Peng Estate
(MICHELLE LUI POV)
If someone asked me to describe what it feels like being thrown into the middle of the Peng Family…
I would say:
Imagine being adopted by forty-eight golden retrievers.
On caffeine.
With money.
That was pretty much the energy here.
One moment, I was being ushered inside by aunties.
The next, two cousins were playing with my hair.
Then Grandma Peng was feeding me almond cookies by hand because I "looked too thin."
And all the while—
Andy.
"My Chelle" Andy.
Grinning like a cat who just brought home an especially shiny mouse.
If I had not known him for months, I would have assumed he was trying to date me in front of his entire extended family.
Which… he probably was.
But I couldn't exactly tell him to stop because every time I tried to say something, another Peng relative materialized and asked:
"Sweetheart, what's your favorite food?"
"What lipstick shade is that?"
"Do you prefer gold or rose gold jewelry?"
