Cupid's Assistant

Chapter 32

The next day arrived, and everyone except Fu Xiang was heading out to Wu Mingze's summer house as Fu Xiang's plans were to head back home over the break.

Wu Mingze's summer house was close to a beach. Everyone piled into a car that Wu Mingze's parents had sent over for him to drive them and had also informed him that they had already headed to the summer house first, and would meet them there.

______
Once they arrived at the summer house. It was huge and beautiful but with a simple aesthetic. Wu Mingze's family was well off. They have well-known companies and are of high social status.
They all exited the car, and both Li Chyou and Xiaodan looked at the house in amazement.

"Wow, this is your summer house. It's so big and pretty," Xiaodan said in awing.

"Yeah, it's not bad," Wu Mingze said, opening the trunk and grabbing the luggage. They all grabbed their luggage and headed inside. Once they entered the house, a nice, homey aroma hit their noses.

"Ah, welcome! Welcome," a refined middle-aged woman who looked high-class had a cute cartoon apron on her.

"Come in. Come in. I made lunch for us," the woman said, wiping her wet hands on a kitchen towel. The woman's name was Zhao Huiying, and she was a loving mother to her two sons and husband.

"Oh, who are these two?" Zhao Huiying looked at Xiaodan and Li Chyou.

"Hi Auntie, this is my cousin and her friend. Also, our classmate," Zhu Haoran introduced them.

"I see! It's nice to meet you two. I'm Mingze's mom. You can call me Auntie," she said with a smile.

Both Xiaodan and Li Chyou greeted her.

"Do you need any help?" Xiaodan asked with a smile.

"Oh, that won't be necessary. I should be finished soon. By the way, you have a lovely smile," Wu Mingze's mother said, looking at her smile.

"Thank you. I really like your cute apron as well," Xiaodan complimented her.

"Oh, why thank you," she answered, bashful.

Soon, a young little boy who seemed to have just started elementary school came running into the arms of Wu Mingze.

"Ge, what took so long," the little boy said, still holding his video game in one hand.

"Hey, little squirt. Watch where you are going," Wu Mingze said, ruffling the little boy's hair.

"I did," the little boy slightly grumbled.

"Ming Feng, aren't you going to say hi to your brother's friends? We haven't seen Yichen and Haoran in a long time," their mom said.

The boy was going to greet them normally, but he glanced at the two new faces before saying hello in a low, quiet tone.

"Why are you being so weird? You know Yichen and Haoran. Just because there are some new faces you've become so shy. Don't mind him," she said, patting the boy's head and looking at the girls.

"Hey, little squirt, want to play games with me?" Zhu Haoran said, as they always play games together.

"Yeah, I got a new game," Wu Ming Feng answered in a cool, aloof tone. They both went to the living room and started playing games.

"MingTao, quit sitting around and come to greet the guest," she said.

A tall man who was reading a book in the living room had set his book down and took off his glasses.

"Yes, dear," he said in a loving voice.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Wu Mingze's father. No need to be formal with me. Just call me uncle," he said with a gentle smile as he turned his attention to Xiaodan and Li Chyou.

They both nodded their heads and greeted him.

"Come on in. Lunch will be ready soon," Zhao Huiying said. "Honey, come help me finish up," she said to her husband. Wu MingTao nodded his head and followed his wife to the kitchen.

On their way to the kitchen, Zhao Huiying whispered to her husband, "Wasn't her smile so pretty?"

"Mmm," Wu MingTao nodded along with his wife's words.
