After the pandemonium that felt as if it took ages to get over, the first meeting between the in-laws finally came to an end. Jun and Jin looked half-dead while the chaotic gang of four still had a lot of energy to spare.
"Jun-cuuuute, we will miss you~" The twins squeezed their little brother between their bear hugs. "Why don't you stay the night here so that we can tease you some more?"
"Get off me! You stink!" Jun pushed them away.
Liu Hai and Zhou Yichen shook hands as if they were long lost comrades. "Mr. Liu. You opened my eyes to such a different aspect of fun. How did we not meet before?"
Liu Hai waved his hand, feeling shy. "It is me who is so thankful to meet a gem like you. You are a charming young man~ Seems like I still have some hope to sleep in the bedroom tonight."
Zhou Yichen winked. "I promise you the trick won't fail. I have had a lot of practice with Nuying at one spell. Also please don't forget our deal~"
"Pah! Of course, I won't. You are welcome at Liu Corps anytime. It will be so much fun and refreshing for our employees to work under you. Don't worry about Jinhai or Jin. I am the eldest here hohoho!"
Speaking of Xie Nuying, she had already warned Liu Chunhua of Zhou Yichen's trick. "Never ever fall for the seduction trick."
Liu Chunhua bobbed her head. "Thanks for the heads up, dear."
"My pleasure. A husband who abandons his wife for anything must be punished and taught a lesson."
"You are absolutely right."
Then she had a different light on her face altogether as she met Nana, feeling more confident about her cooking skills. "You are an angel. How I wish I had met you earlier."
Nana scratched her chin in embarrassment. "I just taught you some simple tricks."
Nuo raised her hand eagerly. "Aunt, you can call me anytime if you need help with any of the recipes! I will always be happy to help you!"
"You are such a good girl," she nodded with appreciation.
Ai, on the other side, was ready with her notebook and pen and standing before Jing and Yukito with sparkling eyes like a child as if she got hold of a treasure.
"Can you tell me how you two met? Who fell in love first? Who confessed? Who proposed? What challenges have you faced in your relationship? What do you like about each other the most? Who is more possessive? What do you do when you fight?"
Yukira choked on his cold drink.
Ah, they will be having a hard time…
Yukito rapidly blinked his eyes and felt his head spinning with the back to back questions.
"S-so many questions…"
"I am inspired to write a same sex love story," her expression was even more blinding.
Jing beamed. "Let me answer all your questions, young lady! It's such a touching and awesome love story of Yukito and I," he sniffled, "We faced so many hardships. Our love was difficult to conquer. But we fought against all odds and became one! I will tell you all in detail how this old man of my father was so against our relationship! He threatened to disown his one and only adorable son," he wiped his non-existent tears.
"..."
Yukito dryly said, "That didn't happen-"
"And also how I ran away from home because he didn't accept us and how Yukito and I made our own small house together~"
"...That also didn't happen."
Jing hugged his husband. "And I will also tell you how Dad had tried to separate Yukito from me by throwing a blank cheque on his face and ordering him to leave me, saying all sorts of rubbish about class, status and gender. How he also plotted to fail us in my fashion designer and his modeling career and break our relationship! But we stood tall! It's truly a heart wrenching story."
Yukito's brow twitched. "You just want him to be the villain in the story anyhow, don't you?"
He sneered. "He was always the perfect villain character. I am just giving him a chance to shine."
Ai seriously took notes when she suddenly felt Jun grab her. "Are you seriously listening to Uncle?"
"Why not?"
His expression twisted. "He, Grandpa, Bro Jian and Bro Nian are the last people in the whole universe that you should take seriously."
Jing kicked him. "Hey! Don't ruin the fun between an uncle and his niece-in-law! You are such a party pooper!"
"Stop spreading lies and fool my girlfriend!" He glared at him.
He looked at Nana and Jinhai and said, "We will be leaving now," then he muttered, "Or I will go crazy."
Jinhai stared at him and nodded. Nana said, "Take care on your way back."
Stepping out of the villa, Jun sighed as he begged Zhou Yichen. "Uncle, please don't join that group of crazy people. You have to stay at my side. MY SIDE!"
"That's a difficult choice you are asking me to make, Jun-cute," he said with a grim face.
Ai, who was walking with Xie Nuying in the front, asked her, "Mom, will you be leaving for Xuanhua?"
"That is my plan."
She pursed her lips. "Can you not stay here for some more time?"
Jun agreed. "Yes. You just arrived two days back. It's too soon for you to go back. Same with Uncle."
Zhou Yichen grinned. "Oh, I have a good reason for staying here for some more time. I am serious about visiting the Liu Corps," he winked. "Your grandfather has promised me a good deal."
"..."
Good luck, Jin. You have my sympathies.
Xie Nuying pressed her lips. Now she didn't feel like leaving Ai and Jun either.
"But I have work to do back home…Exams are also coming, and students need my help."
Jun smiled. "Don't worry about work. How about I make some arrangements for online classes?"
Ai nodded. "That's a good idea."
Xie Nuying thought about it.
Zhou Yichen snorted. "You should focus on your students more, Professor Xie. Jun-cute and Ai-chan already have me here, haha! Don't worry, you won't be missed at all."
"Dad," Ai gave him a stern look.
Irked, Xie Nuying smiled and said, "Jun's idea is wonderful. I will take up on that offer."
"..."
He clicked his tongue.
The days would have been so peaceful.
