Chapter 182 - Hes joking! (1/2)

Meanwhile, DX was having a troublesome lunch as well.

He thought that with the presence of Callum and Song Qiao, he would be able to have a peaceful lunch.

However, his mother was adamant in her quest to find him a wife.

"CEO Liu just sent us the invitation to his youngest son's wedding. XiAn, do you remember the boy? He used to come over to play with Callum."

"No," answered DX honestly. He had never cared much for most of Callum's friends.

Old Madam Du looked wistfully at Song Qiao before sighing dramatically, "Qiao Qiao, when can I attend my own son's wedding? With the rate way things are going, I'd be meeting his father in heaven before I get to see my daughter-in-law."

A lesser man would have rolled his eyes at the carefully disguised threat. However, DX being DX, merely ignored his mother. He was used to all her tricks.

Song Qiao smiled and took Old Madam Du's hand, "Old Madam Du, I'm sure President Du is doing his best to find someone for you."

Old Madam Du lamented, "If he is doing his best, he would have given me some grandbabies to play with."

Callum glanced at DX who continued to eat without any care. Since the latter did not care about protecting himself, he decided to help him out.

"XiAn has given you a pair of twins to play with..."

She huffed, "How is that the same? They came to us when they were already 6! I didn't get to have the chance to play with them when they were babies."

DX thought about his mother's words. Truth be told, he felt the same way as her. As a father, he loved his sons dearly.

However, sometimes he wished that they came to him earlier. There were barely any pictures of the boys from when they were babies.

Even among the limited amount of pictures that they managed to find, they were all pictures of Jack.

That cruel woman not only sold Lyle off. She basically treated him as if he did not exist at all.

As he thought about his eldest son's misfortune, he gritted his teeth.

Not having them by his side from the very beginning was one of the regrets he had in life.

He gave a quick glance to his mother who was still being dramatic.

"If I have another child..." thought DX while he ate quietly.

If Kai Xin gave him a son or a daughter, he would be more like a new father than an experienced one.

Thinking about the possibility of having a child with the woman he loved more than anything else, DX's lips twitched slightly as he tried to contain his excitement.

Being thoughtful, Song Qiao tried to direct the discussion away to something else.

"Old Madam Du, I found something interesting today."

Old Madam Du smiled at her and said, "Qiao Qiao, I've told you before. Call me Ma. It's only a matter of time before my son opens his eyes. Besides, I've always thought of you as my daughter."

Song Qiao blushed. She glanced coyly at DX before saying,

"M-Ma..."

Knowing that this would not do anyone any good, DX placed his chopsticks down and said sternly, "Old Madam Du, please stop."

"You bad boy! How long do you intend to make me wait before you get married? You know that Qiao Qiao has been waiting for you! She's not getting any younger!"

He ignored everything his mother said about Song Qiao and replied, "K and I have our plans."

"K?!" snapped Old Madam Du. She slapped her chopsticks down angrily before continuing, "I would never agree to a man as your spouse."

"Unfortunately, K is all you would get. I have no intention of marrying someone else."

Song Qiao looked down sadly at her hands which were resting on her laps. At the corner of her eyes were beads of tears that were about to fall.

Even though she tried to hide it, Old Madam Du saw her action. Glaring at her son, she declared angrily,

"I will only take a woman like Song Qiao as my daughter-in-law. Not a man of unknown origin."

DX calmly blotted his lips with a napkin before standing up.

"Callum, I have an urgent matter to attend to. Please deal with my mother."

Song Qiao stood up and grabbed his arm, "XiAn! Please don't go! Ma is only joking with you."

Without any expression on his face, DX gently pulled her hand away, "Qiao Qiao, Callum would send you back to the office later."
