"I have a son. His name is Yang Mingshen. He is twenty-eight, handsome, single and a...very good man," Yang Bingqing's expression didn't twitch a bit as she said that.

Yang Cheng looked at his wife in disbelief.

Bingqing. Did your conscience not hurt even for a moment before saying that Mingshen is a good man?

Lihua stared at her, her lips parted in a wide O.

Am I being...set up for that mean doctor?

Yang Bingqing excitedly said, "I think you are perfect for my Mingshen! I am sure you will like him too. Do you want to meet him? Luckily, he is at home today. Oh my, what a fate!"

Wei's gaze darkened. "Perfect for Mingshen? She is my wife."

How dare someone set up his wife with another man?

Yang Bingqing frowned. "Wei. It's not good to bully your aunt. I know that you are Ruomei's fiance. How will this lovely girl be your wife then?"

Yang Cheng sighed. "It is true. She is Jiang Lixue, Wei's wife."

She looked at her husband in horror. "What!?"

"I told you, didn't I?"

"You didn't!"

His brow twitched. "I did. I think you were too busy looking for a blind date for Mingshen."

"T-Then what about Ruomei?"

He shrugged. "It's complicated. The Old Madam still favors her so…"

Yang Bingqing looked at Wei. "You married her?"

"En. She is my woman and now my wife."

She bit her lip, aggrieved. "Why didn't you marry Ruomei? If Lixue had been single, I would have definitely chosen her for Mingshen! You ruined all my excitement!"

Wei didn't show much emotion.

Lihua didn't know what to feel about this elderly aunt.

We just met and she already likes me so much for Mingshen?

Then she did some self-reflection.

Well, I liked Wei the moment I met him too. I am in no position to judge her *ahem.*

"There goes all my hope…" Yang Bingqing was saddened.

Lihua curiously studied her and wondered. "You are so sweet. How is that horrible doctor your son?"

Yang Cheng widened his eyes in surprise.

No woman, till date, had called Mingshen horrible because they were too busy in admiring his handsomeness.

"Are you sure he wasn't exchanged at birth?"

Yang Bingqing blinked her eyes and then burst into laughter. "Hahaha. This is the first time I meet someone who is openly calling him horrible! No, dear. He wasn't exchanged at birth. He is my biological son. Alas, he takes over his father, unfortunately," she sighed.

Yang Cheng felt utterly unjust for getting all the blame.

"Damn, now I like you even more for Mingshen. Why did you have to marry Wei! Why didn't you meet my son sooner!"

Wei gritted his teeth as he downed imaginary jars of vinegar one after the other.

Lihua coughed. "Aunt. I am sorry to say this, but even if I had met him earlier than Wei, I still wouldn't have chosen him. He is...he is...crazy and mean and a very difficult person."

She shuddered thinking of the time when Mingshen had come to school to 'help.'

Yang Bingqing glared at her husband. "Look what your genes have done! They scare away every girl!"

Yang Cheng was speechless.

Why am I being dragged everywhere?

To divert the topic, he asked as he looked at Wei, "So, how are you here?"

"Meet Mingshen," Wei plainly said.

Yang Bingqing rolled her eyes. "He is busy in his lab as usual. That boy will become a dead body himself if he wanders so much around them!"

Lihua cried. "Aunt you are right! He talks about nothing but to make me his research subject. He always threatens me using that!"

She fumed even more. "How dare he? Let him come out of his cocoon! I will give him a nice beating today."

Lihua furiously nodded. "Yes, Aunt. You have to give me justice," she wiped her eyes.

Yang Bingqing patted her hand. "Don't worry, dear. You will not suffer anymore. By the way…"

"Yes, Aunt?"

"I cannot set you up with Mingshen. But do you have a sister?" She eagerly asked.

Wei froze.

"I…"

He suddenly grabbed her wrist. "We have to head back home too. So, let's quickly meet Mingshen and get done with it."

Wei pulled her in a hurry and left.

"Hey wait! You didn't answer me!" Yang Bingqing was displeased. "That Wei! Why is he in so much hurry?"

---

Wei hurriedly walked, holding Lihua's hand as he made his way to Mingshen's lab.

"S-slow down a little Wei…"

He stopped in his steps and saw her huffing a bit behind him. He looked at her, concerned and guiltily. "I am sorry."

He calmed down a bit after getting away from Mingshen's parents. He wondered why it was such a bad day today.

First, Jiang Ruiling and Shen Yang ruined his shopping date. Then Meng Ya came into the picture and now Yang Bingqing mentioned Lihua's sister.

What if she remembered something about Song Jia?

Lihua put her hand on his forehead. "Are you okay, Wei? You seem a little…lost today. A little pale too."

He then realized that he made Lihua worry. He smiled and cupped her cheek. "I am fine. Our shopping was left incomplete because of Ruiling so…" he lowered his head.

Lihua facepalmed. "It's okay. She is a part of our family. How can we not bother to know anything after seeing her with Shen Yang and act as if we don't care about her? That would be so heartless."

He sighed. "You are right."

She kissed his cheek. "Don't worry. We will go for another shopping date very soon. After all, I am not going anywhere."

Wei stared at her in a stupor. "Promise?"

"En. Pinky promise. We have so many days to have so many dates! Haha."

He pulled her into his embrace and whispered. "En. You are right. We will be always together."

She giggled and hugged him back.

Suddenly, a cold, irritated voice came from afar. "Hey, you two! My lab is not a fucking brothel. No making out in front of my lab."

Startled, Lihua turned to see Mingshen standing at the entrance, throwing a dirty and annoyed look at them.
