Chapter 30 - I Am Too Young (1/2)
It was a sunny weekend. The sky was clear, and the weather outside was neither too hot.
Li Qin Yao stood in front of the mirror to check on the mint green dress she on her hand. She moved around in front of the mirror and looked at her laptop, which was not far away. ”Yue Xiu, what do you think? Is this dress good enough for me to wear for dinner?”
On the screen, her best friend, Han Yue Xiu, was seen munching some potato chips. Since it was the weekend, Han Yue Xiu was dressed in a t-shirt and shorts. Her long hair was unkempt. The girl switched her gaze from the TV towards her laptop screen to see the dress Li Qin Yao was wearing.
After looking at her friend turned the dress back and forth. Han, Han Yue Xiu gave her feedback. ”Not bad. That dress looks sweet on you.”
Li Qin Yao glanced towards her bed, where a few other clothes were scattered. Her eyes stopped at the cute blue blouse with a flowery pattern which she was planning to match with white pants. Li Qin Yao gaze stayed at the clothes for a few seconds longer as she hesitated.
”Why are you still hesitating,” Han Yue Xiu asked. ”That dress is cute and appropriate. You're too worried. It's not like you have never met Chen Hao's parents before.”
”I know,” Li Qin Yao said with a sigh. ”But I wanted to give his parents a good impression on me, especially to her mother. I don't know. I don't think she likes me very much. And it's your fault.”
”Me?” Han Yue Xiu pointed a finger to her chest. ”How is it my fault? What did I do?”
”The last time you mentioned that Chen Hao had canceled his date with me because of his mother. Since then, I had a thought that perhaps, his mother did not like me very much,” Li Qin Yao said.
Han Yue Xiu rolled her eyes. She clipped a piece of potato chips with a chopstick and shoved it into her mouth. ”So, what if his mother didn't like you much? Are you dating Chen Hao or his mother?”
”A relationship isn't just a matter of two-person, Yue Xiu,” Li Qin Yao said. ”Just because two people are so in love with each other, it doesn't mean that the relationship will last. For example, if your mother-in-law did not like you, do you think a couple would have a happy marriage?”
Han Yue Xiu thought about her friend's words for a while as she continued to eat her chips. ”You're thinking of marrying Chen Hao?”
”I don't date without marriage as the prospect. That would be wasting my time.”
”Hmm,” she picked up another chip.
Hearing that sound, Li Qin Yao turned to the laptop. ”What is it? What does that 'hmm' mean?”
”Nothing,” Han Yue Xiu waved a hand. ”It's just that... We never talk about this matter before.”
Li Qin Yao paused in the middle of changing. ”You're right. We never really talk about this. To tell you the truth, I never thought much about marriage until I dated Chen Hao. In the past few years, I was too busy with QL Group to think about these things.”
