MY ONE & ONLY OPTION ( Wangxian Rom-com)(COMPLETED)

Chapter-9

The door knob began to turn and Weiying moved quickly. He tossed the hoodie over the desk chair and threw himself back onto the bed, slipping under the duvet.

"Do not touch me with your...thing," he hissed at Lanzhan.

"Wasn't planning on it," he muttered back.

The door opened, and Madam Yu stepped into the room. His mother was carrying a tray piled with cinnamon rolls and coffee, and she was smiling widely.

"Here you go! Breakfast in bed." Madam Yu carried the tray over to the bedside table and set it down. "We know you have a long trip back to Nie Clan this afternoon, so we wanted to have breakfast ready for you."

"Thanks, Mom," Weiying said.

"Oh, Gran didn't have to go to that trouble," Lanzhan murmured.

Madam Yu waved him off. "Oh, you're family now! It's no trouble."

Jiang Fengmian appeared in the doorway. "Is there room for one more?"

Weiying sat upright. "Wow, could we not do the Brady family meeting right now?"

Jiang Fengmian came into the room anyway and rested his hand on Madam Yu's shoulder. "Your mother and I have come up with a proposition and I happen to think it's a terrific idea-"

"We want you to get married today," Madam Yu interrupted excitedly.

Weiying's jaw dropped. "What? Why? How?"

"Whoa," Lanzhan said, shocked.

Madam Yu shrugged. "Well, you're going to get married anyway, so why don't you get married here so we can all be together? And that way Granny can be a part of it, too."

"I...don't think that's really necessary," Weiying stammered out. "It's not like our wedding would be that far out anyway-"

"And my family would like to be a part of it too," Lanzhan added. "Thank you, that's a really nice offer, but-"

Granny suddenly shuffled into the room. "I'm ninety years old. It would be a dream come true to see my grandson get married."

Guilt and panic washed over Weiying. They had to convince his family to wait. They could not get married today. Weiying wasn't ready for that.

"And you will , Granny," Weiying said firmly. "Just not today."

Baoshan Sanren pursed her wizened lips. "I'm no spring chicken, Weiying. Each day I wake up is a blessing. Nothing would make me happier than to see the two of you get married-besides having a grandchild, of course."

"I want you to be there, Granny," Weiying insisted pleadingly. he looked over at Lanzhan. "But we need to think about Lanzhan's family, too. His uncle and mom would want to be there."

Baoshan Sanren let out a dejected sigh. He looked at Weiying beseechingly. "Have the two of you even set a date?"

Weiying side-eyed Lanzhan. "Um, no. Not yet."

"Exactly." Baoshan Sanren sighed again. "Nothing would make me happier than to see the two of you get married...before I'm dead."

"Granny" Weiying said exasperatedly.

"What about the Lantern Festival?" Madam Yu suggested. She looked between all of them. "It's a little over a month away. Is that enough time for your family to be able to attend, Lanzhan?"

Lanzhan glanced at Weiying, wishing he could read his mind. How far off did he want to put off the wedding? Of course Lanzhan didn't want to get married today , but it would have to happen sooner or later. And the sooner they did get married, the quicker INS would be off their backs. And the sooner they would be able to get divorced.
