C9- Call me Mother

He looked at her with affection and spoke up,

"Lu Weiwei, are you willing to marry me ?" He asked and sat closer to her.

She was confused and didn't know how to respond,

"I need to talk to my mother about this and she must be worried by now" she quickly stood up and immediately her legs were on the floor, they turned jelly and she fell.

She had expected to fall on a hard surface but she fell on a sturdy chest, Yu Jinye lifted her and put her on the bed.

"Lu Weiwei that wouldn't be possible" He said.

"Why?" She asked confused.

He heaved a sigh and continued,

"I took them in a private plane to the US, I know of your mother's sickness and she needs help, I explained everything to her and your brother is there to look after her" Yu Jinye said.

Lu Weiwei was stunned,

"I guess I should be saving your life everyday" she joked. "I can't payback for what you have done, so I guess I'll have to do it in your favour" she explained.

"You are marrying me right?" He asked.

"Yes but only if you're not those type of arrogant hotties" she joked.

He was marveled that she called him a "hottie".

"When do you want to have the wedding?" he said.

"About that, can we have marriage certificates only, I'll be 21 very soon and I'm still studying so I won't be able to hold a luxurious wedding now" she explained

"I understand and I'm willing to wait, so are you hungry?" He asked.

"Yes, but I don't eat much, just little okay"

"Okay, I'll let one of the maids bring you your food, if you need me I'll be in my study" he said and left.

Then, she was feeling bored again.

After some minutes, a middle aged woman appeared. She was in her fifties but she looked like she was in her thirties.

"Hello my dear, I'm Yu Jinye's mother" She spoke.

"Greetings ma'am" Lu Weiwei said.

Mother Yu sat close to her,

"No need to be so formal with me, you'll soon be my daughter in law, so call me mother" she stated.

"Okay mother" Lu Weiwei said.

"Would you like me to feed you?" She asked.

Lu Weiwei felt that Yu Jinye was blessed with a lovely and caring family.

"Yes mother" .

She fed Lu Weiwei and they chatted afterwards, Lu Weiwei felt homely with them and they continued to talk until Mother Yu tucked her in bed and left her room.

As she came out, Yu Jinye was coming to see Lu Weiwei.

"Yu Jinye ,your wife is asleep you should get some rest too" his mother said.

Yu Jinye entered his room, took a shower and admired Lu Weiwei as she was sleeping before he slept beside her.

It was as if he had forgotten about Su Lingsha.
