Tony’s mother came out to help them. “You girls should have more dry foods with you. Each journey may take up to several hours. Here, I’ve prepared them for you girls. Have a good time!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsHaIhCIfv 維尼

“Wow! Isn’t that too much?” Seeing the bag that was full of snacks. Cin Heung said, “Auntie is so generous. They’ll probably be playing so much that they forget to eat though!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtv4GhvUeM 維尼

“Auntie is concerned about Manman of course, she’s preparing for her to have a kid! Ha ha! Don’t worry! Your daughter-in-law Manman will be well taken care of! We’ll also make sure she doesn’t do anything out of line!” Sum Ting said. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxjctX5fw7 維尼

Manman glared at Sun Ting and complained, “I’m not like that alright!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Oc72nxL80 維尼

“Alright, alright, of course I’m not worried.” Tony’s mother laughed.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrWTOwP2KX 維尼

“If everyone’s ready, we’ll be heading for Boston!” Cin Heung said with excitement.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8lSya1nYi 維尼

“Auntie, we’ll be going!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcCg49lg70 維尼

“Bon voyage! Drive carefully!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcV9LheMGC 維尼

Several slender hands reached out from the car and waved as the car drove away slowly. Out of nowhere, Sum Ting suddenly said, “I’m so ashamed of myself. I still don’t know Auntie’s surname.” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmvU1ZgnVe 維尼

“Mother-in-law’s surname is Lei, and her husband’s surname is Duen. My future husband’s name is Duen Yat Fan, his second sister is Duen Yat Fei and the youngest sister Duen Yat Yin.”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8rlWknVPR 維尼

“Uncle has a really sentimental naming sense. He wants them to ’separate like the flying swallows’.” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjOycfXzyW 維尼

“Well… I heard it was because he was separated from his parents when he was a teenager, and he lived in a foreign country afterwards. This was how he got his inspiration for the names.”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYeDFEvuCJ 維尼

“Manman, you are also surnamed Lei. You and Auntie are also somewhat related to each other. No wonder she loves you so much. Maybe her name is also Lei Shun Man.”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIxBeSofHb 維尼

“Sum Ting, don’t make fun of my name, will you!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X0CXDv57b 維尼

“Alright! Alright!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5ub93JjUv 維尼

Cin Heung drove with the help from the navigation system, steering the car onto the freeway along the path. The American freeway was like a giant transportation belt; a road could be divided into seven or eight different roads which then lead to various states. The cars on the wide road were just like a small stream of ants. From an aerial view, it was as though a large group of ants were running toward the road ahead.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEV6splYAf 維尼

It had been four hours since their road trip began; they passed through a city, some mountains and forests, as well as two metal bridges. As the scenery breezed past the windows, Wing Tung and Manman were sound asleep with their heads against each other. Meanwhile, Sum Ting had her legs up and was eating the snacks Auntie had prepared.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGurSPLgLd 維尼

“You’ve been eating a lot of cookies, Sum Ting. You sure have a large appetite! If you get fat, no one will want you!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eyntzNXGY 維尼

“Fear not, fear not! Someone will appreciate me!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgcw2pkvkU 維尼

Cin Heung tugged at her lips then smiled brightly. She looked at Sum Ting from the rear-view mirror and saw her joyous expression. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaXttByFFT 維尼

Turning out of freeway 93, passing through Cambridge University, Harvard, and MIT, they soon arrived in Boston.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSdKG3A1uD 維尼

The group found a restaurant near the shore and ordered lobsters along with other seafood. Everyone praised the restaurant and the food, so much that even the owner of the restaurant came to greet and thank them.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡ037hB9vE41 維尼

The boss said, “Thank you for visiting. Are you girls satisfied with the food?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWxtH40ku9 維尼

“Yes, the lobsters were especially delicious!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuTqu31ixY 維尼

“Look at how merry you girls are. I’ll buy you girls a drink!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFHoA5jezM 維尼

He took a couple of beers and said, “Help yourselves!” Then he took out a polaroid camera and wanted to take a picture with them. The boss held up the camera and aimed at himself with the women at the back. The group of women held up their beers in the back and smiled. The boss took two pictures; one was stuck to a board that had many other pictures, while the other, he gave it to them as a souvenir. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgbvJqQWTK 維尼

After three beers, everyone’s face was red and their moods were uplifted.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyKecc9kFJ 維尼

Sum Ting said, “The boss can tell that we’re a happy bunch! Alright then! Let’s talk about who’s the happiest right now! I say it’s Manman!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm59621S6m 維尼

Cin Hueng, “You’re just stating the obvious! Of course she’ll be the happiest! She’s getting married next week!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCdCEbVzU4 維尼

Manman said happily, “I have no objections to that! After all, the bride must be the most beautiful!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf2bBKfKBz 維尼

Gou Jing said, “I think your mother-in-law wants you to have a few babies immediately after getting married! I’ll want to see how beautiful you’ll be by then!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWVgXEuCX9 維尼

“Having a baby?... Maybe later! I think Wing Tung is definitely more charming than me!”311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOiIBC04Wn

Cin Heung chimed in, “That’s right! You and my brother have created a lot of sparks! Did Turnip take advantage of you! Tell us! Tell us!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3zMeWnjmy 維尼

“Hmph! I don’t know what you’re talking about!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXkSPEgP63 維尼

“Come on! Did you guys… kiss?" Cin Heung asked excitedly. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡckaWlYuWuO 維尼

Wing Tung’s face was already blushing from the alcohol. She raised her glass and drank two more mouthfuls. Of course, the girls were afraid that she would go out of control again so they asked her not to drink any more. And of course, she didn’t pay heed to their warnings. After another two mouthfuls of beer, she was brave enough to say it out loud. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MRx7JsFMy 維尼

“Alright! Just for you girls! That night, in a silent and dark park, we… we kissed like never before, not letting each other go. He wouldn’t let me go! Nor would I let him go!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5kmhil3zq 維尼

Raising her hands to gesture two fishes kissing, she continued, “Mwah, mwah… However, after some time, I didn’t allow him to kiss me anymore. If we didn’t stop, I was afraid we would have become wolves! Awhooo! I told him to go home and calm down but he was reluctant to leave! That’s when I knew that he won’t be able to leave! He’s my man!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf7XpJeLuA 維尼

Looking at each other, the girls knew that she mustn’t drink any more. They all pretended to be happy and howled, “Woohoo!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4riV8cJbB 維尼

Clapping, they then said to Manman, “Alright! Have a rest! It’s Cin Heung’s turn now!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJm6Qmj88a 維尼

“Me? You girls should know what trauma I’ve sustained recently.” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDgQQGEYnB 維尼

“It’s been so long! Everything should be fine right?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlw3yzb4OW 維尼

Manman chimed in, “Oh! But you seem to have encountered someone right?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxV0LYdlj7 維尼

Sum Ting exclaimed, “Yo mama! Something like that happened?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8GPStaMwi 維尼

“It’s none of my mom’s business! It’s Cin Heung! She met a man during the flight here… a barista I think! He looks handsome but I think he’s a playboy!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWlduzo00B 維尼

Cin Heung complained, “He’s not that bad! He did nothing to me and even made me a cup of coffee. I just hate that when it comes to relationships… Forget it… That’s why I’m the least fortunate.” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zn6zjjtd2 維尼

“Don’t say that men are worthless.” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtKb99ok4G 維尼

Gou Jing said, “I hope Cin Heung can find her prince.” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdY1sP5ZTD 維尼

“Ha ha, alright! Alright! It’s your turn now! Yesterday you didn’t finish your story! Come on, tell us the sequel!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaYx0Dq0TG 維尼

“Erm...I like him, just that… I don’t know if he’s…” Gou Jing muttered.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjhWsivuAQ 維尼

All the girls exclaimed, “Oh! It’s a one-sided love!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRyi1Qx5uF 維尼

Gou Jing stayed silent. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQHauuDxRu 維尼

“Did you give him any hints?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtwdVtj3JT 維尼

“We’re still friends, of course not!” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDuCJRVOyn 維尼

“So who is he? Do we know him?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDNlWQcpar 維尼

Gou Jing rubbed her cheek and nodded shyly.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡrESSsBQ3V2 維尼

“Oh! Who is it? Who is it?” They asked with excitement. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHVLqF9iW1 維尼

She then looked at Cin Heung and Wing Tung, as if it was related to them.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡUko9zKFKct 維尼

Cin Heung and Wing Tung both looked at each other suspiciously, after which Cin Heung asked, “The martial arts gym again?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡX35xGSayvr 維尼

Everyone was surprised that the martial arts gym had become a dating arena.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgVijFHmG9 維尼

Wing Tung, with her drunken finger pointed into the air and said, “I’m guessing it’s Scott! He’s humorous! A lot of girls like him!”8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Fp3uPVQD 維尼

“No,” replied Gou Jing. 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvpE0i6uPW 維尼

Feeling her heart fluttering in her chest, Sum Ting asked nervously, “You… couldn’t have fallen for… Noah right?” 8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYP4ce13Rt 維尼

Gou Jing nodded again and again bashfully.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrrEkeQ2uo 維尼

Shocked by what she heard, Sum Ting felt as though her blood had coagulated and her heart was no longer beating.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu9by3dSdL 維尼

Everyone was surprised and happy about what they heard, so only Cin Heung had noticed that Sum Ting’s reaction was abnormal.8964 copyright protection307ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIba5bvcY 維尼

At that moment, the fading sunlight shone on the coastline while the seagulls were flying leisurely over the beach. The cool breeze and setting sun created a symphony of coolness and warmth that surrounded the girls. Some of them were enjoying the moment with their eyes shut, while others were glimpsing into their hopeful futures in their heads. In the fading dusk, the dwindling lights faintly revealed their various emotions and thoughts.311Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrjadctAwp
