Chen Lihua relaxed on the office chair in the study room as she answered Liu Longwei's call.
"You want us to have a Chinese wedding before the white wedding, why the sudden suggestion? Chen Lihua asked in a surprised voice.
"It's not a suggestion. It's what I want, just the same way you want a white wedding. I really want to see you in a Qipao (Chinese wedding gown), I know you would look breathtaking in it". Liu Longwei said with an anticipating expression on his face.
Chen Lihua asked as she rolled her eyes, "Are you serious right now?".
Liu Longwei answered without certainty, "Of course am serious. I want us to have a Chinese traditional marriage to display our culture, it is the right thing to do".
"Since you said something about recognizing out culture, then I have to agree since am someone that respects culture. I also wish I could have an Indian traditional marriage as well. Am just wondering how I would look".
Chen Lihua said with a smile on her face and a longing in her voice.
Liu Longwei scoffed, "You should have just said that you want to do all the traditional marriages from the different countries in the world".
Chen Lihua actually agreed with him, "I really wish it was possible. But I can't just throw money and time away just so I could have different types of weddings".
Liu Longwei was really amused, so he said to her, "I was actually joking with you, but I didn't expect you to agree immediately. Your reaction shows that if possible, you would really try different types of weddings in the world".
"Mmm. What date should we use for our traditional Chinese wedding and white wedding?". Chen Lihua asked as she tapped the pen inbetween her fingers on the table.
Liu Longwei said after a while, "Am OK with any date you choose. You just need to make the decisions on our wedding and tell me about it, because am OK with anything you do".
Chen Lihua almost exploded in anger, so she said sharply, "What do you mean you're OK with anything I do. Don't you care about the wedding? Don't you want to have an opinion on the wedding planning? Do you regret our marriage? If yes, tell me immediately so I can find a suitable husband myself".
Liu Longwei massaged his temples weakly, "Am sorry, I will help you in the wedding preparations from now onwards, and I will also chip in some suggestions where neccessary".
Then he adjusted himself on the bed comfortablely before asking the most important question to him right now, "You said you wanted to find a suitable husband, am I not suitable for you?".
Chen Lihua scoffed as she began to sketch on the jotter in front of her. The jotter contained some information about their wedding plans that she made for two weeks now.
But right now, her attention wasn't on the book but on the call. So she began to draw things on the book randomly.
Chen Lihua opened her mouth and said each word carefully, "I never said if you were suitable or not, so don't get me wrong. But you can learn to be a good and caring husband to your wife".
"OK Ma". Liu Longwei said helplessly. He really had to throw a cap away for Chen Lihua.
She should really be given an award for the most unreasonable human on Earth.
After thinking for a while, he suggested, "I think our traditional marriage and white wedding should be two weeks apart so you would have enough time to rest before getting busy again".
Chen Lihua slapped the table with her palm, still having the pen inbetween. The sound produced was not loud.
She was now beaming with a satisfactory smile on her face, "Now I know you're a caring husband. I will give you a 5 star ratings and then a 7 star rating when my satisfaction is saturated".
Liu Longwei didn't know what to do at her reply, so he stayed quiet.
Chen Lihua changed the topic of discussion back to the wedding planning, "Let's have our weddings on Fridays. I don't want it to be on weekdays or weekends, I wanted something inbetween, and so Friday came to my mind.
Let's have the traditional wedding on the second Friday of the month, and then the white wedding on the last Friday of the month. How do you see it?".
Liu Longwei said with a smile as his eyes stared at the closed curtains, "That's a wonderful date and arrangement. Should I buy our wedding rings here in Paris?".
At this point, Chen Lihua abandoned what she didn't know she was doing as she stood up in displeasure. It was as if, if she didn't stand up, she wouldn't be able to display her stance.
"You want to buy my wedding ring without my permission and opinion?".
Liu Longwei now stopped smiling as he was really troubled, "Didn't you tell me that I could make some decisions on our wedding? You even flare up when I left everything in your hands. But now am obeying your command, you became angry again. What is the problem?".
Chen Lihua sneered as she said, "Ehn I told you to help with the decisions as it was our wedding and not mine alone, and so should be planned by us. But it has nothing to do with my ring. It is my job to choose what I want to wear on my fingers for the rest of my life. So you got that mister? Show me the pictures of the most beautiful rings so I could take a pick. It would be better if I had so many fingers so I could put them all on my fingers".
Chen Lihua giggled like a child at the end of her speech.
Liu Longwei could not help but to say helplessly, "You are one weird Lady. Your temper is unstable. Are you stressed or are you on your period?".
