As promised immediately after work,Zhou Ting arrived at Mo Xiaye 's doorstep at exactly 6pm not late nor early just on time.
" You are on time. Do you want to come in first, or should we just go directly?." Mo Xiaye asked a little unsure how to proceed while standing awkwardly by the door.
Who could blame her, it's already been more than twenty years since she last went on a date. It's not like there was a manual depicting what should and shouldn't be done while on dates.
" Alright. I'll come in for a bit so take your time to prepare." Zhou Ting said to Mo Xiaye who immediately stepped aside to let him into the house and also at the same time thanking Zhou Ting in her heart for helping her out without even knowing. He really was her knight in shinning armour.
Thinking that in her heart and with a spring in her steps, she quickly grabbed her purse and then double checked her makeup even though the make up in question was just powder and lip gloss. She made a mental note to ask Mo Ning about the latest and safest make up products available in the market.
" I'm ready we can go now." She said as she came out of her room to see Zhou Ting looking at the pictures scattered all around the living room.
" If you like,you can stop by some other time and I'll bring out the photo album at home for you to see. We can also canccel the date tonight if you want to do that instead." Although she wouldn't admit it for anything in the world, she did feel guilty which was shut she added the last part of the sentence. She knew that until both father and daughter were reunited, she could never really get rid of the constant guilt she felt towards him.
" That won't be neccesary. I can just stop by and see them some other time. For now, let's go on that date. " He said before giving her a once over. " and have I told you how lovely you are tonight? well ...don't misunderstand I didn't mean it in that way. You always look lovely just that you look extra lovely with the extra effort ..... sigh okay I'm rambling lets get going before we are late for our reservation."
Mo Xiaye couldn't help getting red in the face although he said he was rambling , couldn't he tell how sweet his rambling was being? making her blush like a teenager . Now she knew exactly where Mo Ning got that sweet mouth from.
" Alright " she managed.
Seeing how red her cheeks were, Zhou Ting couldn't stop himself from opening his mouth to ask if she was sick. It was only after seeing her reaction to his question that he realized that he shouldn't have opened his mouth in the first place. He made a mental note to consult both his secretaries . They must have more experience with things like this since they both had wives and girlfrriends
Seeing this two,who would think them to be somebody's parent's and not just overgrown teenagers? We may never know the answer to that.
