Coincidence

"Yue, what's wrong?" Dylan asked nervously squeezing the pendant in his hands.
She suddenly put the phone away and looked up at him.
She nodded her head, gathered hair and opened her neck for Dylan.

When the cold gold touched her neck she shivered. Dylan noticed this and smiled.

"Thank you Di. I like it very much." She said gently touching the pendant.
"This is the moon." She said smiling.

"It suits you ..." answered Dylan.

"Yue, daughter, do not make us worry so much, we are old, we can't stand it." Wang Fu laughed.

"Oh. C'mon ... you're still so young and in your prime."
Everyone giggled.
"Sorry Uncle, I wanted to say, I agree ..." she looked at Di and turned her head back to Wang Fu and her father. "I mean...I agree with your decision" she said.

Dylan let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Don't be so obvious...." Dee jie whispered to Dylan and laughed.

Dylan rolled his eyes.

"My friend let's drink to the new family!" exclaimed Wang Fu to Shen Lee and raised his glass...

"Tomorrow Grandma arrives, how about to celebrate the engagement the day after tomorrow? She will be so happy..." Miley asked, from what Yue almost choked.
Dylan tapped her on the back and held out the water.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Yue looked at her Mom in surprise. Miley glared at her daughter and shook her head.

"Oh...umm... yeah. I'm fine." She answered quietly to Dylan.

"Great idea." Exclaimed Liyan.

Dylan watched Yue's behavior all this time, and noticed her tension and nervousness, which was transmitted to him.

He patted Yue's knee with his finger, under the table, and when she turned to him, he waved his head, hinting at getting up from the table.
Yue immediately understood his gestures.
She stood up and bowed her head in respect to elders.

"I'm sorry, but I want to show Dylan something. Can I steal him, not for long?" She smiled.

"Yes. Yes. Of course." Dee jie answered. "You can take him away forever. He will only be happy." Everyone laughed at her words, only Dylan glared at her and shook his head.
They stood up and walked toward the garden.

"Just look, how do they fit together" said Liyan squeezing Miley's hand.

Both mothers smiled seeing their children together.

"I was so worried that something would go wrong, Yue was very stubborn, but HeDi found a way to solve everything. I did not expect them to come together." said Miley.

" So do I. Still in shock. But happy." answered Liyan.

"What's happened? You are very tense" Dylan asked, his brow furrowed.

"Not. Everything ... everything is fine." Yue said, trying to hide her face. Because her eyes betrayed her.

"Don't need Yue, don't lie to me.
I see something happen to you at the table. Have you changed your mind? Or are you scared?" Di asked.

Yue was silent, not knowing how to tell him how she felt. Because she did not understand what kind of feeling it was. But looking at Dylan's wilted, sad face, she felt bad.
I have no right to play with his feelings. I need explain to him everything.
She said to herself.

Dylan looked at her puzzled look, wishing to understand what thoughts were spinning in her beautiful head. He no longer had the patience to wait for her to speak.
