Secret Love Nest

Propositioned pt2

I get the glass of water instead of the chamomile tea that I ordered. No amount of stress relieving chamomile tea can calm my nerve after hearing that.

That madam, Mrs.Ching, wanted Qing for her son?!

Wow!

I drank some water to calm my nerve. Come to think of it, that is not surprising. If I will put myself on Mrs.Ching's position, I will also want Qing as my son in law.

Qing is handsome, tall, rich, looks dependable and responsible. Qing is a perfect son in law material.

But it just galling to think that someone else want Qing to be paired up with their son.

JiJi: And what did you say when Mrs.Ching said that?

Qing's Mom: What should I say? I don't like her son. He's ugly.

I choke again. Goodness.

Me: (coughing and trying hard to regain my composure) I'm sorry. I think something goes in the wrong pipe.

JiJi: (looking at her mother) Good for you. We don't like those kind of people to get mixed in our bloodline.

I feel faint. I look at my chamomile tea. Does the tea makes me so relaxed that I fell asleep? Why are things weird and bizarre again?

Qing's Mom: Her son will never fit Qing. Qing's vainness always gave me the clue that he will go for someone who fits his style. Hence, Dayu...

She smiled at me and I helplessly smile back at her. I think I now have a clue where Qing got his vainness.

His mother and sister are vain too if they don't want "ugliness" to get mixed in their family.

But what they don't know is I am not really Qing's type. He doesn't go for the likes of me until he fell for me. He goes for the pretty, easy conquest.

JiJi: Nonsense, you are the prettiest guy Qing introduces to us.

Me: How many exactly did he took home to meet you guys?

Qing's mom and sister got to thinking.

Qing's Mom: Touche. Anyway, that is a moot point as when Mrs.Ching asked that on me, Qing is already pursuing Dayu.

JiJi: So you didn't tell my brother dear about that proposal from Madam Ching?

Qing's Mom: I did.

Me: What is Qing's reaction? What did he say?

Qing's Mom: (deadpanned) He felt insulted. As do I...

Goodness, the vainness of this family.

JiJi: (laughing softly then whispering) But really, what was she thinking? Her son and Qing? That pairing will end up in tears.

Yes! Qing's tears as I will really hunt him and hurt him if he even think of going for another guy.

Qing's Mom: (proud) Having beautiful children has it's advantages.

Goodness.

I don't know what to say to that so I sip more tea. Then I glance at the table two table away from us and saw that one of the guys, the date of the son, is looking at me. I lift my cup to him and continued drinking.

More people came. More greetings and chatting. I consumed two more cups of tea and one overly sweet cupcake. The teas are divine but their cakes and pastries need some improvement. Yes, I am a tea and cakes expert now.
