They arrived at a rundown dumpling shop. He opened the door for her motioning for her to get off. She was about to ask him where they were when she saw a familiar face. The old man and old lady were serving customers when she went to hug the older lady in the back.
"Nanny Ming," she cried. Her slender hands surrounded old lady, tears already dropped down from her eyes and wet the back of Nanny Ming's shirt. The older lady turned around to see the young girl crying. She then noticed the big brown eyes that starred at her.
"Young Miss Bai!! How have you been?"
Mo Yan was right behind her watching her closely.
The older man looked at the younger girl, "Young Miss Bai!! How do you fare?"
Both elders had tears in their eyes. The older couple were the head maid and head butler to the Bai Family. After Bai Xin Xi's father died the couple was fired. They were not in contact with her after they both were fired. The Bai Family paid the couple a good amount of money so in order to fulfill their boredom they opened up a dumpling shop. But they always had their little Young Miss in their hearts wondering how she fared.
They both hugged their Young Miss and sat her down at a table. They both felt her trembling, "Young Miss Bai have you not ate yet?" worried etched across Nanny Ming's face.
"Old Man let's get her something to eat."
Mo Yan's face turned dark. If she was hungry earlier why didn't she say something. Her body was fragile couldn't handle the stress of not eating all day.
"Why didn't you tell me you were hungry?" he eyed her darkly.
"I didn't want to bother you're work." She looked down at her hands. He knew that it was a habit of hers when she knew that she was in trouble. He didn't like that she was hiding away from him.
"You would never bother me," she wanted to say something more to him but stopped because Butler Ming came by to bring her some food.
"Wow, this looks so good. I missed your food so much." She grabbed her chopsticks and started to eat the plate of food surrounding her.
"I wished every day that I would get to eat your food," she said as she ate the food on her plate to Nanny Ming.
"Please come by more often Miss. Bai. We missed you dearly," the older lady had tears in her eyes. She missed her young Miss. Her laughter always filled her heart with warmth.
One thing about Bai Xin Xi was that she made anyone feel at ease. She was very astute for her age when she was little, she still was. Everyone in the family loved her very much although she was very spoiled, she was a very sensible little girl.
Nanny Ming did not have any children so when Bai Xin Xi was born, she took very good care of the little princess. Now that Bai Xin XI was all grown, she saw how beautiful the little girl she raised grown to look and become. Her big almond feline eyes, her tiny nose and her pouty resembled her mother. When she talked to her temperament was like her father's calm and gentle. She didn't have to worry about her little Miss anymore. One look at Mo Yan and she knew that her Miss would be taken care of.
"Make sure you eat lots, you need to provide the Mo Family with a little one."
Bai Xin Xi almost choked on the dumpling that was in her mouth. She just wanted to be successful how could she even think of having a little one. Especially one with Mo Yan?
Mo Yan tapped her back to make sure that she wasn't choking.
"Xin Xi just got back so it'll be a while until we have a baby." He said calmly.
She shot an angry glare at the man. He was amused from the look she gave him. She always held in whatever she was thinking but he clearly saw what she was telling him from her face. She was such a gentle being but the look that was given was a clear death glare.
He patted her back lightly.
"Xiao Xi here eat more of this, I remember that these were the only dumplings that you ate. You were such a picky little child." She handed her a chive dumpling. It was true that she was a picky eater. She wasn't a picky eater anymore she learned to adapt to her surroundings.
"Thank you," she was glad that Nanny Ming changed the subject. She didn't want to think about a family with Mo Yan. It would force her to think about the future meaning divorce. She wasn't ready yet. She wanted to be in his embrace for as long as she could.
"Young Master Mo are you going to eat?" the older couple looked at him. She was picked another dumpling with her chopsticks instead of popping it in her mouth he grabbed her wrist and popped it in his mouth.
"Xin Xi will feed me." He leaned in for more. He was acting like a spoiled brat that she couldn't resist a smile. The smile warmed up the older couple's heart. They knew that she would be taken care of and loved.
Not wanting to bother the couple the older couple decided to tend to their guest and let them eat.
"We have more customers, so we'll let you both go for now. Let us know when you leave."
After they left, she was about to feed him and then put it in her own mouth. She smiled at him mischievously.
He leaned in close to her ears and whispered quietly. "Have I been treating Mrs. Mo too good for her to tease me?"
She didn't want to tease him anymore, so she grabbed a plate and gave him some food. He happily ate the food that was given to him.
Watching her eat happily he decided to let her know when she would start to work. He was glad that she agreed to work at the company. He would be able to keep her safe.
"You can start work next week."
"Em."
It had been a while since she was intimate with anyone. She quietly ate her food trying to ignore the man. He would here and there give her some more dumplings to eat but after a while he noticed that she wasn't eating anymore. She moved the dumplings around with her chopsticks. She had a hand on her chin looking bored.
"Are you full now?"
"Em," even though she had an evening nap she was still tired. She missed the food that Nanny Ming made. She was satisfied with the food that she yearned and missed. She looked in her bag to take out money only to be beaten by Mo Yan. He already walked over to the couple and paid. They were smiling at the handsome man in front of them.
She starred at him admiring how handsome he was. For the longest time she longed to see him to be in his safe embrace. It was only a dream in her mind though. She was in such a daze that she didn't notice that he walked in front of her.
"Want me to carry you to the car," his hot breath caressed her cheeks. He was enjoying her being back. He teased her showing her a whole new side of him. If the others were to see him they wouldn't believe that it was him.
She shook her head. She stood up wanting to say goodbye to the couple but was stopped by him.
"They're busy you can visit them anytime hmmm." She agreed to whatever he was saying and went into the car.
She dozed off while he drove them back to the house. Not wanting to interrupt her sleep he carried her to bed. He missed her so much. She was finally in his arms and safe. He kissed her soft lips and went to take a shower. He would take his time with her. He knew that he needed to earn her trust. He was going to give her the world.
