Mr and Mrs. Liu

Madam Liu was sitting in front of the dresser and putting on cream on her face. She was happily applying the cream as she recalled her time with Han Meixiu. Mr. Liu noticed her seemingly joyful expression.

"Something good happened?" He was sitting not far from her holding some documents.

"You can say that." She then turned her head and faced her husband. "I discovered something interesting today."

"About Han Meixiu?"

Madam Liu grinned. Then she told her what happened between Han Meixiu and her second son.

"Isn't it interesting? I was thinking he already let that incident pass. In reality he does really hold grudges. Who would have thought that's the type of revenge he came up with? Truly my son, eh?"

"Are you perhaps wanted the two to end up together?"

"At first, no. But since Little Zhi reacted that way, then there's a chance. What do you think?"

"You promised that you won't interfere with their personal life." Mr Liu calmly reminded his wife.

"I promised that if they happen to fall in love, who ever that person is, I won't be against if they want to marry that person. But clearly, Little Zhi haven't been in love to anyone. Who knows he might develop some feelings towards Meixiu in the future? So far, she's the first who got 'intimate' with him." The more she explained her stand the clearer it was for her that in deed this was a good idea.

"Madam Liu, the matters of the heart shouldn't be forced. Otherwise, one of them might end up getting hurt. If it becomes one-sided, then it will be a problem."

"Then I should make sure it won't become one-sided." She said with conviction.

He released a long sigh. He stood up and came closer to the woman he has been married to for the past three decades and smiled dotingly.

"Do you want to hear some good news?" He normally didn't want to tell her this issue as early as now but seeing her dejected expression, he couldn't help it.

Madam Liu didn't answer so he continued.

"Zhang Yu contacted me." He said then observed his wife's reaction. Sure enough she perked up.

"The head of Zhang Family? Why did he contact you? Is it something to do with Meixiu?"

He slowly nodded and started to smile a little. It was actually few days after that 'event' when he received a call from Zhang Yu. Immediately he knew that the latter already found out what happened and that his playful wife was involved. He's actually willing to compensate no matter how much the damaged done but Zhang Yu wanted something else.

"Do you really think that after the prank that both of you pulled out, Han and Chen family will just accept it?"

"I was actually wondering why they were silent. So you pulled some strings?"

"Not just me. Zhang Yu as well. Chen Family was furious for being treated that way by Han females." First it was Han Mingxia then Han Meixiu. "They had fallen out and the old Han was furious. He normally wanted to hunt down Han Meixiu but Zhang Yu came in between. He was able to pacify the old man but he won't be able to do it for long."

"He wanted us to help?"

Mr. Liu nodded. "Since that incident was planned by both of you, even if we don't want to, we are already involve. He asked us to protect Han Meixiu until her parents come back."

"If it's protection from Chen and Han Family it's not a problem. But the question is what kind of protection he's asking?"

"The kind of protection where both Han and Chen can't touch her. That is, if she will be part of our family. We can adopt her as our legal daughter or ..." He purposely didn't finish his sentence.

"She can be my daughter-in-law!" Madam Liu exclaimed excitedly. "It's just perfect!" She clasped her both hands and stood up. The hugged her husband tightly. She's clearly excited.

"Originally I was about to suggest Big Zhi, but..." He was interrupted thus he wasn't able to continue his original plan that he told Zhang Yu. His plan was a marriage between Big Zhi and Meixiu, since his older son was easier to convince and mostly out of the country. Meixiu only needed to be part of Liu Family in the eye of those people who probably wanted to harm her. Though Little Zhi showed some 'positive' reaction towards the girl, he's still a little hesitant.

"No, no, no, no, no! Big Zhi would just be like a ghost husband. Besides, both Little Zhi and Meixiu already have a history together. We just have to make it formal." She said while nodding showing that she's really considering the union of the two.

"Then we will inform them after this series of inspection."

"Why so long? Why can't we tell them tomorrow?" She normally wanted now but it's already late and most probably the two were already sleeping.

"It's not appropriate. Why don't you try to calm down first. You might not be able to sleep if you're too excited." He explained. "You're not worried that they maybe against it?"

"Then I have to make sure they won't be able to have another choice but to marry each other!"

"Don't pull another prank. Let us do it naturally." He warningly said then added, "You're still so forceful."

"If I wasn't then I wouldn't be able to become your wife. I fought my way just to stand beside you, you know."

"I know." He remembered how shamelessly Yi Min followed and pestered him every single day. He remembered how she courted him. He would received letters, flowers, and gifts. He was embarrassed by her actions. His family as well as his co workers criticized her endlessly but still she persevered. It was vividly embedded in his memory the scene when she was insulted by his family during his birthday celebration because she came without an invitation. She didn't care. She just stood there in the middle of the crowd and confessed to him wholeheartedly. She then shameless asked his parents for his hand in marriage. He almost passed out that time.

He looked lovingly to the woman in his embrace who made his life complete. If she wanted to inform the two tomorrow, he could only help.
