"Mom!"
As Park Jinsuk was playing mahjong, she heard Li Chenglu's angry voice on the phone and laughed.
"Did Xin'an that boy annoy you again?"
The Li and Liu families had already been old friends for over 30 years, and both kids had known each other since birth.
Many years ago, Liu Zhengjiang, who is Xin'an's dad, did indeed discuss with Chenglu's dad about setting up a marriage arrangement for the children, but as soon as Jinsuk found out, she categorically refused.
She detested engagements settled by parents and didn't wish for her child to take that path in the future.
Although because of this Xin'an and Chenglu didn't end up as betrothed, the two families never drifted apart.
In fact... Chenglu could call Liu Zhengjiang and Park Jinsuk 'dad' and 'mom' without any pressure, and likewise, Xin'an could do the same.
"It's not just that he annoyed me, mom, do you know where he's staying now?"
"Eh? You're going to find him?"
"Yes! I've already bought my ticket!"
