157 I'm engaged

"Mom, I need to tell you something. "

Xin Yong finally said in a whisper after hours of contemplation. Her parents returned the day before, so she had to leave for home quickly, Jin Yue didn't want her to leave, but she had no choice, her parents didn't know of him yet.

Her mom smiled and looked up at her, then returned her eyes to the apple she was peeling.

"Spill it, you've been pacing around the kitchen all morning, I figured you wanted to say something."

"Yeah... okay, the thing is... "

Xin Yong scratched her head lightly. She planned to tell her parents together with Jin Yue, or rather that was what they planned, but she wanted to know what her mom had to say about it first.

Jin Yue said he was going to come during the weekend, but she couldn't wait till then. She wanted to know if her mom was in support of her getting married to him.

"What is it? "

Her mom asked again, this time lifting her eyes from the bowl.

"Okay, the thing is... I'm ...engaged!! "

Xin Yong shut her eyes tightly as she spilled the beans. The kitchen became quiet as the bomb dropped, after a few minutes her mom finally spoke.

"I don't understand... "

Xin Yong had not discussed any boyfriend with her, how could she be engaged? Was she joking or something?

"What I mean is... I'm engaged to be married, not that I'm getting married now, no, no, he says he'll wait for me, and, and..."

Xin Yong went over and hugged her mom tightly from the back, she didn't know how to continue.

"For how long have you been seeing him?"

"Almost two years..."

"And you've not told me about him? "

Her mom asked a bit angry. She wanted to see Xin Yong's expression as she scolded her, but Xin Yong hugged her tighter.

"Mom, I'm so sorry, so sorry, I didn't think about it... I didn't know it will get this serious, mom, you know I love you. "

Xin Yong rubbed her face gently on her mom's back as she acted pettily.

"Have you told your dad? "

Her mom asked after a while, she continued peeling the apples carefully.

"No..., we're going to tell him together, actually, we were both going to tell you guys together, but I reasoned that it was better to tell you before hand. "

Xin Yong released her mom and came to stand by her side on the counter.

"Hmm, so who is he? "

Her mom's frown gradually turned into a smile. She turned to look at her daughter's cherry pink face.

"Uhmm... his name is Jin Yue, he's not from the middle class, he actually owes a company... "

That was it!. The main problem was his class in the society. She knew her mom didn't want any dealings with those from the higher class, she took them to be arrogant and very rude and treated those in the lower class as scum. That was the same case with her father.

"Mom, I actually love him very much, and he loves me too, so much. Please! please! "

Her mom watched her daughter surprised, after a few seconds she broke into a hearty laughter.

"But, I didn't say anything about you not getting married to him? "

Hearing that, Xin Yong immediately joined her mom in her laughter.

"But, I thought... I thought you didn't like them?, you always complained of how they treated the lower class and such. "

"Yes!, does that mean if one comes to marry my daughter whom I love so much, I'll refuse because he's from the higher class, besides who does not want a rich in-law these days? "

"Mom! "

Xin Yong laughed and jokingly nudged her mom. Her troubled heart finally calmed down.

"So, is he handsome? "

historical

Mrs Wang asked, lifting an eyebrow. Xin Yong laughed and nodded immediately.

"He's so handsome!, he's tall too and he is very nice and warm, you'll surely like him when you see him.

Xin Yong explained excitedly. She was so happy that her mom didn't disapprove of her engagement to Jin Yue.

"So when is he coming over? "

"On Saturday, he's a very busy person, so we agreed that he'll come over on Saturday."

After a while her mom asked,

"Hmm..., so have you done it yet?"

" "

Her mom didn't look at her this time, Xin Yong did not understand the meaning of what she said, so she asked, a bit confused.

"Done what yet? "

"Have you guys done IT yet? "

Mrs Wang emphasized on the IT so Xin Yong would understand. After a few seconds, she realized what her mom was saying, and she immediately exclaimed.

"Mom! "

"What?, can't I ask my daughter if she had had sex before getting married? Is it wrong to ask?"

"No... Yes, but it's just once..."

Mrs Wang didn't say a word, she just stared at Xin Yong for a while, then continued peeling the apples.

"You really kept a lot from me, my baby, and he has already gone there, what if... "

"No, there's no what ifs, he loves me and I love him, we're getting married,that's it! okay? "

Xin Yong cut her mom off immediately. She was sure Jin Yue loves her as much as he loves him, there was no need of thinking of the negative.

"Okay, but just be careful, okay?, I don't want my baby getting hurt. "

"I'm careful, don't worry so much, he loves me too much, he even wants us to get married as soon as possible, but I told him to wait, that I wanted to take it slow. "

Xin Yong clarified, she didn't want her mom having any doubt about him.

"Okay..., you've been standing here lazily, can't you see that these carrots need to be diced? "
