483 Pre-Wedding Jitters? (2/2)

”I called Nuannuan, she arranged an appointment for today. I'll be leaving in a while,” informed Qiu Meihui.

Francesca nodded her head. ”Hmm... She is in the city so she can obviously help.”

”Liu Nuan is in An City?” questioned Zhao Wei in surprise. ”I didn't know that.”

Francesca nodded her head, ”I met her at a boutique when I went out with Xiu. But I didn't know she was staying here or not.”

”Since the time she got married, I rarely see her. Before that, she'd often come to meet Xiao Mei. But I think I haven't met her in years now.” Zhao Wei was speaking her mind while Meihui was lost in her own thoughts. Her brother's words from two nights were haunting her.

Suddenly she felt a cold hand touching her forehead and was startled. She lifted her eyes to see her mother and was frozen still. ”Xiao Mei, you don't have a fever.”

”I know that mom.”

”Then why is your complexion so dull? And you look tired as well?” Seeing her concern Qiu Meihui was left in a dilemma. She had already seen how close her own mother was to her daughter. But then how come she wasn't close to her? Was it really like Dylan had said that she never understood mom? ”Xiao Mei? Are you really okay? Should I call a doctor?”

Qiu Meihui placed her hand over hers and shook her head, ”No, mom. I'm really fine. You're just overthinking.”

”Sister Wei, I also think you're overthinking. It must be just some pre-wedding jitters. Don't overreact.” Francesca took a pause before adding, ”You come back here and finish your breakfast.” Then she shifted her eyes to Qiu Meihui and went on, ”Xiao Mei, what about your bachelorette party?”

”I haven't thought about it yet,” replied Qiu Meihui. ”Besides, Nuannuan is the only friend I have contact with after all these years. So, I don't think the bachelorette party would be a good idea.”

”Why not? That's a must!” Zhao Wei and Francesca exclaimed simultaneously.

”Liu Nuan is your bridesmaid, she can call her own friends.”

”We have mutual friends,” replied Qiu Meihui.

”Then just call my daughter-in-law. I assure you, she'll bring the party with herself.”

Zhao Wei laughed at the way Francesca talked about Xiu but couldn't help nodding. ”I totally agree with her. She can even pour life into the dullest moments.”

Qiu Meihui frowned a bit seeing these two ladies gushing over Xiu as she replied, ”She isn't that close to me.”

”How is that possible?!” Both the ladies again were shocked.

”You must haven't tried otherwise, I don't think there is anyone who can escape the charms of my silly but adorable daughter-in-law.”

Qiu Meihui laughed at Francesca's words, ”Aunt, I feel like you are already in love with your daughter-in-law.”

”I sure am,” agreed Francesca without hesitation.
