210 Trip

August 18, 20XX (Sunday)

Various Places

Yang sat up on his bed with a frown on his face. He briefly looked at the beautiful sleeping woman on his side before he crawled to kiss her forehead, then her lips, and lowered himself to kiss her neck. Mei Li's eyes opened and wrapped her arms around Yang's neck. She felt him do some damage on her neck with his gentle bites and soft sucking. Mei Li let him do whatever he wanted because it would be a while before they wake up beside each other again.

"Will you miss me?" Yang pulled away to stare at Mei Li's eyes.

Mei Li was tempted to tease him, but Yang's serious face looked too much like it was begging her to stay. She moved her head away from the pillow and pecked the corner of his lips, "I already miss you."

Yang's eyes softened as he borrowed his face into her breast and murmured, "Can you not leave? Ling Ling, Chang, and I will miss you."

Mei Li ran both her hands in Yang's soft hair and sighed at the thoughts of leaving the two kids. She had explained to the two of them that their adoption might take a while to be finished. When Mei Li had told them that she would be out of the country for a while, and they can only contact her directly through the phone that they gave the matron for them to use. The kids were understanding and had once again made Mei Li's heart cave out when Chang had told them, "We can wait a few months. We've waited for years; a few months is easy."

The two reluctantly got out of bed to get ready for Mei Li's trip. After they were done, Mei Li had to recheck her needed documents as Yang had her large green suitcase delivered down by the guards. Mei Li was arranging her handbag when Yang's arms hugged her from behind; Mei Li stopped all she was doing and leaned the back of her head into his chest.

Yang kissed her cheeks and murmured in her right ears, "I miss you, already. Don't go?"

"It is just a month. Before you know it, I will be back and ranting at you to eat your vegetables." Mei Li turned to face Yang and slowly placed her hands around his neck. She tiptoed as Yang leaned down to kiss her. Her lips were slowly pried open by his tongue as their kiss grew intense. Yang's hands began to roam around her. Mei Li opened her mouth wide and then bit Yang's lower lips, strong enough to tear the skin.

Yang took a step back; he wiped his lips when he felt the blood ooze. He looked at his grinning fiancee with shocked eyes. Mei Li kissed the corner of his lips before wiping his lips with a tissue in the side table. She softly whispered, "Hopefully, that would remind women that you have an owner."

Yang snorted, "An owner? What am I a dog?"

Mei Li sneered and licked her lips. She trailed circles above his belt and purred like a cat, "Will you not bark if I asked you to bark."

Yang touched his nose because if he didn't, he would have barked. She has learned to use her feminine charms with him to get what she wants. Yang could only remain silent; he always loses when they banter. Might as well be gracious about it. Yang reluctantly helped Mei Li to put all her things in her handbag, and then he guided her to the car that they would ride.

Arriving at the airport, they were hand in hand as they entered the Zhao's private hanger. Mei Li was on the phone as Yang was guiding her where to walk and turn. Yang's grandparents saw how Mei Li was almost crying. She must be talking to her future children. When they reached to the sofa that the elders were sitting at, Mei Li nodded a while before she spoke on the phone, "I will be going now. Chang, be sure to protect Ling Ling for me alright? Ling Ling, be good to your big brother."

The elders did not hear what the kids said, but Mei Li had to wipe a tear as she hung up the phone. Grandma Zhao hid her smile when her grandson tugged Mei Li to his side before rubbing the small wet trail that the tears left behind in her cheek away. Grandpa Zhao snorted at his grandson. He has changed ever since he had meet Mei Li. Who knew he could be so caring?

"Why are you even here?" Grandpa Zhao rudely shooed Yang.

Yang stood firm and complained, "You are taking my fiancee away from me. Don't you old geezers want a great-grandson?"

Grandma Zhao patted Mei Li's back as she turned bright red. Yang grinned mischievously at her. Grandpa Zhao mockingly patted Yang's back, "As if I don't know that you aren't getting any."

Yang and Mei Li were horrified when those words. They could not believe that the strict restauranteur could speak so brazen. Yang was even more shellshock as his mouth was full in agape. His grandparents had always been so prim and proper in his mind that those works almost made him faint.

Grandpa Zhao waved at Yang and said, "Say your goodbyes now. We will be going soon."

Yang immediately sobered up and hugged Mei Li tight. The painter had her breath taken out of her, and her soul was ready to go out of her body when his hug on her tightened.

"No one ever told me how scary it is to see someone you love leave," Yang murmured.

"It is just for a trip," Mei Li whispered back. She added after a while, "Stay loyal to me. I love you."

"I'd rather be whipped by you than kiss someone else."

Yang's grandparents promptly snickered.
