Giving away their daughter

Darren arrived his quiet apartment and was surprised to see a sleeping figure on the couch. His heart instantly warmed up at the sight. He tiptoed in not wanting to wake up his sleeping beauty. He quickly went into his bedroom to get a change of clothes as well as bathe. He did not want the filth that he had to deal with the whole day to pass onto her.

Once done, he quickly went back out to retrieve her. The sight of her sleeping was a sight to remember. Her long silky black hair was sprawled over the couch's pillow, her lips slightly parted with drool threatening to fall off, the blanket that he just placed on her when he entered was nowhere to been on her instead it had been kicked down ruthlessly to the ground. Her legs were parted wide while one of her arm was flinging down the couch. Gone were the image of a dignified young lady of a noble household. He chuckled to himself pleased that he is entitled to see this sight of her.

Meanwhile, a couple were in heated discussion taking place in their bedroom. "Could it be she is already sleeping at his place?" asked the lady.

"Hmph, I told you not to pamper her too much! She does as she pleased. Don't feel like working, she just take a day off and disappear!" complained the man.

"Excuse me, you must be getting old, your memory is declining, today it was you who told her to take the day off seeing her so dispirited. I am going over and demand Darren to marry her in an instant," said the lady firmly but her twinkling eyes betrayed her true emotions.

She had been worrying about her only daughter's marriage for the past 2 years and now that her daughter had found a capable man, she is delighted and could not wait to marry her off. To get married at 25 years old is already late, she herself got married at the age of 19 years old. Each time she brought this subject up, she'd be scoffed by Shin Tong, explaining to her, this is no longer the olden feudal days. That brat, statistic had showed women who don't get married by 25 years old about 50% will go on to stay single and ending up as a spinster. Then who would continue to carry on the next generation for them?

"My memory is still good, I remember you telling her to grab a man and never let him go. Now that your daughter is practicing what you preached, you start to make a fuss, woman, I am going to sleep, just do what you want tomorrow, I'll accompany you, now come here and give me a kiss!" he said in a commanding tone.

He was a little grumpy that his woman had been talking about their daughter nearly the whole night. In fact he knew the aim of his wife making a fuss, she wanted him to collaborate with her scheme tomorrow. He could see the delight in her eyes when their daughter did not return home. He on the other hand is more excited that the two of them finally had the opportunity to be alone instead his wife went on and on about their daughter. He understood his daughter personality, she would managed to hold on to her virginity. Plus, he chuckled to himself, he is unsure if Darren would still be interested once he experienced her sleeping habit. That brat better not let them down! He thought to himself.

Seeing her husband tacitly agreed to her upcoming plans, she gladly went into his arms and planted a kiss on his lips and could not escaped as she planned as his arms caught her and held her firmly while he devour her lips. Surrendering to his passion and following his lead, they both entered a land of bliss and love.

Darren picked up his woman and carried her to his bedroom, looks like he had to suffer tonight, only able to hold and look at the beauty but not able to taste her. The taste of her yesterday kept replaying in his mind and he wanted more but he knew he had to respect her and not take advantage, he sighed, he need to settle their enemies fast so that they can get married peacefully.

He placed her gently on his king sized bed, he covered her with the quilt and before he could get onto the bed, he witnessed her kicking the quilt off. She tossed and turned for awhile before she finally found a position she was comfortable in. She sprawled on the bed with her head facing on one side and laid on her stomach. Her arms cradled her head while her legs were spread apart. His bed that was initially neat turned into a mess with her tossing and turning. His hopes of holding her to sleep was dashed. He did not give up, instead he gathered her into his arms and before he could close his eyes, she started wriggling to escape his hold and her arms and legs started flinging and he ended up got kicked off the bed while she resumed her previous position. After a few tries with similar results, he gave up miserably. He went out and slept on the couch.

He was awoken by the intercom sound. The doorman informed a couple claiming to be his future in laws are requesting to come up. Lack of sleep, he groaned unhappily and told them to let them up. Shin Tong was also awaken by the sound, came out from his bedroom. Her hair was in a mess but she greeted him happily. "Ren, you're back? You slept on the couch? Who came to visit?"

She approached him and planted a kiss on his cheek. He gave her a hug and told her that her parents are on the way up, before he could finished his sentence, the doorbell rang and Shin Tong had already ran off to the washroom. He took a deep breath and reminded himself, I love this woman.

He washed his face calmly before going to the door. He was greeted by a stern looking couple. In fact he had met this couple a few times in the past as Ji Yu's best friend. However, his identity is no longer the same and he knew what they were thinking since their precious daughter did not returned home last night. He calmly invited them in. Shin Tong's father was scrutinising Darren silently while taking in the house environment and inwardly he chuckled to himself. Just as expected his daughter did not disappoint him. Sign of Darren sleeping on the couch was evident but both of them turned a blind eye to it.
