Chapter 73 - YOU'RE SUCH A BIG BABY! (2)

After I opened my door, Meng Bao instantly sprung from the ground and entered my apartment like a scoundrel. That meekness and pitifulness that he showed just now disappeared immediately, which made me clicked my tongue in annoyance. 

'Too obvious ah! You're too obvious!' I yelled in my heart. But I decided to just ignore him and went to the kitchen to prepare a second plate. 

Meng Bao already sat on a chair at the dinner table. His butt was already glued with the chair as I peered at him suspiciously. 

'How come a tired man, who had been sitting out there for hours, still had the vigour to act so excitedly? Did he lie to me? Don't tell me that he went to the minimarket at the first floor to eat, then returned in front of my door to beg.' 

There were plenty of scenarios in my head, but the most ridiculous one was that Meng Bao obviously used his money and power to buy the whole apartment, and then he stayed on the highest floor, probably the most luxurious one, so he could stay near me the entire time.

'Probably going to buy my apartment too. But that's just the wildest thing possible.. I don't think Meng Bao is crazy enough to do something so outrageous, right?' I pondered as I put the plate in front of him. 

Meng Bao looked ecstatic. He took the plate and scooped the rice by himself. I sighed and sat at the opposite chair and waited for him to scoop the rice before taking my portion.

"Meng Bao, I can't cook much. So this is all I got," I said. 

"It's okay, Jie! Everything you cook is definitely the best!" Meng Bao said as he started picking up the stir fried noodle, fried tofu, and the stir fried pork with chive. 

I smiled when I saw him looking so hungry. Maybe he was actually starving. How could I become so apathetic to Meng Bao? Aside from his murderous record, he never showed any of his hostility to me. In fact, Meng Bao acted more like a baby, a big baby. 

I put more meat on his plate and said, "You eat more meat, okay? You said that you've been hungry. You're also younger than me, so you should eat more to grow tall." 

Though it was more like friendly banter because I knew that Meng Bao didn't need to eat more because he was already tall as heck right now. 

Meng Bao was touched by my kind gesture and nodded happily, "Thank you, Jie!" 

I stared at Meng Bao, who ate his dinner happily. Honestly, if I didn't realize his true nature as a mafia boss, I'd still think that he was a cute guy who acted like a baby most of the time.

I mean, how could I not get scared when I found out about his true nature? There were plenty of stories of women who got beaten up or even killed because their husbands were abusive and showed their true nature after getting married. 

I'm afraid that Meng Bao was actually one of those men who hid their real nature to someone they liked, but once they knew better of each other, then it'd be a hellhole for both. 

'I mean, we're not in a novel world. Just because Meng Bao is hot, rich and powerful, doesn't mean that he would be doting me when we got married. Do you think this is some kind of 50 Shades of Grey novel?' I remembered Christian Grey from that novel and imagined Meng Bao replacing his role… Well, I'd have to admit that he fit so well in his true persona.

'Jie, I never said that I'm a nice guy,' Meng Bao said while stripping his clothes and picking a whip from the drawer. 

'But, I—'

'Shh… the next word is yes, sir,' Meng Bao said while he started caressing my thigh. 

'Yes, sir…'

Meng Bao scoffed and then caressed my inner thigh and lifted my hips up for a better view, 'Good, now ass up, baby Jie…'

--

'Okay, in my defence, that sounded better in my imagination. Why did I have to use Jie anyway? That's so weird!'

I imagined some weird stuff until Meng Bao held cupped my hands in his warm palm and asked, "Jie, why don't you eat?"

"Ah, I was just busy staring at you when you eat. You look so cute," I said subconsciously while staring at Meng Bao's face. Then I mumbled the following sentence, 'If only you're single and truthful about yourself…'

"Huh? What did you say, Jie?" Meng Bao asked. It seemed that he didn't hear my second sentence. I shook my head and got up. I wanted to release my hand, but Meng Bao held my hands tightly. 

"Jie, where are you going?" Meng Bao asked with a frown on his face as if he was concerned that I'd disappear.

I rolled my eyes and slapped his hand with my free hand, "I will bring you a drink! Do you think I will run away? This is literally my apartment!" 

"Wu… okay…" Meng Bao released my hands reluctantly, and I went to the kitchen again to bring a glass of cold water for him.

Meng Bao drank the water, and when he saw me still not eating, he commented, "Jie, you should eat too. This is your apartment. I don't want to make it seems like I'm eating alone…"

"I'm not that hungry," I said. 'Especially after seeing you eat so much, that already makes me happier and full.' I thought. 

"Eh…" 

Meng Bao was thinking for a moment, then he took my plate filled with untouched food in front of me and used a new chopstick. He picked up a bit of veggie, a pinch of rice, and a bit of stir fry pork and then said, "Jie, open up, aaaa…"

I stared at Meng bao and chuckled, "Why do you treat me like a baby?"

"Well, I just want you to eat. I know you've been working hard today, so it's better if you eat well too," Meng Bao said. 

Although it felt a bit weird, I finally yielded and opened my mouth. I ate what Meng Bao gave me, and somehow, it tasted even better than I expected. 

'Eh, why does it taste better than usual? Did I suddenly turn into a Masterchef or something?' I pondered. 

Meng Bao continued feeding me until I feel full. 

It was indeed tasted better than I imagined. In fact, I felt like everything tasted better when I ate it with Meng Bao. 

I saw that Meng Bao already ate a lot, but plenty of fried tofu was still untouched. So I picked it with my chopstick and fed Meng Bao, "I know tofu is a cheap food for you, but it is good for your health, it's a good source of protein, so open up."

Meng Bao obediently opened his mouth and ate it. Then he commented after eating, "Jie, everything you cook always tastes ten times better than anything I ate daily."

"Aish, why do you need to flatter my regular cooking? This is just daily food," I said. 

"No, it does taste better, maybe because you're the one who cooks it," Meng Bao grinned happily. Then he added, "If I have to eat your cooking every single day, I'd be the happiest man on earth, Jie…"

"You speak like we're going to marry tomorrow," I chuckled and cleaned the plates at the dinner table. 

"That… I don't mind…" Meng Bao said.

I jolted a bit, froze for a second, and then turned away with plates in my hands. I decided to just ignore that. I refused to comply with any of Meng Bao's sweet talk until he sorted out his own feeling. I am already twenty seven years old, I had no time to play around anymore…

Though, I've never dated anyone in my whole life…

'Wait, doe Mengmeng count? She often said that we're dating and will be Husband and wife in the future, hihi~' 

I went to the kitchen and started washing the plates one by one. Meng Bao only stared at me from the dinner table, and he finally stood.

I thought he was going to leave after he ate, so I said, "Meng Bao, don't forget to close the door after you left, okay?"

"I'm not leaving yet, Jie…" I jolted when I saw him suddenly stood behind me, covering the lamp above us with his tall figure and broad shoulder. 

He gently covered both of my hands in his warm palms, and in this pose, it felt like he was embracing me from behind., just like what he did before when I taught him how to chop vegetables. He then uttered something suspicious, at least for me, this one was totally suspicious,

"I… um… I want to learn how to wash dishes. Would you mind teaching me how?"
