You Are My Colour Palette - Chapter 167 Mother In Law

Butler Chai was already at the front door as he watches a Black Maybach drives in and stops in front of him. With a gentle smile to greet his master and mistress, he opens the door for them. Lee Jun Ting steps out first and reaches out his hand to help his fiancee out, she musters out a warm smile towards Butler Chai but she lowered her head to not let him notice her slightly swollen lips.

Lee Jun Ting didn’t miss her tiny gesture, lips form a thin line, trying to hold back his laughter while earning a glare from her. She waited till Butler Chai walks in front of her before she lifts her head up, her eyebrow raised, scanning her surroundings as she walks in the mansion with her hand intertwined with Lee Jun Ting.

Her other hand tucks his sleeves ” What is the occasion today?”

Noticing there were extra maids and guards around, Lee Jun Ting noticed it as well. Some of the extra people were recognizable as he had seen them at the main house before, looking at his butler’s back ” Is my mother here? or is it my father? ”

Butler Chai turns around and smiles, nodding to Lee Jun Ting’s question ” Madam Lee has come to visit master and mistress. ”

Lee Jun Ting frowns hearing his mother’s presence in the mansion, he wanted to spend time with his woman and it was a rare opportunity. Zhou Qinyang did not take those words too well, her heart starts to beat faster ” Your mother is here? She is going to see me in these clothes.”

There were no problems with her attire but there was a bit of wrinkle here and there results from their kissing session earlier. Lee Junting draws her closer with his hand on her waist ” Don’t worry. You look beautiful as always.”

Zhou Qin Yang ignores his sweet words and pushes him away ” I am going up to change my clothes, go greet your mother.”

Before Lee Jun Ting could even reply, her feet have made a beeline up the staircase already. He could only sigh, waving his hand in one motion towards the maids on standby ” Help her if needed.”

Strolling himself into the guest room, an elegant woman sitting with her legs crossed as she sips her tea. Turning her head as soon as she heard familiar footsteps, Lee Jia Ying puts down her cup of tea to greet her only son ” You don’t seem to be pleased to see me, Ah Ting?”

“As a matter of fact, mother, I don’t.” he sits down on the couch opposite of his mother. Lee Jia Ying already knows the reason why to his sour mood, she chuckles to irritate him even more “Why? Did I disturb your wonderful time with your fiancee that you forget to introduce her to me?”

Knowing his mother’s intention, he brushes it off ” No, I can spend more time with her after we get married. This is nothing.”

” Men always say things like that but in reality, they prefer to go golfing with their friends instead of spending time with their spouse,” she replies with a bitter tone.

Lee Jun Ting massages his forehead and sighs once again ” How about spending your leisure time somewhere else instead of arriving here unannounced to disturb me? Why is it you come to annoy me whenever you bicker with father? ”

” Because if I can’t take it out on him, I can take it out on you. You look like him except younger.” she hums and takes another sip from her cup.

Just when was about to retaliate his mother’s ridiculous excuse, a gentle voice cuts in ” Madam Lee, it is nice to meet you. My name is Zhou Qin Yang.”

The tense atmosphere earlier warmed up from the sight of her, Zhou Qin Yang bow slightly to greet her future mother in law. Lee Jia Ying’s eyes glimmer seeing her, she pats the space next to her ” Come, take a seat! Oh my…. what a beauty you are!”

Without Zhou Qin Yang noticing, Lee Jia Ying smirks at his son as a sign of provocation. Zhou Qin Yang did not waste any second and went to sit next to her. She came back down with more casual wear, oversized shirt tucked into a pair of skinny jeans.

” You are more beautiful than me, Madam Lee. You look more youthful than your age.” Zhou Qin Yang smiles, taking in her warm presence.

Lee Jia Ying laughs in to respond to her praise, she holds Qin Yang’s hand and pats ” Skip the formalities, just call me mother ”

Zhou Qin Yang tense up a bit, she hasn’t called someone ‘mother’ beside her own mother. Lee Jia Ying did a bit of digging on Zhou Qin Yang so she knew about her past, her lips form a motherly smile ” Just call me that when you are ready.”
for visiting.

Qin Yang nods at her kind gesture, unlike the warm atmosphere around both women, on the other side of the room, it was like a blizzard. Lee Jun Ting glares at his mother could bore a hole in her head especially seeing the unknown meaning behind her smirk earlier.

Lee Jia Ying glances at his son then back to Zhou Qin Yang, with pitiful eyes and a sorrowful tone ” Sorry I could not bring my husband with me, he has been busy these days. It is always me alone at home, my son doesn’t even come an visit me often.”

Zhou Qin Yang took the bait, she could feel her heart clench ” I will come and visit often. You can come here too, I am alone sometimes myself”

” It is alright, traveling is hard for me. How about this, accompany me to go shopping tomorrow?” Lee Jia Ying looks at the corner of her eye, her son’s back started to emit dark aura. Zhou Qin Yang noticed it as well, she hesitates because of the promise in the car earlier.

She tries her best not to make his mood feel worse and try to satisfied Lee Jia Ying at the same time ” I have something going on for the next few days, how about next week? ”

Lee Jia Ying was taken aback a little by her request, Lee Jun Ting’s mood calmed down completely as soon as he heard the request, knowing his mother’s plan to annoy him fail, he returns a winning smile to his mother as soon as she glances at him once more.

Lee Jia Ying heaved a sigh, knowing it was time to draw a line to her teasing, she nods her head ” Sure, let’s do that. I will inform Butler Chai the schedule on the day when I plan it out.”

Feeling relieved that she satisfied both parties, she changes the topic “Do you want to stay for dinner? I will-”

Before Zhou Qin Yang finishing her sentence, the whole room’s temperature drops drastically. Lee Jia Ying laugh internally at her son’s mood swings, she shakes her head ” Not today, I still have to make sure someone’s stomach is filled back at home. Maybe next time.”
