Chapter 238 Caught In The Act Pt 2

"You. How dare you do this to my daughter." Tai Cheng seethed, and Xue Ning and Jingwei both took a step back at the killing intent radiating off him. Beside him, Yue Niang nodded in support. Finally her husband was taking things seriously!

"Dad! It's not his fault!" Xue Ning protested, waving her hands. "It was me -"

"Nonsense! This man clearly seduced you! And now he's leading you astray!"

How can Sun Jingwei be such a disrespectful man to paw at his daughter under his roof!

He clearly had no control over his baser urges! Not gentlemanly in the least! There was no way he would make a good husband for Xue Ning!

"Dad he's not - I was the one- "

Furious at the fact that his daughter was still shielding this man, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and flung them at Jingwei!

Jingwei yelped and ducked just in time to keep his head, because if he hadn't, the chopsticks would probably have skewered his head like a fishball on a stick!

Xue Ning turned and stared aghast at the cupboard; her father had thrown the chopsticks so hard that they embedded into the wood.

"Dad! You could have killed him!" Xue Ning screamed hurriedly pulling Jingwei behind her to shield him from the force of his glare. Jingwei wanted to tell her not to bother, for Xue Ning was a foot shorter and her father could easily throw another pair of chopsticks at his head, but he did feel safer anyway, his heart beating quickly at her display of protectiveness.

"That's the point!" Her father exclaimed. "Now stand over here and let me aim my chopsticks at you."

"Dad, don't be ridiculous!" Xue Ning said, exasperated. "I was the one that kissed him first! You will not kill my first real boyfriend!"

Her parents looked even more appalled at her statement, and Xue Ning had to roll her eyes. Did they think that she was immune to wanting Sun Jingwei? If she didn't want him, why would she date him?

Meanwhile Jingwei's mind simply repeated the words 'first real boyfriend' on loop, a goofy smile appearing on his face. Tai Cheng and Yue Niang saw it and could only shake their heads in disapproval.

Was their daughter dating a moron? Why was he still smiling! Just as Yue Niang was going to wipe that idiotic grin off his face, she was interrupted by her son.

"Guys? What's taking so long? Did Sun Jingwei destroy our kitchen?" Tai Xuan's voice echoed from the outside, and he popped a curious head inside, his eyes focusing on the bowls of noodles, the smell enticing with steam wafting up from the bowls.

"Oh good, he actually cooked something that looks edible!" Tai Xuan commented in surprise, too focused on the food to detect the tension in the kitchen or the chopsticks embedded in the wood of the cupboards.

"Xin Yu darling! Let's eat! There's even a bowl with more fillings for you." Tai Xuan eagerly reached for the bowl with more dumplings, only for Jingwei to swat it away as though it was an errant hand.

"It's not for your wife!" Jingwei interrupted angrily, "It's for my wife!"

At his words, both parents turned to glare at him in unison. This brat was really waltzing in assuming that he would become their son-in-law! He was determined to steal their daughter away from them!

(Fine, he gained some points for giving Xue Ning more food, but overall, he was still in deficit!)

They glared at him, and then glared at his food. To their disappointment, it did look mouth-watering, even if the noodles were oddly-shaped. Points taken off for that too.

"I mean my girlfriend. My future wife." Jingwei hastily corrected as his future in-laws shot lasers at his face, his bravado making way for self-preservation.

He might not survive another chopstick-spearing attempt, but he had to show Tai Xuan who was the boss of this kitchen.

"If you want your wife to eat more food, go cook it yourself!"

"Yeah Ge, what he said," Xue Ning said smugly, and purposely pressed a kiss onto Jingwei's cheek, loving her brother's grossed out expression at her display of affection.

She normally wouldn't be so demonstrative, but then she wanted to convince everyone else that she wasn't being scammed into a relationship! She was a fully grown woman who could make her own decisions, even if one of these decisions was to climb her boyfriend like a tree while her family was just loitering outside.

(She didn't say she made wise decisions! But she didn't regret them, not one bit.)

Meanwhile Jingwei looked like all his birthday presents from his past 25 years all arrived at once. Xue Ning kissed him! In front of her family members! On purpose!

"Jingwei made this bowl for me alone, so if you want Sister-in-law to forgive you, you'd better make a bowl specially for her!"

"Of course I will, and I bet it'll taste better than what he made," Tai Xuan said, bragging. "You know my skills are as good as Dad's right?"

"So? You're a chef, your skills are supposed to be better to begin with! Jingwei's driving skills are better than an F1 driver, and you can't even change a lane properly without hitting a pothole." Xue Ning retorted. "If you don't want to eat your noodles, give them to me. I'll eat your share!"

"You've changed! Since when have you decided to side with an outsider over me, your brother?" Tai Xuan lamented, sulkily grabbing at a bowl of noodles, fully determined to hate it. He glared at Jingwei, who was too buoyed up by Xue Ning's kiss to even bother feeling scared.

"He's my boyfriend. My future husband. How is he an outsider?" Xue Ning argued, helping herself to her own bowl while her parents watched with twitching eyebrows and an increasing dismay that their daughter had already stubbornly decided on Sun Jingwei as a match.

This was just like the time when she insisted on adopting the stray puppy that wandered around the park!
