Go With The Flow Of Love-Chapter Two (Part 1)

Translated by trungtnguyen123

Since An Xiao Li was sold to Chen Yu Bai, she suffered each day.

An Xiao Li worked nine to five, after work she rushed to the supermarkets to buy ingredients and rushed to Chen Yu Bai’s house to cook dinner.

An Xiao Li did feel guilty about running off after the crash and not contacting Chen Yu Bai and Li Wei Ran. But she honestly thought that they were rich young masters who weren’t the type to take revenge on a pauper like her.

Not to mention An Xiao Li’s old QQ windshield was broken whilst only a little paint peeled off from the sports car.

Karma dealt An Xiao Li a heavy blow, she was a prime example of ‘what goes around comes around.’

The ice glacier was a picky eater, the dishes he chose were more complicated by the day – what human chose to eat homemade spring rolls on a weekday?

An Xiao Li carefully avoided the boiling oil from splashing onto her sold body and occasionally turned the spring rolls over to make sure all sides were cooked.

The slave master Chen Yu Bai was resting in the living room. ‘An Xiao Li, how much longer?’

An Xiao Li pouted her lips in defiance and wanted to scold the slave master if he was going to criticise she cooked too slow than he should cook his own dinner!

An Xiao Li’s phone rang when she was the busiest in the kitchen, she turned off the stove and took out her phone. The caller ID was Qin Sang.

‘Sang Sang…’ An Xiao Li sulked. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

‘Um,’ Qin Sang said.

An Xiao Li heard from Qin Sang’s tone that there was something troubling Qin Sang. ‘What’s wrong?’

‘Let’s go out tonight,’ Qin Sang suggested.

‘Ok! I know, after I finish cooking I’ll come find you,’ An Xiao Li said.

An Xiao Li didn’t need further details and was never too busy to comfort her best friend. Each person owned a best friend and the two of them never needed a reason to risk their own necks to save each other.

The ice glacier suddenly appeared in the kitchen and stood behind An Xiao Li. ‘Who?’

None of your business! An Xiao Li wanted to say, instead she forced herself to smile sweetly. ‘CEO Chen, the spring rolls are almost ready. Can you set the table?’

Chen Yu Bai smiled wickedly and pushed the bridge of his glasses up. In the hot kitchen cold sweat formed on An Xiao Li’s back, she’d served him long enough to know those gestures meant he was up to no good and the recipient was dead meat.

‘Ok,’ Chen Yu Bai said.

Chen Yu Bai maintained his wicked smile at the dining table.

‘You…’ An Xiao Li said.

An Xiao Li was enraged and pointed a shaky finger at Chen Yu Bai.

Chen Yu Bai put his chopsticks down and pretended he didn’t see An Xiao Li’s accusing finger pointed at him. ‘What?’

An Xiao Li was angry enough for her intestines to rumble, the complicated spring rolls that she risked her life to make! The ice glacier ate one bite and rejected her spring rolls. ‘Taste bad. Change it to dumplings.’

An Xiao Li wasn’t in the mood for dumplings, she wanted to break the ice glacier and let him melt at the bottom of the ocean.

‘You wanted to eat spring rolls,’ An Xiao Li reasoned.

‘Um,’ Chen Yu Bai said. He nodded his head in agreement. ‘Now I want to eat dumplings, hurry up and go buy me dumplings, it’s getting late.’

‘You know it’s late. Eat the spring rolls for now or I can make you fried egg rice?’ An Xiao Li coaxed.

Chen Yu Bai was amused by An Xiao Li’s gentle tone in an attempt to dissuade him. He smiled charmingly and showed two straight rows of sparkling white teeth. ‘Dumplings.’

An Xiao Li stomped her foot. ‘Why are you… forget it. I have plans tonight, whether you like to eat spring rolls or dumplings is up to you. I’m leaving.’

‘Salary deduction,’ Chen Yu Bai said.

‘If you want to deduct then go ahead, I don’t want it!’ An Xiao Li said.

An Xiao Li glared at the ice glacier, kicked her slippers and ran to the door to put on her shoes to leave.

Behind An Xiao Li’s back was a familiar cold aura, she turned around and saw a dark shadow close to her. Her vision was obstructed and she didn’t see any light but she smelt the familiar mint scent behind her.

Chen Yu Bai saw An Xiao Li’s shock as she was trapped between him and the door. His mood became happy. ‘What you said before… who was it that didn’t want it?’

An Xiao Li felt dizzy being pressed against the door by the ice glacier. She was forced to be honest under his intense interrogation. ‘Me…’

The ice glacier’s handsome face gradually ballooned, he breathed out hot air onto her face and his cool mint scent made her felt light headed.

An Xiao Li’s final thought was – the ice glacier’s lips weren’t cold, his lips were soft.

Chen Yu Bai felt the same, An Xiao Li’s lips were the softest lips in the world. He kissed every inch of her lips and his tongue traced the curves of her lips. He waited until her body was limp against his chest to pry her teeth apart for his tongue to play with her tongue.

When An Xiao Li was breathless, Chen Yu Bai reluctantly let her go. His eyes shone like a sunrise. ‘That was your punishment. In the future you can’t talk nonsense like you did before or you’ll be punished. Ok?’

Chen Yu Bai’s voice was gentle as calm water. He regretted letting An Xiao Li go too soon. He rubbed her swollen lips with a finger.

An Xiao Li gasped and breathed heavily. She lifted her head and looked into the clear bright eyes of the ice glacier who a moment ago kissed her breathless. His tongue licked the corner of his lips seductively and it reminded her it was the same tongue that conquered her tongue.

An Xiao Li bolted out the door to escape the ice glacier’s satisfied smile.

‘Cheers!’ An Xiao Li said.

An Xiao Li knew she didn’t need to say comforting words to Qin Sang, it was enough for Qin Sang to have her help Qin Sang drown anxieties.

Qin Sang smiled gently and clinked glasses with An Xiao Li. She thought that An Xiao Li most of the time was a dummy jellyfish but during the times she needed to lean on her dummy best friend, An Xiao Li understood her clearly without her having to utter a word.

‘Sang Sang,’ An Xiao Li called. She slumped her head on the bar table. ‘I… tell me what does it feel like to like someone?’

‘There are many ways to show someone you like them,’ Qin Sang said.

‘Qin-Sang!’ An Xiao Li protested.

An Xiao Li thought Qin Sang did everything perfectly, but Qin Sang’s flaw was that Qin Sang’s advice was always too condensed.

‘Are you shaken by Chen Yu Bai?’ Qin Sang asked concisely.

‘Um… what?’ An Xiao Li admitted by mistake.

An Xiao Li’s surprised eyes were faced with Qin Sang’s didn’t-you-hear-I-stated-the-obvious look.

‘A man that ticks all the boxes is set in front of you, it’ll be strange if you won’t dazzled,’ Qin Sang said. She shook her glass. ‘Don’t worry, go ahead and like him.’

An Xiao Li exhaled and used the bar table to prop her body up. ‘But in the past you advised me to find a mature and honest man so I won’t be played.’

‘In the past when I gave you that advice was before I knew you would meet someone named Chen Yu Bai,’ Qin Sang explained.

‘But he’s not sitting on an honest pedestal. He’s… wicked! Also he’s treacherous, petty, difficult to please, has an unlikeable temperament, a cold face, mean…’ An Xiao Li rambled like a drunk.

Qin Sang smiled slyly and gentle poked An Xiao Li’s head. ‘You’ve made progress with him?’

An Xiao Li was the type that needed a push to be willing to take a step forward. If Chen Yu Bai didn’t turn on the ‘light switch’ with her then she absolutely wouldn’t rack her brain to think about their abnormal relationship.

An Xiao Li nodded her head to admit hers and Chen Yu Bai’s abnormal relationship progressed a step. ‘Um.’

An Xiao Li remembered that it was Chen Yu Bai who kissed her but he didn’t elaborate what the kiss meant. Besides she felt like she shouldn’t like him – he always bullied her. What a headache!

‘Xiao Li, your life motto is take one step at a time. Love is the same, go with the flow,’ Qin Sang explained and fell into a love forlorn trance of her own.
