. Macho: Huh? We have a new member? I can't believe it! Bai Xue finally recruited someone for our division!]
[No Coffee No Life: You mean our Leader has finally agreed on adding a member. *drinking coffee sticker*]
[Most Handsome Man: *shocked sticker*]
[ForeverSpeechless: I am speechless!]
[Ordinary Human: Welcome, Little Bunny!]
[Little Bunny (Wei Sianqi): Thank you! *smiling rabbit sticker*]
[Voice of the Voiceless: If you are looking for a missing person, let me know.]
"Ah…" Lu Mengjie chuckled. "Come, let's take a selfie for them."
And so she did. Wei Sianqi took a photo of them together in their aprons. Lu Mengjie was still stirring the soup while she was facing the camera and was posing with a smile on her face. On the other hand, the younger girl hugged her companion with an arm while she stretched out her arm to take the photo.
"Ehehe, we look like sisters!" Wei Sianqi said after she released her from her hug just so she could check the picture. She soon sent it to the group and waited for their reactions.
[Most Handsome Man: OMG!!! You're with our goddess! So lucky!]
[No Coffee No Life: You're cooking?]
[ForeverSpeechless: I am speechless!]
[Greed: The apron looks good on you, Jiejie. *heart sticker*]
[Ordinary Human: There goes his sister-complex again.]
[Little Bunny: How about me? *rabbit with puppy eyes sticker*]
[Greed: Good luck. I hope you'll survive tonight's dinner.]
[Most Handsome Man: Our goddess' food will never fail to send you to heaven! You're so lucky!]
"Qiqi! Help!"
Wei Sianqi's attention was stolen by Lu Mengjie's cry. She finally lowered her phone on the counter. "What's wro…" she paused and saw the soup turn dark brown.
"I think I might have added too much soy sauce?"
…
After taking his bath, Yong Liwei went to the dining room to join the girls for dinner but instead of seeing the food they made together, what he saw was a box of pizza and a bucket of chicken placed on the table.
"This is…"
"Unhealthy, I know," she finished for him. "But it can't be helped. Jiejie accidentally poured too much soy sauce-"
"And salt," Lu Mengjie added.
"Yes and salt to the soup we were making so now it's not edible. This will have to do for tonight."
"It's partly your fault too tho…" The older woman said with a pout forming on her lips. "If you weren't busy with your phone, you could have guided me well."
"It can't be helped. I was distracted by my future husband so you should blame him too," she huffed.
Even if Yong Liwei wanted to skip dinner that night, he was dragged by the two women back to the dining room.
In the middle of the night, Yong Liwei was woken up from the mumbles he heard coming from the woman beside him.
"N...No…" Sweats trickled down her forehead. Frown lines were seen between her brows. She was having a bad dream.
"Mengjie," he called as he grabbed her shoulder. "Lu Mengjie."
She snapped her eyes open and gasped out loud. Her breathing became ragged.
Yong Liwei ran his fingers through her hair to help her calm down. "You had a nightmare." He didn't know what to say and how to comfort her at that moment. He saw how her body trembled because of the dream she had. He sighed inwardly. He could only wipe her sweat and help her sit up.
"Liwei…" She turned her head to look at him. Her eyes were still wide open. "You… kidnapped me?"
