571 Tea Talk (2/2)

Su Feifei hummed softly before asking, ”Give me the details of the mission and let me see what I can do?”

”It's top secret. Can't you just sign the permission letter?”

”Then how about trading something for that permission letter?”

Ying's brows furrowed up. ”What is it?”

Placing her phone before Ying's eyes, she went on, ”Tell me where did this boyfriend come from? Not that I mind though, he is pretty cute and most importantly have a very clean record.”

”Did you actually looked through his background?” Ying was feeling irritated suddenly.

”Hold your horses! He is my best friend's nephew. I've been hearing about him since he was a young kid. His uncle is his background. I didn't need to do anything.”

Ying finally relaxed and leaned back in her chair.

”So? He is really the boyfriend?”

”Do you have any doubt?” retorted Ying knowingly.

”No, I don't. But I do wonder if you really like him or not?”

Ying snickered, ”If I didn't like him, why would I even date him?”

”I just don't want you to rush up with this stuff just because your grandmother had been pushing you incessantly. It's about your life. It's about your happiness. And don't forget, for this aunt of yours, your happiness is all that matters. I would never want my niece to take a decision against her wishes.”

Ying couldn't help smiling at her. There was a rare kind of expression on Su Feifei's face. Although Ying always knew that her aunt loved her dearly, today she just felt it even more greatly. Unlike her grandmother, this woman would never force her to do anything she never wanted to. In fact, she knew that if she said it once, Su Feifei wouldn't hesitate before going against Shania Chuan.

Ying extended her hand and placed it on top of Su Feifei's as she said honestly, ”Aunt, I didn't decide to date him because I was under some pressure. I'm raised by you, how can I give in so easily? I'm pretty stubborn like you.” Su Feifei's smiled gently at her but didn't speak, letting Ying continue, ”This is all that idiot's fault who came like a storm in my life started wreaking havoc in my heart. I don't know what is it about it, I'm supposed to push him away but he somehow kept sneaking in. There is something about the way he says he loves me that I'm not able to reject his advances.”

Taking a deep breath, she added, ”Maybe I'm fickle. Or maybe for once, I want to be loved and not to be the one who loves. Does that make sense?”

Su Feifei stood up from her leather chair and came around the desk to rub her niece's head. ”It makes a lot more sense to me now.” She kissed her forehead and asked, ”Tell me honestly, does he make you happy?”

”He does,” answered Ying.

Su Feifei ruffled her hair. ”Then that's enough for this aunt of yours.” Saying that she went back to her seat and added, ”I'm gonna sign that permission letter.”

”Thanks!”

Su Feifei waved her off but didn't forget to mention, ”Oh, by the way, you should check up on your godfather. I heard he had been absent for two days. Someone even mentioned that he is sick.”

Ying's expressions changed as she hurriedly stood up and said, ”Why didn't you tell me earlier?”

Seeing how her niece ran off without even getting her permission letter that she came for, Su Feifei shook her head as she muttered, ”I was being selfish. Because I wanted my niece to sit down with me for a while as well. If I told you earlier, you wouldn't have stuck around for tea talk.”
