Chapter 58



Shi Lang and Amelia walked on the sidewalks, their conversation was revolving around the future aspects. The girl was now free from the burden of marriage arrangements and thus she was confident in herself.

She did thank the boy for helping her out but the guy shrugged it off as a business deal. To be honest, Amelia herself did not know why she was talking to him for so long. Neither did the boy realize that he has walked all the way home while talking and bantering with this girl.

Shi Lang heard someone from the neighborhood greeting him and only then did he realize that he has reached home. He said to Amelia, “Would you like to come over and have something?”

Amelia shook her head and was about to say no when a surprised female voice was heard, “Lang.”

Before Amelia could react a figure walked over and hugged Shi Lang. The boy replied, “Mom.” and he hugged her gently.

Amelia thought she should go away when a deep voice sounded, “Kid, you did not tell us about bringing over a girlfriend.” the speaker was Shi John.

Shi Lang froze, Amelia froze, Luna Mancini (Shi Lang’s mom) turned to look at the situation so fast, that she might have snapped her neck. The moment Luna laid eyes on Amelia she was surprised. Then she smiled and said, “The heavens are not blind, finally they bestow my idiot son a beautiful girl.”

Shi Lang’s face turned dark and Amelia was still frozen.

Five minutes later, Amelia and Shi Lang sat on a sofa in the living room while Shi John and Luna Mancini sat in front of them, gazing at them without blinking. The boy finally could not take more and said, “This is not like what you think it is.”

Amelia nodded vigorously. She honestly wanted to use her ability and vanished earlier but Luna grabbed her hand and with an affectionate gaze she asked, “You will come over for a cup of tea, right?”

How could she cruelly say, no? So, here they were. Luna ignored her son and asked Amelia in a soft voice, “Dear, for how long have you known each other?”

Shi Lang was about to speak when he was given a death glare by his mother. The girl said, “Around four months.”

Luna asked, “Is he good to you? Does he bully you?”

Amelia shook her head and said, “No, no, he is a good guy.”

Shi John on the side shook his head, and said as his gaze landed on his son, “I used to think, you were good at all that you do. I used to take pride in you. However, a young lady calling you a good guy was something I have never thought about even in my worst nightmares. I am disappointed in you.”

Shi Lang was surprised, and he wanted to ask, ‘Hey, what, when, how?; but his thoughts were killed by his mother’s cold gaze. Amelia was surprised when he heard the tongue of his father. Only now did she realize what happened. Thinking about it she could not help but let out a peal of laughter.

Shi Lang sighed and gave up on the whole scene. He stood up and went to his room with his droopy shoulders. None of his parents made an effort to stop him, they were busy attending Amelia. It was as if she was their long-lost daughter. Closing the door of his room, he mumbled, “Such is the life of a man.”

The tea lasted for an hour before Amelia’s phone rang. Her mother had called her. Luna asked her to go inside Shi Lang’s room to talk and called the boy outside. Luna said, “If you dared to break up with this girl, I will disown you.”

Shi Lang was surprised and asked, “What love potion did she feed you? You will give up your son? What is this logic.”

Shi John said, “We see that girl as our daughter-in-law. Be nice to her young man, or I will kick your ass out of the house, and family tree.”

Shi Lang was surprised. He did not expect his parents to be so strict with him. He said, “Did you even ask her about this whole thing? Do you know her family is way too higher than ours?”

Luna said, “Well, that will not matter, I think?” she was unsure when it came to all this. She ignored such crucial topics in her excitement.

Shi Lang was about to reply when the door of his room was opened and Amelia slowly walked over to his side and said, “Aunty, my mother would like to talk to you.” as she passed her phone. The digital hologram of her mother was visible.

Luna was surprised and took the phone. Charlotte Knight spoke from the other side, “Hello, I am Charlotte Knight. Amelia’s mother.” with a kind smile on her face.

Shi John said, “It is an honor, General. I am Shi John, and this is Luna Mancini, my wife. We have seen you on the telecast network a lot of times. We did not know that Amelia was your daughter…”

Charlotte Knight said, “Yes, this is the exact reason, I would like to ask you if you would be happy to engage our children?”

Shi Lang felt that he was in a dream. Amelia was the same, she did not expect her mother to take the initiative. Luna was shocked and asked, “Madam, how can that happen? You…”

Charlotte Knight said, “You did not know her origins, and you treated her so well. That is why it is possible to have this engagement established. A lot of people treat you good when they know your status.” her voice was calm and she had a smile on her face.

Luna and Shi John exchanged a glance and the lady said, “If you consider our boy to be acceptable, we have no problem.”

Shi Lang wanted to yell that he had a problem but her father’s cold gaze made him silent. He was aware these two people will really disown him. He said, “Amelia, I am sorry, I should not have brought you here.”

The girl did not reply and Shi Lang thought she was hurt. Charlotte Knight said, “My daughter has taken a liking of Shi Lang when he helped her previously, so I have no problem either. So, from now on, Shi Lang is my son-in-law and Amelia is your Daughter-in-law.”

Luna shook her head and said, “General, Amelia is like my own daughter. I like her very much.”

Charlotte Knight said, “Sister Luna, we are a family now. Do not use my rank to address me. We will hold a banquet after their results.”

The ladies developed an understanding and Shi Lang stood there like a puppet, he did not know when has Amelia taken a liking of him, and why was this girl blushing. Like that, in a snap, Shi Lang was engaged to Amelia Knight.
