In the middle of their discussion, a maid interrupted their talk and invited them to have dinner as per Mrs. Rao's order.
as a henpecked husband, the moment his wife called Mr. Rao immediately ignored all the important talks and made his way downstairs followed by Mu Jun who was left speechless.
The moment the two of them made their way to the dining hall, they saw a very warm scene.
By now everyone were already present. A grinning grandpa Mu sat next to a grumpy grandpa Rao. Whenever the two elders were together, they always seemed to have the same expression? The two elders were always fighting like kids whenever they met.
on the other hand Mr. Mu was discussing business matters with Evan who had returned home not long ago. Sia was helping out Mrs. Rao to arrange the dishes. Two families gathered together looked extremely harmonious and pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it. Especially to Mr. Rao and Mu Jun who just went through an emotional rollercoaster.
Noticing their arrival, Mrs. Rao turned to them with a smile and said "Oh, you are right on time. Come on, take a seat. Don't make the rest wait for you"
Before Mr. Rao could take action, Mu Jun moved faster than him and helped Mrs. Rao pull the seat.
"Mom, let me help you pull the seat"
Mu Jun's sweet gesture melted Mrs. Rao's Rao's heart again. "Oh, how sweet of you child. Come sit next to me"
"Sure Mom" Mu Jun answered and sat next to Mrs. Rao sit down after helping Sia pull her seat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPoor Mr. Rao was completely ignored. Glaring at his annoying son in law, Mr. Rao harrumphed and walked to his seat.
Initially Mr. Rao thought he could have a peaceful dinner, but because of a certain someone who kept on going Mom! Mom! he couldn't take it anymore. Slamming the spoon on the table, he glared at Mu Jun and yelled "Damn brat, are you cursing me to break up with my wife?"
Raising his eyebrows, Mu Jun asked calmly "I don't remember doing such thing"
"You don't? Then what are you doing now by calling my wife as Mom?" Mr. Rao asked
Confused, Mu Jun "How does calling my mother-in-law as 'Mom' harm your marriage?"
"Isn't it? You call her Mom and call me uncle, isn't that differentiating us which is also equal to diving us?"
"Then how about I call you dad?" Mu Jun proposed
"No way!!" Mr. Rao denied firmly
"Then I guess we have no other choice" Mu Jun said indifferently
"How do we not have any other way? Why don't you call just call my wife as aunt or Mrs. Rao?"
"I can't do that, that would hurt Mothers heart"
"Then you calling my wife as Mom hurts my heart too" Mr. Rao complained
"That's fine, I believe uncle heart is strong and this bit of pain is nothing. But Mom is different, she is a woman and we can't hurt a woman's heart"
Hearing that Mrs. Rao once again melted down
Seeing the glow in his wife's eyes, Mr. Rao was infuriated further. Slapping the table, he yelled "Damn brat, are you rebelling? We haven't accepted you yet so you have no right to address us in such a intimate way"
Shaking his head, Mu Jun denied calmly "That's not true. Firstly Sia and I are already engaged and we could be considered as half married couple. Secondly Mom had long accepted our relationship and has permitted me to address her as such and thirdly.... probably because uncle is old and suffering from memory loss, but uncle agreed to the marriage just a while back so as Sia's fiance, I have all the rights to address mother as Mom"
Stupified, Mr. Rao for the first time in his entire life was unable to retort. "You-You...this brat..."
Jun's favourite dish' that was about to get emptied and cried to himself 'That's my 09:58
favourite dish toooo!!'
Unwilling to watch her husband make a fool of himself, Mrs. Rao pinched Mr. Rao's thigh under the table and warned with a smile "Now enough of your tantrum, let's continue to eat okay?"
warned by his wife, Mr. Rao instantly became obedient.
Ignoring her grumpy husband, Mrs. Rao turned to Mu Jun with a smile and said kindly "Jun, don't be shy. Eat as much as you want. Here, I heard from Sia that this is your favourite dish, So mom specially prepared these for you. Here, let me serve these for you...try it and say how's it?"
"Very delicious Mom, thank you for your hard work" Mu Jun smiled
"Oh, that's nothing child, as long as you like it. Here have some more, eat this to your hearts content, don't be shy"

"If you crave to eat these again, just let me know? I'll prepare them for you okay?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you mom"
"No trouble! No trouble!"
Mr. Rao who was sulking at the side glared at Mu Jun and then turned to look at 'Mu Jun's favourite dish' that was about to get emptied and cried to himself 'That's my favourite dish toooo!!'
'Sure enough, this brat is not a good thing. I shouldn't have agreed to this marriage...hmph!'
There was sound of laughter in the dinning hall and the two family had a very pleasant dinner.
After dinner, the two families discussed further about the engagement before deciding to part ways.
Though reluctant, Mu Jun had to part his way from his girl-No! from his fiance. Since Sia got engaged to him, they became much closer and were already unwilling to stay apart. But under Mr. Rao's dark and threatening gaze, they had no choice but ways.
Watching the few vehicles belonging to the Mu's drive off, Sia and Mr. Rao heaved a huge sigh of relief.
One sighed from tiredness while the other sighed in relief. Now that the dog beating bastard who was after his daughter left, Mr. Rao could finally let down his guard and relax with ease. But recalling his behaviour in the dinning hall, he gritted his teeth and thought to himself
'bastard, this time I let you off for the sake of my wife but next time I wouldnt goo easy on you'
