Ai Lin stared at the crowds at the arrival hall with soulless eyes. She looked haggard and there were obvious dark circles under her eyes. She only followed Mu Zihan steps helplessly.
Last night, she was so restless thinking about the meeting between her and his parents which resulted her to not get sufficient sleep. She only fell asleep when the sun started to rise. However, in a very early morning, she was awakened by the excited Mu Zihan and was dragged to the airport without any room for rebuttal.
In contrast, Mu Zihan who had his hand wrapped around her waist was full with vigour. He walked energetically with his lips curled up. His charming smile blinded all the onlookers. To those who'd known him would tremble in fear if they saw his happy face right now because usually his smile would only indicate to one thing; death. Fortunately there was none of them at the airport right now.
Ai Lin was in a deep thinking. Why must he brought her to meet his parents today? They only confirmed their relationship a few weeks ago and now he wanted her to meet them? Would they accept her or reject her? She aware that between her and him there was a huge gap in status and she couldn't help but worried.
However, she clearly knew that sooner or later she would have to meet them if she wanted to get together with their son. Hence, she cleared her mind and filled her mind with positive vibes. Yeah, it's better to meet now so it wouldn't be too hurt if they had to separate later.
Noticing her silence, Mu Zihan looked at Ai Lin worriedly. Her tiny face was pale and there was dark circle on it. He was too excited to introduce his fiancée to his parents and thus forgetting her anxiety as this would be the first time she met her future mother and father in law. He'd been too reckless in this matter.
" Darling, are you okay? Your face looks pale. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
He cupped her face and stroked her cheeks softy. His gaze was full with adore towards her.
Ai Lin snapped out from her deep thinking when his warm hands touched her face. She shook her head and said, " I'm okay. I'm just tired."
" Do you want to take a rest first? Let's find a café so you can rest. Or should we go to a nearby hotel?"
She stared at him amusingly. The way his brain worked really 'unique'. Tired then booked a hotel room? Why not went straight to his parents' house and took a rest there? Spendthrift!
" No need. I'm really fine."
" You sure?"
" Enn. Let's go or we will be late. We haven't buy gifts for your parents yet." She took his hands down and held it in hers.
" It's okay, I already asked Lu Ming to buy it for us. There he is."
Mu Zihan pointed at Secretary Lu who was standing among the crowds and walked toward him.
" How can you asked Secretary Lu to do that? The gifts are for my fiancé's parents. It should be me who buy it."
" Nevermind. Either way is fine."
" It's not fine! What if your parents know? What will they say? You want them to blame me and have bad impression of me? This is all your fault. If you tell me earlier, I can prepare. But now… It's all your fault!"
" Alright, alright. I'm at fault. I'm sorry. Don't be mad anymore. I will bring you to buy another gifts after this."
There's suddenly flowers bloomed inside him when he saw her anxiousness. Although he was nagged by her but he's all smile. He thought she was uninterested to meet his parents and didn't like the idea because she kept mum on the whole way here. But now looking at her nervousness made him happy. Especially when she mention ' my fiancé'. He felt sweet and warm inside. But it would be sweeter and warmer if she said 'my husband'. Oh my, how sweet would it be.
" Let me take a look at what Secretary Lu bought first or else it will be redundant if I buy the same gift. It'll be a waste then."
" Okay, I'll listen to my darling."
=====================
" Is there a Bloom boutique in this mall? I think your mom will like their clothes." Ai Lin asked Mu Zihan. Now, they were strolling around in Imperial Mall. Based on Mu Zihan, this was the biggest mall in A nation and located near to Mu's mansion.
" There is one here. Do you like Bloom's clothes as well? Their designs are unique yet it enunciates elegance in each of their designs. I rarely bought clothes at boutique but the times I bought from the boutique are all from Bloom. Although their boutique has one of the smallest shop lot here, but they have the highest sales and profits. It's still unknown who is the designer and the owner of Bloom but the rumours said it is the same person. Whoever it is, all I can say is brilliant."
Ai Lin nodded and chuckled at the same time. " I know right. The person behind Bloom is truly brilliant. But how do you know Bloom has the highest sales and profits? I don't think it is made known to public."
" Of course I know. Imperial Mall is under Royal's."
Royal's was a giant business organization and it was well known in a whole wide world. It ranked first in Asia and ranked fourth in the entire world. It had many subsidiaries and involved in several types of businesses. Their main businesses were oil and gas. Others like Imperial Mall were only their side businesses.
" And so what it has to do with you?"
" I'm the owner of Royal's."
" Hahahaha. Your joke is really funny. I saw you spent most of your time at home and now you claimed you're the owner of Royal's. If the real owner knows what you'd said he or she will look down at you."
" I'm serious though."
