"You do like Mr Luo right?" Joreen asked her mother as they prepared to leave the house to go hang out with him and his daughter.
The question took Cixi aback.
"That...was quite...an unexpected question."
"But you like him right?" Joreen pried.
"Well... We could... say that" Cixi tried to focus on wearing her earring instead of the startling question Joreen was asking her.
"I think he likes you too. Reen told me on the phone that he always spoke about you at home."
"Oh...she did?" Cixi tried not to sound interested but it did not work because she turned to face Joreen.
"She did. Reen told me she likes you. I also like Mr Luo."
"She's a sweet girl" Cixi said before standing up from the chair she was sitting on.
"You both been having fun gossiping us?"
"Yes. You sounded happy when you spoke with him on the phone earlier. You also looked happy when you danced with him on big sis' wedding two days ago."
