Love at first sight

Liang did not give Jinjing time to comprehend what had just happened, he immediately captured her lips in an aggressive kiss. Jinjing could only obediently comply.

With no resistance, Liang devoured her lips to his heart's content and only then let her go.

Looking at her slightly swollen pink lips, Liang felt delighted.

"you are so sly… you gate crashed my family dinner." Jinjing pouted while complaining.

Seeing her pout so cutely, he pecked on it and said "aren't I family now?" taking the ring around her neck out from under her shirt.

Jinjing just nodded and could not help blushing. "okay fine, move it now, my parents are waiting."

Saying so she pushed him slightly and made her way out of the cramped cubicle

"behave yourself at the table." even though her eyes betrayed her, she warned him and went ahead first.

At the table.

Mama Lee inquired "what took you so long?" Avoiding looking at her, Jinjing said "there were a lot of people there."

"where is young master Sheng? Did you see him on the way?" Papa Lee was next to ask.

She simply shook her head indicating that she did not know where he was. The family continued with their dinner and after about 10 minutes, Liang joined them once again. "sorry the call took up a lot of time." He good naturedly apologized.

The rest of the dinner went by smoothly and the Lees parted ways with Liang at the car parking.

Reaching home and after a relaxing bath, Jinjing took her phone to check and reply to all the congratulatory messages. Half way through it, her phone rang, flashing Liang's name. she smiled and answered "yes? Who is it?"

Understanding her tease, Liang decided to play along. "Hi! Is this Miss Lee?"

"yes it is? Who are you and why are calling this late at night? That's not what decent people do." Jinjing was giggling but kept her volume down by covering her mouth with her hand.

"well I am your hubby speaking and your hubby is missing you dearly, so I am shamelessly calling you at this hour."

Hearing the word 'hubby' Jinjing's giggling abruptly stopped and her face turned red from embarrassment. They had just taken their relationship a step further and he was already taking liberties by calling himself Hubby.

"what hubby? Haa….. you haven't even proposed to me and calling yourself hubby… ya right!" Jinjing could not keep up the stern act anymore.

Liang let out a hearty laugh. "so the moment I will propose marriage to you, you will instantly agree…. So I take you up on that."

Jinjing could not find an appropriate rebuttal. She simply said "we will see…"

"well next month when I turn 21, I will be taking over from my dad. On my birthday I will officially introduce you to my parents as my fiancée. Get ready." Liang shared his plan with her.

Jinjing could already feel butterflies in her stomach. Her palms were clammy and she had cold feet, literally.

"isn't it too early, we only started dating a few months back. We should not rush into this." Jinjing suggested with hesitation evident from her voice.

"it's not early, in fact I feel I have wasted so many years by not asking you out earlier, the moment I saw you for the first time with Meili at our house." Liang confessed the feeling he had hidden in his heart for almost four years now.

Jinjing was astonished by this words "you have liked me for so long? Was it love at first sight?"

Taking a deep breath, Liang said in complete honesty "yes! I fell for you the first time I saw you. But wanted to be sure about your feelings before confessing. God!!! You took four years to reveal your true emotions."

After a brief silence Liang continued "Jinjing I don't want to spend a moment without you by my side, I want to bravely hold your hand in front of everyone. I want to declare my love for you publically and my birthday is the best opportunity."

"Liang there will be so many people, it will be so nerve wrecking." Jinjing tried to talk him out of this.

"that is exactly what I want, many people to witness the depth and sincerity of my love for you."

With no option left, she pacified herself thinking, that it was still a month more to the birthday, she had a lot of time to prepare.

Talking for another few minutes the love birds bid goodnight to each other.
