Meili sighed and helplessly shook her head. "I don't know, I always feel like Guiren had to leave his family for my sake. It makes me feel guilty too."

"And that is why you have to treat Guiren in the best way you can Mei and you are already doing that." Placing her hand on Meli's shoulder, Ning added, "You are all that he has Mei and he counts on you for everything. Do you think Guiren would feel nice if he finds out that you are actually guilty and worried over something? He felt everything for you without thinking about anything and why? Only because he loves you." ??

"Ning is right, I have actually witnessed how crazy he is about you. I mean Ning wasn't there when he was courting you but I was. And I don't really see the need to feel sad or guilty. They actually refused to accept you even after you and Guiren got married. So in a situation like that, what were you expecting him to do? You wanted him to shrug you off and join his family?" When Meili shook her head, Nuying added, "You see? He did exactly what you wanted and that was the right thing too."

"Stop overthinking okay? Everything is going to be fine. Hey, why don't we go to Bruce's store tomorrow and buy something nice and treat our husbands?" Ning suggested.

"You are still on your period Ning."

"Ahhh just a couple of days more then I'll be free to treat Yichan too but at least you and sister Suyan can treat your husbands." Ning added.

"Well, I think we have one more person who can treat her-" turning towards Nuying, Meili asked, "Hey Nu, who is Muchan? Boyfriend?"

Nuying widened her eyes in shock and pursed her lips. "I don't know."

"What do you mean by you don't know?" Ning asked.

"You should know who he is and besides, you aren't planning to rob him and run away again right?" Meili asked.

Nuying frowned and groaned in frustration. "Ahh you two are such bullies."

Ning chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll go and call Bruce. We have to make sure that he is in the store tomorrow."

"What can we do while you are on the phone?" Meili asked.

"Help me wash the vegetables for the salad." Ning instructed before walking out of the kitchen.

....

Mo base.

Glancing at the mirror, Linhou swirled around and grinned.

Caressing his chin, Linhou smirked, "Oh hello handsome, how do you do?"

"Pffffff you gotta be kidding me dude, what the fuck was that?" Jason asked.

"Just admiring my handsome face, why? Are you jealous?" Linhou asked.

Adjusting his glasses, Jason fixed his hair and chuckled, "Handsome? Who said that you are handsome?"

"You know what dude, sometimes I feel like I have some kind of noble blood flowing within me. I mean just look at me, how can I be so handsome?" Linhou asked.

Adjusting his hoodie, Jason chuckled. "Yes yes, sometimes I feel like you are the king of England."

"Hmm, even I feel the same way man." Linhou added.

Jason sighed and helplessly shook his head. Though he was already used to the way Linhou flaunted and praised himself, Jason still couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

Wrapping his arms around Jason's neck, Linhou grinned. "Okay now don't be jealous of my handsome looks, I am sure that one day you will become charming too. The thing is Jason, you are still a kid so-"

Slapping his hand away, Jason frowned. "We are of the same age. What kid?"

"Jason my dear friend, you are still young and naive. There are many things that you need to learn from the handsome man here."

Looking around, Jason asked, "Who?"

Pointing towards himself, Linhou added, "Me."

Jason rolled his eyes and dashed out of the room leaving the self obsessed Linhou behind.

....

Yichan and Nings place.

"Invited us to his show? Where did that come from?" Meili asked.

"It's fashion week tomorrow and it's Bruce's show so he wants us to come and support him. He said that he will give us a piece of his exclusive lingerie collection for free." Ning said.

Nuying widened her eyes in shocked and asked, "Free? Damn Bruce has become more generous."

"I know right? Anyway, I already told him that four of us are coming tomorrow so don't be late. Ahh I'll go and start cooking now." Walking towards the kitchen, Ning gestured her friends to help her out.

"What is there for dessert?" Nuying asked.

"Yi is making strawberry pudding."

Nuying chuckled and helplessly shook her head. "You are kidding right?"

When Ning shook her head, Meili asked, "So there is nothing else for dessert?"

"No, hey are you people doubting my husband's cooking skills?" Ning asked.

"Doubting? Your husband doesn't have any cooking skills at all. I still get nightmares over the steak that he forcefully fed us with." Meili would never forget the time when Yichan called them over for dinner saying that he would cook and the food was a clear disaster. Not only was the steak raw but also sticky. The rice was half cooked and his dessert was a pure disaster.

"That was different okay? Now he has improved." Ning had no idea how bad Yichan's cooking skills were but how could she let others backlash her husband? So she decided to blindly defend him.

"We will see that."

....

A couple of hours later.

"Fashion show? Tomorrow?" Suyan asked.

Ning nodded her head and said, "Yes and you will have to come with us."

When Suyan hesitated for a while, Ning frowned. "You can shrug this off sister Suyan."

"Hmm, let me ask Bojing first and-"

"Ask me what?" Bojing asked.

"Ahh brother Bojing, we want to take sister Suyan somewhere tomorrow but she is saying that she needs to take your permission first." Ning said.

Wrapping his arms around Suyan's shoulder, Bojing asked, "Have I ever stopped her from doing anything?"
