Chapter 398: Chapter 372: Heart Burning Like Fire (Thanks to Alliance Leader Shui Yu Qing for the Reward +4)

In Yu Minglang’s heart, Xiao Mei was a wonderful girl who rarely let her emotions show. Although she occasionally played little tricks on him, those harmless actions, in his eyes, were her way of showing affection.

So, Yu Xiaoqiang believed that Chen Xiaomei must be getting moody due to her upcoming period. He seemed to forget that Xiao Qian had a famous saying: Yu Minglang was her endless emotional comforter and avalanche emperor! As long as he was close to her and acted silly, Xiao Qian’s temper would flare up uncontrollably.

Yu Xiaoqiang had been helping out at Xiao Qian’s family for a few days, assisting Jia Xiufang in making some money. He wanted to ask Xiao Qian out for a walk before they returned to their respective posts, hoping to enjoy a night show together, cuddling and kissing – the best thing ever.

But Xiao Mei ignored him and even kicked him out. Frustrated, Yu Xiaoqiang borrowed Mother Yu’s kitchen, planning to make some soup for Xiao Qian and create a lasting impression in her heart. If he could make her happy, he might still have a chance to enjoy that night show.

Mother Yu happened to be home and wanted to help her son with the cooking, but Yu Minglang chased her away, insisting on making the soup himself to show sincerity. Knowing that her son was rarely home and wanting to win over his fiancée, Mother Yu stood at the edge of the kitchen, guiding him and chatting with him simultaneously.

“Xiao Xi called me these days, saying Xiao Qian can really help her fall asleep through hypnosis over the phone.”

Yu Minglang’s mother was amazed at how Xiao Qian could perform hypnosis on Xiao Xi from so far away. Xiao Qian had told her that her daughter’s insomnia wouldn’t go away quickly. Although she could put her to sleep without sleeping pills, Xiao Xi still couldn’t fall asleep on her own, which troubled Mother Yu.

“Xiao Xi keeps thinking about things that she can’t sleep. She should come to me, and I’ll impose a full-fledged fitness program on her, making her fall asleep the moment she touches the pillow.”

Yu Minglang believed that only those with too much time on their hands have trouble sleeping. When he was particularly busy, he would be happy to fall asleep standing up. A pillow was the best thing, and sleeping until daybreak was everyone’s luxury. Ever since becoming the Young Boss, sleeping until daybreak has been considered an extravagance for Yu Minglang.

From his point of view, it was hard to understand what insomniacs were thinking. Lying in bed and sleeping peacefully until daybreak was a truly blissful experience. If he could embrace his beloved Xiao Mei while he slept, that would be a divine pleasure money couldn’t buy.

“How could she possibly go to you? She’s so stubborn and insists on going to those remote areas. I don’t know what she wants.”

Mother Yu was rambling while Yu Minglang’s phone rang from his pocket. As he took out his phone, his wallet fell to the floor. Mother Yu bent down to pick it up for him.

She found the wallet’s design quite appealing and started to examine it in her hand.

Father Yu had been complaining about needing a new wallet, so she took the opportunity to check it out. Opening it, she found a picture of Xiao Qian inside?

“Yeah, I’ll go back to my workplace the day after tomorrow. Go out for a drink? No, I must accompany Xiao Mei tonight.” Yu Minglang had a brief conversation with Hai Zhao, who wanted to drink with him, but was turned down without hesitation.

You must be joking; the time he spends with Xiao Mei is not even enough yet.

After hanging up, Yu Minglang saw Mother Yu taking out the photo. He quickly snatched it back and carefully put it in place.

“I thought the picture looked a little bulging, so I took it out to fix it.” Mother Yu, being a doctor, had a bit of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. She could not help but want to fix everything uneven.

“Your hands just cut onions. What if Xiao Mei’s picture gets stained with onion smell?” Mother Yu couldn’t touch his beloved picture either.

Mother Yu rolled her eyes. “You naughty boy, when I was changing your diapers, I never complained about you. I should’ve wiped your face with those stinky diapers!”

Mother Yu turned to leave, but suddenly noticed a neatly folded piece of paper on the floor. She picked it up, thinking it had fallen when she took out the photo.

Upon opening it, she saw a handsome line of words:

The evening scene in the maple forest is so beautiful, I want to go with you –

Before she could finish reading, Yu Minglang snatched it away.

Mother Yu hadn’t finished reading and assumed it was a love note written by Xiao Qian to him. She found it amusing and thought the children were quite romantic.

“Mrs. Old Yu! I’m telling you, don’t read my letters!”

“Alright, I won’t read them anymore. It’s just looking at maple leaves, what’s the big deal? Your dad even took me to see the wind blowing through the cornfields.”

Mother Yu muttered going out. Yu Minglang despised, thinking that his old man couldn’t possibly have that kind of elegance, and he knew that going to the cornfields surely meant no good, being so secluded…

But why did Xiao Mei stuff a note into his wallet?

After driving his mother away, Yu Minglang unfolded the note and read Xiao Qian’s smooth handwriting.

The evening scene in the maple forest is so beautiful, I want to go there in a car with you, not too early, not too late, just right. Because it’s you, it’s worth it.

He furrowed his brows, feeling something was off.

It was still early spring and chilly, and the maple leaves had to be seen in the autumn. Furthermore, there was no large maple forest in Qiang City. If she wanted to see it, she would have to go to the Imperial Capital and drive –

Wait a minute!

Yu Minglang seemed to understand something, staring in disbelief at the note. He then blushed furiously.

He couldn’t believe Xiao Mei would…!

It was enlightening!

No wonder she hasn’t shown him a good face for the past few days; she had put this in his wallet!

Her intentions were so clear; Xiao Mei was implying that she wanted to go with her … to see the maple forest!!!

Understanding everything, Yu Minglang clenched his fists, blue veins popping up. He held the note tightly, feeling that Xiao Qian’s light-hearted words were stirring and boiling his blood.

When it comes to seduction skills, if Xiao Qian said she was second, no one could claim the first spot, of course, only when it came to seducing Yu Minglang.

The seemingly reserved expressions were her straightforward requests without appearing frivolous. With just one sentence, she had already sent Yu Minglang’s thoughts soaring.

Holding the note, his fragile nasal membrane began to feel hot again. Yu Minglang felt that Xiao Mei’s words had stirred him up, making him want to rush to her immediately and do this and that to her –

By the time Yu Minglang realized his nose was bleeding again, it was too late. Blood dripped onto the paper, and beneath her beautiful handwriting were the blooming little blood flowers.

Such a shame to waste this precious note, it should have been kept, ah, ah, ah!

Yu Minglang hastily tried to clean up the paper, neglecting his nosebleed. Mother Yu walked in and was startled by her son’s antics.

“Minglang, what happened?”

“Love is like a fire, no, I can’t wait any longer!”
