I looked at her and wondered why exactly she was so eager to put me in a dilemma. Unfortunately, my brain wasn't helping either, I just couldn't come up with anything so I had no choice but, to tell the truth.
"Ahh, I'm an orphan". Everyone at the table looked at me like a lost dog soaked in the rain.
'Aishh, I hate this, why are they all looking at me with such stupid eyes'.
I put on an obviously fake smile and continue eating.
"Alright, no more questions until after dinner". It was Lu Jinho's grandma who spoke and deep down, I was grateful.
'Perfect, after dinner, I'll lie about being tired and go to bed as quickly as I possibly can'.
The rest of the time on the table was pretty comfortable. Most at times were quiet but it wasn't uncomfortable at all. At least not for me. After dinner, grandma Lu asked us to go to the living room for drinks but I honestly wasn't interested and it seems my fiancee could see that.
"Grandma, we'll go upstairs first. She needs to rest".
Before grandma Lu could say anything, the evil witch had already taken over.
"Come on Lu Jinho, we haven't seen you in years, the only time we see you is when you appear on TV. And this is also the first time we are seeing your fian.....your girlfriend".
'Haaaa is this bitch kidding me? What is she scheming right now'.
"She is right Jinho, you both can rest a little bit later huh? Stay with me a little bit more".
'Unbelievable, this family is sh*t'.
We finally settled in the living room and I sat next to Lu Jinho while Yoon Nana who was aunt Meng's daughter sat on the chair next to Lu Jinho.
"So, Shin Suri darling, can you tell us where you schooled?"
'What is wrong with this woman?'
"Waaa! Meng Yi, why does it look like you are so anxious to know everything about her? Are you the one marrying her?"
'I don't know this uncle Lu Jung Min very well, but I sure do like him'.
"Ahhh, sorry dear, am I making you uncomfortable? I just want to know how you managed to sedu..... I mean, win him over. As you know, he hasn't introduced anyone to us in forever".
I couldn't really comprehend what was going on because I don't really know them all so well but is this witch accusing me of seducing him into liking me? Is she crazy?'
"I was homeschooled. After my parents died, I couldn't go to school anymore so I got home schooled instead".
"Haha, why that? It's not like you killed your parents. Right?"
"Meng Yi! How can you ask such a question?"
"Sorry mum, I was just trying to create a conversation".
I didn't say anything. I knew how this kind of people behaved. And I knew that if I said anything else, it would give her the opportunity to ask more stupid questions so I decided to keep quiet.
"We are going upstairs. Goodnight grandma".
He grabbed my hand and began walking away. I bowed to grandma and left with him but before I left, I notice Yoon Nana looking like she was about to cry. It was then that I finally began to understand what exactly was going on.
Yoon Nana like Lu Jinho and her mom knows.
'Haa a sly fox and a white lotus. I'm very sure it's like mother like daughter'.
When we got into the room, Lu Jinho banged the door and I honestly didn't know why he was this agitated.
"I thought you said you could handle them? Why did you let her talk to you like that?"
"Wait a minute, are you mad at me or mad at her? I don't get why you are this fired up".
"You don't understand? What don't you understand? It's basic sense not to let them ride on you".
I was not used to him nagging and I definitely didn't want to hear it right now so I went to the bed and laid down.
"I'm sleepy...let's sleep".
Lu Jinho was beginning to doubt if this was really him or someone else.
'What is wrong with me? Why am I worried about her?'
He went to the bathroom to take a quick shower before coming back to the bed. When he got to the bed, he saw Shin Suri fast asleep so he went to his side of the bed and laid down. But for some reason, he couldn't sleep. Although he had just taken a shower, he felt kind of hot and he didn't understand why. All he knew was he couldn't stop himself from looking at the lady who was sleeping on his bed.
"Have you always been this pretty? I can't even get mad at you when you obviously messed up".
