Crashing Into You - Chapter 259

“I believe you” Song Dei Si said. “I am really glad that you are moving on, time will come that you will meet your one great love too”

I think I already met him. Tan Ja Nin wanted to tell Song Dei Si. But how can she start?

They have chatted for another 45 minutes before they bid goodbye to each other.

Yan Mor Tee was already fast asleep when their conversation ended. Song Dei Si lie down to bed next to him and hug him in a nuzzle position.

…..

At the breakfast table, Ho Min Lin told her parents that she will be going out of the country next weekend.

“Philippines? You said you’re going to the beach next weekend?” Master Ho asked. “Wifey, didn’t you say you wanted to go to the beach to unwind? Why don’t we join our daughter next weekend?”

Ho Min Lin eyes widened in disbelief.

No. No way. It’s going to be her first out of trip together with Tan Ji Nan alone. Why would her parents tag along?

Madam Ho eyes was glistening. “Yes, I always wanted to go to the beach because it’s been awhile we haven’t taken a beach trip” She looked at Ho Min Lin and said. “Ho Min Lin, please book us to the same flight and resort like yours.”

Ho Min Lin frowned. “Why are you tagging along? I’m going with my boyfriend.”

“That’s why we wanted to join! Don’t tell me that you’re going on a trip with him alone?” Madam Ho asked.

Her parents were so convervative that why she grew up inheriting this trait from them. But for Pete sake, she was already 26 years old.

She pouted her lips.

“We won’t allow you to travel with him if you won’t tag us along. Also, don’t you think it is a good opportunity for us to know your boyfriend on more a personal level?” Master Ho said.

Ho Min Lin sighed. It seems that she has no other choice but to tag her folks along with them on this trip.

“Okay, I’ll book the same flight for you and mom.” She said frustratedly.

Master Ho and Madam Ho looked at each other and a smile formed their lips. Tan Ji Nan has already told them his plan of proposing to their daughter. In fact, they were just waiting for their daughter to tell them that she will be going out of the country so they could tell her that they will be joining. They appreciate Tan Ji Nan when he wanted to include them on his plan when proposing to Ho Min Lin. She was their only daughter and would love to witness this momentus event on their daughter’s life. So eventhough they knew that their daughter never wanted them to tag along with her supposedly alone time together with Tan Ji Nan, they could only afford to act that it didn’t bother them. So even when she was pouting all through out breakfast they could not stop her.

After breakfast, Ho Min Lin was preparing to leave for work and yet her bad mood has not subsided yet. She cannot come to the office with that gloomy attitude so she called Song Dei Si to vent her disgust.

“What’s wrong with having your parents around while your on the trip with Ji Nan? Don’t you like it? Ji Nan won’t have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and you can still preserve your viriginity for your husband in the future? If you’re alone together in a romantic place like Pulongsea, the possibility of you putting down all your defenses will be too high”

Song Dei Si said to Ho Min Lin while she was walking to the pathway from the parking loy going to the Masters of Cookery School.

“But I have decided…” Ho Min Lin could not finish her sentence because she was too shy to tell it to Song Dei Si.

“You’ve decided on what?” Song Dei Si asked.

“I-I’ve decided to give it to Tan Ji Nan at Pulongsea because I am pretty sure that he will only be my man for the rest of my life.”

Song Dei Si laughed “Silly! You’ve deprived him for so long and yet you will give up in the end? What happen to our chastity agreement?”

Ho Min Lin pouted. “Will you disown me as your bestfriend if I break it.”

“Silly, of course not, but since you’ve already gone too far on protecting it, why give up now? Hold your horses until the right time came along…” Song Dei Si said, she wanted to tell Ho Min Lin to wait for few more months to become Mrs Tan but she could only give her hints.

“Okay and Ji Nan also promised me that he can wait…” Ho Mi Lin said “Where you at now?”

“I’m on my way to my cooking class so I’ll hang up the phone now. Don’t worry about having your parents on your trip with Ji Nan, just think of it as a good opportunity for your parents to know Ji Nan more. You still have a lot of opportunity to travel alone with Ji Nan in the future.”

“Yeah! Okay, get ready your cooking class now. I’m about to leave for work as well. Thanks for listening to my rant early in the morning.”

“Okay, bye now..!”

“Bye!”

…..

Ho Min Lin read and answered important emails as soon as she got in. She almost forgot that she needs to book her parents flight if her mom did not send her a message for a follow up. She remembered, she haven’t told Tan Ji Nan yet that her parent will tag along with them so she sent him a message on WeChat.

HO MIN LIN: I have something to say….

Tan Ji Nan was at his private office and just got off from his early meeting when he read Ho Min Lin’s message.

TAN JI NAN: What is it?

HO MIN LIN: I’ve told my parents this morning that I’m going out of the country with you and there’s some problems…

TAN JI NAN: Problems?

Ho Min Lin didn’t know how to tell Tan Ji Nan. He might be upset if he learns that her parents will be joining them on this trip but there’s no other way to tell him.

HO MIN LIN: My parents wanted to join us on this trip….

Tan Ji Nan smiled when he read it. It was really the plan. For Ho Min Lin’s parents to tag along with them so Ho Min Lin would not have any idea that he will be proposing to her.

TAN JI NAN: Are you upset?

HO MIN LIN: I am thinking about you. It must be inconvenient for you if my parents are with us during this this. I know you wanted to have a trip with me alone…

TAN JI NAN: Well, if your parents wanted to unwind, then let them tag along with us.

HO MIN LIN: You okay with that arrangement?

TAN JI NAN: Yeah, don’t worry about it!

Ho Min Lin sighed. Where on earth does parent will tag along to their daughter’s supposed to be out of the country trip together. She was really upset. But since her boyfriend was just fine with it, she started to accept that they will not have an alone time at the beach. Her face blushed when she thought about it.

HO MIN LIN: Okay, I’ll book for their flights and accomodation then.

TAN JI NAN: Okay, go ahead.

She immediately browsed for the same flight and booked a tickets for her parents. She booked them a separate room too at Pulongsea.

….

Tan Ja Nin sent a message to Lu Jiaosheng and asked for his personal details because she would need it upon booking their flights.

LU JIAOSHENG: I will just share a room with Lee Jin Ho.

TAN JA NIN: I’ll ask Lee Jin Ho first. Because the last I’ve heard, he doesn’t want to share a room with you anymore after what had happened in Hong Kong

Lu Jiaosheng mouth twitched when he read Tan Ja Nin’s reply. He gritted his teeth when he replied

LU JIAOSHENG: I’m a changed man now. Also it will be economical if we will just share a room, unless he will be tagging along his NEW girlfriend.

Tan Ja Nin face blushed. Before she could reply, another message was sent by Lu Jiaosheng.

LU JIAOSHENG: Ask him first, if he will be bringing his new girlfriend.

TAN JA NIN: Why don’t you ask him?

LU JIAOSHENG: Aren’t you the one who’s organizing this, then you should ask him.

Tan Ja Nin frowned. This guy was really something. And this guy happened to be her boyfriend’s bestfriend.

TAN JA NIN: I won’t ask him. I’ll just book one room for you and Lee Jin Ho.

LU JIAOSHENG: Good. You’ll save some of your brother’s fortune by doing that.

Tan Ja Nin could not agree more because all the expenses for this trip was sponsored by Tan Ji Nan. It will be more economical if Lee Jin Ho and Lu Jiaosheng will be sharing a room. She never thought that Lu Jiaosheng wasn’t such a spendthrift kind of guy.

She was quite impressed to know this side of him.
