Volume 1 Chapter 61 We Are Getting Engaged (2/2)
Everyone ordered drinks of their choice except Sia who sat at the end of the coach with a bored expression.
Raising her eyebrow, Su Yan looked at Sia and asked ”Babe, why haven't you ordered yet? Should I help you to order one?”
Shaking her hand lazily, Sia replied nonchalantly ”Just order a juice for me”
Hearing that Su Yan almost laughed loudly. ”Juice? Are you serious?”
leaning lazily against the armchair, Sia replied ”I tend to have a split personality when drunk. I don't want to mess up the party so it's better to have juice than alcohol”
Though amused, Su Yan still did as Sia ordered.
Once the waiter left the room leaving them alone, Sia finally turned her gaze to Su Yan and asked ”Spit it, what's the good news? No-no, let me rephrase my question....what's going between you and ...him” Sia said as she turned her gaze to Si Ming.
With a helpless smile, Si Ming complained ”Is there anything that can escape your eyes?”
Shrugging her shoulder, Sia did not reply.
getting up from the couch, Si Ming walked around the table and stood next to Su Yan.
Hugging her waist, he cleared his throat and announced ”actually the party is not arranged by only Su Yan but instead from both sides to celebrate a piece of happy news. And that good news is...” Intertwining his other hand with Su Yan's, he raised their hand up and said ”We are going to get engaged...soon”
Silence.....
A few seconds passed before everyone finally reacted.
The four boys who were initially sitting rushed to Si Ming and pulled him aside before kicking his ass with their legs.
”Bastard, how could you let us know this good news now? Duffer” Lu Jin yelled while kicking his ass.
”Oww...hey, everything was decided out of blue...you can't blame me for this”
”whatever...you still deserve the beatings” with that said the boys continued to kick Si Ming.
Seeing the boys' action, Sia also had the urge to kick someone.
Jumping up from the couch, she rushed towards the boys and asked excitedly ”Even I want to kick...can I”
Startled, Si Ming turned his head around and asked pitifully ”Sister Sia, how could you have the heart to kick me, you little brother?”
Making a face, Sia smiled sheepishly and said ”Sorry but I really want to kick someone to release my sour mood. Su Yan spoiled by beautiful evening plan and I feel very hurtful because of it but because Su Yan is my friend and also a beauty, I don't have the heart to hit my baby girl so as her fiance who is going to be her other half sooner or later, so on behalf of her, you will have to receive this gift. Now, take it...”
Giving no chance for Si Ming to retaliate, Sia stepped back and kicked him thrice before she walked towards the couch with a satisfied smile.
Rubbing his buttocks, Si Ming glared at Sia and complained ”Bad sister, how can you be cruel?”
with an evil smile on her face, Sia looked at Si Ming and said indifferently ”Keep complaining and I don't mind to give you two more kicks...Ah! and this one will be more powerful”
Staring at Sia resentfully, Si Ming no longer dared to complain let Su Yan help him to the seat.
Not long after when the drinks arrived, everyone held their respective glasses up high and cheered saying ”Cheers to the new couple”
after taking a sip, Sia placed her glass down and looked at Si Ming and Su Yan and asked ”Now tell me...how did you guys end up getting engaged?”
Placing her glass down, Su Yan said ”Oh that...Si Ming's father and my father met each other recently at a business conference and then they became friends. Today he had invited the Si family to have lunch with us and he wanted me to join them. Initially, I thought they were only a collateral family but who would have thought that they would turn out to be the head family. When I saw Si Ming I was pleasantly surprised just like him at the same time, both of our family were also surprised to find that we were friends.
When the elders of the two families were speaking about business, Si Ming and I were bored so we excused and made our way to the garden. While we were having tea we happened to come across an interesting topic so we both were laughing while speaking and both of our family happen to see us having fun together and at the same time they thought we looked compatible so they decided to engage us. Anyway both of us are single so we agreed with the families arrangements”
