“I can tell that Elder Brother cares a lot about my sister-in-law.” Naturally, Meng Ruoting understood her mother’s concern. “You know that Elder Brother rarely gets angry but she made him fly off the handle last night.”
Meng Ruoting did not think she exaggerated the slightest bit. This was because her Elder Brother’s overcast expression was terrifying when he left her Sister-in-law’s room last night.
“They got into a fight?” Meng Shiyao posed the question nonchalantly. She did not sound concerned because, in her opinion, quarreling between a married couple was normal.
Not getting into quarrels at all would be the real problem!
Lanchen’s exasperation meant he must really have cared about this woman.
If so, she could be rest assured.
“Mommy, I should hand the phone over to Elder Brother so you can interrogate him yourself.” In actuality, Meng Ruoting was dying to know what happened between the two but she knew her Elder Brother would not reveal a thing even if she enquired.
However, there was no doubt he would speak truthfully if Mommy was the one who did the questioning.
In short, Meng Ruoting wanted to satisfy her own curiosity.
“What’s gotten into your head, you crazy little girl? Your Elder Brother and Sister-in-law are probably still asleep at this hour. You will only disturb them if you go to their room now.” Meng Shiyao immediately convinced her daughter otherwise.
“Don’t worry, Mommy, I’ll not disturb them because they sleep in different rooms.” Those words escaped Meng Ruoting’s mouth carelessly.
“In different rooms? You mean that they sleep separately?” This caught Meng Shiyao in surprise. Something must be wrong if they slept in separate rooms after marriage.
Simultaneously, Meng Ruoting was already knocking on Ye Lanchen’s door. The latter was an early riser by habit and he had already gotten out of bed by now. Meng Ruoting walked in straightaway and closed the door behind her, thinking that her Elder Brother was going to speak to Mommy.
“Phone call from Mommy.” Meng Ruoting extended the phone to Ye Lanchen.
“Mom,” Ye Lanchen greeted as he received the phone. His expression remained calm as water and he sounded no different from usual.
“I heard from Tingting that you’re married.” Since Meng Ruoting had already passed the phone over to Ye Lanchen, Meng Shiyao could only inquire as her daughter wished. Of course, she was also concerned about the matter.
“Yup.” This did not catch Ye Lanchen by surprise. Naturally, he saw through Meng Ruoting’s little scheming mind.
“Tingting mentioned that she’s pretty good.” Meng Shiyao failed to discern anything from his simple, monosyllable answer.
“Yup,” Ye Lanchen replied, short and sweet as expected.
“You shouldn’t be as cold and distant anymore, now that you’re married. You might terrify her.” However, his reply this time put a smile across Meng Shiyao’s face. She knew her son better than anyone. This was the first time ever that he admitted a girl was pretty good in his eyes.
Ye Lanchen laughed sarcastically. Could he terrify her? She did not seem like a timid person.
“I’ll bring her over when I visit you next time.” Ye Lanchen understood his mother’s concern and knew that action spoke louder than words.
Meng Ruoting was utterly stunned by his response. She widened her round eyes and stared at Ye Lanchen in disbelief.
Had she heard wrongly?
He mentioned that he would bring her Sister-in-law to meet mom?
How could that be possible? That was impossible!
Meng Shiyao was also astonished, her hand that was holding the phone trembled slightly. Her son’s remark threw her by surprise yet she was delighted at the same time.
