My Scheming Parents

"Mother I have work tomorrow can't we talk about this a little later?" Syaoran whined.

"No..no Syaoran we must talk about this with your father! We have to plan the wedding. We'll all start building your new mansion. Buy the clothes for the wedding, the gown and the cake…"

Syaoran's eyes widened "Woah! Calm down mother I said we weren't sure we'd get married just yet!" Yelan gave him a critical look and he shut up "Nonsense Xiao-Lang! How far is she with her pregnancy?"

Syaoran cringed he couldn't possibly tell her that she was about to give birth "Hermm she's almost due…about 8 months!" She gave him another look "Xiao-Lang she can't be very far through her pregnancy…You would've talked to me about it earlier if she was…no?"

"She's almost due…about 8 months if I remember correctly." Yelan looked at him disbelievingly shocked by the news. "Are you sure you weren't planning to abandon this girl?"

"I already told you that I wasn't ma. Stop worrying about that!" Yelan's eyes twinkled. Syaoran gulping knowing that he was in big trouble. "I…" As if on cue, the bell rang. Syaoran jumped up from his seat to answer at the door. "No you don't young man! Wei will get it for us!"

The brown haired man sighed defeated and slowly walked back into the living room. "Syaoran…I'm really starting to doubt what you said about your relationship with his girl…" She was about to continue but was interrupted "Where's that little rascal!" A man in his late 50's stepped into the room.

"Father…" The middle-aged him considered him for a moment and turned to gaze at his wife. He relaxed when he saw her nod "What are you trying to pull Xiao-Lang! I know your mother and I always pushed you to make us an heir but it didn't mean that you had to go off and fondle with the first women you see!"

The middle aged man grinned. His ocher eyes twinkled mischievously. "It's not funny Ryun. Your son's been hiding this from us for-"

"-8 months I know!" He finished. She looked at him and smiled. "I take you're not really shocked by the news…" He laughed it off "Of course not, I understand him. I'd do the same if my mother had your character."

Her smile widened. Yelan looked like a completely different women in the presence of her husband "Oh don't flatter me dear. I try my best." She answered sarcastically "Oh you know I didn't mean it honey!"

"Erm…Can we get back to me here?" Syaoran coughed nervously. "Oh..right! Where were we?"

"She's almost due and mother wants me to propose to her…" He raised an eyebrow and looked at Yelan. "He really plans on staying with her." Syaoran was at loss of words "What did you think Ryun that that Kinomoto girl lied to keep Himura away from her baby?" Syaoran tensed, she was on to him.

"Well it did cross my mind…"

"I thought about it too but I rejected that option after discussing with him." They both turned to look at him. He squirmed realizing that he was once more the center of attention.

"When are they getting married?" Syaoran almost felt like screaming. Was it all they ever thought about?

"…"

"We can't just get married like this father…We weren't planning to anyways." Ryun's expression changed. He frowned but stayed silent.

"Dad I don't want to make that mistake…I don't want to risk losing this bond we have…Marriage is a big step and I don't think we're ready for this kind of commitment." Ryun's expression softened.

"Don't worry about it! A baby is the best way to solidify a relationship. Trust us you're the perfect example." He said patting him on the back.

"Father it won't work for us we're not like you two…We're not so close."

"Xiao-Lang…I don't know what to say to convince you. I can't force it upon you but I'll ask you to at least give it some thought…" He nodded.

"I wonder why you're hesitating. I mean she's gorgeous! You have a lot of taste. You're really my son!" He laughed wholeheartedly.

"Ryun don't encourage him!" Yelan smiled. Mr. Li's smiled was really contagious. "You both met her already! When are you going to introduce us…or are you ashamed of me?"

"Of course not mother! We already talked about this. I'll let her know. I'm sure she'll be pleased to meet you."

"I wonder why you hid it from us Xiao-Lang. That baby is great news? Wait…wait…Is it a boy or a girl?" He asked eagerly.

"I don't know…Sakura wants it to be a surprise." He realized that he didn't even know the gender of the baby. Some father he'd make…!

"Oh really? I guess we'll have to wait a little longer then!" He said visibly disappointed. "One more thing Xiao-Lang I want you to ask her to stop working." Syaoran paled "Father you can't fire her…"

"Woah…Woah calm down son don't jump to conclusions I was just asking you to manage her. We can't have her walking around and stressing at work at this stage of the pregnancy."

"She won't have it father. You heard me talk to her about it…"

"Well back then I didn't know she was pregnant with your child. You'll just have to force her then. You're a man after all!" Yelan looked at him disapprovingly.

"Ryun…"

"Sorry honey…I guess I'm not one to talk ha ha! I'm a perfect gentleman!" Syaoran nodded inattentively. He was starting to get real tired.

"Oops looks like we're boring you…You should get to bed before you really fall asleep." Syaoran nodded.

"I take it you're staying for the night?" He stated after looking at the time "Should I ask Wei to prepare the guest room for you?"

"No don't bother him, we'll manage. We'll just chat a little more before going to bed. Goodnight son."

"G'night" They watched him walk to his bedroom.

"Do you want something to drink?" Ryun asked.

"I wouldn't say no…What are you proposing me?"

"Glenfidish, Amarula or would you rather drink some of that fine wine. It's a 1906! That's almost a collector's bottle! I'd feel bad drinking something so expensive out of the blue; maybe we should ask him first? Oh what is that bottle of Jack Daniels doing in his bar? I'll throw it away for him; drinking booze isn't good for him."

"Ryun…I think you were too easy on him. I don't think he really realizes what's awaiting him and how this baby will completely change his life…" He sighed.

"Give him some slack Yelan. I think the boy has enough common sense to understand that he can't let this child grow without a father or a mother." He picked up the glass and walked back into the living room.

"You know I don't believe your nonsense. Any girl in her right mind would accept a marriage proposal made by our son. He's a Li after all." Ryun raised a brow.

"May I remind you how you hesitated before finally deciding to accept my offer?" Yelan reddened.

"That was different Ryun…I'm not your average woman."

"Oh! I give it to you. You're special alright! But I trust Syaoran with his choice. The Li men know how to choose there women."

"Don't push your luck Ryun… I don't need to hear your macho speech"

"Don't you think this is the perfect opportunity to tie him down?" He smiled playfully.

"Oh it's the first time I've ever seen Syaoran with a woman. I was starting to despair!"

"We can't have him ruining this opportunity now can we?" The middle aged man asked.

"But tell me first Ryun, how's that girl? Is she really as Xiao-Lang's says she is?"

"She's all that and more Yelan. A real pearl, she even has her own fan club at work. I don't think she's a gold-digger if that's what's you mean…" Yelan nodded relieved.

"Do you think he'll decide to propose?" Ryun asked taking a sip of his drink.

"I won't let him off the hook Ryun. He'll marry that girl whether he likes the idea or not. I'm sure he'll thank us when it's all over."

"Don't be so aggressive dear! You know him; if he finds out that we're trying to set him up, he'll try to go against us! He's almost as stubborn as you."

"What should we do then, standby and watch?"

"We'll also add our little touch to speed up the process…"

"What do you have in mind?" She asked obviously interested.

"Well I could give him the company a little earlier…" He said thoughtfully.

"Ryun you can't be serious. He's not ready for this kind of responsibility yet!"

"Yelan…He won't take us seriously unless we do something that drastic. I was starting to think about retiring anyways and I'm sure Syaoran will manage just fine with a little help." Yelan still looked unconvinced but she didn't voice out her thoughts.

"I don't understand your plan Ryun…Where's the catch?"

"The only condition I'll put is that he gets married before she delivers."

"What makes you think that he'll go along with this? I mean its Xiao-Lang we're talking about here…"

"He'll go along with this trust me…" She exhaled noisily.

"I'm not convinced dear but I'll let you try."

"When this is all settled how about you and I go on a looooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnng trip. It's been a while hasn't it?" He pulled out a pair of plane tickets. His eyes shined cheerfully.

"Oh dear you really planed it all!" She got up and walked up to him. He opened up his arms and embraced her. They waltzed, moving harmoniously to some imaginary melody.

"Do you think they'll be happy like we have been?" Yelan asked dreamily.

"Of course they will be and we still are…"

"Right…" They embraced tenderly not noticing Wei smiling down at them.
