Was this too fated to happen to me

''It is nothing; it …is …just a headache''.

Grandma Xing forced her to look up. She got up and wiped her face with her sleeve. She refused to look grandma Xing in the eye.

Leaving her staring at her with concern, she made her way to the bathroom.

Grandma Xing was not the first to approach her regarding marriage. Dr Ye Jing Lan too had raised the subject soon after she had finished her studies. Despite the fact that she was free to marry she had shaken him off.

''Let me work for a while then I will get married,'' she had told Dr Ye Jing Lan.

At the back of her mind was the fact that her marriage would be an added expense for Dr Ye Jing Lan. She had thought she could do a job and collect enough for her own expenses; but she did not disclose any of this to him when she asked for permission to work.

She would have worked a couple of years more before deciding on marriage but the hurt caused by Xiao Min's words caused her to cave in.
