"First you need to melt some butter on the hot pan, before placing about a small cup worth of mix. You can't fry it on the high heat and should use a low heat instead. Each side should be fried until there is a nice brown coloured skin on it. In our case, it should take a few minutes on each side to make a perfect pancake," Wuxing began frying, explaining each step one by one and Dongmei listened carefully, remembering all of them.

After six minutes, Wuxing placed a nicely done pancake on the plate and spilt some sugar powder on top of it. Wanting her to have the first taste, he sliced a piece of it and blew on it gently before giving it to her with care in his eyes, saying warmly, "Watch out, it might be still hot."

Dongmei had to admit that this piece of a pancake wasn't just any food, but one filled with care and emotions she felt as she bit into it, swallowing after chewing a few times. If she was not a strong woman, Dongmei didn't think she would resist shedding a tear of happiness.

"How do you like it?" Wuxing asked with a curious smile as she also sliced a piece for himself and ate it before commenting, "Mhmm, It's not that bad."

"Yeah, it tastes amazing," Dongmei couldn't find any better words to describe it. Tugging on Wuxing's shirt, she asked softly, "Can I have... more?" It was the first pancake he made for her and she wanted to have it all.

Wuxing didn't have problems with that and sliced another piece, putting it into her mouth. He fed her until almost the whole pancake was gone and only one small piece was left. He picked it up with a fork and travelled with it towards her mouth.

Leaning over, she was ready to bite on it when he suddenly pulled it back towards his mouth instead. She chased after it, with her eyes focused on her precious prey but she soon met an obstacle.

"Mhmm…" What she met was not the taste of a pancake but Wuxing's sweet lips which covered her mouth. Their kiss quickly ended as Wuxing pulled away from her and gave her the last piece while smiling playfully.

Dongmei now considered giving it back to him, but looking at his gentle eyes, she accepted it in the end, muttering with a happy expression, "Thank you..." As she ate it, she decided she wanted to cook one for him as well.

She quickly reacted to her thought and ordered while turning him around, "Turn around and close your eyes. I will be cooking next pancake."

Wuxing looked at her confused, not knowing if he wanted to risk letting her fry without his help.

Seeing his casual glance, she rolled her eyes and assured him, "Don't worry, I remember all the steps from earlier." There was nothing that looked hard on Wuxing presentation so she only needed to repeat it and she would be fine.

As Wuxing stood next to her without looking at all she repeated all the process. Wuxing didn't plan to help her but if he smelt some burning he would interfere for sure. Just like earlier, it took another 6 minutes and the pancake was done.


Dongmei sliced a piece, blowing on it gently so it can cool down and gave it to him while covering his eyes, saying, "I want you to taste it, but don't look!"

Surprisingly, it didn't turn out as Wuxing thought it would. He expected burned pancake but got a soft and tender one. At some point, he could say it was tastier than the first one.

Wuxing could not help but ask while praising it, "How did you do it? It tastes amazing."

"Hehe, I filled it with a secret ingredient. I'm not telling you what it was," Dongmei giggled as she smiled mysteriously and continued to feed him, enjoying the satisfied look on his face. She didn't want to tell him yet that the secret ingredient was her love.

"Then I guess, I don't need to cook anymore. How about you do all the pancakes and I will do dinner later?" Wuxing proposed, knowing there would be no troubles anymore with her cooking.

"Sure! Go relax on the sofa. I will bring them to you when I finish," Dongmei found it quite enjoyable so she instantly agreed which to Wuxing gave her a reward kiss and did as she suggested.

'Is that how a house-wife life could look like? With me cooking and my husband enjoying my food every day after work… Then we could cuddle and watch a scary movie together… And cuddle even more…' Dongmei got immersed in her thoughts as she saw the current situation, but then smelled something bad and found out she burned part of the pancake.

Quickly turning it around so it doesn't burn more she glanced at Wuxing to see if he noticed. Fortunately, he was reading a newspaper which made her sigh in relief.

'I guess, I will eat that one myself…' Dongmei muttered in her mind, not wanting him to see her failure.

...….

"Wow, you really have a big stomach. How did eat all of them? I was already full after three of them." Dongmei sat next to Wuxing and asked in wonder, seeing that he ate all of what she prepared.

"It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating," Wuxing smiled playfully as he put down the empty plate, not lying as he actually enjoyed it, but also not telling the whole truth.

Dongmei smiled happily, jumping on top of his lap and asked while patting him on the chest full of energy, "So what do you want to do today? I told everyone that I'm feeling unwell. We can do whatever you want."

Wuxing found that interesting as he asked to confirm her agreement while his hands moved onto her butt, bringing her closer to him, "Whatever I want?"

Dongmei instantly realised what he wanted, already having her mind ruined by all of his teasings and rolled her eyes, giving him another option after a little thought, "Ah, not that… But we can cuddle in the bed if you want…"

She thought he will take her bait but Wuxing gave a quick peck instead before picking her up and placing next to him, saying with a sigh, "Actually, I have a favour I need from you."

"What is it? I can help you with anything." She quickly responded with a desire to help and hearing it, Wuxing suddenly lifted his leg, raising his pants to show his ankle bracelet.

"Can you use your connections to take that off me? It is kind of uncomfortable. I will make sure to repay you later." Wuxing asked shamelessly, knowing this would hinder his escape later.

"Just this? Don't worry, we can take it off you right now. I don't know the way to open it, but we can visit the Chief Warden for that. He will listen if I ask for that," Dongmei had her brows raised earlier, anxious of what Wuxing could ask from her, but hearing his plea, she sighed in relief, happy that it was something she could do.

Before he replied back, she stood up and pulled him with her, saying sweetly, "Let's go now. The earlier we fix it, the better." The thought of Wuxing owning her a favour was very alluring to her right now.

He didn't have any objections to that and after they cleaned themselves from the breakfast, they left through the front door without worry. Dongmei facial expressions changed from a sweet girl into a cold miss just before Wuxing opened the door. He found it funny how quickly she could change her attitude.

"Miss? Are we going somewhere?" When the guards saw her, all ready to leave the house, she couldn't blame her for being surprised when not long ago she was acting sick and taking a day of break.

"Yes, follow us." Dongmei didn't explain much and just passed them with Wuxing behind her, casually walking with his hands in the pants pockets.

The guards looked at each other with suspicious gazes but still followed after them. What made them most wary was Dongmei wording rather than her going out like this. She used the word us instead of me. It meant she actually cared about Wuxing, putting him at the same place as her. Normally she wouldn't care about anyone and just think of herself as a leader.

Wuxing also noticed it but did not say anything as that would only worsen the situation. He made sure to walk half a step behind her to show her guards that they are not actually equal in power.

Dongmei knew it would bring some complications by showing to everyone that she freed Wuxing, but at this point, she didn't care much. She had the influence to back up her whims. If she involved her family, she could easily free anyone from prison.

As they left the building, they noticed many people staring at her with most of those gazes coming from other staff or prison guards, but with her glancing at them coldly, they instantly were turning their heads away. The gossiping within the prison guards was quite fast and it only took a day for every guard to talk about it.

Halfway to her goal, she was beginning to get annoying by everyone whispering in groups when they saw them and turned to one of her private guards, saying coldly, "Figure out what are the rumours about us. I want to know every detail. You have five minutes."

"Right away," The guard actually smiled, happy that his domineering Miss was back and carried out the mission. He approached the group of five guards on a break who were talking while smoking in a circle next to the metal net tunnel that was leading to the staff building.

They quickly stopped talking and looked at Dongmei's guard answering his questions calmly. Unfortunately, it seemed that it didn't work well as the guard suddenly picked one guy up by his collar and pinned him to the metal net. Just when the others tried to help, he glared at them muttering some words which were pretty effective as they ceased their movements.

With that settled, he started questioning them before finally letting them off after learning everything from them. The prison guards kept giving scared glances at them as if he told them Dongmei will fire or even kill them to get the information he needed. Fortunately, Dongmei didn't mind as long as the job was done.

"Miss, there is gossip among the prison guards saying that you take attractive males from within the prisoners and bring them to your place for special services. I already know who they learned it from. It was the miner that was hurt by Mr Li. He started spreading the gossip after leaving the hospital yesterday," The guard said briefly what he learned, without avoiding anything.

Dongmei frowned hearing the news and didn't think twice before thinking what to do, "Bring that miner. Wait in front of the hospital and we will meet with you after we are done with our stuff. Go."

"Alright," the guard quickly nodded and left without asking questions. Dongmei also resumed her walking as if she didn't just sentence someone for death.

"You won't have a problem killing people left and right?" Wuxing asked with a calm smile. Internally he was surprised she decided this fast, but he still thought that would be the outcome of this situation, recalling the scene from the mine. She didn't even blink last time she killed the unfair guard with five bullets.

"Who said I will be the one to kill him?" Dongmei asked back with a mysterious smile which to Wuxing followed up right away, "Then who?"

Dongmei laughed and resisted her urge to boop his nose, asking lightly, "Hah, how about you tell me?"
