Chapter 46: His Approval

Now, I know why boys chicken out when it comes to meeting the parents of the girl they love – Father, in particular.

I have always wondered why they have to get that antsy when it comes to meeting the parents. I mean, what’s the very big deal? Meeting the parents was just a formality of your relationship. It won’t affect it that much.

But now, I feel like my heart is going to burst in any second. This is like a challenge that I need to pass or else, I will be nothing. It’s as if my life depended on this.

And it really does. Ashin is my life, and I need her father’s approval of our relationship.

I am so scared that I think I could pee on my pants right now. Regression. I hope not.

I wanted to run because my heart is beating really fast that I can’t handle it anymore but when I think of Ashin, this one and only girl that I needed to be by my side, this one and only girl that I never want to lose, I get the confidence.

I have to do this, not for me, but for Ashin and our forever.

How can I marry her if I wouldn’t pass this stage of our relationship? It’s actually a good thing that I get to meet her father now. At least if he didn’t approve me, I will still have a lot of time to try to convince him to like me for his one and only daughter.

I checked myself in the mirror for the thousandth time this evening. I have never tried to make myself even more handsome like what I am doing tonight. I mean, duh! I am Kris Wu and every lady wants a piece of me, right? No matter what I wear, no matter how I style my hair, girls will swoon for me.

But this time, it’s different. I’m trying to impress my girl’s father and it wouldn’t keep me in place.

this. I have never changed this many times ever before.

I looked at the clock. It’s almost dinner and I have to be by Ashin’s house at dinner. And here I am, trying to figure out what to wear just like a girl. Ugh! I doubt even Ashin wouldn’t be this edgy on this. I can’t believe I’m even more girly than my own girl!

This is so gay.

I sighed and picked up that three-piece suit and just wore it the way it should be worn.

“I look good no matter what I wear.” I kept on chanting to cheer myself up and to boost my self-esteem right now. And composure. I need a lot of that later.

As I put on my tie, I took a one last look on my reflection in the mirror and sighed.

“This is it, Kris Wu.”

It’s a good thing that Ashin’s house is just around the corner. I got in there on time. She’d kill me if I was late.  She even emphasized on me a while ago when we finished watching a movie that I need to be there on time – that I need to give her father a good impression.

I was so confident then. But now, I don’t know.

I parked my car at the side of the road and then rang the doorbell. I was shaking with the bouquet of flowers in my hand. It isn’t for Ashin, though. It’s for her Mom.

Lay said I should never go empty-handed, so…

“Come in, Mr. Wu.” One of their helpers opened the gate for me and let me in.

I heaved a deep sigh before steeping inside the Kim residence.

I have been in here for many times but this is the first time that I have been really nervous. Well, maybe it’s because I’m about to face the greatest battle of my life and I have to win this.

It’s not long when I’ve seen Ashin come to me with a very bright smile.

“You’re just in time.” She told me.

I smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead. Heck, I feel like my stomach is eating up my heart right now. I don’t even know how it feels but the description was right.

She chuckled and held my hand, leading me to the dining area.

My heart is
