Siren Song Chapter 39: Paradise VI /Wicked Ways Part 2!

Chang laughed awkwardly trying to brush off her mother's questioning. "Ahah what, no mom!"

"Are you sure?" Her mother raised an eyebrow at her. Chang had never been great at lying, she always got too nervous and was unable to hold her composure, she was doing her utmost.

Trying to keep a saleswoman smile on her face Chang denied it again, but more gracefully this time. She reached forward and grabbed a glass if water that sat in the tray in front of her the stewardess had brought. As she took a sip her mother asked a completely unexpected question.

"Soo was it about sex then?"

Chang spit up some of the water she was drinking and started choking coughing. 'What kind of a fucking question was that mom!!?'

Hearing her sputtering Jian came over and kneeled beside her chair and patted on her back. Chang finally got her breath after about a minute and gave her mother an embarrassed glare.

"No mom!"

"What are you ladies discussing?" Jian asked innocently, despite knowing.

"I was only asking her about her marriage, ahh, but she's so bashful just about this topic that I fear I will never see grandchildren!" Li Hua complained to Jian. She then turned back to Chang who sat rigidly digging her nails into her palm. Li Hua decided to have a little mercy on her daughter who she knew was quickly reaching her boiling point.

"Jian why don't you tell me about it, what made you propose to my daughter out of the blue like that?" She already knew the answer to this but she wanted Chang to hear this as she probably had not.

"So it was last summer on my 25th birthday, and my father and I had reached what you could call an impasse." Jian's warm voice reverberated by beside Chang as he reminisced. "I had to marry that night and he had set me up with several various women that he considered suitable. I was to choose from one of those women and sign a marriage contract that night." Chang bristled slightly, he had told her this before, after they had signed, during the month before she left. It still didnt mean that it did not bother her though, especially the word "suitable." "So I was sitting in the establishment with them, trying to make my decision when I heard an angel singing." Lian Jian Amal cast a side glance at Chang to see her blush he as heard his words, her scowl disappearing. " So of course I had to go investigate."

"Of course of course, so then what happened, was that my Xiao Xie?"

"Indeed it was. She was in the next room over attending a business celebration, like a lily among weeds, she stood out to me. Singing her little heart out, I found she had taken mine." In his memories the light above had shown down on her illuminating her in a champagne colored pencil skirt and full length blouse. Her hair loose and unruly. Her unbridled passion and her spark had attracted him like a moth to a flame.

Chang blushed an even deeper shade hearing that, 'how can a dignified grown man say that!'

Hao Jin Ying on the sidelines burned as well, how could her boss be saying such things, she truly had no idea who this person was anymore!

"Ah that is so sweet! You hear that!"

'How could I not have, hes right next to me!' Chang yelled internally. His words were hitting her right in the center of her chest breaking down her reservations.

"Ah so then what happened."

"Well I waited until she left the group and then I approached her. I rehearsed this while speech in my head, I knew I had to try asking her at least. Little would I have guessed that she would agree so passionately!"

'Ah god is he gonna tell her about that too!' Chang knew there would be no avoiding this topic her mother was like a dog with a bone in its mouth, she wouldn't let go until she was satiated knowing everything.

"Passionately? Oh tell me more." Li Hua's eyes shined, this was new news for her.

"Oh yes, she agreed, on the spot, no questions asked, I guess I was just too charming for my own good! Because she then turned to the room of her former associates and announced that she was quitting, just like that, then kissed me in front of everyone."

Chang put her hand over her face remembering that. She had grabbed him by his lapels, surprising him and planted a kiss on his face, her first, after casually announcing her retirement to the married life. The two of them had joked about it once or twice in private, she never thought he would tell her mother, how mortifying. These two were cut from the same wicked cloth, always bullying her!

Li Hua felt a small tinge of heat on her cheeks hearing how forward her daughter had been. "Well, oh my. That is surprising, I had no idea she took after her father so much. I shall look forward to what the future holds for you two." Li Hua reached forward and patted her daughter's hand, that wasn't on her face but still on her lap, trying to pacify her. She wanted to do whatever she could for these two, they would need each other especially in the days to come.
