The chauffeur drove them towards his parents house and the journey was a silent one. When they reached the house, Li Fei suddenly started feeling nervous. She knew his parents didn't have any problem with her but she couldn't help it. "You don't have to worry about anything," he told her when he saw her uneasiness and she nodded.
Getting out of the car, they walked inside the house and he led her to the parlour as he instructed a maid to inform his parents that they were here.
When Mrs Jin came, she exclaimed," Xiao Jin, what a surprise!"
"Mother please, don't call me that," he said and she rolled her eyes before looking at Li Fei and said," I'm so happy to see you, Li Fei."
As she was standing up to greet her, she said," Don't bother dear. Please remain seated."
Taking a seat that was facing them, she said," Why didn't you inform us that you were coming? I would have prepared beforehand."
"We wanted to catch you by surprise," said Jin Liwei. "Indeed you have," she said before looking at Li Fei and said, "Li Fei, first tell me. Is what my son told us the truth? That you two are together?"
When she nodded shyly, Ms Jin said," That is so great! I knew it from the beginning."
"Where's father?" "He went to catch up with some friends and will be back in the evening. Since you didn't inform us that you were coming, you're going to spend the night, right?" she asked. Jin Liwei looked at Li Fei who showed him that it's okay and he agreed.
When it was lunch time, they went to the dining room. "I promise to prepare a feast during dinner," Ms Jin said to Li Fei and she was surprised because there were a lot of dishes at the table.
When it clocked evening, Mr Jin came back and he was equally surprised to see them here.
"What a surprise, why didn't you call and let me know that you were here?" he asked as a maid got his coat and brief case.
Li Fei immediately stood up and bowed her head before greeting him," Good evening senior Mr Jin. It's so nice to see you." "Good evening. It's been so long...Li Fei," he said when he remembered her name.
When he took his seat, Li Fei sat back and said, "It's just that a lot has been going on and I hadn't yet gotten the right time to visit you. I'm really sorry." "It is really okay. We understand." he replied.
"Xiao Jin and Li Fei are together," Mrs Jin informed her husband. "That is perfect. When is the wedding because I personally can't wait to see my grandchildren," he said and Li Fei looked at Jin Liwei.
"Of course we shall have the wedding. We just haven't thought of the dates yet," said Jin Liwei.
"I think you should hurry on that. We don't have much time left," said senior Mr Jin.
When night came, Mrs Jin refused the idea of the two sharing a room in her house because they were not married. Leading Li Fei to one of the guest rooms, she said," This is where you're going to spend the night. I believe everything is here but incase you find anything missing, don't hesitate to let me know." She nodded before saying," Good night Mrs Jin."
She turned to walk away when she came back to say," Li Fei thank you so much."
"For what Ms Jin?" "For helping us and loving our son. We can see that he is happy and it's all because of you," she said.
"On the contrary Mrs Jin, I should be the one thanking you for giving birth to a wonderful person. He loves me overwhelmingly and unconditionally," she said. "I'm glad and I wish the best for the both of you. Have a good night sleep," she said and she nodded before leaving the room.
In the morning when the four were done with breakfast, Ms Jin said," I was thinking, why don't we set up the wedding dates right here?"
"We shall have to talk about it first mother," Jin Liwei said.
"It won't cost anything if we do it right here. I know how you young people are, you're going to get busy with work and forget about it."
Li Fei said this time," It is alright Ms Jin."
"That is my daughter in law! When would you like to get married?" She replied, "I honestly don't know since we've not talked about it."
"Okay then let me decide for you. The wedding will be in two months and I will choose the exact date later. Leave all the preparations to me," she let them know. Li Fei although not sure about it nodded. She just couldn't defy the words of her mother in law.
When they were heading back, Jin Liwei said," You don't have to accept everything they want. Let's just ignore her words." "I don't think it's a bad idea. Let's do as they say," she said removing her head from his shoulder to look outside.
"Jin Liwei! You remember this place?!" she exclaimed. "No, what about it?" he asked.
Her eyes narrowed and she turned to look at him to say," You mean you don't remember anything special about this place?" He tried hard to think before saying," I honestly don't remember anything. Tell me." She pouted her lips and crossed her hands before placing them on her chest and she said," It's nothing."
Seeing her reaction, he lightly chuckled and said," Of course I remember. I was only teasing you."
She looked at him and asked," Really?" "Yes. I would never forget that we spent a night here when the car broke down." She smiled at it and asked," Tell me, did you have feelings for me at that time?" "I was in the process of realisation by that time. Obviously I had feelings for you by then," he said.
She wrapped her hands around his waist and said," It had honestly hurt me when you said you didn't remember yet I keep those memories so precious to me."
"I was only pulling your leg. I would never forget," he said.
...
Leaving the study room, Jin Liwei walked to the bathroom to have a bath.
Standing below the shower as his body was drenching in water, he felt soft hands wrap around his waist and his body stiffened. What was she doing here? He then felt her soft lips raining kisses on his back and when she pressed her body onto his, he could feel her erect nipples rubbing onto his back.
