"I still think it's Li's choice to decide." Came a soft, worn voice. Even though it was old, the sentence came out strong.

The family was having a discussion. It was near 3am in the morning, but they felt that this should be solved before it gets worse and out of their hands.

"After all, its his wedding. Shouldn't he decide who to marry?" the distinct voice came again.

"You only think that, because you're his mother." Another elderly voice spoke.

"Yes, and you have to think about the family traditions."

"You don't want your son to be the one to ruin it would you?"

The odds seem to be against Li's mother. But she still believes that Li can choose his own paths and follow them. She secretly knows that there is someone else in his life that he doesn't speak about. The other members of the family thinks different, especially Meilin's parents, her mom to be exact.

The whole family wanted Li to continue the family tradition that was done for many generations. They wanted to keep the family pure.

Before the conversation was even done, Meilin came into the room.

"Please!!! Both Li and I are all grown up. Let us make our own decisions. And Auntie.. why are you so sure that Li loves someone else? I'm sure you are mistaken, because he loves me only."

"Plus, I've took the liberty to set everything up already" Meilin said with a smirk. Then she

turned and began her "beautification process" for the wedding.
