Chapter 3Zhan didn't know what to say. His grandma accepted to such a big and serious matter without even consulting him. At least he has a right to say something. He couldn't just jump into anything which might make him regret later.
"Grandma, you have to listen to me first, I have my own decision to make, it's my life grandma." Zhan said almost in tears, this can't be happening, he doesn't even know who this Mrs. lan is, the only thing he knows about her is she's a frequent customer at his restaurant, but it never crossed his mind her visits were for looking for a wife to his son.
"I am old, I can't take care of you and look after you forever, you need someone else to look after you." Zhan grandma patted his grandson' long hair, Zhan took off his glasses and wiped his tears away then put them on again.
"I can take care of myself grandma, I am a man, though a hermaphrodite, I can look after myself, you don't have to worry about me." Xiao Zhan answered, he will never accept to get married to a person he doesn't even know, it has never crossed his mind something like dating let alone marriage!.
"It's my last wish before I die, if I leave my grandson with someone who promised to take good care of him then I will have no regrets, promise grandma that you will do this." Zhan grandma begged Zhan didn't know what to say, he will never say no to his grandmother, he is the only parent he has. The person who took care of him since he was little till now that he is a grown up, he gave him everything that he has asked without complaining, took care of him when he was sick, kept him warm, sang him lullaby, told him bed stories, actually his grandma did everything to make him happy and have a healthy childhood just like any other children.
"Ok grandma, I promise you." Zhan grandma hugged his grandson. She knew his grandson deserves the best, he is a good boy, he was brought up well, he grew up being a good child.
Later that evening
Wang yibo returned back to his parents’ house and found his mother sited with his daddy while playing mahjong. Wang yibo sighed, his parents are really addicted with such a game.
"Hi mom and dad, you called me to be here, is there anything that you want to tell me?" Yibo asked his parents, he is tired and the only thing he wants to do is shower, have some light dinner then sleep.
"I want you to meet the person I chose for you, before we go meet him and his family." Mrs. lan said and texted his son the number of Xiao Zhan, yibo was really tired that he didn't bother to think any further or realise that his mother said, 'him not 'her'. Yibo saved the phone number.
"Got it, I will call her once I am free then set a date, if theirs’s nothing else I will get going." Wang yibo got up to leave but his father called him.
"You didn't ask for his name, how did you save his number?" Mr. lan asked.
"I saved as wife to be, but it will not be bad if you tell me her name."
"Xiao Zhan." Mrs. lan said with a wide smile, yibo nodded his head and left, getting in his car, he motioned the driver to drive, he needs a good rest. Xiao Zhan on the other hand was nervous, his worker's realised that their boss isn't ok, he seems to be spacing out most of the time, whenever they ask him if something is wrong, his answer will be I am fine just thinking about life, theirs’s nothing to worry about.
One week later
Zhan decided to just accept his fate, luckily he has never seen that woman or hear anything from her, maybe she has finally given up, she has realised she made a mistake, or his son found someone else and the lady is embarrassed to come and inform him and his grandma the good news, though his grandma might be hurt but to Xiao Zhan it will be the greatest news ever.
Xiao Zhan was checking on his account books when his phone started ringing, he checked and saw a new number, Zhan ignored the call, but then the same number called again. Zhan received the call with a frown on his face.
(Who are you? What do you want?) The bored Xiao Zhan asked.
(Hello, I never expected the person I am supposed to marry to be this rude) Zhan grasp on his phone loosened, it was about to fall down but he composed himself.
(W-who are you? Who are you going to marry? You must be mistaken)
(Wait, you must be Xiao Zhan, I am wang yibo, my mother came to meet you a week ago to make the story short, I want us two to go out for a date.)
Zhan face went pale, his mouth became dry, he doesn't know what to say, it felt like a big lump has stuck on his throat.
