SECRET LOVE NEST '22

The Most Complex Relationship

I know! I KNOW!

Gods I swear some people are just plain rude. Please, don't message me at 3 in the morning just to tell me that you think my husband to be is hot.

I know he is hot. Believe me, I know. I get to see him walk around topless, even naked. around our condo so its blindingly obvious that I know how sexy his body is. So really, no need to message me at the dead of the night to tell me that the bastard I am marrying is hot.

And I made an announcement to that rude person who doesn't seem to own a clock or a modicum of manner. .

Me: (sluggish and still sleepy) You will no longer be invited to my wedding. Fuck you, ex.

LiPin: (chuckling) Sorry. I just saw Qing's posts even though its been a couple of weeks since he posted it. I cannot believe that I missed it.

Me: I can believe why you missed it and there are several reasons why. One, you are not a socmed addict. Two, you are busy with living your actual life. Three, you are not actually that interested with my fiancé.

When he heard the word "fiancé", Qing moved around and put his arm on my waist. Even so, he continued slumbering beside me. The big oaf. And he had the audacity to accuse me of having the ability to sleep through an earthquake.

LiPin: Yeah. And I saw your pics...

Me: Don't say it.

LiPin: (laughing) You look sixteen in there, Dayu. Heck, are you sure you will be thirty next month? I think you are someone who doesn't age.

Me: Not true. I think those photos are heavily filtered. I don't care.

LiPin: Of course you don't. You are thin in those pics though. Are you even eating?

Me: I lost some lbs while shooting a project but I am gaining them back. Don't worry.

LiPin: Okay.

Me: (sighing) Whats going on? And don't say nothing because you won't be taking my call or messaging me this early if there is nothing going on with you.

LiPin: We fought again.

Me: Again? What the...? How many times is it now?

LiPin: I think this is the fourth...no...fifth time we fought in the last two weeks.

Me: Fifth time...thats rough.

LiPin: I know. Gods, I hate it.

I turned to Qing when he rolled again and sighed in his sleep.

Me: Wait, I'm gonna move because I don't want to wake Qing up. Stay on the line.

LiPin: Okay.

I slowly slid off the bed and padded out of our room. I went to the bathroom and sat on top of the bathroom counter.

Me: Want to videochat?

LiPin: No. My eyes are puffy. I cried.

Me: I see. So...what are you gonna do?

LiPin: I dunno. I just...I want him to understand my point of view.

Me: Are you listening to his point of view?

LiPin: I am...its just...

Me: You don't agree with what he wants.

LiPin: Yes.

Me: Well, what will you do? Its not like you can ignore him. He practically lives on the same street as you.

LiPin: Yeah. And also the fact that he is my father. I cannot ignore that.
