As the parlour resounded with his laughter, Mr Zang and Da Xia watched him in annoyance .
"Father, is that the important thing you needed to discuss with me?, you could have just said it over the phone than to waste your time and energy coming over here . "
Liu Wei said after sometime . After a brief silence he continued again .
"I don't want to beat around the bush . I won't marry Da Xia . But if you so much want her in the family, by all means, go ahead and marry her, besides your wife is late . . . "
Mr Zang nearly coughed out blood hearing what Liu Wei just said . That was the first time in years he had ever gone against him . The first time he had said no to his commands .
"FA LIU WEI!!! "
Mr Zang screamed . He was almost trembling in anger . Da Xia had to hold his arm to calm him down . Liu Wei didn't say anything else, he just casually watched them as though he had said nothing wrong .
"It's not negotiable Son, It's a command! "
With that Mr Zang stood up, Da Xia followed after him, she made sure not to look at Liu Wei .
AdvertisementShe regretted ever coming to his house to witness a father and son argue over her .
The both of them left his house which returned the parlour to its usual quietness .
These few weeks, she had been close to Liu Wei's father . She accompanied him to parties and public occasions and he had introduced her as his daughter in-law . This made her get important contacts and earn respect respect from the circle .
These few days, he had asked her if she was getting along with his son, Liu Wei very well . Da Xia had wanted to lie as usual but she felt she needed his help .
Even though Liu Wei wasn't giving her that cold shoulder, there was nothing more than an answer to her greetings and a nod when she says something, obviously about work .
There wasn't even a slight chance of being friends with him .
She realized that if nothing is done, they'll remain stagnant, she knew he feared his father and would do whatever he says so she told him the truth .
When he heard her, he consoled and assured her that Liu Wei would marry her and said that they'll go visit him that Sunday .
She was elated and thanked him profusely .
Mr Zang really liked Da Xia and wanted her in the family . She was beautiful, kind, elegant and everything a man would want in a woman .
To him, she was perfect .
He had chosen her and Liu Wei must marry her, whether he likes it or not! .
. . . .
Liu Wei remained sitting staring into space . His mind replaying the events that just happened .
If it were this time last year, he would not have questioned his father's decision .
He would have married Da Xia without thinking twice, but now . . .
He had someone who was more important to him than his father's commands .
. . . . .
Liling felt a cool breeze brush past her, feeling a bit cold, she headed back inside the house .
She didn't use the normal stairs but the side stairs, avoiding the parlor .
When she entered her room, she made straight for her bed and hugged her pillow tightly as her mind replayed what she just heard .
'If he gets married, will his wife come to live with him? '
Of course she will .
'Then, I won't have to be a personal maid anymore right? '
So I'll be free, maybe I'll just have to serve the meals, I would no longer need to dress his bed . His wife should be able to do it, and his bath too .
No woman would want another woman preparing her husband's bath .
She continued asking herself questions and answering them .
And that woman . . . She is very pretty!'
Liling imagined both of them together, and she sighed softly .
'They'll look good together . . '
She was bumped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on her door .
The only person who knocks on her door is Kim, so without thinking she said calmly .
"Come in . . "
. . . . .
Liu Wei stood up after a while and headed upstairs . When he approached his room, he instinctively looked towards her door .
'Was she okay? '
He remembered seeing tears in her eyes back then when his father scolded her, so thinking that she was crying, he went over to her door and knocked lightly on it .
He pushed open the door when he heard her invite him in .
