BXBX NOVEL Chapter 808: Easy
Cutting Songpa off, Huiling quickly said, "No dad, Huang did not do anything and it's not like you think. What I am about to say includes both of us together and its very important too so you all need to calm down and listen to it carefully."
"Okay, so what is it?" Beth asked.
Intertwining their hands together, Huiling took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Huang and I, we are together and we are dating for months now." Without waiting for their reply, she explained further, "Like I know this is weird but—"
"Damn it, you are good for nothing Huang. Are you really my son?" Robbin grunted before grumpily taking out his wallet and giving a bunch of cash to Songpa.
Grinning from ear to ear, Songpa took the bunch of cash from Robbin and stated, "See I told you."
When Beth cleared her throat, Songpa gave the money to her. "Yes, you were right honey."
Taking the cash, Beth chuckled, "She was inside me for nine months, I know my daughter more than you do."
Looking at their parents who were juggling with a bunch of cash, Huang frowned, "What is happening here? Did we miss something?"
"You should keep shut or maybe dig a hole and bury yourself because you just made your father lose money," Robbin fumed.
Smacking his arm, Linda frowned, "Don't scold my son, can't you see how scared he was?"
"Wait a minute, you guys already knew about us?" Huiling inquired.
Giving his daughter a half shrug, Songpa chuckled, "It wasn't hard to figure out, well, you both are really bad liars too."
"Then what about that lowkey warning that you gave me a few days back?" Huang curiously inquired,
"Ah that was just to scare the shit out of you. I mean, I did not think it would work but surprisingly it did so—"
Cutting Songpa off, Robbin scrunched his brows, "You scared Huang? That was against the rules, you broke the rules so give me my money back."
"What rules? I don't remember setting any rules. It was just a simple bet and—"
Cutting them off, Huiling curiously asked, "What's with the bet now? And why are you guys trading money?"
Awkwardly clearing his throat, Songpa explained, "Well after we confirmed our suspicion, we decided to play a little bet with real money and—"
"But how did you all find out about us in the first place?"
Linda helplessly shook her head and chuckled, "Well, we have to thank Gabriela for that."
"Gabriela? She told you about us?" Huiling frowned. The sudden mention of the woman who wanted to get into her man's pants so desperately that she even shamelessly stripped herself n.a.k.e.d in his office made Huiling feel slightly sore and mostly irritated.
"Not exactly but she did unintentionally give me a few hints about the whole thing and that is when I told your dad," Linda explained.
"Uh huh and then I told Songpa about it who did not believe me at first but later even he agreed," Robbin added.
Thinking for quite some time, Huang asked, "What about the bet then? What was that based on?"
"Well, it was nothing so complicated. We were just wondering which one of you would take all the trouble to tell us about your relationship first. Songpa thought that Huiling was the brave one so she would take the lead while I thought that my son was braver one but I was wrong," Robbin explained.
Pinching the bridge of her nose, Huiling sighed, "So since you guys already know, you don't have any problem right?"
"Not really but there are still a few things I need to tell Huang." Walking towards Huang, Songpa patted his shoulder, "I don't really have any problem with you but Huiling is my daughter, my only daughter."
Gulping in nervousness, Hunag nodded his head, "Yes uncle Songpa, I know." The way Songpa emphasized on the word 'only', for some odd reason brought shivers down his spine.
"Maybe what I had said earlier was for fun because I just wanted to scare you but if you hurt my daughter, just remember that I haven't used my tool box for years." Without waiting for Huang's reply, he patted his shoulder, "So be careful before you do anything reckless."
"I promise that I'll never let you down."
"Good, now you both can go to your rooms and rest because we need to rest too."
Looking at her parents, Huiling raised her brows in suspicion. "That's it? You guys are not gonna make things difficult for us?"
"Honey, why would we do that? All we want is you to be happy and if you are happy with Huang then we are completely okay with it," Beth answered.
"It's the same for us, I am very happy that Huang found such a wonderful woman for himself. I am so proud of you and Huang," Linda smiled.
"But—"
Cutting her off, Huang whispered, "Honey, I think we should leave before they change their mind." Without waiting for her reply, he slowly guided her out of the room.
….
Huang and Huiling's room
Pacing back and forth in the room, Huiling snapped, "I am telling you Huang, this was way too easy than I thought."
"Isn't that great? How is that wrong?"
"Don't you think that it's too suspicious?" she inquired.
"What? Not at all, we got what we wanted and now we are official just like Guang and Qiang." Pulling her closer, he sighed, "I think you are just overthinking honey, everything is okay."
"But—"
Cutting her off, he started kneading her shoulders, "Let me give me a nice massage to calm you down."
Leaning against his chest, she sighed, "This is way too easy than I thought." Huiling had prepared a whole speech to make their parents believe that they loved each other but things went pretty smoothly so she did not get a chance to use it.
"Hmm it did but isn't it for the best?"
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Huiling pouted her lips, "i knew mom would give me a normal reaction but dad, his reaction did not make sense. I know my dad and he is not someone who is usually okay with things like this."
…..
Beth and Songpa's room
"Alright honey, take a few deep breaths," Beth instructed.
"I cannot believe that she really has a boyfriend and she is actually dating that Chen guy," Songpa snapped.
"But we knew about this already right? We even had played the bet with—"
Cutting her off, he gritted his teeth, "Oh I had agreed to that because I wanted to look cool."
Scrunching her brows, she inquired, "But you also gave them you blessings."
"Because that rat gave them his blessings, I didn't want to look like the black sleep and narrow minded in front of him. I mean what would Huiling think of her father? I didn't want her to think that Huang's father was better than hers," he answered. No he wasn't okay with his daughter dating someone, in fact, he wasn't even okay with her staying all by herself in some other apartment.
"Wait a second, so you did this to make yourself look cooler than Robbin?" When Songpa nodded his head, she helplessly shook her head and sighed, "You are unbelievable, you are the father of two twenty-five year old a.d.u.l.ts and yet you still behave like a kid."
"We need to do something to break them off and then we will bring Huiling with us. This way, she will forever live with us and—"
"Do you think that planning to break off your daughters relationship with the man she loves will make you look cool?"
"Obviously it won't, but it will make a responsible father and—"
"No Songpa, that will make you look bad and your daughter will hate you for meddling with her personal affairs." After taking a deep, Beth sighed and made her way towards the bed, "I really can't deal with you right now, I need to sleep and take some rest."
"What if Huang is cheating on her? What if he already has another—" he stopped midway when a cushion landed straight on his face.
"Sleep otherwise I'll throw you out of the room," she snarled.
Left with no other choice, Songpa sighed and crawled to his side of the bed.
Wrapping her arms around his waist, she snuggled closer. "Huiling is happy so as good parents, we should be happy for her too. You can't just break them off and even if you do, think how badly that will hurt Huiling and huang as well." Pausing for a while, she added, "Our daughter is big enough to take her own decisions and it is her decision to be with Huang."
Without saying anything, he kissed the top of her head and sighed.
