4 PM, LI MANSION:
After getting a text from Li Jie saying that he is gonna reach in an hour, zhang xiaoxi started getting ready. Holding a black and red knee length dresses in her hand, she was confused to wear which one.
She wanted LI Jie's friends to like her. She wanted to give a good first impression for them. Though they might have already known everything and might have already seen her on television, this is the first time Li Jie is going to introduce her to someone other than the family and that too as his better half. She wanted this to be right.
Sighing for the nth time, she was about to call her friend and agent Shu Fang
"wait fang fang is going to ask too many questions if I want her to choose a dress. And she will nag again about me being caught by paparazzi if I go out or else, she will tag along without giving me a choice. No no I shouldn't call her.
Zhang xiaoxi, you can't even choose a dress, how come you became an actress. Haizz"- mumbled xiaoxi when suddenly an idea hit her.
Downstairs:
Li Yan who just came home to take a file that he forgot to bring with him to office bumped into xiaoxi who was hopping down the steps with two dresses in each of her hand.
"sister in law, where are you going holding the dresses? Have you forgot the way to your room?"- questioned Li Yan.
"no monkey, I am confused with what to wear and thought I would ask mom to help me in choosing a dress. Mom is downstairs so I am going there"- explained Li Jun.
"are you going out sister in law. Do you want me to drop you?"
"no, I am going out with LI Jie to meet his friends."- answered xiaoxi.
Raising his eyebrows Li Yan teased xiaoxi
"oh, so you are going on a first date with my brother? Hey hey sister in law, you people are too fast. "
Placing his hand on his heart, he dramatically sighed
"oh my my , i can see my niece and nephew playing in the living room"
Rolling her eyes, she pushed Li Yan to a side and went to mother Li who was serving fruits to father Li.
"Sister in law wait, let me select the dress for you---" came Li Yan running.
Looking at both of them running towards her, mother li asked,
"xiaoxi what happened, why are you running like that? Did this monkey tease you again?"
"mom, how can you say that? I was helping sister in law choose a dress for their first date"- said Li Yan shamelessly.
"first date?"- shouted Father Li.
Looking at father Li's reaction, zhang xiaoxi bowed her head and blushed.
Not knowing how to do deal with these two father and son pair, mother li glared at them and snapped-
"why are you both shouting? Hey, monkey you don't even have a date and yet you are choosing a dress for your brother's date? What a joke.
And you, when was the last time you took me on a date and why the hell are you shouting if my son and his wife are going on a date?
Everyone is not like you; some people can be romantic too"
"xiaoxi, let's go to your room, mom will help you in getting ready."- said mother li who then took xiaoxi's hand and went upstairs leaving father Li and Li Yan stunned.
Li Jie & Xiaoxi bedroom:
Closing the door, mother Li squealed and hugged xiaoxi.
Confused by mother li's reaction, xiaoxi asked mother Li
"mom, what happened?"
Pulling away from the hug, mother li. Held xiaoxi's hand and exclaimed,
"nothing child, mom is just happy to see you both going out. Forget about me. Did Li Jie tell you where he is taking you?"
"mom he told me that we are going to meet his friends and asked me to get ready."
"you are meeting his friends? Great, I don't have to worry about anything from now on. They are just like Li Jie and Li Yan to me.
They are all childhood friends, and some are college mates, but everyone is so close to each other. They will take really good care of you.
You don't have to worry about anything.
Actually, the one that should worry is Li Jie because those guys will let you know all the things that are embarrassing about Li Jie."
"now let's get you ready."
5PM:
When Li Jie came home, mother Li, father Li and Li Yan were sitting in the living room watching television. As soon as Li Yan saw Li Jie, he ran to him and started pestering him.
"bro, I have heard that you are taking sister in law to a date. Wow, brother I have never imagined you to be too romantic. I want to be your wife too." Li Yan said fake blushing.
Looking at their younger son behaviour mother Li and Father Li shook their head and sighed.
"I don't want Xiaoxi kind of girl for Li Yan. if Li Yan's wife have same level of patience as xiaoxi, then that girl will be doomed by this fellows' antics. I want someone who can grip him in her hands and make him dance on her fingers."- whispered mother Li to father Li.
"oh, you mean you want your younger daughter in law to be same as you. I get it."- sighed father Li which earned a threatening glare from mother Li.
Meanwhile Li jie who was already flustered with the business trip thing gave a deathly glare to his brother.
Receiving a warning from his brother, Li Yan immediately rushed to his parents and sat obediently. Understanding his son's mood, father Li said
"jie, xiaoxi has been waiting for you. She is upstairs in your room. Go don't let her wait too long."
Nodding at his father, Li Jie made his way upstairs.
"seems like your elder son is in bad mood, do you think he will take away my yearly bonus? Did my teasing go overboard?"- Li Yan asked his parents.
Looking at Li Yan, mother Li and father Li Slapped their foreheads lightly and sighed.
