As Neil was ignored by the duo in the room,he looked down at the tightly clenched plate in his hand and wanted to throw the plate at the man"s head.By accident,of course.Not sensing that something was wrong with Neil,Mi Rae smiled at him and said with a smile,"Come here,Neil!Let me introduce you to the most handsome man in my world!This is Hou gege 1 ."
She smiled at him!She smiled at Neil the same way as she did at that Hou person and had the audacity to introduce him.He was definitely going to kill her.She then introduced him to her "ge ge","Gege this is my boyfriend to be Neil Long."
The man turned to look at Neil with narrowed eyes and extended his hand to shake.In a hard tone,he asked,"So this is the man who lacks the sense to accept the treasure that my little sister is!Are you even worth my sister?"
Neil who had been about to crush the other man"s hand heard the words and stopped in time .Little sister..So this man was her elder brother.Just then the man held Neil"s in a tighter grip as if knowing that Neil had misunderstood as well as warning him.Deciding that he had been polite enough,he turned to Mi Rae and pa.s.sed her the chocolates.
She took the plate carefully and after looking at it,giggled a bit and thanked him.He rgiggle brought a smile to Neil"s face and he asked,"Are you feeling better now!Do you feel tired or sick?I will order some congee for you."
Mi Rae just nodded at him and thanked him.In a quiet voice she asked,"You did not object to being my future boyfriend.."
Neil,who had been about to pick the room phone to order,paused for a moment and said softly,"We can talk about this later."
She smiled softly at that and knowing he was uncomfortable changed the topic."You gave me a fried egg plate."
Neil smiled and said,"Yes it is sunny side up..so that you can keep smiling."
The plate Neil had chosen had been made like a fried egg with a bright yellow yolk in the middle.The plate looked like a big fried egg!
Neil had smiled at that and then continued to order the congee and some more breakfast for his brother in law...Huh..What did he just think now??He shook his head and then excused himself to freshen up.
Mi Rae looked at her brother with s.h.i.+ning eyes,as if asking him for his good opinion on her chosen one and how he took good care of her.Zheng Hou just shook his head at his sister and said," He was also responsible for what happened yesterday so of course he should take good care of you.But no one is good enough for my little sister.Specially someone who you have to chase.He should be the one begging on his knees for your hand in marriage!"
Mi Rae was about to defend Neil but then he continued,"But I saw his rage when he thought I was a strange man so I can say he has some feelings for you.And the fact that he controlled his urge to punch me speaks well of him.So,for you,my dear sister,I will give him a chance.But if he hurts you even a little bit,then I will cut him into pieces and feed him to my dogs!"
Neil,who had just come out of the bathroom heard the last part and gulped.It seemed his plan was going to have to be dropped or he would have to become dog food...literally!He was tempted to be a coward and rush back to the bathroom.But the next thing that Mi Rae said,changed the topic and so he decided to wait..At least he had not hurt her..yet..So he was safe..maybe..
"Gege!How did you know where I was?"
Zheng Hou just rolled his eyes and said,"What day is it today squirt?Yesterday was our time for our weekly chat and you missed it.Your phone was switched off since the evening so I kept calling every hour.Only late in the night,the call was answered by a little boy named Ru..He explained the situation to me and so I took the first flight out and rushed here..to check on my little girl..I have already checked with the hospital and you will be discharged today..and with your current work situation I am taking you home."
Neil"s eyes narrowed at that.This Ru!His nephew had become too smart for his own good!Why did he have to do this to him..Sending this dog lover to hara.s.s him!He was going to have to teach his nephew a lesson!He had become like his mother..enjoying creating more problems for his uncle!
