Chapter 366 - Her happily ever after (1/2)
They're going to love you” Liam assured her but there was no allaying her nerves
Ying Sheng nodded with a simple, ”sure” that revealed her unbelief
”I've never lied to you” he returned with a soft smile
”I know, I'm just worried”
”Why are you so worried?”
”They are your parents and I want to make a good impression.” Liam smiled wider at her declaration and just shook his head before turning the car into the driveway.
The first view of the automatic gates opening up to reveal a mansion that had her gasping out loud.
”Liam,” she called out in shock
”I know it's a bit much but I hope you don't mind” was his reply as if he was apologizing for the house.
She got out of the car and turned circles in her confusion trying to take it all in at once. Liam caught her hand as they walked up the pathway, past the fountain, the landscape dotted with perfectly cut bushes and a lawn that stretched into the distance.
”Liam”
”I know it's a bit much”
”That's an understatement, you should have said something,”
”And have you more worried?” He retorted gently with eyebrows raised
Ying Sheng never had time to retort before the door in front of them opened wide and a blur tackled Liam to the ground, she gaped at the two people on the floor before looking up to find a beautiful woman looking out of the door in fond exasperation at the two.
”Hello Ying Sheng! Nice to meet you again” Liam's mother said excitedly as she pulled Ying Sheng for a hug.
”How are you?”
Ying Sheng smiled and nodded, ”I'm fine…”
She paused as she saw a man who looked exactly like Liam. Mrs Xiao followed her gaze.
”Oh that's Lucas, Liam's twin brother” she gestured at the two wrestling I'm the vestibule casually
Ying Sheng reeled, ”he's a twin?”
”Liam didn't tell you anything did he?” The older woman asked with soft concern in her eyes
Ying Sheng shook her head vigorously, pitching her voice above the din of two grappling boys, ” I don't think that would have helped much but I'd have loved to not look so shocked”
”Just like him,” Mrs. Xiao sighed before waving her in ”come and meet my husband ”
”What about...” She gestured at the two men still grappling on the floor
”They'll find their way in, eventually”
Ying Sheng nodded curtly and followed the older woman into the house.
”Hello” she greeted an older man who bore a strong resemblance to Liam, except with silver hairs at his temples and more laugh lines
”Honey this is Ying Sheng , Liam's girlfriend” Mrs. Xiao introduced them
”So Liam finally came to visit, it's nice to have you bring him home. I thought he hasn't been able to win you yet. I was about to plan his marriage” he replied jocularly
Don't be rude” Mrs. Xiao jostled her husband with a long-suffering sigh
”You know I'm right”
”Hush you” Mrs. Xiao jostled her husband again as the boys walked in
”Hey Dad”
”How's my favorite software developer?” Liam's father exclaimed with a wide smile. ”How're the updates going on your game”
”Liam, you didn't tell Ying Sheng about your family, I can understand you waiting to have this conversation”
”I can't” Liam's brother piped in
”Hush you” Mrs. Xiao glared at him before pinning her eldest son with a glare, ”she's been with you for six months, how do you not tell her these things?”
”I'm sorry?”
”So she doesn't know you created Battle Mage: Songs and Spells.” His twin asked, looking between the two of them
Liam blushed hotly as he said ”No”
Mrs. Xiao g.r.o.a.n.e.d, ”how much had my son told you?”
