Cai Song

**Cai Song** is the wife of Fei and mother Kee in the series, *Tea Leaves*. Khai Liao was the one who hooked her up with his adviser in the first place. She is also part of the Liao-Wang Clan.

## Back Story

Cai was working as a volunteer at the local library when Khai Liao first met her to hook her up with Fei. She met up with her date at the place where they worked.

One day, Khai had Cai, Fei, Hen-to, and Bik invited over for a dinner party to get them closer together. Cai feels like she is underdressed compared to Daiyu and Bik. The men walk away from the table to let the women talk. Cai speaks up about her insecurities. Daiyu and Bik reassure her that it is okay and she starts to feel better.

Cai really wanted a child and kept trying with Fei until she finally became pregnant. She ended up suffering from two miscarriages before Kee was born. When she got pregnant a third time, she became nervous. Fei had to comfort her and convince her that this child would be born healthy. He wouldn't let her give up on her dream of having a child. The clan had to watch over her during her pregnancy. Despite two miscarriage scares, Kee was born healthy.
