"Mom, things between me and Nanxi are a bit complicated..."
"Does that mean you actually got married?"
"Yinchu, getting married is a good thing. You should have told me immediately so I could share in your joy. You know I really like Nanxi...you shouldn't have kept it from me..." Xia Zhen took a deep breath; not feeling hurt was impossible!
"Mom, Nanxi and I just got married not too long ago, we were planning to tell you soon. We didn't expect you to find out earlier..."
With a reassuring tone, Lu Yinchu replied, "Mom, believe me, I truly didn't intend to hide it from you! But mom, regarding this matter, please don't tell anyone yet. Also, Nanxi and I have decided to keep our marriage a secret for a while... once I find some time, we will set a date for a wedding ceremony!"
"Why are you hiding your marriage? Even if you don't have time to hold a ceremony now, there's no need to keep it a secret! Aren't we, the Lu Family, proud to have a new daughter-in-law?"
