The Hater and the Player

Chapter 38

| Fallen leaves return to the root |

We decided to drive to the nearest mall and buy gifts separately in case someone discover Ming Chen.

I called my father and told him that there will be a visitor coming on our house. He berated me after sighing and ordered us to be away for an hour so they can prepare.

I think my father knew of my love life, I thought I hid it pretty well, but my father knew.

After that, I was several steps away from Ming Chen as I continued to think of what my parents would like as gifts.

I knew my mom would love some new ceramics and her favorite Oolong tea so I decided to text Ming Chen of my family's likes and dislikes. He sent me an cute bunny with a thank you sign on top making me giggle.

We decided to buy my father a beautiful fountain pen since he love doing calligraphy and a whole set of vintage CD collections from his favorite singer. Towards my brother, we decided to buy him a limited edition shoes, eh, men.

Of course I tried to stop him from buying more expensive stuff but he insisted saying that he wanted to make a good impression from my parents.

It did make me swoon seeing his efforts but my heart hurt secretly after seeing the total amount.

As we got closer to my home, Ming Chen begun to look ghastly pale and muttered incoherent words before he stops. We were only a few steps away from my house when he looked at me and said.

"I'm nervous, really really nervous" Ming Chen repeated for the hundred time.

"Relax" I laughed out loud  seeing his face scrunched up after hearing the word relax.

This confident man with a very shameless disposition and a sky personality is acting scared by just meeting my parents.

I really don't know whether I should cry or laugh at his expression. But even so, I couldn't help but pity him so I peck his cheeks.

"It's not enough" he said then leaned down to kiss me.

It felt like hours before he left my lips, his eyes are like those of a starving wolf while I leaned back like a sheep about to be slaughtered.

Then I leaned close to him for a kiss and hook my hands to his neck before a sound knock us off into oblivion.

I immediately tried to make myself more presentable while Ming Chen leaned away from me and organized his self.

"Well, well, well, isn't this my sister and who else? Ah, isn't this person my lover?" My brother mocked at us as he step back to make space for us.

We got off the car, my face must be so red and I took a glimpse on Ming Chen and saw his ears beet red. I snickered in laughter when my brother knocked me in the forehead.

"Young lady, restrain yourself"

I huffed and followed him to our house, still holding Ming Chen's slightly sweaty and cold hand.

My brother was about to open the door when the door open itself and voila, here comes my father. He was looking all groomed and he even out on a collared shirt and pants before patting his hands on his legs and initiate an introduction to Ming Chen.

"Hello, my name is Wu Li Bei and I'm Feng Mian's father. Nice to meet you" he smiled without fail and ushered us inside.

"Good evening yuèfù- no- I mean sir, yes sir"

Brother burst out in laughter so I smacked his stomach making him groan in pain while I pursed my lips to avoid laughing.

Father seem a bit shock but nevertheless, smiled at him warmly creating a comfortable aura that immediately calms Ming Chen down.
