Chapter 250 - A mothers pride (2/2)
”She didn't leave her room yet,” she said, Leng Shao slowly sitting down as he intently listened to Su Bei's mother. ”What happened between you two, and why has she locking herself up in her room, hmm?”
Coincidentally, there was tea in front of them. Perhaps, Mrs. Su was already having her tea before she leaves home.
Mrs. Su poured a cup of tea for Leng Shao, the man graciously receiving it from the woman.
”Thank you,” he said, Su Bei's mother nodding, then she sipped her tea.
Leng Shao could not help but feel uneasy and nervous as they sat before each other, talking about Su Bei. Leng Shao, however, mustered his courage so he could at least get some advice from Su Bei's mother.
”Mrs. Su, your daughter, I just met her recently, but I already feel that she is a special person,” he said, Mrs. Su just looking at Leng Shao as he continued talking. ”Now that we are not talking to each other, I felt uneasy, but I came here because I want to prove my innocence.”
”Hmm...” Mrs. Su put down her cup of tea on the table, ”And why would you want to prove your innocence? Have you cheated on my daughter?”
Leng Shao's eyes widened, ”Oh, no, no, Mrs. Su!” Leng Shao could not help but shake his head profusely, ”I would never have the audacity to do so! Even though I am still courting your daughter, I would never--”
Mrs. Su slightly giggled. Leng Shao blinked his eyes a few times as he now noticed that Su Bei's mother was messing with him.
”I'm sorry, I was just teasing you a little,” she said, Leng Shao feeling embarrassed as he averted his gaze away from her. ”I have no idea what had happened, but if you're here, then I could say that you are serious about my daughter, no?”
”Yes.” Leng Shao's answer was firm as a rock. ”I came here because I want to make it up to her. Since Mrs. Su is here, I would like to ask for advice?”
”Ah...” A genuine smile appeared on the woman's face, ”Su Bei...” she trailed off as a sweet expression appeared on her face.
”It is my daughter's first time liking someone, so it is understood that she is surprised and would resort to silence since she would not know what to do.”
”I-I see...”
Leng Shao's face showed a slight hurt expression. Now knowing that it was him that Su Bei liked for the first time, he felt his heart aching to have a misunderstanding because of the video.
”Don't fret,” Mrs. Su said, getting Leng Shao's complete attention. ”I only advise you to be patient with my daughter,” she added, Leng Shao's eyes focused on her mother sitting in front of him.
”You think she would forgive me, Mrs. Su?” Leng Shao asked, the woman playfully shrugging her shoulders to give him an answer.
”I know my daughter, but it is still up to her to make the decision,” she said, Leng Shao heaving a small sigh as his hands turned into tight fists.
”Then I'll do my best to make it up to her--no matter what it takes,” he said, Mrs. Su nodding in approval as he stood up, making Leng Shao stand up as well.
”Then I'll leave you two together then since I would be leaving for work,” she said, taking a deep breath before shouting, her voice echoing in the room. ”Su Bei, you have a visitor!”
”I'm not expecting anyone!” A voice called out, her mother rolling her eyes as she did another shout.
”Leng Shao is here in the living room!”
Silence.
Then suddenly, followed by a loud sound of a door opening and fast sounds of footsteps echoing in the room. The moment Su Bei saw from the second floor that Leng Shao was in front of her mother, her eyes instantly widened to have seen him inside their house.
”L-Leng Shao? When, why, how--?”
Hearing her daughter stammer over her words, Mrs. Su started walking away, the clacking of her heels heard echoing.
”You guys talk it out, I'll be heading out for work.”
The moment they heard the door close, Leng Shao and Su Bei realized that they were now alone in the house together.
Su Bei was still looking down on Leng Shao, as the man looked up at her with sad eyes.
”Su Bei,” she said his name, sweetness etched in his voice. ”Can you come down, please? I want to talk to you.”
Su Bei felt her heart racing. His words echoed in the room, traveling through her ears as she felt her heartstrings being pulled like a tug-of-war.
”Okay,” she agreed, running her hand through her hair as she remembered that she was wearing only a long shirt, ”I need to change into some proper clothes first...”
