Wanted To Introduce Him To Her Daughter.
"I am already full. This is what happens when you start ageing." She laughed lightly.
"Still..." Zhao Yuhui was not convinced but Mother Zhao stopped her train of thoughts and told her to eat slowly and got up to use the restroom.
While she was walking in the corridor, her eyes fell upon the stain of soup on her coat and wiped it. Just then, she felt an abrupt force on her shoulder and almost stumbled back but was saved by a strong grip on her forearm.
"I am sorry! Are you okay, Mam?"
Mother Zhao looked up after hearing a male voice and found a young man whose face was devoid of any emotions.
There was another man beside him who rolled his eyes at his friend's apology. He pushed him aside and came to stand in front of her. "Oh, great aunt, I am sorry on my friend's part! He sometimes forgets to walk with open eyes so often gets bumped into people. You are not hurt anywhere, are you?"
Mother Zhao smiled at both of them and replied. "I am absolutely fine." Saying this, she walked past them when an idea stroke her. She stopped on her steps and looked back. But the corridor was completely empty now.
She could have introduced any one of them to her daughter! Too bad!
Mother Zhao pouted regrettably and went to do her business.
There was a mysterious glint in Mother Zhao's eyes when she came back. "You know what?"
Zhao Yuhui gazed at her with food in her mouth. "What?"
"I just bumped into two young men who were extremely handsome!"
"So you fell in love at first sight? Which one was it? I did not know you were into younger men." Zhao Yuhui casually picked one of the side dishes and put that in her mouth.
"You ungrateful girl! I was thinking for you. Not for myself!" Mother Zhao was enraged with her daughter's unfiltered mouth. Every time she thought of this girl and got happy, each time her precious daughter didn't miss the chance of pouring freezing water over her excitement!
Only if she could show the same elegance at home as she used in those interviews. What delicate girl? She was a devil from the inside!
"Mom, not again! I am happily living my life being single." Zhao Yuhui rolled her eyes.
"What not again? This is the right time for you to get a boyfriend!"
"I disagree! This is the worst time for me to have a boyfriend."
"And why so?"
"I yet to have achieve success."
"Exactly! You yet to have achieve success. And for that reason, you should get a boyfriend!"
Zhao Yuhui snorted, "Is what you are saying even making sense?"
"It is! Look, you would have someone to support you. Since I can't stay with you all the time, at least there could be someone who would care for you."
At this, Zhao Yuhui stopped putting more food into her mouth and looked blankly at her. "Mom."
"En?"
"Why don't you just say that you need babies to play with now that both me and my brother have grown up?"
"Well..."
"And how could you just want your daughter to get with someone only on the basis of their looks?"
"...if a man is handsome, my grandchildren would have amazing visuals."
"..."
"Even if the husband won't be handsome, my visuals could do Mom!" Zhao Yuhui gritted her teeth.
"You really have the nerve to say that with those visuals of yours!" Mother Zhao was brought into a fit of laughter.
Zhao Yuhui felt unfair. She scoffed as her anger was bestowed upon the chopsticks. "You are the only one who never praises my beauty! If this is how your standards are, I don't even want to meet those men."
Mother Zhao spoke with an inexplicable smile, "We will see that."
Zhao Yuhui turned a blind eye to her mother's weird expressions hereafter. Her mother's imagination could go as far as to future generations! And trust her, she had no interest in knowing that.
In another room.
"Yah! Qin Lixin! You should start behaving politely at least with elder people." Yang Feiyu smacked the back of his friend's neck after they sat down.
"What do you mean? I did apologise." Qin Lixin coolly replied.
Liang Guohua who was pouring a drink for himself heard that and lifted his eyebrows to reveal his brown eyes. "What happened?"
"Guess what? He bumped into a middle-aged lady and when it came to apologising, his voice turned stoic."
Qin Lixin heard that and retorted. "It wasn't stoic!"
"Sure, it wasn't." Yang Feiyu sent him a sarcastic smile.
Liang Guohua ignored the childish banter going on and took out his phone after feeling it vibrate by his thigh. His burrows furrowed when he read the message. "Xu Haotian has again sent the address and timings of tomorrow's event in group chat."
Yang Feiyu averted his focus from Qin Lixin and asked. "Hasn't anybody told him that we won't come tomorrow?"
Liang Guohua stared back at him and shook his head. He then pointed his phone at Qin Lixin. "Weren't you supposed to do that?"
Qin Lixin raised his eyebrow at the former and tried to remember. "Me? When that happened?"
Yang Feiyu landed another smack at his head. "Bas****!! You were the one who told us that you would go to meet him today and tell him,"
"Oh, that?"
"Yes, your majesty!"
"I didn't go so couldn't tell."
"..."
"Again, why are we even friends with him?" Yang Feiyu dramatically wiped the fake sweat around his forehead and looked at Liang Guohua with his fingers pointed at Qin Lixin.
"Even I don't know bro."
Liang Guohua hurriedly put something inside Qin Lixin's mouth when he opened it to reply. Having no other way, Qin Lixin gave out a frustrated groan while chewing.
After eating, Zhao Yuhui paid the bill and came out of the shop to where her mother was standing. She rubbed her hands feeling the cold wind going pass her. "The nights are turning even colder."
"They are."
"Let's hurry back! I want to go under a warm duvet."
They walked to get their car and after being stuck in traffic for two hours, they finally reached the home. Zhao Yuhui was so tired that she hit the bed without changing her clothes.
