/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 112
She replied with a sad smile, "I think he wants to hold onto this version of brother Tang for a little while longer before going back to reality . You should have seen his reaction when he found big brother smile at him unguardedly . "
"Isn't that cruel on Tang's part? He is playing with everyone's emotions here . We never took into account the ripple effect that this scheme would create," he said thoughtfully .
"Don't say that . He isn't playing with the emotions . He is submerged in them . If dad is using this opportunity to live in the past for a few moments, so is brother Tang . He is savouring these interactions as well because there is a part of his heart which still hero-worships his father . Its due to dad's actions against Jia Li's family that Tang shut him out but love doesn't go away like that . At the first given opportunity, dad went running like a new excited father to get his son's favourite breakfast . I only wish that by the end of this, they both find some sort of closure for the past," she finished speaking on a sigh .
"You can't possibly carry the tray with one hand in plaster . It's heavy and you will drop it," Jia Li was arguing with Tang in the kitchen .
After a few attempts, he gave up trying to take the tea laden tray from her hands .
"Fair enough . You win . Now since your hands are fully occupied, let me make the most of the situation," saying that, he planted a quick, but hot open mouthed kiss on her unsuspecting lips .
Grinning at her surprised reaction, he winked at her and walked away to where Chu and Ethan were seated .
Later that night…
"Have they reached back safely?" Jia Li asked Tang who had just gotten off the phone with his parents .
All three of them had decided to stay back for dinner and it had been a lively affair . But now she wanted them all safely back in their rooms . Though the distance to the nearby resort wasn't much but Jia Li was fretting because of the recent accident .
Tang nodded in affirmative .
"So, uh…I will see you guys for breakfast tomorrow morning, unless you decide to sleep in late . I would head straight to the office then," she said .
"Looking for excuses to run away from me, already," Tang came close and whispered in her ear .
She looked at him guiltily .
"Also, now that I look at you, don't you think you have put on a little weight around your midriff and maybe your face? Been leading the good life, have you?" he surveyed her critically .
Jia Li gawked at him . She was unsure if he was being serious or joking .
"I think you need to start some sort of exercise post food, especially after dinner . Maybe you could walk me back to the hotel right now? I can use the fresh air for my lungs and your body can digest the amazing food which you cooked . Btw, had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would have never believed that you prepared those dishes," he said .
"Ahhhhh, that's so unfair . You can't see beyond her, can you? What about all the effort which Ethan and I put in? Does that count for naught," Chu sulked .
"Can you both not start another round of bickering, please? I think Ethan may re-think his decision to be a part of the family," Jia Li teased Chu .
Tang remarked, tongue in cheek, "I don't think we need to worry about that . It seems that he isn't the brightest bulb around . After all, he did fall for my sister . "
Chu lunged at her brother with a cry of war and chased him around Jia Li's hallway . On the way, she picked up one of the carving knives from the dining table and threatened him .
Ethan grabbed her from behind and gently extracted the sharp knife .
"Can't afford to have you hurt, even a wee bit, my precious! And you need to stop rising to every bait which your brother throws your way . You know that he would only feel encouraged, right?" with that, he planted a kiss on her nose .
"God, I feel like vomiting after such sappy display of puppy love . How old are you guys," Tang made an exaggerated gagging gesture at them .
Jia Li poked him in the ribs .
"Stop tormenting her . You weren't this mean ever before," she chided .
"Maybe I am feeling left out . Why don't you give me some sappy love and I won't resent them theirs, hmm?" he said in a low voice, meant only for her ears .
