Chapter 274 - 274 Goddess Ascend

"Sorry mom, things came to fast and I just realised recently that I've fallen in love with him. After that time, I got busy with work on the same. So I have forgotten to inform you, sorry mom please?" I plead my mom guiltily.

"You forgetful one. But good things Feng Teng told us, if not I don't know until when you would hide from us," she said hurtfully.

"I'm sorry mom, please?" I plead.

Then mom embrace me softly before speaking to Feng Teng,

"Ahh. Do you mind if I use your toilet, son-in-law?" My mom asks

What? Son in law? Already?!

Am I dreaming?

"Sure, mother. They're just beside the corner at from the kitchen," Feng Teng nod and smile.

I shook a confuse face at Feng Teng.

Seriously?

As he flicking his eyes to me, then back to my Mom.

"Oh, thank you," Mom leaving us as she went for the toilet.

"So what your company do, son?" Dad starts, and I groan.

Feng Teng pulls me back onto the chair.

"Mainly Conglomerate and Oil & Gas," he answers.

"Wow, Feng Group sure was live up to this S city name," Dad answers in a thought.

Feng Teng squeezes me slightly.

"Yes, it is. I'll take you walking to the building one day, perhaps on your next visit," Feng Teng.

What? NO WAY!

I scream frantically in my thought.

"Nah, that inappropriate to do so. Let's just troll off in town, your mother would love that," Daddy rolls his eyes.

Feng Teng nodded at daddy.

"It's a nice home," Daddy praised as he looks around the kitchen and then back at Feng Teng.

"Thank you, Dad but your beloved daughter was responsible for that, she did a really good job on this building," He starts curling my hair around his finger.

"Then this is the big project that you mention and stole almost of your time, isn't it?" Dad muses.

"Yes, it is" I smile at him.

"I know, that's my daughter," Dad praising me.

"Thanks, Dad," I'm more than relieved when I hear the front doorbell.

"Do you want to get that? Feng Teng pats my back and I stand.

"Who is it?" I blurt.

"I don't know either. Go and look who is it," He pushes me away, and I leave both of them to continue small talk as I make my way to the front door.

When I open the door, I find my brother along with SiSi and Kevin, all stood in front of the door and my first thought is my brother and SiSi why are they just within a mile from each other only?

Gosh! This is surely bad.

Just then my brother steps in forward with a big smile on his face and I all but throw myself on him, forgetting all back pain and awkward tension between him and my best friend.

"So what you all doing here?" I squeeze him to me and he laughs.

"Just followed as what I'm told," He fights me off and holds me back.

"You look pretty joyful," he says on a bright smile.

"So where's this new sudden man and who I need to give the warn "If he ever dares to hurt my little pie" I need to give him speech too.

I wave of fear flies through me at the thought of Feng Teng would accepting any such speech from others man.

"He is in the kitchen, but I don't think you don't need to do that," I warn him.

He eyes me warily.

"NO! That's my duty and MUST," he states firmly and then looks past me into the penthouse.

"Oh my god!" he whispers as he saw a load of the space.

He exclaims with loud before saunters off to the kitchen.

Then SiSi steps forward with a clear look of trepidation of her pale face. She wraps her arms around me.

"Darling. This has to be the most awkward situation I have ever put myself in,' she whispers in my ear. 

I laugh.

"Ease up on your grip," I shrug her slightly.

"Does Kevin know your past with my brother?" I whisper back.

"Sorry and not yet." She says.

"Hey! Where's the love?" Kevin removes SiSi and throws his arms around me gently.

"Lady. You are pretty madwoman," he says quietly.

"I know," I agree. 

But who cares? Feng Teng is mine alone anyway.

"Don't you ever do that again. The king almost went crazy after seen your stated last time," he scorns me.

"So where's my king?" He asks.

"He's in the kitchen," I inform him.

He removes his arm away before heads for the kitchen. Then I look at SiSi and she shakes her head.

"Darling, if I could've got out of this, I would run out immediately," She lets out a stressed breath.

"Chill down, I'm here," I assure her.

Then SiSi takes my hand and we go back to the kitchen, along I finding Feng Teng is making the introductions.

And my brother cautious eyes flick between Feng Teng and Kevin for a whole lot of different reasons that only in between men know.

I look at my besties and she shakes her head.

"Darling, I wish I could've helped out of this, but you blissful day is here," She lets out a stressed breath.

"Ready?" She takes my hand and we go back to the kitchen, finding Feng Teng making the introductions with my parent.

Just then Auntie Ling appears from nowhere with Butler Zhang and five maids from Feng Household behind before Feng Teng leaves the kitchen table to have a word with them.

I look at him as he lets Aunty Ling embraces him proudly and kiss his on the cheek as all mother did. Then he shakes Butler Zhang hand before point his finger around the kitchen and through to the terrace as if he gave a real serious instruction.

After that Auntie Ling shoos him away and gives me a warm smile.

"Dear. What's going on here?" I ask him when he joins me back by the table.

"Oh, we're having a family and friend dinner," He informs gently.

"You mean here? With everyone?" I ask.

"Yes, I arranged an official dinner with your parent and do the honours. So we are going to eat on the terrace since today is my most blissful and happiness dinner," He places me in front of him and brushes my hair away from my face.

"Are you planning this before?" I blurt out.

He c.o.c.ks his head to the side.

"I just want to have a good dinner with my wife family and my friend together," He says.

"Still I can't believe you did all of this," I say.

He c.o.c.ks his head to the side.

"For you, whatever it takes and you have known this too," He says.

My hands slide up his jacket sleeves to rest on his biceps.

"But you might get the loving brother speech," I smile apologetically.

"So what do you have a way could humour him?" I ask.

His lips press into a straight line.

"If you mean another man going telling me how to look after you? I don't think it needs so," He denied.

My shoulders sag slightly.

"Whatever it takes?" I whisper his words.

Now, I can't even begin to imagine how much it pained and patience cause him before talking with my parents and I know it has gone against all of his instincts.

He rests his finger under my chin and drops a light kiss on the corner of my mouth.

"Yes, whatever it takes. You will be mine only," he confirms.

"Let's go, we shouldn't let our honour guest waiting too long," He informed.

Then he proceeds everyone out from the kitchen and onto the terrace, where I find everything has been set for a meal.

The outside dining table has been superbly laid, the patio heaters have been lit to take the edge off the cool evening air and bottles of wine and beer are chilling in the drinks fridge by the huge built-in barbeque.

As all look perfect arranged, I throw him a questioning look.

How did he manage all of this in short of time unless it's had been the plan for time being?

He smiles and gives me a gesture of reassures.

While I was sleeping most of the day, I've not aware that he has been busy meeting my parents this morning and preparing all of this?

Still, I can't believe that he did all of this for me.

As I'm in a half trance as the people I love the most in the world converse, chat, laugh and drink at the table, while Butler Zhang and his maid prepare and serve a luscious feast. I feel Feng Teng keeps his hand firmly on my knee, choosing to eat one-handed, squeezing every so often, particularly harder when my brother launching his older brother speech. And I see Feng Teng is struggling to remain polite and gracious while they chat, and when my mother catches the line of conversation, I'm immensely grateful for her intervention. She cut my brother and smiles sweetly at Feng Teng before picking up her conversation with SiSi, who has eased up slightly after a few glasses of wine inside her, although you can't ignore the tension that is bristling between her and my brother.

And Kevin, who is completely still unaware and doing a good job of making my Daddy laugh hard and only God know their history.

"Hm, babe SiSi seem not to like her normal self," Feng Teng asks as he observes quietly before he pours up my water glass.

"Is she okay?" he asks concerns.

"SiSi and my brother the have a long history," I reply, equally as quietly and out of earshot of my brother.

"Quiet complicated for us to know," I say.

Then Feng Teng eyebrows rise in surprise as he just heard a piece of big news from me.

"Oh, I see. So, babe, do you enjoy your meal?" Feng Teng ask me.

"Yes, it was very yummy," I rest my hand over him on my knee.

"And thank you," I say.

"Most welcome my love," he winks.

"So now nothing anymore going block us in the way, does it?" He gives me an expectant look.

"Yes, seem all the path you have clear it up," I smile and then melt when he gives me his smile, the one reserved only for me, his eyes twinkling in contentment.

"Haha, I'm glad you said that," He stands, halting all conversation at the table, all attention turned to him.

He pulls my chair out.

"Babe, please get up a bit," he instructs, and I stand on a frown.

"Excuse us for a few minutes," he says to our silent guests, before leading me away by my hand.

"Huh? Where are we going?" I ask his back.

He halts, turns and drops to his knee in front of me, only a few feet away from the table.

Then I hear my Mom sharp intake of breath and mine that follows shortly after. I look down at him with a gaping mouth and wide eyes as he takes my hand and looks up at me with crystal clear eyes.

"Erm… Erm..Shall we try this the traditional way?" he asks quietly.

I start to physically shake.

"Oh God," I breathe through as I know what's going on.

Then I turn slowly and looking at the table as everyone all watching us intently.

And my Mom has her hand over her mouth and my Daddy has a small smile on his lips. But my brother is expressionless and SiSi with Kevin are quite relaxed in their chairs with their matching grins.

As my heart raise gallop in my chest then I return my body to face my beloved man, I glazed my eyes to match his.

Right now? No! He's only just met, my parents. He shouldn't do this again and not in front of them.

Yes, especially my parent and brother. 

NO, please. NO!
