Chapter 354 - One Of A Kind Proposal (1/2)
”Hey, stop crying.” Suyin extended her fingers to wipe tears from Wang Shi's eyes. ;
He took hold of her wrist, stopping her and then kissing it. ”I'm not.” Chuckling in emotions, he pulled her close. ”Too much you are. You know, you are the best?”
”Of course I'm.” she waved her hand to the family, beckoning them to join. ”So where's my ring?”
His nose wrinkled, ”Um--”
”Exactly, Shishi. Get my daughter-in-law a ring.” Liu Jeilan said, joining the couple. Suyin coughed, still unsettled by Madam President's endearment. Wang Huang chuckled, then cleared his throat being stared at by his wife. ”What's that for?”
”You sacred the girl, Liu!” a peel of laughter echoed, turning the old lady's cheeks red.
”Oh shut up, Huang.” She cupped Suyin's hand in hers. ”How long will you feel awkward in front of me? Shall I apologize agai--”
”No, please,” Suyin said hurriedly. She sighed, throwing a stern glance at the rest of the family, who were taking pŀėȧsurė in teasing Liu Jeilan. ”Stop it, everyone. You are putting me in a difficult situation.” she looked back at Liu Jeilan. ”Madam President, trust me--”
” Madam President!” Liu Jeilan gasped. ”This is not done. No ways. Sweetheart, call me mom.” she looked at her right where Suyin's mother was standing, ”Your girl is impossible. She's still calling me as if I'm a stranger. Where are those people--” her gaze scanned around, stopping at a man standing away from the family. ”Ah, come forward. We can't delay this anymore.”
The man came forward, holding a file in his hands, and bowed. He then passed the file to Liu Jeilan, instantly moving aside when Wang Huang towered to look. After a minute, the President couple nodded at each other, satisfied as they passed the file to Suyin's parents.
Wang Shi and Suyin both stood there, confused, both questioning each other. Both shook their head.
”Not your set up?” Wang Shi asked and Suyin shook her head again.
Just then, they felt a tug on their clothes and looked down. Honey flashed his biggest grin and winked. ”Credit goes to this genius.”
”Now what are you up to?” Wang Shi grumbled. ;
”Something you will thank me for.” Honey patted himself on the shoulder, but his mischievous grin gave away nothing. Once the file was done circulating amongst the family from both sides, Honey accepted it and took a gracious walk to the dinner table set for the couple, and laid the file open over it. He stood on the chair to get a height.
When none move, he snapped, ”What are you waiting for? Bring them here. We are losing time. Just ten more minutes remaining.”
Before Suyin or Wang Shi could say or ask, the family members split into two groups. Suyin's side, and Wang Shi's side. Each pulling their respective 'candidates' to the table.
Zeng, Fei Hong, James, Evan, and Suyin's parents on Suyin side.
Xiu Mei, Feng Jianyu, Yuyu, Lan, Junjie, Jin, Wang Huang and Liu Jeilan. The furry babies choose to be on Wang Shi's side, their tails wagging when Yuyu and Lan gave them a piece of meat. Bribe. ;
”Alright guys, what is happening here?” Wang Shi asked, picking the file from the table.
”Yeah. None of this was in our plan. Shouldn't you be just leaving us alone by now?” Suyin's voice came strained, almost crying. She had made more plans for the night, but these people were ruining it. ;
”Ducky, why are you so eager to kick us out from here? Just what else what have you planned?” Heat crept from Suyin's cheeks that she had to look anywhere but at Honey. The worst, Zeng, James, and Evan, pursed their lips, suppressing their smile. James winked when his eyes met with hers.
Suyin frowned, 'Corrupt mind.'
Feeling a pull on her arm, she looked as Wang Shi asked for her attention. She leaned to read the contents-- with every line, her heart skipped a beat, warmth spreading her entire being. She looked up to meet Honey's gaze, who was smiling from ear to ear. She could swear she saw a sliver of tear in his eyes, which he immediately covered.
Marriage documents. ;
”You--” coherent words failed to form. Suyin spread her arms, ”Come here, you naughty one.” Honey jumped from the chair, dashing straight into her arms. ”You got this prepared for us.” Not a question, but a sure statement. Only Honey could come up with such an idea to surprise them.
He nudged his nose in her neck, inhaling her. ”When you shared your plan, I came up with my own. Grandma and grandpa helped me. And uncle Juju made last-minute arrangements.” he looked up from her arms, taking out a beautiful ring from his pocket. Suyin looked up in gratitude at her father- and mother-in-law, but couldn't catch Junjie'e eyes as he was standing away from the family, in the back.
”Mom,” Honey pinched the ring between his finger and thumb, ”Will you be my mom?” The question caught her off guard.
Wang Shi looked down at the mother-son duo, frowning next. ”Hey, that's my ring!” Honey immediately clutched it in his fist when Wang Shi tried to take it. ”Bratty, though I love your plan. Good job. I'm proud of you, but you are not having this ring. Give it back. Suyin, I bought this ring for you. It was in my drawer for months.”
”Too bad you never gave her.” Yuyu and Lan came forward. Lan stuffed a piggy bank in Wang Shi's hand, ”We are buying it for Honey bro.” ;
