Chapter 321 – A surprise invitation

The next day.

Morning, at 8 am.

Dong Xuebing woke up on the sofa and saw Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian were already up.

Yu Qianqian sat on a chair, resting her chin on her hand, looking at Dong Xuebing. She should have been sitting there for ages waiting for Dong Xuebing to wake up. “Bro… Uncle! You woke up! What time are we going out?”

Yu Meixia, who was tying her hair in the bathroom, grumbled. “Let your Uncle sleep a while more.”

“Oh…” Yu Qianqian suppressed her excitement and said. “Uncle, go back to sleep.”

Dong Xuebing laughed and sat up. “I am not sleeping anymore. Let’s go out after breakfast. Hahaha…”

Yu Qianqian cheered up and ran over to bring Dong Xuebing’s clothes to him.

“Look at you. You are so anxious. Alright… alright… I will get ready now.” Dong Xuebing pinched Yu Qianqian’s nose lightly.

Yu Meixia laughed helplessly. “Xiao Bing, go and wash up. I will go out to throw the trash and will prepare breakfast when I return.”

“I will go!” Yu Qianqian shouted excitedly. “Mum, hurry up and prepare breakfast!”

Yu Meixia looks at her daughter. “What’s the rush?” She took out the trash from the bathroom and walks out. “I will return soon. Go and help your Uncle charge his shaver.” Yu Meixia dares not let her daughter takes out the trash as there is evidence of what she did with Dong Xuebing inside. As she was tying up the trash bag, she saw they had used eight condoms, and she blushed.

After breakfast, Yu Qianqian pulled Dong Xuebing and Yu Meixia’s hands down the stairs excitedly.

The three of them walks around Beijing’s streets in the morning, and they brought Qianqian to Xiangshan Park.

On the way home, Yu Qianqian is dead tired but still excited.

Yu Meixia patted her daughter’s head. “Did you have enough fun?”

“Yes!” Yu Qianqian nodded. “Mum, are we going back to the County soon?”

“Yes… it’s time to return.”

Dong Xuebing looks at them from the rearview mirror. “I will bring you to Beijing on your next school break. We will visit the rest of the attractions then.”

Yu Qianqian cheered. “Thank you, Uncle!”

Dong Xuebing looks at his watch. It’s 3 pm.

Dong Xuebing had been away from the County for some days and had brought the mother and daughter around Beijing these two days. It’s time for them to return to Yan Tai County. So, after they returned to North Heping Road, they discussed and will return to the County after dinner. Yan Tai County is only two hours’ drive away from Beijing. They have some time before dinner, and they started packing before going to the supermarket to get some local products to bring back.

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.

After paying at the cashier, Dong Xuebing looked at his phone and signaled to the mother and daughter to keep quiet.

Yu Meixia went over to help him carry the local products.

“Hello, Sister Xie.” Dong Xuebing answered.

Xie Huilan asked. “Are you back in the County?”

“I am going back at night and should reach the County before midnight.” Dong Xuebing thought Xie Huilan was blaming him for skipping work.

Xie Huilan laughed and said. “Since you are not back yet, wait for me in Beijing.”

“Huh? What did you say?” Dong Xuebing was surprised.

“I am on my way to Beijing. We will return together tomorrow.”

Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “… you are coming to Beijing? For work?”

“You can say so.” Dong Xuebing can hear sounds of passing cars, and Xie Huilan seems to be on the highway. “It’s almost six months since I returned home, and I am free these two days. So, I decided to return home to celebrate an early Lunar New Year. I will be too busy during Lunar New Year and will not have time to visit my family.” She paused for a second and continued. “Yes, I will reach my grandfather’s place at about 6 pm, and you should arrive there at about the same time, ok?”

Dong Xuebing cleared his throat. “Err… I have to go too?”

“Haha, is there any problem?”

“Is it really fine for me to go?”

Xie Huilan laughed. “My mum asked you to go. You can decide.”

Mdm. Han wants me to go?! Then Dong Xuebing had no choice. “Then… alright. I will be there.”

“Today is considered an early reunion, and my Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, and the rest should be there too. A few others from the same generation will also be there. You must watch your manners, and don’t behave like the last time you are at my Grandfather’s house. Try to leave a good impression on them. Oh, do you still have that type of Wild Ginseng you gave to my mother previously? I was in a rush to return and forgot to bring any gifts. If you still have Wild Ginseng, bring one box over, as our gift to my Grandfather.”

“I should still have it. I will bring it along later.”

“Ok. I am driving and will hang up now.”

“Alright. Be careful on the roads.” Dong Xuebing hangs up.

Yu Meixia looks at Dong Xuebing. “Is there any problem? If you are busy, you can just ignore us.”

Dong Xuebing replied apologetically. “Sorry. I can’t return today, as I have a dinner appointment. I should be going back tomorrow. You two…”

Yu Meixia quickly replied. “Then, we will return to the County first.”

Dong Xuebing said. “Ah… Is it alright?”

“It’s fine. You had been accompanying me… us these few days, and I…”

Dong Xuebing wants to return with Sister Yu and Qianqian tomorrow. Still, Xie Huilan wants him to return to the County with her tomorrow. Dong Xuebing is not willing to let both women meet, as he felt guilty towards them. Thus, Dong Xuebing brought Yu Meixia and Qianqian back to get their luggage before sending them to the bus terminal. Along the way, he bought some food for them.”

“We… We are going.” Yu Meixia looks at Dong Xuebing in his eyes for the first time.

Qianqian waved to Dong Xuebing reluctantly. “Bye, Uncle.”

Dong Xuebing smiles. “Why do you all make it sounds like we are parting forever? I will be going back tomorrow and will see you all again.”

Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing gently and nodded.

Dong Xuebing understood her feelings, and he returned a knowing look.

Sister Yu blushed and looks at Dong Xuebing one last time, before walking away with her daughter.

Dong Xuebing watched them until they disappeared from his sight.

Xie Huilan’s mother, Han Jing, had invited Dong Xuebing suddenly, and this caught him off guard. Dong Xuebing is going to Xie Mansion to meet Senior Xie again. Dong Xuebing is not afraid, as he had quarreled with Senior Xie over Xie Huilan’s engagement, and even talked back to him in front of others. This time, they will meet again, and who knows how Senior Xie and the rest of the Xie’s family will treat him?
