34 Always Have My Back (2/2)

”Ahh, am I seeing things? Is it my baby sister?”

I looked up to see my second brother walking into the dining room, carrying his suit jacket with his necktie hanging loose. Seems to me, he just got back from the office.

Even though my second brother is in his thirty, he hasn't found his soulmate yet. Well, it's not like he is looking for one anyway. So yes, he is unmarried and childless. Making my parents push blind dates left and right for him. Luckily, he is really good at deflecting their marriage proposal or blind dates, unlike me.

I have a hard time denying my parents requests without feeling guilty. Seeing my second brother reminds me of Tang Liang's desperation for help.

”Mom, is there any way to stop Tang Liang's blind date? We actually have an event that day.” I asked, telling them a white lie. Damn, Tang Liang better be kissing my feet for this.

Hearing the two curse words ”blind date”, my second brother bolted out of the dining room. It was as if he was never there, to begin with. If he hadn't made a comment earlier, I would have thought it was just my parents and me in the dining room.

It's okay, I understand you, my brother. My heart is crying out to run away as well, but my feet are planted on the ground.

”Blind date...” My mom seemed surprised to hear Tang Liang has a blind date. It was that expression at first until her mind started wondering elsewhere.

”Mom, I said Tang Liang's blind date. Tang. Liang.” I made sure to mention his name twice. It was obvious she was thinking about my blind date already.

”Honey, don't tell me you're thinking of setting up a blind date for my princess? She had just returned.” My dad frowned, disapproving the thought of his daughter leaving him again.

”Of course not!” Yun Lan denied, but the thought did cross her mind for a second.

Yes, thank you, dad! Save your princess from those bad men out there!

My dad put down his fork and knife, ”I know you're lying about an 'event,' but since this is your first request in a long time. I will talk to Tang Wang.”
