Chapter 212 - 212 Upstairs

How can I?

He said as if I know what Auntie Ling duty, or what he wants her to do today, and I have no intention at all to following him to upstairs to finish what I've started.

So I sit exactly where I am, taking a deep breath of confidence.

"Auntie Ling, I just wanted to apologise about this morning," I say shyly.

She rolls her eyes.

"Don't worry, Wei Lin," She assures.

"I was so daring this morning... and I don't know you were coming," I feel my cheeks burning up again as I pick at the last bits of my toaster.

"Wei Lin, it's fine. Feng Teng has told auntie that he has forgotten telling you upon my coming. I can understand." She smiles at me sincerely.

I like Auntie Ling so much. She was friendly and kind-hearted. So curious how long she has been working for Feng Jia.

"I will be more awareness next time," I take my plate to the sink and to wash it, but before I could do it the plate is whipped from my hand before I have a chance to see through my chore.

"Wei Lin. Auntie will do that. You better go and help my boy with whatever it is he needs you for honey," Auntie Ling stop me.

Oh boy, I know exactly what her boy needs me for and I'm not going to him. And it's almost killing me to deny him just now, but his face was just so funny.

"It's okay Auntie. He will manage it alone." I excuse her with a brilliant reason.

"Oh. Okay then, shall we go through what Auntie should start with?" She takes a pad and pen from the front of her apron and gets ready to take notes.

"Should Auntie probably start with the washing and ironing?" She asked.

"Erm, I not sure," I shrug.

"Because I just start to live here fully a few days ago," I whisper.

Should I say that I've  been force to sign the marriage certificate and Feng Teng move my things unwillingly before our marriage?

"You don't know?" Her face is puzzled.

"But my boy said you know all things going need in this penthouse," She says in puzzled.

"Well, it's true but not his habitual lifestyle," I explain.

Her shiny forehead furrows.

"What, my boy not telling you all his life about so yet?"

I smile.

"Yes, he barely opens all at me auntie," I say honestly.

"Well, it's nice to have Missus in the house then," she says, collecting some cleaner from under the sink.

"Now my boy a wife to take care of him so i feel more restless," she muses to herself.

I smile at Auntie Ling affectionate referral to Feng Teng. I wonder how long she has worked for Feng Jia?

And Feng Teng had said that she was the only woman he couldn't live without, now I know why. Because Auntie Ling was so loveable and caring. I bet she's must be one the Oldest Housekeeper that's has been taken care of Feng Teng since he was born. 

Now I already married to Feng Teng and mostly about Feng Jia or Feng family details background, I was still clueless. When I was doing Feng family background I only found useless information about them. Even elder Feng only have one picture of it on google.

Hmm, I need to ask FengTeng about his family jore one day. And tonight going to be my first time meeting his grandfather, Elder Feng.

She starts wiping stool and cleaning the kitchen.

"Auntie will wait for Feng Teng then. You can go do your thing darling," She says.

"Yes, thank you, auntie. I'm just going to make a few calls then." I notice my phone charging on the side but no bag.

"Oh, auntie. Have you seen my phone auntie?" I ask.

"There. Auntie put it in the study, darling. Oh, and I've hadthe security sort out the elevator door too," She informs.

I nodded.

"Thanks, Auntie." I grab my phone and make my way out of the kitchen to retrieve it.

I glance down at my phone, seeing two missed calls from my mom.

My shoulders sag. Now I should ring my mom first, but I need my friend with some explaining too. 

She eventually answers. I know she'll be looking down at her screen, wondering what to say.

"You're betrayal A***!" I blurt accusingly when she picks up.

"And?" She's aiming for nonchalance, but I'm detecting irritation.

"Why did you tell him?" I ask.

"I just worried for you," she said.

"Thanks so much for your worried!"  I'm completely offended.

We always at each other back before but now he betrayed my trust.

"I'm sorry, Feng Teng forced me to spill. So I've no choice," she huffs impatiently.

Hey! I've heard this before, but I know there's more to it. I know she loves Kevin and I can  see how she must become Feng Teng allies or minion already.

"You keep saying that." I scream down the phone.

"Why don't you just admit that you are Feng Teng allies or minion now?" I yell a bit.

"How could you think that far?" she asks, her tone indicating surprise, surprise that I've come out to that extent .

"I know you have like Kevin over high heels, so that why you surrender to Feng Teng easily," I say, completely exasperated.

She scoffs.

"I do not!" She yells.

"You're so hopeless, besties!"  I snap.

Why can't she just swallow her pride and admit it? What harm would it do, especially to me?

"Talking of hopeless how's you man now? Tell me about, your man damn freaking possessive king!" She screams.

I laugh.

"He always likes that and easily got threatened too," I confirm her.

"Wow, that so romantic, you really hit a jackpot lady Wei," She laughs, and I can't help the small smile of satisfaction developing on my face.

"Anyway, I've got to call my mom. I guess I'll see you later then," I say.

"Okay Mrs Feng," she chirps excitedly. I can't match her excitement for the anniversary dinner tonight.

"See you there!" She bid.

"Bye." I hang up and dial my mom before she sends out the search party.

"Xiao Wei?" Her shrill voice assaults my eardrums.

"Mom," I say.

"Sorry. Mo Yuan called again." She informs.

What?

I take myself across to the main open area and sit myself down. Any hopes of being cheered up by my mother have been well and truly dashed with that little statement.

"He said you seemed to have a new boyfriend who has a terrible temper. He even hauled you up to a building. What happens here?" She says strictly.

I fall back in a chair and look up to the ceiling in total mental exasperation.

Why can't the prick just crawl into the dark hole he came from and die? "

"Mom, please don't speak to him anymore." I plead.

"Is it true?" she asks tentatively. I can see her in my mind's eye flicking a worried glare at my Dad.

"No mom," I can't completely lie to her.

She'll have to find out where I am eventually.

"It's not like what Mo Yuan says," I denied.

'Well, what is it then? She asks.

Oh, I can't do this over the phone. There is far too much to explain and I don't want her passing judgment on Feng Teng.

"Mom, listen. I've got to get to work." I think a little white lie won't hurt right.

"Xiao Wei, I'm so worried about you," Mom says weakly.

I can sense her despair. I hate Mo Yuan for doing this, but ?

Was that before or after he called my parents to give them an update on my love life?

I should tell about him to Feng Teng around to warn him to not bothering me anymore? Should I?

"Don't worry mom. Mo Yuan only wanted to get back with me. Feng Teng was just wanted to protect me at that time, " I try to cut a long story short and purposely leave out any parts that could tarnish Feng Teng reputation.

"Feng Teng? Was that the guy who with you when I called last weekend?" She asks.

"Yes." I sigh.

"So, he's not just a friend?" Her tone is scornful.

She's rumbled my small white lie and she won't be happy about it.

"Mom, I'm just start seeing him. It's nothing serious yet," I try and play it down and laugh in my head.

Oh, God. I can't believe I just said that.

"And he's got a great temper too?" she prompts.

I let out a tired breath that I know she won't appreciate.

"He's not a temper, Mom. Mo Yuan just being too exaggerated, he knows nothing about Feng Teng. Just ignore him. And don't answer any more of his calls." I say.

"But I'm not happy about this. There is no smoke without fire, Xiao Wei," She doesn't sound happy and I can't blame her.

Before I've never been so glad that they live so far away. I don't think I could tell ir introduced Feng Teng as theirs son in law yet. My daddy condition too. He might get a heart attack if he know that I've got married to Feng Teng secretly. What should I do now?
