750 Delay
"But why? Why would you hide that?" Linyang was very surprised and suspicious too. Why would anyone want to hide their identity behind someone else?
Grabbing her hand, Andrew sighed, "I have reasons but trust me Linyang, I wasn't flirting with that woman. Forget about that woman, I haven't even looked at any other woman after meeting you."
"W—What do you mean?" She nervously asked. Her heart was pounding against her chest and her cheeks were turning red and hot.
"Isn't it evident? Evident that I like you? Have you really not noticed?" When Linyang shook her head, he sighed, "Alright, I'll be blunt with you this time."
Tightening his grip around her hand, he confessed, "I don't know whether you will believe me or not but I really like you Linyang and I have never felt so special for a woman ever in my life. I know you think that we are very different but I know that you are perfect for me. I mean, you are strict and I am lazy, isn't that a perfect match? I can teach you my laziness and you can teach me your punctuality."
Linyang frowned and retorted, "I am not strict or punctual, I am lazy too. I wake up late and skip meals at times. I spill coffee on the documents and I also miss meetings at times."
"Well, then we are alike, isn't that just perfect?" He chuckled.
Pausing for a while, he added, "Look I know we have many misunderstandings and I know you hate me but will you please give me a chance to fix things between us? Please."
Keeping quiet for quite some time, she asked, "And how are you going to do that?"
"So I was thinking, will you go on a date with me tomorrow?"
Linyang was taken aback by his sudden proposal. Was she ready to go on a date with him? Did she want to go on a date with him? Her heart said yes but her brain said No. She wasn't someone who used to take reckless decisions and regret it later. She always thought things through and never followed her heart while taking important decisions. But for the first time, she decided to follow her heart and do what it wanted.
"We can go out for dinner," she rephrased his words a bit. She didn't mind going on a date with him but she also didn't want him to think that it was easy to get his way.
Andrew grinned and said, "Yeah okay, a dinner date sounds even better."
Slapping his hand away, she got up. "Go sit outside while I cook something for you."
"I can cut the vegetables for us,"
"Us? You are the only one who is eating and not me."
"Why not?" He asked.
"Hmm, I am not hungry."
Pouting his lips, he complained, "But I don't like eating alone,"
Rolling her eyes at him, she sighed, "Fine, I'll accompany you."
…..
Three months later
Li mansion.
"Why so late?" Zian frowned.
"Late? It's only two weeks away," Mian chuckled.
Zian frowned deeper and shook his head, "We have been already waiting for three whole months, why does it keep getting extended?"
"Why are you being so impatient? Aren't you and Mian already sharing a room and—"
Smacking his shoulder, Ming glared at him. "Singtan, what are you saying?"
Mian lowered her head and quickly excused herself. She didn't want to get embarrassed in front of everyone again.
Sitting beside Ming, Zian started whining, "Mom, why are we delaying this? It's already so late."
"We can't do anything honey, Clara is still recuperating in the hospital and she will be discharged tomorrow. We can't fly as soon as she gets discharged right? So we need to give her at least two weeks to rest properly at home and take care of her." Ming explained.
"But—"
Cutting him off, Singtan snapped, "What are you so impatient about? Mian is already yours and no one is going to take her away from you."
"I know that but—"
"The date is fixed and we are not bringing it forward now get the hell out of here before I kick your ass," Singtan snapped harder.
Without waiting for a single second, Zian rushed away. He didn't want to get his ass kicked by his father in front of his wife. Not that Mian added seeing him getting thrashed but he still didn't want to make a fool out of himself.
"He is going to get married honey and he is excited," Ming defended her son like she always did.
"Doesn't he understand that if they get married fast then even Yumi will leave us fast? I don't want my daughter to go anywhere." He frowned.
Raising her brows, Ming gave him a meaningful look. "Do you think that I don't know anything? Really Singtan? We have been married for so many years and you still think that you can keep things away from me?"
"I—I don't know what you are talking about," he denied.
"Sure you don't," she smiled.
Singtan sighed and helplessly shook his head, "Fine, I bought a house for Zixin and Yumi."
"And where is that house?"
He pouted his lips and answered, "Right next door."
"And how did you threaten Zixin?" When he did not say anything, she said, "Singtan—"
"Fine, I told him that if he wants to marry my daughter then he has to stay in the mansion for at least two weeks or may be more."
Ming sighed and helplessly shook her head. "You are unbelievable."
…..
Zian's room.
"Another death?" Zian frowned.
Mian sighed and nodded her head, "Yes and this time it's the patient who was under mom."
"Well, this is really weird."
"Yes, it is very weird and I—I need to go to the hospital."
Grabbing his keys, Zian said, "I'll go with you."
"But you need to pick Yumi up from the company,"
Massaging his forehead, Zian sighed, "Yes, I'll come to the hospital as soon as I fetch Yumi okay?"
