Chapter 185 Something Important To Tell You
Ai stared at him, speechless. Jun was extremely displeased, and she could feel that with the ominous aura he was emitting.
Jun continued. "Since you know I am her boyfriend, I understand you would want to meet me. Today, I will be meeting my family to declare my relationship with Ai. After that, I will visit you to give my greetings soon. I hope it's fine with you."
Xie Nuying said nothing for several long moments after which she agreed. "Sure. I will be waiting."
Jun hung up and saw Ai staring at him with great amazement.
"What?"
Ai coughed. "Nobody has talked to Mom like that."
He sneered. "Nobody has talked to my Dad like that either the way you confronted him on that banquet night."
Her mouth twitched. "How do you know?" Dad himself. I must say you are gutsy. Apart from Mom and Grandma, he doesn't tolerate anybody talking to him in that tone."
Ai pursed her lips. "I didn't like him isolating you from the family like that. He also forbade you from coming to the party which I didn't like that either."
Jun trembled seeing her concern, and he leaned to kiss her on her lips.
"As for your mother, nobody can talk to you like that," he narrowed his eyes. "I didn't like her tone. If she wants to accuse someone, then she can accuse me. I popped the question first last night. I won't tolerate anybody pointing fingers at you, even if it's your mother," his icy voice sounded unforgivable.
Ai felt her heart thump for several beats. Normally, a boyfriend would panic if he is being caught by his girlfriend's parents. But not only did Jun not panic, he even lectured Ai's mother.
She softly chuckled and hugged him. "It's alright. I understand where she is coming from too."
"You can understand all you want but still, nobody can be disappointed at you!" He declared.
Ai smiled and kissed him on his lips. "You are so cute."
"Shut up. Don't call me cute! First Mom and now you…" he grimaced.
Ai then held a serious countenance. "You said to Mom that you will be meeting your family today."
That made him remember Nana's call, and he solemnly nodded. "I ignored the whole topic until now because I…" he sighed, "I really didn't want to face them. When I decided I will come out with it, my great-grandma fell sick, and I couldn't confess it anymore seeing her health deteriorate. But now I don't want to hide it."
He possesively grabbed her waist and shared a deep kiss with her. He tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear and pressed his forehead against hers. "Now, I have you. No way do I want anybody to associate me with Shui. You are my girlfriend, and only you can be by my side."
Slightly breathless with the kiss, Ai blushed. His words and resolve made her feel as if she was floating in the sky.
He kissed her forehead. "I will be back in sometime." ?
She furrowed her brows. "You are going alone?"
"Yeah."
She blinked. "No. I will come with you too."
"No. You stay here. It's gonna be a big mess and a whole lot of confusion. Plus, I have told Mom for having Shui's family come over too. I need to have a good conversation with them."
"I don't want to leave you alone to handle it. If we are in a relationship, we should do it together," Ai firmly stated.
He smiled and pressed her head against his chest. "I love you so much, Ai."
She hugged him back. "I love you too, Jun."
"I understand you are worried me. Trust me, I will be fine. I want them to meet you when the situation would calm down. Right now, it's just going to be a big shock for everybody. I don't want your and my family's first official meeting to be under such tension."
Ai still seemed dissatisfied and unconvinced.
"I promise I won't take much time," he tapped on her nose.
He then stared at her, not forgetting about the whole incidents that made him suspicious about Ai's rebirth.
"Ai, you…"
Ai slightly raised her head from his chest and tilted her head. "Hm?"
"It's out of context but…why did you want to join Sky?"
Ai blinked twice.
"Why did you want to leave Dream High?"
She trembled lightly. She had made an excuse in the post that she wanted to challenge herself by working in a different company. But she knew the truth and the reasons better than anybody - Her past life which she didn't want to repeat it this time.
But those reasons were for the world. For Jun…
The truth about her rebirth was her tightly guarded secret. She didn't feel like sharing it with anybody not that anybody would have believed her anyway. Her mother, Xie Nuying might have, but Ai decided against it nevertheless. She thought that she would take this secret to her grave but now that Jun asked this question, she wondered if she should tell him the truth.
He might find it bizarre but however unbelievable it was, she didn't want to hide such an important fact about her life from him. That's what love meant for her. She also believed that somebody else might laugh at her for talking about a fantasy concept like rebirth happening in real life. But Jun would never make fun of her. He would never take it lightly.
Jun was also thinking along similar lines. When he realized the course of Ai's fate changing, he started having questions in his mind. But his own rebirth also dawned upon him and the fact that Ai was unaware of it.
Which she shouldn't be anymore, considering that she was his girlfriend, and he vowed to live the rest of his life with her. There should be no secrets hidden between them.
"Jun. When you come back, I have to tell something important to you."
Jun didn't break his gaze from her and slowly nodded. "I have something important that I want to share with you too."
