Instant wife

Chapter 11

***

Jiyong and Dara stood near the airport gates, looking past the crowds. After waiting for ten minutes, they saw Father Kwon pushing a cart full of bags and Mother Kwon next to him wearing a sun cap. This was a typical look of someone who had just come from Hainan.

"Dad, mom." Jiyong took the cart from his father as Dara wrapped her arms around Mother Kwon.

"Who told you that you were allowed to pick us up?" Mother Kwon's eyes were bright, but her mouth still spouted complaints.

"Dara wanted to come." Jiyong smiled as he placed all the credit to Dara.

When Mother Kwon heard this, she immediately turned to Dara only to see her small face looking a little haggard. Feeling distressed, Mother Kwon said, "Oh, look at the dark circles under your eyes. You work so late, how come you picked us up anyway?"

"As soon as I heard that you and dad were coming back, I became too excited to sleep." Dara's saleswoman mouth took over as she laughed.

Jiyong thought of Dara's earlier sleepy appearance and wanted to chuckle, but he didn't ruin his wife's attempts.

Mother Kwon listened with a smile. Even if she knew Dara was just buttering her up, she was happy to hear these words.

The four quickly left the airport, with Jiyong driving them to his parent's home. The Xia residence was located in an old district in the city. Although the community facilities were dated, the location was good and quiet. It was a good place for the elderly to live in.

Jiyong and Father Kwon took two bags each into the house while Dara opened all the windows to let the air in.

Seeing the amount of dust, Dara couldn't help but say: "Mom, why don't you and dad stay with us today? We can hire someone to clean the house and wash the sheets so you can move back home comfortably tomorrow."

"No, we don't want to barge in on your love nest." Mother Kwon refused.

"Mom, you're exaggerating." Dara didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

"Then you should think of it as you being in the way of me and Father Kwon's lovenest." Mother Kwon changed her approach.

Father Kwon coughed when he heard this, but didn't say a word when Mother Kwon glared at him.

Dara and Jiyong looked at each other and smiled.

"Then let's go out for lunch first, then clean up." Jiyong proposed.

Everyone unanimously agreed.

The four randomly ordered a few dishes from a nearby restaurant. In fact, you could say that the smaller the shop is, the more authentic their food was. Dara found it difficult to stop eating their pickled fish.

Jiyong noticed Dara's non-stop eating of the pickled fish, so he took his chopsticks and helped put some more in her bowl.

Dara tilted her head to give him a sweet smile.

Mother Kwon saw her son and daughter-in-law getting along and being sweet. She was gratified to see their harmonious relationship.

"Dara I think this pickled fish is a little too sour. But you like it?" Mother Kwon asked with an ambiguous smile.

"Pickled fish is the most delicious when sour." Dara replied.

"Do you like to eat sour food?" Mother Kwon's eyebrows were raised.

"It's not my absolute favorite, but maybe my appetite today is just big." Dara slowed down her eating when she realized that her greedy eating might have scared her mother-in-law.
