CHAPTER 276
Knowing his mother, she was going to make sure the dinner was lit. He wasn't too sure as to whether or not she was going to invite their extended family.
Regardless, he was getting ready for anything. Should he put proper actions in place, then everything would be well.
At the very least, Androda would not have to go through anything with his family. However, informing her was always the best course of action.
Dialling her number, he waited for the call to go through and once it went, he brought it to his ears.
"Hello, love. How are you?" His baritone voice echoed in the surrounding.
"Hi, babe. I'm good. You?"
"What can I say? I have been better. So, what are you doing at the mont?"
"The usual. What's up? What about you?" Androda inquired.
"Nothing much. I just finished a call with my mum."
As soon as she heard the ntion of his mum, Androda straightened her back on her seat a silence fell instantly.
Sensing the silence, he was forced to ask why she had suddenly beco less chatty.
"Huh, Andy, are you there? Hey, Andy."
"Huh?"
"What's going on, tell ?"
"You do not have to worry yourself too much. I knew this day would co when I would have to et your family."
"And trust , they are nice. At least you have t my kid sister. She literally loves you."
"Yes, Xiao Xin is a darling. However, parents are a big deal and a big step you know."
"Then what are you scared of?"
"Nothing. I have virtually not had this done before. When I dated Wu Bai, only once I t hides family and that was towards her marriage."
"Andy," his deep voice cut in before she could think more deeply than she had already done.
"Love, I am no Wu Bai. I love you genuinely from my heart and if it had not been that my mum wanted to et you, it would have been a bit later. I personally, I wanted you prepared, less overwheld and also to have proposed to you but..."
The more he spoke, the more Androda's eyes went wide as she listened.
After her failed marriage attempt with Wu Bai, she never thought she would get into another relationship soon or even et such a caring, handso young man who wasn't out to just use her and abandon her.
"Liu Xueyi," Androda began.
In essence, all the words he had spoken failed to land a mark on her hearing due to how distracted she was.
"Huh?"
"Can you please recap?"
A knowing smile ford around the corners of his lips before nodding slightly. "Sure."
Without further ado, he dipped his right hand into his pocket and made his way over to the window in his house.
"Androda Kai."
She took a deep breath as well, getting ready for the words he was going to tell her.
"I love you, very much. I haven't felt this way in ages and eting you has had a huge impact on my life. I want you to know that I do not take you for granted and I want you in my life."
Her eyes brimd with joy and tears just having to hear him say that.
It wasn't a proposal since he didn't want to just yet. Even at that, she was happy he treasured her.
"I know what you have faced in the past and I do not plan on wasting your ti. However, I would not rush you as well. You have plans, dreams and goals. I want to see you through that. Now while we do that, I also want you to feel welco with my family."
"It would be an honour, Xueyi. It would be a big honour."
"Good. Now, mum wishes to et you. She has invited you over for a family dinner on Wednesday."
"Ohh..."
"Yes. I am sorry the ti is too close and you..."
"I would go," Androda chipped in quickly. She was not one to be held back by her past and to crown it up, especially a pass with a scoundrel like Wu Bai inside.
She had long finalized in her heart that she loved Liu Xueyi and gave him her body, heart and soul.
She had no regrets and she did not need one.
"I would go. Wednesday would be fine," Androda concluded.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. You do not have to worry so much. I am sure I would love your parents. Thanks for considering though."
"In that case, thanks."
"Haha, stop it. No need to thank ."
"Not really, you deserve all the praises, petting and pampering. And that being said, we would need to prepare. How about going shopping with tomorrow after work?"
"Sounds like a good plan."
"Great. I will pick you up from your office when we are done tomorrow, okay?"
"Sure. By the way, have you had dinner?"
"I-I... huh..." He did not know how he was going to out the words to her.
He had been too busy finalizing so docunts needed to seal off the bidding proposal and forgot himself.
Thankfully, Androda nor his mother wasn't at his house, or else he would have gotten the scolding if a lifeti.
"Xueyi..."
Her voice trailed off in a warning tone, reminding him of what was coming should he give her a negative answer.
"I do not want to lie to you. I have been busy."
"Then why didn't you order your food, huh? Or take even as small as five minutes to microwave your al? I specifically prepared you different dishes to help with that but yet you..."
"I love you."
Even before she got the chance to nag him, Liu Xueyi played his cards well.
She had a way of letting go when he kissed her, told her he loved her or even hugged her.
He did not want to stress her brain as she did so much for him on Sunday.
"Taking a break would distract , just like mum's call. I would be done in five minutes, and after that, I would eat. Now don't be mad and forgive , okay? My heartbeat, do not stress your lovely head because of ."
"If you do not want that, then at least take care of yourself properly."
"I will. It's late, I need you to relax first. I will call you before I go to bed. But if you are asleep by then, take this, mwah... Kisses. Goodnight love."
"Fine. Goodnight, honey. Love you."
