91 Unreceptive Audience (2/2)

Tang Tingzhe kissed Jiang Huan's forehead and hugged her tightly: ”Thank you Huan! I can't wait to tell Chung the good news. You don't know how much this means to me.”

Jiang Huan hugged Tang Tingzhe back enjoying the warmth of his embrace, she was smiling happily to herself.

Tang Tingzhe was also smiling at having accomplished his first task. He caught his reflection in the tinted window of a car. He shamelessly thought to himself 'Was there any doubt? I mean who could resist?'

Apartment 5 - Living room

Li Xiuying, little 4th and madam Qin were each indulging in a slice of strawberry gateau.

Madam Qin: ”Xiuying how was your day?”

Li Xiuying: ”Fine. Yours?”

Madame Qin looked at her phone and smiled: ”I just got a message from Song. He's such a considerate person. I had forgotten to get something when I was shopping earlier and he offered to go and get it even after working hard for so many hours. He's always one to put his loved one's first.” What madame Qin had neglected to mention was that Qin Song had actually replied that he would get Cao Shan to get the item, but it's the thought that counts right?

Both Li Xiuying and Little 4th frowned at madame Qin.

Madame Qin: ”Song has been that way since I've known him. He's always been accepting of others and understanding. I thought he may be upset and object to me marrying his father but he was the first to give us his blessing.”

The frowns on Li Xiuying's and little 4th's faces deepened.

Madame Qin decided she had said enough about Qin Song for now. Her audience clearly wasn't receptive. She changed the topic of conversation: ”Oh that reminds me! The item that I wanted was actually lobster for a dinner party this Friday. Xiuying if you're not doing anything this Friday evening why don't you come as well? We would love to have you.”

Li Xiuying: ”Sorry, Date.”

Madame Qin was confused: ”Are you not available on that date? Are you working?”

Li Xiuying: ”I have a date.”

Madame Qin: ”A date with a man?”

Little 4th gloated: ”I went shopping with big sister YingYing to pick out her dress for Friday. She looked like a fairy. That was the day Big sister YingYing bought me the paint set and the personalized stationary.” My big sister is the best.

Madame Qin kept her shock well hidden. 'Xiuying is dating?! Song has competition already?! He hasn't even been able to hold a conversation with Dr. Li Yet!!!”

Madame Qin asked with curiosity: ”Xiuying do you know the man? Who is he? What does he do?”

Li Xiuying: ”Not personally. Lawyer.” She didn't elaborate because she didn't know if Ren Daiyu wanted to keep it private.

Madame Qin: ”So its a blind date?”

Li Xiuying nodded.

Little 4th began happily chatting away with Li Xiuying. Of course he already knew that she was going as moral support for his enemy Ren Demon. Otherwise Little 4th would have been the first to protest to sharing his big sister YingYing.

Madame Qin became lost in her thoughts. She would have to get little 4th to tell her all the information regarding Li Xiuying's date, but how? He clearly didn't want to share the information as he never mentioned anything until now.

Madame Qin had a difficult obstacle to conquer i.e. Little 4th's stubbornness. It would be easier to get blood out of a stone than to make little 4th talk when he didn't want to.
