403 The plan to meet Mr. Liu's family
“And we are back!!! Who missed me?” Zhou Yichen’s booming and chirpy voice resounded in Jun’s office as he barged in.
Jun and Ai froze as she was sitting on his lap, a position which might be embarrassing for a parent to witness.
“Oh you were acting all cuddly and mushy mushy? That’s great! Ah reminds me of my younger days…” he reminisced.
Ai quickly jumped up and stood straight on her feet while Jun sprung up in a position as if nothing happened.
Zhou Yichen whistled and waved his hand in dismissal. “Aish, you youngsters don’t have to be so reserved. If this gives me a grandchild, then I will gladly step out to give the two of you some privacy.”
Jun puked blood. “T-that’s…we were not doing anything like that…” he scratched his throat.
Behind him, Xie Nuying said, “It’s alright, dear. I am a very forward-minded person,” she nodded.
The couple had nothing to say.
Zhou Yichen sneered. “Ah, professor Xie talking about forward mindedness.”
“Is there a problem?” She shot back. “I don’t expect you to understand it either.”
“Perhaps that’s because you didn’t show it properly during the years we lived.”
She narrowed her eyes. “I am pretty sure I was very flexible, especially when it came to your not so traditional lifestyle.”
“Hah! You claim you are flexible, but you are just a strict and traditional person inside in your dark heart!”
“There is a reason why being traditional is preferred and still in practice because it gives stability.”
“Ah there you go again with your stability lecture. People don’t need just stability but some fun in their lives too!”
“That fun shouldn’t consume 99% of their life, leaving just 1% to stability and security as if they are doing a favor. You need to have a sense of responsibility too.”
“I am so sorry oh the ever so responsible Miss. Xie for failing to open your eyes to see that fun and responsibility can go hand in hand.”
“Oh which hand of yours was responsible, considering your flirtatious behavior?”
Ai coldly intervened. “This is enough. You don’t have to start a fight every time you meet.”
The two adults stiffened and looked away while coughing a bit.
“Tell that to your mother who doesn’t leave my way…”
“Tell that to your father who refuses to leave my way…
They whispered under their breath.
Zhou Yichen then said, “Well! Jun-cute, I must say you have built a great company. Your employees are so nice~”
Xie Nuying snorted. “You should add female employees…”
He glared at her, but with how Ai was drilling her sharp gaze into him, he promptly backed down from rebuking.
“*Ahem* so Jun-cute!”
Jun looked at him. “Yes, Uncle?”
“Now that I am in Beijing, how about I meet your family?” His face glittered like gold. “Isn’t this a super awesome chance?”
Jun stared at him hard until his eyes started to water. You want to meet my family?”
“Yes!” He chirped.
Xie Nuying chimed in. “Me too. After all, it’s only proper and responsible to give my greetings to them now that I am in the city.”
They silently threw poisonous gaze at each other.
Though Jun’s family doesn’t need to meet you. Seeing your too colorful lifestyle, what will they think of my Ai?
Though Jun-cute’s family doesn’t need to meet you! Seeing your too rigid expression, they will definitely think that my Ai-chan is no fun!
Jun slowly shut his eyes.
This day was bound to come…
He smiled. “Sure, you can meet my family. They will also be thrilled to meet you.”
“That’s great!” The fighting cats duo beamed.
“But.”
“But?” They tilted their heads.
“If it’s not too inconvenient for you, can you please wait for sometime before I take you to my family? There are four people in my family that I need to dispose of before you step into Liu villa.”
Ai’s mouth heavily twitched.
Grandpa, Uncle Jing, Jian and Nian…
Xie Nuying blinked. “Oh. Who are these four people?”
Jun smiled again which never reached his eyes. “It’s hard for me to say this, but these particular four people will only cause trouble for you. The mental capacities of these people are a little questionable. But you don’t need to worry for Ai. She will be fine.”
Jun could practically imagine the gang of four ganging up on him and laughing evilly like demons who will have fun at his expense the moment they met Ai’s parents.
A lot of embarrassing fun which Jun would never allow.
Zhou Yichen sighed. “Aish. How fate is so harsh for some people…Sure, Jun-cute! If that’s what you want.”
“I appreciate it, Uncle. Oh and I hope you and Aunt haven’t booked any rooms in any hotel. You will stay with us in our condo.”
Ai beamed. “Really?”
“Of course that’s a given. Why will they stay in hotels?”
Xie Nuying warmly smiled. “You are so kind,” she shot a displeased stare at Zhou Yichen. “Unlike a certain someone here.”
“I heard that!”
“Because I wanted you to hear it.”
Zhou Yichen tremblingly pointed his finger at her. “Jun-cute, it’s impossible that I will live with her under one roof!”
“Don’t say as if I am too thrilled about this,” she retorted. “Your colorful clothes blinds my eyes.”
“Your rigid face ruins my appetite!”
“If this is how you will act in front of Jun’s parents and family, then I am canceling the meeting plan,” Ai gave a cold ultimatum.
They froze and withdrew from the war.
“And I want you two to be on your best behavior when you live in the condo. No fighting and throwing shades at each other,” she harrumphed.
Their brows twitched.
Sharing the same space and breathing the same air and not getting to throw shades at the other party?
They wondered how they would digest their food?
Ai whispered in Jun’s ear. “You really won’t let those four be in the meeting?”
His expression didn’t look good. “Dead serious. I know the only thing they will do is pull my leg. Like hell I am handing this chance to them on a silver platter!”
