Dylan's POV

I went to the living room where my sister and Kuan were hanging out or should I say exhanging each other's mouths. I was seeing red.

"You completely broke my order! I specifically said no one is to enter her room except for me and Auntie Yu." I reminded her.

Annie just stared at me while she was sitting on top of Kuan's lap.

"What? No hello to your sister who just came back from a long vacation?" She taunted, smiling at me.

"Do you think I'm kidding Annie? You weren't suppose to meet her yet!" I said in anger.

"Oh please! Get your head out of your ass Dy. I know she's already your fiancée. Of course I would love to meet her first. I don't fvcking need your permission for that." She said smugly.

I glared at Kuan.

"You really can't handle your tongue can't you? You're a goddamn gossip monger for a guy." I told Kuan.

He just raised both of his hands.

"Hey man she forced it out on me. She knew something was going on when you decided to keep Yue here. It's not my fault you're an undecided assh0le, my friend." He said looking so innocent.

"No one seems to be taking my command around here. There are times I'm not your friend nor your brother. At least give me the decency of respect. She is to be introduced to mom and dad first before you. Haven't you thought of that?!" I said to the both of them.

"I'm sorry if that offended you but I'm not sorry I got to meet my future sister-in-law. You may be the next Don, Dy. But you're still my brother, I don't care what you're ranking in our clan is." She mused.

I was livid at what she said.

"Don't you-" Whatever I was saying was muffled out by Annie's sudden embrace.

"Yeah yeah. I missed you too Dy. Now come on, let's take Yue to mom and dad." She muttered.

I wasn't a man easily silenced by a threat. But dammit, personal contact reduces me to a mute. I just don't know how to respond to such intimacy.

Yue's POV

I had just freshen up and was trying to calm myself down. Dylan never specified what time we were going to meet his parents so my nerves were fried.

Suddenly the door once again opened, revealing an irritated Dylan and an overly excited Annie who has her arm entangled with his. She was smiling broadly, a contrast to her brother's temperament.

"Yue, it's time to introduce you to our parents." Annie said.

"We need to go." Dylan added, checking out my appearance. I was wearing a yellow sundress that stopped midthigh.

I raised my eyebrows at him in question but he simply shrugged his shoulders. He removed his arms from Annie and walked ahead of us.

I soon followed and went beside Annie instead. Okay, so Dylan is on the aggravated level today. His mood shifts from indifference to extreme anger. What a peculiar guy.

"Forgive him. I think he has his period today." Annie piped up winking at me.

"I won't hesitate to strangle you Ann. You better shut your fvcking mouth." Dylan warned, still walking ahead.

She just giggled and grabbed my hand. I kinda envy their dynamic. It was clear that they were close despite the coldness that Dylan shows around her.

Because even if she taunted him, she was the only female I saw who was allowed to touch him. I never saw anyone who could go near him and tolerate his intensity. Well except for me, but we are under an abnormal circumstance. Heck, everything that happened ever since I met him was an abnornality.

We drove in Dylan's Lamborghini in a fancy restaurant. Judging by the interiors of it, it was such a high class restaurant that required a reservation a few months prior but we were able to enter without a fuss. It was called Little Prince.

The staffs immediately addressed the two the moment they entered.

"Sir Dylan, Miss Annie it's an honor to serve you today. The vip room is all ready, your parents are waiting." The manager said.

Dylan just nodded and followed the manager towards the room. Annie on the other hand thanked him.

I was out of my element here. Everyone was also staring at me, wondering what I was doing, hanging around the Wang siblings. I felt like a lab rat being examined inside and out.

When we arrived in front of a double door, a butler opened it, revealing a spacious private dining room.

Inside were a wonderful couple lined by bodyguards standing behind them. And judging by the powerful appearance they wore, the two was the Don and the Don's wife.

And it looks like I ended up in a hollywood movie. Because Dylan and Annie's parents looked like superstars.

Great way to make me feel more out of place. Their children look like models too. I sighed.

They turned to us as we entered.

"Ahh my lovely son and daughter. Come here Dy and Ann let me give you a hug." Their mom extended her arm sweetly.

The two immediately followed. I didn't know what to do so I stayed behind.

"Fancy seeing you two together. Dylan called me this morning saying he had something important to announce." The Don said, smiling teasingly at them.

Annie placed a kiss on him while Dylan gave him a hug as well.

"And who might be this charming lady that you brought with you two?" Their mom asked.

I gulped as four pairs of eyes from the Wang family turned to me.

The men contained restrained glint, while the women had hopeful expectation on their faces.

Dylan broke the staring game when he walked towards me, securing my waist with his arm.

"Mom, Dad, meet Shen Yue. My fiancée." He said looking back to me.

"Yue these are my parents. The don, Daniel Wang and my mom, Li Hui Wang." He added.

I stared back briefly to check his expression. Once again calculating with a hint of the same wonder I saw before.

I cleared my throat and bravely turned to his parents.

"Good afternoon Mr. And Mrs. Wang. It was a pleasure to finally meet you." I greeted forcing myself to smile.

The Don scrutinized me at first, Mrs. Wang on the other hand didn't hesitate to rush over and greet me.

"My, my, my. It's nice to hear Dylan finally settling with a woman. Hi Yue. I'm Li Hui but you can call me mom from now on." She gushed as she embraced me.

I didn't know how to react since it's been awhile since I've been hugged by an older woman. I usually get hugs from Jiaqi. But I refused to receive any hugs from Auntie Wei, I didn't want to forget my mother's embrace.

I froze and I felt Dylan analyzing my actions. I immediately compose myself to try and return her hug albeit awkwardly.

"Mom, don't pressure her too much. She just met you, that would be really uncomfortable." Dylan commented, his voice soft. I never heard him speak this way before too. It was always tinged with anger or irritation.

"Oh I'm sorry dear. You can call me Auntie Li. Come, let's go and take a sit." She pulled me towards the table.

The Don finally spoke up once Dylan and I were settled in front of them.

"Shen Yue, tell me are you connected to Shen Ming perhaps?"

I flinched when I heard his name. Dylan on the other hand grabbed my hand under the table. The first gesture of comfort he had given me ever since we met. Is he really capable of such thing? I was about to pull it from his grasp when he entangled his fingers with mine.

"Dad, she may be the granddaughter of that bastard but I assure you, she is no longer connected to him aside from her surname." He spoke with confidence. Looking his father squarely in the eyes.

He then stared back at our intertwined hands. Seeming to marvel the feel of it. His hands were rough but it has that underlying strength from his grip. I was suprise that I wasn't really abhorred by it. In fact, I felt secured.

I looked up to see his parents staring at the both of us.

"Where did you two meet?" Auntie Li asked.

Seeing he was about to speak for us again, I decided to go first.

"I was his prisoner but he was too coward to pull a trigger on me." I said back smilingly.

I felt his hand tighten on mine, he then glared at me.

"What?! DYLAN WANG! I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO NEVER HURT A WOMAN?!" Auntie Li said.

"Here it comes..." Annie muttered. As the Don tried to pacify Auntie.

"I didn't. Clearly she told you, I didn't pull the trigger. I was simply messing around with her. She looked so cute." Dylan said that while looking down.

Gosh can't he act at all? I kicked him under the table. He simply shrugged his shoulders.

"That's it. Get me my whip right now!" Auntie threatened.

"Darling, you're son is a grown man now. He knows what he is doing. Am I right Dylan? Or should I doubt any of this right now? Because it seems to me that there's an underlying reason for your sudden decision to marry. You have not been interested in a woman ever since then." His father said, daring him to oppose him.

Dylan stared back as intensely.

"I assure you, there aren't any reason at all. Yue is quite a character and I can't help but be interested in her." He mused.

"Then why was she your prisoner?" Auntie Li asked.

Uh-oh. It seemed I have complicated the matter at hand.

"He thought I was spying on them. Jiaqi is my best friend and when I heard that she was going to marry Xize I wanted to find out about him. It was a complete misunderstanding." I voiced out.

A complete misunderstanding that your son refuses to let go.

I didn't say that part any longer. They don't need to hear that.

Dylan started playing with my hand, I looked at him in question but he was having so much fun. Weirdo.

"Right. But then we can't argue the fact that you're still a descendant of Ming, even though you say you're no longer connected. I don't know if you're aware but he is a major investor of White Snake who is coincidentally our rival." The Don muttered, analyzing my reaction.

Damn Dylan Wang. He didn't even warn me about this.

I squared my shoulders ready to counter a man that a lot of people feared. It was clear why he was the Don. He exudes dominance and power even with just a simple look. But I wasn't going to back down.

I felt Dylan's hand freeze as well. Probably waiting for my response just as much as they were.

One thing I know about dealing with this people is that you tell them the cold hard truth without a second thought. Don't ever hesitate or they will just call it a bluff.

"Ming and Steven were the cause of my mother's death. Whatever blood relations I have with them, I buried together with my mother's grave." I said back bitterly.

I heard a gasp from Auntie and Annie.

Dylan ran his thumb on the back of my hand soothingly.

"I forgot to tell you, she's the daughter of Steven Cheun as well. Born out of wedlock, was supposed to be aborted as well, if it weren't for her mother who ranaway." Dylan surmised.

There was an aching silence that fell on the room.

"You're telling me you're going to marry the daughter of our rival. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FVCKING MIND?!" The Don slammed his hands on the table.

This isn't going well at all. I don't even know why I agreed to such a preposterous idea.

"Calm down darling let's hear them out first." Auntie said.

"If it makes you feel any better, the only thing I want from Steven right now is his blood. He is my enemy just as he is yours. If I ever betray your trust then I will let Dylan himself kill me." I daringly said.

I felt Dylan's stare burning through me.

"Don't speak that way Yue. I believe you." Annie piped up.

"I love her Dy. I'm glad you found a strong girl, I think she'll be able to take you on." Auntie Li added.

The Don sighed and brought his hands together.

"Well then, Yue, welcome to the Wang family and the Black Dragon clan. Make sure to always keep my son in line." He finally said, a hint of smile ghosting his lips.

I smiled back.

"I don't think he needs someone to keep him in line. He needs someone to knock his head off. You're son can be quite crazy." I stared at Dylan back to see him already observing me intensely.

"Well looks like he found his match then." The Don commented.

"Enough of this, let's eat. The food is getting cold." Auntie urged.

We then started eating, when we took a bite, auntie and I stopped.

I did because it was such a familiar taste, the same taste of food that is always being served in my room.

"You cooked this son? Aren't you busy?" Auntie asked him.

Dylan brushed his nape, looking embarassed.

"It's not a big deal mom. It's not like we meet all the time." He said.

"This restaurant would be useless if he won't make use of his cooking skills." Annie added.

Dylan was the one cooking all those foods? And he actually owns this restaurant? Well would you look at that, I found out another side of him.
