Chapter 197 - Mother's Wish Grandchildren

Andrea pouted her lips as she treated Lu Fang's face. He had a cut on his right brow, on his left cheek, and on the lower lip. They were in their living room fixing up her husband and her brother.

"There you go," she said as she placed a butterfly bandage on his cheek then turned to Yanmei and passed the pack of the same bandages. 

Andrea was sitting on a small stool in front of the man as he rested on the couch while his eyes closed. She was holding on a cotton bud and administered medicine on his lip before saying, "This oral gel will do but in my experience, it really isn't much of a help." 

"Hmmm…" Replied Lu Fang. 

Turning sideways, she checked if everyone was busy before  leaning closer to his ear and said, "I guess there's no kissing for a while."

Lu Fang smiled. He responded saying, "Babe, do you think a cut on my lip can stop me?"

They both ended up giggling, making everyone in the room curious. To those who were used to their ways like Gao Rou simply said, "They are at it again. An injury doesn't seem to stop them."

"Stop complaining Gao Rou and find yourself a girlfriend. I want grandchildren from you too. How about I find you a girlfriend?" Christina Lu said as she brought in some ice pack. 

Yeong Soon witnessed how sweet Lu Fang and Andrea were that she called out to her son and said, "Anton Yeong, you should be as loving as Andrea and Lu Fang towards Yanmei. She might get tired of your lack of affection and leave you."

She was truly concerned with how indifferent her son was. 

Yanmei's eyes blinked a few times hearing this. She quickly glanced at Yeong and their eyes met for a moment. She hurriedly looked away pretending to arrange the medicine kit next to her. 

"I don't know what you are talking about mom, I am affectionate towards Yanmei. See?" Yeong pulled Xia Yanmei by the waist, making her lose her balance and ended up sitting on Anton's lap. 

"Aaahhh," he cried in pain but held on to Yanmei's hand then gazed to his foster mother and said, "See? We are loving?"

"Yeong, let me get up. Your legs are sore," Yanmei said as she pushed herself up, her palms against his chest. 

He let her go, seeing Yeong Soon somewhat satisfied. 

Her brother's claims did not escape Andrea's eyes. She wondered if there is more to just pretending in Yeong's actions. She was also curious how Yanmei was taking it all in, knowing that her brother may not actually be gay.  

The living room area was fully occupied with visitors after the fight. The couple decided it was best for them to have an early dinner at their home rather than dining out. With the way Lu Fang and Yeong looked, they will only end up attracting attention. 

"Dinner is ready!" Called out Aunt Rosa. She prepared a few of her best dishes on top of what they ordered from the Starlight main restaurant.

"Mom, Dad, you can go ahead. We are just about to finish here," said Andrea. 

Lu Wei together with Cristina, Gao Rou, and Hanxi started with dinner. Mommy Soon and Han-joon followed, then later Lu Fang and Andrea.

Seeing that there was no one else left, Yanmei sat on the stool to face Yeong. She said, "Anton Yeong, we need to break up."

"What?"

"We can't keep deceiving your parents like this? Are you really not planning to have any relationship at all - a real one?"

He massaged his brows at the query and wondered himself. His pretend relation wasn't so bad, only that it wasn't real. "I don't know. My world is too complicated. I don't know if any women would be willing to live the same complications as I do."

Yanmei looked down at her hands, curious about what he meant. Her mouth opened, wanting to say more when she heard him say, "Most women I meet are irritating. You are the first one I've met who is not annoying. Huh, too bad you are not into men. Come on, let's eat. You are hungry right?"

Yeong completely ignored her request for a break-up and went about the evening pretending like she did not even raise it up. 

The dinner went smoothly as everyone was getting ready to leave when Chevre started crying. 

It was Karen, the nurse, who brought their boy to the dining area. "Mrs. Lu, I think Chevre is hungry again."

"Oh, he really is a boy. Is he often that hungry?" Asked Christina. 

Andrea received Chevre and started to comfort him, "Yes, mom. He sure keeps me up a lot."

While Andrea fed the babies, Christina was going on and on about how happy she was being a grandmother. She even proudly shared how she pressured both Lu Fang and Andrea about giving her grandchildren. She narrated well her contributions to achieving her goal when Yeong Soon cried all of a sudden. 

Everyone was caught off guard. Yanmei was especially concerned and started rubbing on her back. She asked, "Mommy Soon, anything wrong?"

She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at everyone. She then looked up to Yanmei and said, "Yanmei, I am so happy that you had opened my son's heart. I never imagined this day would come... that he would finally end up liking someone." She then turned to everyone in the table saying, "I now have hope of being a grandmother myself."

Those who were oblivious gave their awws while Lu Fang coughed and Yeong stared blankly at his plate.

Christina gave her biggest smile at Yeon Soon and shifted to Yeong with a wink saying, "grandchildren are every aging mother's wish." 

She then diverted her gaze to Lu Fang and suggested," How about adding two more babies, my son."

"Mom, I told you. We are taking a break for a year."

Her eyes squinted and immediately looked at Gao Rou. She saw him about to speak up, but she did not give him a chance. "Don't think you are getting away Gao Rou."
