The boogey man frowned slightly as he looked at his reddish palm that she slapped earlier. His eyes reddened as he walked the opposite direction of her. 'Karma is definitely a bitch.'
Meanwhile, in Langrania restaurant, Ya Nuo is enjoying her favorite fish maw soup and Huan Hei is staring at his bowl of soup that had onions on top. Ya Nuo stopped drinking her soup when she saw that he wasn't drinking it at all.
”What's wrong? Is the soup not to your liking? Should we order something else?”
”No, it's nothing. Just that...” he looked at the onions in his bowl with a helpless smile.
She smiled and put his bowl in front of her. ”Geez, ever since you were young, you never liked onions. Anything with onions on top would make you stop eating. I'll help you take out the onions and add some seasoning to it.”
She carefully took out onions and triple checked before sprinkling pepper and other seasonings into the soup. After tasting it, she handed him the bowl with a bright smile, ”Don't waste good food just because of the onions. Try the soup now. I added a few seasoning here and there, the taste should be okay now.”
”Mm..” he took a sip of the bowl and smiled.
”Hehe, I might not be as good as a chef, but seasoning is always my forte. I'll take out the onions from the remaining soup and add the seasonings to it.” she hummed as she carefully took out pieces of onions from the soup.
'She's always so sweet to people she cares for... silly girl, hurry up and realize my feelings for you.. if not, I'll start making moves on you.'
”Done! Now you can eat in ease~”
”Thanks.”
”so? so? Do you like the soup more now?”
”Yep. It's tastes sweet.”
”...Huh?? What?? Did I mix up salt and sugar again? ehhhhhh if it is sweet then don't drink it.”
He quickly finished the soup in his bowl, ”Nope. All done.”
”You didn't have to force it down if it doesn't taste good you know?”
”It tasted delicious.” he smiled.

”Ah, sorry Nuo, I have to take this call. It's my mom.”
”Mmm.” she nodded as she enjoyed her beef dish.
He walked out of the restaurant and sighed, ”Yes mom?”
”Son! What are you doing right now?”
”Nothing. Just eating.”
”You have the time to eat with others, but can't attend any of the match making sessions I prepared for you?? Who are you with? Is it a girl?”
”Mom, I told you to not interfere with my privacy. I'm not even in college yet. I don't need to meet any of those matched girls you have in hand.”
”You know your father is in bad health. We are waiting for you to finish your education so you can take over the corporation. Your father might not be able to handle it for that long. Remember, you don't need to choose your wife now. It's good to have choices.”
”Mom, I don't need anyone to set me up for my future spouse. When it's time, I'll meet her and get married. It will only be fate that brings us together. I need to go now. I'll talk to you later.”
”Son... never mind, you do you. Just remember your identity and duty.”
”I know. I need to go. Bye mom.” her turned around and smiled after seeing Ya Nuo's joyful face while eating her food through the glass window.
'Nuo, Prepare for my many upcoming hints. I won't rush you, but I will make it obvious of how much I love you. I'll always protect you.'
