Chapter 703 - Surprise Guest (1)
historical
Li Meili wasn't the only one who was meeting her in-laws that day. Several miles away from Shenzhen, Yun Zhen found himself just outside the door of the Su family's house with a bouquet of flowers in one hand.
When he decided to follow Su Jingyi to Shanghai to pursue her, he didn't expect that asking her hand in marriage would make him edgy, now that he was here, about to push the button of the doorbell.
Just as he was about to push the doorbell, the front door suddenly opened, much to his surprise. Standing in front of him was Su Jingli, who was also staring back at him in shock. He couldn't believe that he was seeing Yun Zhen standing right outside their door.
"Oh, hi Mr. Yun. I didn't know you would be here." Su Jingli finally snapped out from his shock and greeted Yun Zhen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYun Zhen cleared his throat and tried to think of how he should tell Su Jingyi's younger brother that he was here to ask for her hand in marriage tonight. But Su Jingli didn't need to hear it as he had already guessed it with the way Yun Zhen was dressed and how he was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Wanna see my sis?" He asked Yun Zhen with a wide grin on his charming face.
Su Jingli inwardly grinned, full understanding of the reason Yun Zhen came here unannounced tonight. However, the man had just come at a wrong time as they were entertaining another guest at the moment.
"Yes. Is your sister home?" Yun Zhen asked, but before Su Jingli could answer him, they both heard a familiar voice coming through the door.
"Jingli, what's taking you so long? Did the delivery arrive yet?" Su Jingyi appeared behind her brother and was surprised to see Yun Zhen standing right outside their door.
She looked at him, mouth agape, not expecting to see the man she had been trying so hard to forget these days to appear in front of her after weeks of not seeing each other since she officially left her post in Yun Group.
"Yun Zhen, what brings you here?" She asked, her expression couldn't hide the shock from seeing him again.
"I came here to see you." Yun Zhen passed the flowers he was holding to Su Jingi, finally relieved that he didn't have to hold the flowers awkwardly as he stayed standing outside.
"I-" She was so speechless, Su Jingyi didn't even know what to say at that moment.
"Jingyi, what's the matter? Where did you and Jingli go?" An older woman in her late fifties came. Yun Zhen then realized that she could be the mother of the Su siblings.
The old woman stopped in her tracks and noticed that her children were talking with someone outside their door.
"Did something happen? Who is it?" She looked between her daughter and son, then at the man standing next to them. The flowers her daughter was holding also piqued her attention.
Who was this handsome fella? Was this man courting her daughter? But Su Jingyi had not mentioned anything about being involved with someone in Shenzhen. So why did she agree to meet people for a marriage arrangement?
Not unless something happened between them and Su Jingyi gave up, willing to marry another man she didn't even like.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Is this your friend?" She tried to probe her daughter. The man looked like he had traveled a long way just to see Su Jingyi. Just how long he'd been standing here anyway?
"Mr. Yun came to see Big Sis." Su Jingli answered for the two awkward people who had lost their logical minds to even answer a simple question.
Aiya, his future brother-in-law had just come to pay respect to their parents, how can he not lend a hand to give Yun Zhen an advantage? Did this blockhead finally realize that he cannot lose his precious sister to anyone else?
"Oh." Their mother looked at them in awe. "Well, why don't you come inside, Mr. Yun? Welcome to our humble abode." She welcomed Yun Zhen with a slight smile on her face.
"But Mom…" Su Jingyi wanted to remind their mother that they had another guest tonight. A prospective husband for her on top of that.
Didn't her mother realize how awkward the situation would be if the two men met tonight? Why was she inviting Yun Zhen to go inside? Su Jingyi also didn't want Yun Zhen to witness her current situation with the arrangement right now.
Since this man came a long way just to see her daughter today, how can Su Jingyi's mother have the heart to chase him away? She had never met any man who had gone to this extent to see her daughter. She wasn't blind not to see the awkward tension between the two and wondered what was the real score between the two of them.
Yun Zhen didn't have a chance to respond as Su Jingli had already opened the door for him, giving way for him to go inside. He glanced at Su Jingyi before stepping inside, greeting her mother good evening.
Mother Su led Yun Zhen inside while her two children were left at the doorway. Su Jingli took the chance and whispered to his sister.
"What is he doing here?" He asked, almost whispering, trying not to be overheard by their mother.
"How am I supposed to know? I haven't seen or talked to him for weeks." Su Jingyi said in defense. She had never imagined that there would be a day when Yun Zhen would do something as ridiculous as surprising her like this.
