Seeing this side of her son, a glint of surprise flashed across Ji Qiongxin’s slanted eyes, and then her imposing aura dissipated and became more gentle. Her eyes also glowed softly. Since ancient times, the Xie family had always been devoted to love.
It seemed like her son truly indulged in this daughter-in-law of hers.
Yun Bixue noticed that Ji Qiongxin was staring at her, and her face flushed instantaneously. This… Xie Limo really had no restraints even when facing his mother.
“Aunty, he…” Yun Bixue tried to explain, but didn’t know where to begin.
Ji Qiongxin excitedly exclaimed, “Bixue, you’re truly special! For a long time, my son was just like a block of ice—no one could thaw his heart—but in front of you, he’s being so gentle. It’s comparable to what his father was like back in those days. You’re really amazing.” As she spoke, she approached Yun Bixue and held onto her hands affectionately.
Yun Bixue felt her brain malfunctioning—she really couldn’t keep up with Xie Limo and his mother’s train of thoughts. They were really unpredictable!
“Aunty, he’s always been good to me.” Yun Bixue felt that ever since she met Xie Limo, he had constantly been by her side to help her out. After they got together, he had showered her with boundless care. It was so different from what Ji Qiongxin had described. Could he have been cold and distant in the past?
“Oh no, you have no idea. He used to make his father so anxious when he stayed away from the ladies. With so many beauties around him, he didn’t even bat an eyelid and merely looked at them indifferently. It was frightening. However, he definitely has great taste—yes, pretty good.” The longer Ji Qiongxin looked, the more satisfied she felt. Watching how the couple were behaving sweetly and in such a genuine manner, she could finally let go of some of her troubles.
She’d felt concerned that there might have been another reason for their hastiness in collecting the wedding certificate. In the end, it had been because of their affections for each other. Moreover, Yun Bixue appeared to be a decent person too.
When she returned home, she would surely boast about it to Limo’s father. Her son had good judgment in picking their daughter-in-law, just like how his father had been in the past.
Yun Bixue was startled. Xie Limo had such a past and had seen many beauties? Then why did he still like her?
Xie Limo observed that his mother was fond of Yun Bixue and the corners of his lips curved up slightly. “Mother, it’s rather chilly outside. Let’s continue our conversation at home!”
“Yes, let’s go home and chat. Look at him—he really dotes on you. You’re wearing so little, and he’s worried that you might feel cold. He’s more thoughtful than his father.” Ji Qiongxin felt as if she was on cloud nine and as she looked up at the skies, it looked even bluer than ever. Everything she laid her eyes on seemed pleasant.
Yun Bixue was muddle-headed and couldn’t respond in time. She had already put on the bangle and couldn’t reject it anymore.
After returning home, Yun Bixue wanted to prepare a meal, but Ji Qiongxin was worried that she would be exhausted. “Let Limo do it. Daughters-in-law are meant to be doted on. Let’s have fun and chat.”
Xie Limo returned after parking the car and overheard his mother’s words just as he entered the house. He shook his head resignedly and chuckled as he said, “My dear, accompany my mother for some chit-chat then. The dishes will be ready in a while.” As he spoke, he removed his blazer and rolled up his sleeves as he entered the kitchen.
Yun Bixue watched Xie Limo step into the kitchen, her gaze following him all the way. She desperately wanted to go in and help. They’d prepared to make so many dishes, and he would feel worn out making them alone.
Ji Qiongxin observed this calmly, and her heart felt happier and happier. However, to avoid being detected by others, she could only endure it. It was great that her daughter-in-law felt concerned about her son.
“Here, Bixue, eat this grape.” As she spoke, she peeled away the skin of the grape and passed it to Yun Bixue.
Yun Bixue looked at the grape her mother-in-law handed close to her mouth, and she truly couldn’t respond in time. Was Mother feeding her? Shouldn’t she be showing respect to her instead? Why was the opposite thing happening now?
“Aunty, you shouldn’t do this. Let me peel an orange for you.”
