"I can't believe it . You are still stuck to that laptop and your precious phone", grumbled Mrs . Xie upon entering her son's room .

Gesturing his mother to quieten down, Xie Tang wrapped up his call and braced himself for the tirade .

"Do you know that it is YOUR engagement today . You haven't even started getting dressed up . Liang Mei Zhen's family would be reaching in an hour . What will I say to them?" she complained .

"Mom, it was important and needed my personal attention . I promise you – no more business related calls for the next five days", he assured his mother .

She shook her head in exasperation as another thought struck her, "what do you mean five days? Need I remind you that seven days from now, you and Mei Zhen will be traveling for your honeymoon? Please don't tell me that you will be carrying your office along with . Oh, what am I supposed to do with you?"

Xie Tang grinned at his mother's theatrics as he gently pushed her towards the door .

"Who is delaying me now? What would Mei Zhen and her family think if they get to know that I got delayed on my engagement day because of my mother and her scolding", he replied cheekily .

He freshened up and stood in front of the full-length mirror . Chocolate brown eyes stared back at him, framed in a long narrow face . Xie Tang stood 6'1 in bare feet and had a lean but muscled body frame . Thick straight hair and a dimpled smile took the sharpness away from his cheeks and gave him an endearing look . But that smile was a rare phenomenon and hence the effect more lethal when bestowed .

Scion to one of the top business houses in Shanghai, he had been amongst the most sought after bachelors . After a long bout of pressure tactics from his parents and younger sister, he had finally caved in and they had found a match for him the old fashioned way . Xie Tang thought back to his first meeting with Mei Zhen . It had happened with all the pomp and show attached to an arranged alliance . Both of them had been decidedly awkward on the day . Finally, it had been Mei Zhen who had broken the ice and post that they had discussed everything under the sun from business to sports to philosophy .

After the first few meetings itself, he was sure that they suited each other admirably . Her level headedness and intelligence was a huge deciding factor for him to say yes to the match . The families had been delighted, especially when the prospective groom and bride had left all the arrangements to their respective parents . That was few months ago and today, Xie Tang could safely call marrying Mei Zhen a wise decision and believed she would be an ideal partner for him .

His heart chose to mock him right at the moment reminding him of a pair of sparkling green eyes and a generous laughing mouth . Xie Tang shied away from thinking any further about those eyes or the person to whom they belonged .
