SECRET LOVE NEST '22

Food Experts

We had to fly my mother and grandmother to the capital to help us finalize the menu for our reception. We had to do it because Qing won't be with me to decide on the food to serve to our guests since he suddenly nodded to work on a project with his father. Qing got busy meeting other investors and formulating a new business plan for whatever it is they are looking for something to invest.

Look, I am just spitballing these business terms as you all know I have so little knowledge in the subject and I have never pretended to know more than the snippets I picked at conversations around Qing's family. Qing just told me that he couldn't say no to this project because the items are so interesting he felt challenged to study them.

I have no idea what those items are I'm just focusing on my own work and the wedding prep. Plus Kuai and Kuangnu are still in our home with us so I also want to make sure they don't feel neglected now that their Daddy Qing suddenly got busier.

So Qing and I talked. We cannot push off the important thing that is the food we will serve to our guests anymore. We need to make decisions about it.

Me: What will we do? You will be busy. I also have a tight schedule. Can't you free yourself for one day then lets just decide then?

Qing: (regretfully) I wish I can but we will need to visit some factories and suppliers. I'm sorry, Love.

Me: (sighing) Well, what can we do? Thats work. Hmmm...

Qing: (lips pursing) Our wedding is important to me too.

Me: (smiling) (ruffling his head) Oh, I know. Of course I know. Are you pouting because you think I am thinking you are neglecting our wedding preparations? Thats not the case at all. I know our Qing is a good boy.

Qing groaned as I baby talk his worries away. Darn it! I know this project he took is so sudden that its throwing our schedules off but I always love to see Qing work on things he is passionate about. Whether its acting, music, or investing. Heck, even his passion for gambling, I'll take it.

I won't begrudge him this chance to work on something he finds interesting. Its also giving him an opportunity to use the things he learned in his new study course. Qing is trying new things, putting what he learned to use...how can I tell him to stop all that so he can work in our wedding prep?

I won't do it. Not to him. Not when I promised to support him as much as he supports me.

So I said...

Me: How about finding food experts to help us?

Qing: (frowning) You want to employ food experts to finalize our wedding menu?

Me: (shaking my head) Not employ. Ask for their help. And I bet you, they'll be tripping themselves on their feet to help us.

Qing: (confuse) Huh? Who are these experts you are talking about who will be eager to help us? And for free? What?

Me: Our mothers. And my Grandma. Why? Do you know anyone else who has excellent palette for food than them?

Qing: (chuckling) Oh them. I see...

Me: And they are also deeply invested to make our wedding so wonderful for us.

Qing: (nodding) Thats true. So whats the plan? Fly Mama and GrandMa here to help us?

Me: Yes. Thats the plan.

Qing: Okay. I'm all for that.

And thats why my Mama and GrandMa suddenly found themselves invited down here in the Capital to help us. They won't be living with us though...because Qing's mother practically begged me to let her host my GrandMa and Mama.
