Chapter 31 Go Get A Boyfriend Now
Chapter 31 Go Get A Boyfriend Now
Raven left Jordan in her room still sleeping.
It was past 7:00 PM already when she heard her father's laughter. He was dropping funny jokes to Nanny Rong in the living room.
"How can Santa deliver presents during a thunderstorm?" Senior Choi asked.
Nanny Rong grinned and answered, "That was too easy Old Master, Santa's sleigh is flown by RAINdeer!"
"How about this one, I'm sure you don't know this one." Senior Choi asked now grinning.
"Hmm, what do you get when you combine a Christmas tree with an iPad?" Senior Choi was suppressing his laughter. He was just so sure that Nanny Rong won't be able to get this one.
Nanny Rong complained, "Old Master let's stop already my stomach is aching now and let us eat first!"
Senior Choi laughed, "No dinner if you won't give me the right answer."
Raven smiled seeing her father this enthusiastic.
Then she creased her forehead. 'Father seemed to be doing well and there's nothing to worry about him.' She thought while she contently looked at her father' who had the same happy-go-lucky aura of his.
So she wondered what was bothering Jordan that made him looked so depress like that.
When she saw Nanny Rong was having a hard time to answer her father, Raven interrupted at their bantering and said, "That one was so easy, you will get a pineAPPLE!"
"My Big Raven is here. Come here. Is that really you? How come you've grown so much in that span of months? Prettier than before," Senior Choi said continuously. Then he opened his arms wide to catch her embrace.
"Stop it already father. You are overdoing it!" She said as she ran towards him and hugged him.
"I missed you!" Raven said then she kissed her father on his cheek.
I missed you more my big Raven." Senior Choi replied and hugged Raven tight.
"Oh thank goodness you are back. I will have the dinner ready," Nanny Rong interrupted.
Senior Choi just nodded at Nanny Rong in agreement then held Raven's hand. He led her to sit on the couch. They've talked mostly about her school experiences. She also mentioned her part time job in one of the biggest film studio.
"Is Jordan doing okay with the company?" Raven suddenly asked changing the topic.
Senior Choi frowned and answered, "Yeah he was actually doing quite well. You know how that brat loves to kill himself at work. Why? Is there something wrong?"
Raven just shrugged her shoulders and smiled before she replied, "Oh nothing. I just ask, I'm just getting curious on how is he right now. You know we don't talk that much."
Nanny Rong already called them for dinner.
"Ask Jordan where he is now?" Senior Choi instructed to Nanny Rong.
Then he added looking at Raven, "That brat always comes home early these days and never miss a dinner with us. How come he was late now?"
Raven suddenly blushed and she stopped Nanny Rong, "He arrived already and sleeping now. He was probably tired at work"
She did not mention that Jordan was sleeping in her room.
After dinner, she played chess with her father at the library room. It's been a while since they played like this.
"Checkmate!" Raven declared.
Senior Choi frowned and pouted his lips, "How come I can no longer defeat you on this."
"Well, I'm probably smarter since I am maturing already," Raven jested.
"Yeah, you can be married by now don't you think?" Senior Choi's eyes sparkled while he stared at Raven.
She laughed seeing how his father look right now, "Haha, Why? Do you want me to get married already? Don't you think I need a boyfriend first?"
"Yes, go get a boyfriend now. That's okay," Senior Choi answered with a smile.
Then, Raven's face became serious, "But I don't want to yet. You know how I loved to finish studies first and achieved something on my own so later on you can be proud of me. I hate being compared to a leech just sucking out bloods from its prey."
Raven sighed and added, "I don't want to be seen as someone who was good for nothing. Or someone who always hide under the protection of Choi family."
Then Raven winked at Senior Choi, "Don't worry, I will make sure to accomplish all in a shorter time then you will definitely see me with a boyfriend."
She followed the words with a laugh. Senior Choi smiled at her and sighed deeply. "It seems that my dream was too far to reach.' He thought to himself.
Jordan from the outside heard their conversation.
'I must plan and act faster.' He thought to himself before he walked back to Raven's room.
