Chapter 122 - Han Yue Xiu Entered His Trap (1/2)
After talking to her grandmother and greeting her grandfather, Li Qin Yao excused herself to return to her room. At the thought that she will need to join the family dinner in a few hours, Li Qin Yao took a nap to preserve her energy.
While chatting with Zhang Yu Han through WeChat, a call from Han Yue Xiu came in.
”Yao Yao, help me,” Han Yue Xiu said the moment the phone call was connected. Of course, she did not bother with pleasantries.
”What is it? You're bored to death?”
It was not the first time that Han Yue Xiu would complain that she was bored to death. She had been saying that after two days of staying with her parents in S Country.
”That's not it, but close,” Han Yue Xiu said. ”It was not me who was bored to death. It's my mom.”
”What with your mom?”
”She said she was concerned that I have been staying at home doing nothing ever since I arrived in S Country. Right now, she's arranging blind dates for me,” Han Yue Xiu said. ”Last night, my parents took me out for dinner, and who would have thought that she would invite her friend and her son.”
Li Qin Yao burst into a fit of laugh at her words. She could almost imagine her friend's frustration. It was not long ago that Han Yue Xiu had said that she did not want to get married too early.
”That's not a bad idea.”
”That's a very bad idea,” Han Yue Xiu said. ”It was embarrassing, alright? Anyway, I still want to wait until you and Mister Zhang get married first.”
Li Qin Yao was momentarily speechless. She frowned to hid her awkwardness. ”Yue Xiu, what are you saying? We have only dated for a week. It's too early to talk about marriage, alright?”
”Didn't you're the one who said that you don't date without marriage as the future prospect?” Han Yue Xiu laughed. ”Yao Yao, I still want to be your bridesmaid!”
Li Qin Yao's face grew warm. ”Han Yue Xiu, let's not try to divert the topic. Weren't we discussing your blind dates? Yue Xiu, what are you planning to do about it?”
Han Yue Xiu felt as if she wanted to cry when her friend had turned the topic back towards her blind dates. She did not know how to deal with her parents' arrangement. At this point, she wished to forget about this matter.
”Do you think I should end this vacation and return?” Han Yue Xiu asked. ”Maybe if I find another job, my parents would soon forget about this matter.”
”Are you sure?”
”I don't know,” Han Yue Xiu sighed and pondered over the matter for a while. ”But I think that my ex-boss has stopped looking for me. I no longer received his e-mails, and my ex-colleagues have no longer contact me and ask anything about my resignation. Did that person come over to your place again and asked for me?”
”I didn't see him again after he came over last week,” Li Qin Yao said.
The two of them chatted for a while longer and hung out after almost an hour.
