Taking a deep breathe before entering the room, Madam Li pushed the door open to the scene of her son having one of his hands in between Fa'er's thighs.
It was more than clear what his intention was, as he had even made her raise her maid dress high, as a weird and complicated look appeared on Madam Li's face for a fleeting moment.
Knowing everything, this scene was just a bit too much for her. Not only her, even Eric didn't know what to think of all this mess for a moment.
What was most surprising to him though, was the fact that Fa'er seemed truly disgusted by what was going on.
After being in Gao Jixie's arms and bed for all this time, and even conceiving a child for him, it wouldn't be a surprise if the mature maid had already developed feelings for him.
Even then, she didn't seem like she had any idea or thoughts of using her child to profit from the inheritance, at least at the moment.
It looked like she truly loved the man, and most probably felt that what she was doing was betrayal and treason against him.
But still, knowing her place she had no other choice but to accept Madam Li's order and be here.
What hurt her the most though, was most probably the fact that her man, didn't seem to want to help her.
On the other hand, Madam Li didn't know how to act, or how to react towards the news that she had just learned.
She knew that it wasn't just Fa'er fault, and that most probably it was that man who hadn't been able to control his fu*cking lust and caused something like this, but what could she do about it.
On one side it was Fa'er and her unborn child, on the other side it was her son's recovery, and his return to a normal and complete man.
If she placed the two in a scale, then she would surely chose her son over the unborn child anytime, but at the same time she could feel Fa'er's situation as a mother.
She was truly in a crossroads and didn't know which direction to walk upon, but the voice of her son brought her out of her thoughts,
"Ah~! Mother, you are here? Why didn't you knock!?"
With that said he pulled his hand from Fa'er's thighs, but one could easily notice the red hue on his face, and the small tent down his abdomen.
Seeing that, Madam Li couldn't help but be surprised for a moment, as she laughed a bit weirdly and then said,
"Sorry, mother just entered in a rush son! I will make sure to knock next time.
It's just so great to see you are so good right now, and its all thanks to young Chef Chen!"
She felt a bit weird actually complementing her lover in front of her son, but it came sort of naturally for her, as if she wanted to show his strong points with pride.
Certainly, Young Master Gao Jian didn't notice that as he was more concentrated on the fact that he was getting better, as he said,
"That's right, it all to Chef Chen. I can't help to get even better and go teach that sl*ut and her brother a lesson they will never forget!"
"You sure will son, mother promises this to you!"
Up to this point everything had gone so well that Eric had started to forget the reason why he had come here and had done nothing but fooling around.
He had even started to have a favourable opinion towards Madam Li, as he was even feeling sorry for her.
But it was at this point that he was reminded that they were both standing on opposite camps at the moment. Not to mention that the woman they were talking about, it was his.
Cui La had her place reserved by his side, while Madam Li was just a candidate to that. There was no doubt who he was going to choose among the two.
Not to mention that Madam Li seemed extremely more attached towards her son than towards him. If she were to choose, she would surely pick her son over him.
If he were a good guy then it wouldn't have been much of a problem at the moment, and he could tackle it slowly, but she was supporting him even if she knew he was in the wrong.
There was nothing wrong with what she was doing, but unfortunately her 'right' choice clashed with Eric's plans and made their paths different as a result.
In Eric's eyes, whatever was happening was nothing more than a little clash in a crossroads, before they both continued walking their path.
It wasn't that he didn't think of actually totally subduing her, and making her his puppet, but that wasn't going to be anything easy even if he tried.
Furthermore, he would never be able to fully trust her even if he did, as someday she might just remember this piece of trash again, and then try to do something against him.
Even though, there was a new player against him at play now, and it would be a different story if that new player caused the fall of Young Master Gao Jian and not him.
Amidst these thoughts, and the praises from mother and son duo, Madam Li and young Chef Chen left the room.
But before going out, Madam Li didn't forget to actually call to the maid,
"Fa'er please come to my room after you are done here, there is something we need to talk!"
Fa'er most probably felt a chill course through her body, as she shivered for a moment, but there was nothing she could say besides,
"Yes Madam, I will make sure to do so!"
After leaving the room, neither Eric nor Madam Li were in the mood to continue doing what they were doing before entering, so they both wordlessly left towards their respective directions.
Eric would have loved to go with her and console her a bit, so that he could even strengthen his standing inside her heart, but unfortunately he had another one to take care of.
The steps that had forced him and Madam Li to walk forward and enter the room, belonged to none other than the beautiful cousin, that was in cahoots with Chef Guo.
It seemed like this woman was keeping a close look at him, and had most probably decided to make a move, so he had to make sure that he was in her sight.
As he was moving down the hallway, his left hand was suddenly grabbed by two womanly hands and pulled towards an empty bedroom.
The room was fully dark, with no sign of light whatsoever, as even the curtains had been fully closed. Eric had to admit that the selected location was quite good, as he immediately 'panicked',
"Wh-Who are you!? Wh-Why are you doing this to me!?"
"Young Chef Chen I have to say that I didn't expect you to be so scared of darkness and especially a weak and feeble woman like me!"
'Clack!'
As she said that, the woman switched a small table light on, enough to actually allow the person in front of her recognize her face, and at the same time having a look at his expression.
"Miss Gao Ruo!? Wh-Why are you doing something like this?"
He seemed extremely surprised and shocked seeing who the person was, but as he said that he seemed to have remembered something as he continued,
"Y-You don't have to worry, I didn't tell anybody about what I saw! And neither do I plan to tell anybody! My lips are sealed!"
"No, no! That would be such a waste young Chef Chen! After all, how am I supposed to enjoy our kiss, if you keep your lips closed?"
"Wh-What?"
"You heard me right young Chef Chen, I am quite a fickle woman, and have always wondered just how would a nice juicy kiss with you would taste!
Don't tell me that you have never thought about doing those stuff with me!"
"No, no! Of course not, how could I…"
"Really? You have never thought of touching me? Or kissing me? Squeezing my melons? Or exploring my body?"
As she said all those words, she would guide the young Chef's right hand towards every part that she mentioned. And for the last part she was slowly lowering his hand towards her secret garden.
No matter how good he could control his emotions, if Eric said that he wasn't excited and turned on at that moment, not even the ghosts would believe him.
Yet he had to act like he wasn't interested in the least, as he pulled his hand in panic and hurry, as he said,
"No, no! I can't do this, you are in a relationship with Chef Guo! He would be heartbroken if he found out!"
'Hmmm~! How cute!'
Seeing the young Chef reject her like that, Gao Ruo thought of him as cute cherry young man, just like those dense guys in manga and anime's, who thought that they couldn't betray expectations and friends.
But there was no way she was going to allow him to stay like that, as she had decided to help him graduate.
With those thoughts in her mind, she removed the straps of her dress, let if fall on the ground, and then inked her body to his, while whispering in a warm breath in his ear,
"You don't have to worry young Chef Chen, as long as neither of us says anything then this will be our little secret!"
