Back In Home

Long Yi Chen in the other hand reached his apartment building. Paying the taxi driver, he climbed out with his suitcase and the briefcase. Anyone who saw him will only think him as an anther white color worker. There was an old woman in the yard of the building watering some plants.

"Xiao Long you're back" Seeing him coming she greeted enthusiastically.

Long Yi Chen greeted her back with only nodding his head. His expression was his typical cold façade. But his aura is a bit suppressed though.

"How had she been?" He asked the old lady.

"Xiao Yi was fine. Though she behaved as usual I can see that she was missing you terribly." The old lady answered grinning.

"Thank you for looking after her." He said while dragging his suitcase to the staircase.

"Aiyaa. I did nothing." Old lady waved him expressing that she wasn't bothered.

Nodding he left without another word. He wouldn't bothered to talk if it wasn't for his baby doll.

Looking at his retrieving figure she mumbled to herself "such lovely couple."

Arriving in his home he unlocked the door. Opening the door, he saw the best sight he would ever see.

In the small apartment there isn't much furniture. But it was tidy and homey with the small handmade decorations adorning it.

Light blue colored walls. A small old couch with hand woven blanket and a couple of cushions. Both cushions and blanket have been handmade by his little girl made it more homey. Facing the couch was a small three-story cabinet. Top of it was an old fashioned tv. There was a photo frame with a photo of him and her standing together near a lake. In the second stand was a radio. Currently a soft music was flowing out of it filed the whole apartment. Last level was filled with some books. End of the hall is an area that can be considered as a kitchen. Beside the small kitchen area stood a dining table with two chairs. The table was filled with steaming hot food. Mouthwatering aroma of food wafted through the tiny apartment. Beside the table stood his purpose of living. His baby girl dressed in a simple washed off denim and a t-shirt grinning widely at him.

Spreading his hands for hug he smiled gently at her. His domineering and dangerously aura disappeared. Cold expression melted to a gentle one without him even noticing. Only thing left was a young man looking at his sweetheart.

Wang Xinyi noticing her love was home ran to his now opened arms which was waiting for her. She hugged him with all her might.

"You're home." She happily whispered greedily buried in her safe heaven, his arms.

Hugging back the petite body of his baby girl he mumbled. "Yeah, I'm home."

Home the word was a foreign existence for him after his parent's death. After that any pace he stayed was became just a building or a shelter for him. But now because of his baby girl he has place which can be called as a home. Any place she stays become home for him.

Coming out if his reverie he softly kissed her head.

"How was your trip? Is it successful? Wang Xinyi asked now looking at his tired face.

"Yes, It was a success." He replied reassuring her.

Looking at the table full of food not far away he asked, "You cooked?"

"Yeah. Just a small snack. You probably hadn't had a good meal in the flight. So, I made a small snack to fill your stomach. I'll cook something big for the dinner."

She said while peeling his suit jacket off his shoulders.

"You shouldn't have baby. I ate on the way. You're tiring yourself." He said distressed.

"You don't like my food?" she whispered in an upset voice.

"No, baby doll. You know that I love them. It's just cooking is tiring." Long Yi Chen explained hurriedly. Angry at himself for making her feel bad.

"Then go and wash your hand first." Before he grabbed the jacket from her hands, she lifted the briefcase in floor and ran off to the room to keep them.

He scoffed that she snatched the briefcase. He doesn't like the fact that she was busying herself for him. He wants her to take a good rest. Washing his hands, he sat in one if the dining chair.

Coming out of the room Wang Xinyi went the kitchen to get the boiling water to make a tea. Sitting across Long Yi Chen she grabbed a plate to serve him. But he beat her for it and served her first and them himself. Waving her head, she went to make the tea. Again, he snatched the teapot from her.

"Let me. You should stop busying. Enough work for today." Long Yi Chen said a little sternly.

Happiness filled in Wang Xinyi's heart because of his consideration. She knows he is worrying for her.

Watching him eat her hand cooked food made her heart feel filled. Although this wasn't the first time, he tasted her food every time the scene made her happy.

Long Yi Chen stood up with the empty bowls to wash them.

"Leave them Chen. I'll wash them." Wang Xinyi stoop up.

"No. I'll wash them."

"Come on Ah Chen you need a shower. Go change your clothes. Washing these plates isn't a big deal. I'm used to them anyway." Wang Xinyi said pulling him towards the room.

Sighting to himself Long Yi Chen went to the shower.
