Because I simply love you

Chapter 82: A good news...or perhaps not?



Chapter 82: A good news…or perhaps not?

“What!?”, Jianyu asked stunned.

Mother Chen looked at him like an idiot.

“Of course! Or what? You already took so long in only asking her out. Do you want to become a grandpa before you propose her to marry?”

“I’m saying the right thing, right dear?”, she asked her husband.

Father Chen nodded. He looked at Jianyu, “Buck up.”, was the only thing he said.

Dad! You too!?

“Anyways, the banquet is still a month away. You have got plenty of time to go on lots of dates and grow more intimate.”

Father Chen nodded again.

Dad, you only know to side with Mom!

“And if Nana has any objections?”, he asked.

“She won’t. I will definitely convince her.”

“And me?”

She looked at him in disdain, “What is there to convince you? It’s a waste of time. She is more important.”, she snorted.

His mouth twitched. Yup, I was definitely switched when I was born. He sighed helplessly.

Mother Chen left him alone with his worries. “Wow, I can’t wait till such good news is announced. And…”, she proudly looked at both father and son, “I won!”

“Huh?”

“I won against my brother! He had chosen her for Jing. But I won. She will be my daughter-in-law. Haha!”

She then sobbed dramatically, “I have never won against him.”

Jianyu rolled his eyes. Still on about that.

Then he became serious. “Mom, Dad. There is something that you both should know.”

Mother and Father Chen detected the change in his tone. They too became serious. “What?”

He told them everything that happened between Nana and Huian.

She stood up enraged. “What!? My poor Nana. How could Huian do this!? How dare she hit her? I knew she is madly in love with Jinhai, but this is insane! She cannot go on blaming every girl that goes near him. No. I want to talk to her. That girl. I never really liked her.”

Father Chen also turned grave.

Jianyu tried to stop her.

“Mom mom. Listen. I have also condemned her and she has apologized to Nana. Nana has also forgiven her. It’s over now.”

“Hmph! Only an apology? That’s nearly not enough.”

“Forget it, mom. She has been berated a lot by uncle and bro and me too. She has learned her lesson.”

“Well, I sincerely hope so. Because I won’t spare her the next time.”

Jinhai returned after a long tiring day. There were many back-to-back meetings and he was exhausted now.

He sat on the couch with his eyes closed. Suddenly he felt a small hand on his forehead. He opened his eyes to see Huian pressing on it.

“Was it very tiring today?”

No answer. He slowly removed her hands and got up to have a shower.

“Jinhai wait! I went to Natsukashi today.”

He stopped.

“I apologized to her. I admitted my mistakes and sincerely asked her to forgive me.”

Silence.

“And she has forgiven me. She is a really nice person. I behaved like that and she still forgave me.”, she said in an attempt to make him talk to her.

He looked at her but didn’t say anything.

“So, please. Will you talk to me now? I missed you.”, she bit her lips and cried.

He stared at her and slowly patted her head.

“En.”

She looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Really?”

“Yes.”

She immediately hugged him hard. “You don’t know how awful I felt when you spent the whole time in the study last night. I was waiting for you but you didn’t come back.”

He lightly patted her back.

“Oh yes, I remember! Now since everything is alright I want to share the good news with you.”

“What?”

“Well, today Jianyu was also there with Nana. He came to know what happened and he too chided me a lot for it. But you know what he said?”

He raised his eyebrows.

“That I shouldn’t do anything more to hurt his girlfriend.”

His hand froze in mid-air.

She looked at him and smiled, “Yes. Even I was shocked just like that. I don’t know the full story but I guess he asked her out before I went there, and she accepted.”, she could not hide the delight in her voice.

“I see…That’s good for them.”

Huian didn’t notice the strain in his voice.

“Right, isn’t it? I am so happy for them.”

He stared ahead in blank space, “Hm.”

Jinhai’s phone rang. But he couldn’t hear it.

Huian waved her hands. “Jinhai? Your phone is ringing.”

He snapped out of it. “Huh? Ah yes.”

He picked it up.

“Sir. I investigated the letter but I didn’t find any suspicious person in our office or near anywhere where the files were kept. I also checked with the staff but there was nothing out of the ordinary.”

“En. Continue with the investigation. Keep an eye on our rivals.”

“Yes, sir.”

He hung the phone and asked Huian, “Do you still have the first letter which we got after our anniversary?”

She was drinking water when she suddenly coughed hard.

He quickly came to her. “Are you okay? Did you choke on yourself?”

“N-no. Which letter are you talking about?”

“The letter which I thought your friend Jiu gave.”

“Why are you asking?”, she said with sweat forming on her forehead.

“I got another letter today. Just like the first one.”
