"Oh that rascal! So eager! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Fan Grandpa laughed good-naturedly.
"Oh he is Elder Fan! It's just unfortunately, he is attending the two days Asian Business Summit in Country J and he also needs to stay there for more than two weeks for the development and extension of the company's branch in that country. But I can assure you, my son would wanted to be here right now. But of course, he also needs to work hard for their future much especially he has a lot to prove to my beautiful daughter in law! Fu fu fu." Su Meixi once again replied.
Fan Xifeng being the center of conversation felt slightly awkward. Everyone would, much if it concern her marriage life. However, she tried hard not to show her discomfort and could only smile politely not to offend Su Meixi and embarrassed her family in the process.
Su Meixi having to realized this, started to like the young woman not only because she's very beautiful but because she observed she's a virtuous young woman.
Exterior beauty is good but this time, one would also realized that exterior beauty could only make up temporarily for a person. Despite the exterior beauty, if a person rather acted manner less, then it won't take long for that same person to be hated or dislike by others. After all, a beautiful shell without a good pearl inside remains just… a shell.
Since she believes that this daughter in law is well-suited for her son, Su Meixu of course would grab every opportunity just to market him to her.
"Your brother Han Ziwei had always been a good boy since when he was younger. Although a little bit…you know hard-headed because he already shows early signs of being independent, he was in summary, a good son to us. Let me tell you a very short story." Su Meixi cleared her throat and after seeing everyone's ears perk up to listen, she silently 'Fu, fu, fu.'
"When your Han Ziwei's brother was just seven years old, I was frustrated! You know why? Because he hates being kissed by me anymore! He was just still a baby and yet he acted like a big guy! This mother's heart breaks into a thousand pieces." Su Meixi once again paused, as if pacifying her emotion.
Everyone from the Fan: 'Su Madam is not just only obsessed with beauty but also is a very dramatic person!'
Han Boyuan: 'Wife!'
"One day, when we told him that he was arranged to marry you…" once again she paused and turned to look at Fan Xifeng, "it's just expected of him because he already has a mind of his own when he was younger but don't be offended, okay?"
Fan Xifeng nodded. " Well, he threw a tantrum. He walked out of the study and closed the door strongly, made a mess in his room and didn't eat for a day! Oh that boy!"
Fan Family: 'Seriously, were you really not thinking that we won't be offended after hearing this?'
Seeing their expression, Su Meixi laugh, expecting this despite her earlier advance apologies. "That's why to coax him, I made a deal. We will bring him to the Fan Mansion and let him see the little Feng Feng. And if he still won't like Feng Feng, then we would talk to his grandfather, who was still alive then to consider the arranged marriage. But don't worry, that was just in order to coax him to eat. He he."
The Fan elders and Fan couple nodded as if remembering a memory. Fan Xifeng however frowned. 'What does it mean? She had met brother Han Ziwei when she was still a little kid and maybe because she was very much younger then, that she never even remember about it?' Fan Xifeng now interested of what happened next look at Su Meixi, as if urging her to continue.
Seeing this, Su Meixi couldn't become even more proud of herself. "When he saw you, " Su Meixi had to paused once again and gushed over little Fan Xifeng in her memory, "Oh goodness! You are already beautiful when you were just a little girl! Your cheeks are so puffy it looks like a very soft bun! You were like a soft walking bun… but a beautiful walking bun then!"
The Fan elders and Fan couple after being reminded of this adorable memory of the little Fan Xifeng were also lost in a bubble of sweet reminiscence.
"After he saw you, he just stared at you. And you know what you did then? You approached us and took his hand and called him "Bwather (brother) Han Ziwei. I, Feng Feng will mewy (marry) you!"
The Fan family could only clear their throats because indeed, this actually happened! They used to tell Fan Xifeng even when she was still younger that she is going to marry her brother Han Ziwei because he will protect her. When that little Fan Xifeng saw that her brother Han Ziwei was a cute and handsome little boy, of course the little girl's concept of good-looking person and good-natured person is the same. That's the background of her brazen statement.
"Fu fu fu! You were such an aggressive little girl even your brother Han Ziwei blushed! I saw how his ears and face turned pink! He didn't answer you or even tried to play with you and after we got home, he ate as usual, study as usual but we never again saw his dissatisfaction by that marriage arrangement. Silence is a big yes, right?!" Su Meixi concluded with a proud attitude.
Fan Xifeng however thought, 'If that's the case, then why is it according to what Fan Xiaodan told ne then, Han Ziwei was an arrogant boy who even called my specially hand-wrapped gift for him 'tacky'?'
She glance at Fan Xiaodan, however, her younger sister wasn't looking at her. 'Strange, why I am thinking bad of my younger sister? She was just around ten years old then and little children still don't know how to lie or make up stories right? And if so, why would even her younger sister do it? Unless...… unless.' Fan Xifeng shook her head as if shooing the dirty thoughts out. Now she's even more guilty thinking like this towards her younger sister.
"When will brother Han Ziwei return exactly?" She asked in a polite tone.
'Asking something about her son only shows that the other party finally started to be interested! Great! Such good start!' Su Meixi thought in joy.
"Late afternoon of nineteenth this month. Unfortunately he won't make it to your birthday party but for sure, he will make it to the time of the engagement. I hope you could understand. In fact, he will only return for the engagement. After that, he will still be back to Country J to finalized the branch extension and in order for him to finally return back here to plan your marriage this year."
Fan Xifeng was shocked. Shocked because from that dream she learned that supposedly, if the car accident didn't happen, then Han Ziwei was supposed to return to Country J. Although she didn't know the purpose then, yet, this piece of same, almost the same information shook her whole person!
'Oh. My... God!'
