Everyone was eagerly waiting for his response. Lu Jinho didn't bother looking at any of them as he had his face glued to his tablet.
"What are you talking about uncle?"
"Well you know, your girlfriend looked really tired just now. Like a pregnant woman would look".
Lu Jinho raised his head and looked at his uncle for a split second and after that, he looked back at his tablet without saying anything else.
Lu Ju Min knew his nephew wasn't enjoying the conversation at all so he decided to back off. Others in the living room still wanted his answer but judging by how nonchalantly he was behaving, so of them came to the conclusion that he didn't really care about her.
After a while, the last person to arrive, Li Sina came in looking astonishingly beautiful. She didn't look like her nonchalant self. This time around, she looked like she was not in the mood to be messed with.
Her mom looked at her for a split second, stood up, and walked away. But Li Sina was already used to this so, it didn't bother her at all.
She walked towards her grandma and gave her a kiss on the cheek while hugging her tightly. Her grandmother laughed as Li Sina was shaking her all around.
"You silly girl, I haven't seen your face in months".
"I'm so sorry grandma, I've been really busy. You won't believe what I got you".
She said as she sat close to her grandmother.
"And what could that possibly be?"
"It's a secret. I'll give it to you when no one is watching. Hey uncle I've missed missed missed you".
"And here I was thinking you were trying to ignore me".
They were laughing and talking about different things. Unknown to them, Quin Li kept looking at them from a hidden distance with a weird emotion written all over her face.
Lu Jinho wasn't interested in the conversation so he excused himself and went upstairs.
When he got to the room, he saw Shin Suri fast asleep. He didn't want to disturb her so he tiptoed to the other side of the bed and lay next to her. Holding her in his arms, in no time, he was also fast asleep.
They both woke up to a knock on the door. Lu Jinho was the first one to wake up so he went to see who was knocking on the door. It was Yoon Nana.
"What do you want?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry to wake you up. Grandma said to bring you down for dinner"
"Mmmm, we'll be....."
"Babe, who is there?"
Both Lu Jinho and Yoon Nana were surprised by what Shin Suri just said but Lu Jinho masked his surprise really well.
"We'll be down in a bit".
He said and slammed the door in her face. Yoon Nana was so mad, she pressed her fingernails to her palm so hard that blood could be seen
Back in the room, Lu Jinho stood looking at Shin Suri. She knew what it was about but she pretended to be oblivious.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why did you say that earlier?"
"What? Who was there?"
"You called me babe on purpose".
"Yes well, we are in your family house right now, it won't make sense if we are too formal".
"We've never been formal".
I didn't know what to say anymore but I didn't want him to win.
"Good, so it's okay for us to be a bit clingy".
He didn't say anything but I definitely saw him smile.
"Do you want to get changed?"
"No, I'm not getting changed. This is the way I'm going".
I knew I was looking extremely ordinary but, I wanted to make someone know that I didn't have to do too much to get what I wanted.
When we got downstairs, everyone was already at the dining table so we took our seats close to each other.
"Waw Shin Suri, you are not wearing any makeup and you still look this awesome. I must admit, I am a bit jealous".
It was Li Sina who spoke and I honestly didn't know why she was complimenting me when we weren't close at all. But I smiled since it was favorable to me.
"Thank you, Li Sina".
"Well, what can I say? My nephew has a very good eye. He chose pure gold".
I was liking this uncle more and more whenever I met him.
"She's not that pretty".
