"Someone special? Who?" Zhu Qian asked.

"I am not going to tell you, Mom. It's a surprise." Lin Mochen smiled cheekily.

"Please, what's there to be surprised with. I know who could be coming to our home." Zhu Qian smiled confidently.

"Really?"

"Of course." Zhu Qian smiled. "Only she can come to our home and make you so excited about it."

"You guessed it. That's not fair, Mom." Lin Mochen pouted. He was a little upset that his mother has guessed the answer. At first, he wanted her to be surprised by seeing that person but looks like it won't happen now.

"It's my future daughter-in-law right?" Zhu Qian asked excitedly.

"Yeah, your future daughter-in-law is coming.... wait, what! What?"

"What future daughter-in-law? Whose future daughter-in-law? There is no future daughter-in-law." Lin Mochen explained quickly.

"Aww... Haoming, look at that. Your son is so shy." Zhu Qian teased as she winked at her husband.

"Mochen, don't worry. We will treat our future daughter-in-law very nicely. You don't have to be so shy in front of us. We are your parents and we can understand you." Lin Haoming laughed loudly joining his wife in teasing their son.

Lin Mochen: "..."

"But, but - "

Before Lin Mochen could say anything, he was interrupted by Zhu Qian.

"Mochen, tell me. What is our future daughter-in-law's name? When did you fall in love? How did it happen? What is she like? What does she like to eat?" Zhu Qian asked. "After all, she is coming to our house for the first time so we have to look after everything and create a very good impression on her."

"Mom, wait...."

"Yes, Qianer you are right. This is the first time she is coming here. We cannot disappoint her. " Lin Haoming said seriously.

Lin Mochen: "....."

Holding his head, Lin Mochen looked at his parents who were over-excited to see their ghost daughter-in-law. He took a deep breath and he said, "Mom, Dad. There is no daughter-in-law. I am single and not ready to mingle."

"Don't be so shy, Mochen. It's okay. One day you are going to get married and our daughter-in-law is come to meet us. You have to face this situation at some point in your life. Don't worry about anything. We will take care of it all." Zhu Qian consoled her son.

"Mom, that's what I am trying to tell you. There is no daughter-in-law." Lin Mochen said firmly.

"Oh, what! There is no daughter-in-law. Then if my future daughter-in-law is not coming then who is?" Zhu Qian asked.

"It's, it's Xiaolu." Lin Mochen answered. "Xiaolu is coming to our home today."

Zhu Qian: "..."

Lin Haoming: "..."

It was complete silence in the hall for at least two minutes before the silence erupted.

"Oh God! Xiaolu is coming to our house for the first time. Look at everything. It is so untidy and messy. I have to do so many things. I have to tell the cook to make all of her favorite food. And then I have to get ready." Zhu Qian said as she got up from her place.

"Mom, take a deep breath first." Lin Mochen suggested as he watched his mother panicking.

Zhu Qian paused and she took a deep breath. Just by hearing, the news that Xiaolu is coming to her house made her so excited. This would be her first time coming to their home and that's why she wanted everything to be perfect.

"You...." Zhu Qian glared at her son. "Why didn't you tell me before that Xiaolu is coming to our house? When is she going to come?" she asked.

"She will be here soon." Lin Mochen answered.

"Oh no! I have so much to do." Zhu Qian panicked and she rushed back towards her room. Lin Mochen chuckled as he watched his mother go away. His mother looked so excited by the news of Li Xiaolu's arrival, he wondered what her reaction would be on knowing that Li Xiaolu is her daughter.

Lin Mochen couldn't wait for that day to arrive when his family would be together with his sister like he always imagined in his dreams.

"What going on with you?" Lin Haoming asked he looked at his son suspiciously.

Lin Mochen snapped out of his dreams and he looked at his father. Upon seeing that his father was looking at him very seriously Lin Mochen controlled his emotions and put on a poker face. "Nothing... " he answered. "I am just happy that Xiaolu is coming to our house, Dad."

"Really? But why do I feel like that you are happy for some other reason? What are you hiding from me Mochen?" Lin Haoming questioned. He was sure that his son was hiding something from him.

Shit!

Lin Mochen cursed internally. No matter how great of an actor he would become, Lin Mochen knew that he could never hide something from his father. He wanted to tell his father about Li Xiaolu's identity but he knew that it was not the time yet.

So despite knowing that his father was suspicious about him, Lin Mochen still put on a calm face. He said, "It's nothing Dad. If there is something then I'll definitely tell you about it."

As soon as he finished his words, Lin Mochen got up and quickly walked toward his room. Seeing him like that, Lin Haoming narrowed his eyes.

His son was hiding something from him. He was sure of that.
