Shi Nianyao was thinking as she observed Mo Xicheng that he had been rather busy since they had gotten engaged.
Initially, it had been because of his own work. Later on, it had been Shen Liangchuan’s wedding.
And now that had finally come to an end.
She felt as if she hadn’t seen him for a long time. As the best man and bridesmaid at the wedding, they had only been able to look at each other longingly from afar.
Now finally, a chance to speak.
She was overjoyed and looked at him for a moment, before she took a step towards him and circled her arms around her male idol.
He reached out to tap her nose affectionately and asked in a low voice, “Did you have enough to eat today?”
Nodding immediately, she said, “I’m stuffed! I won’t mistreat myself. Besides, the food today was really yummy!”
Mo Xicheng: …
Her ever optimistic expression naturally made him smile.
Just as he was about to speak, his cell phone rang.
He halted and looked down at the screen. It was his mother, Yao Lili.
He frowned, but picked up the call nevertheless. Yao Lili sounded somewhat cold as she asked, “The wedding is over?”
Mo Xicheng nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Umm… And Shi Nianyao is next to you?”
He answered, “That’s right.”
“Fine, I want you to bring her home today.”
Mo Xicheng paused and asked, “Mom, what’s up?”
“Can’t I meet her for no reason? Or is it that she’s the Shi family’s precious daughter, so I can’t meet her? You’re already engaged, is there a problem for us to meet?”
She was making things difficult. Mo Xicheng frowned and replied, “If that’s your attitude, I’m not bringing her home.”
On this note, he hung up the line.
“What’s the matter?” Shi Nianyao asked in a low voice as she could sense his unhappiness.
He did not reply, but pursed his lips.
After a while, her cell phone vibrated.
She looked down at the screen and then at Mo Xicheng. “Eh? Auntie has invited me to your house for a meal. She’s asked me to go home with you.”
Mo Xicheng asked, “Do you feel like it?”
Shi Nianyao thought for a while and replied, “I feel that there’s some sort of misunderstanding between Auntie and me. So I’ll go with you. We’re getting married sooner or later, so if we don’t start on the right foot, it’s just going to be troublesome afterwards.”
Mo Xicheng thought about what she said and finally nodded.
They got into the car and drove to Yao Lili’s villa.
As they were on the way, Shi Nianyao anxiously contemplated what she was going to say to Yao Lili when they met. Just as she was lost in her own thoughts, she heard Mo Xicheng say, “Today’s wedding ceremony was deeply touching for me.”
Shi Nianyao snapped out of her thoughts and said, “What was that?”
Staring straight ahead, he said with a deadpan expression, “Shen Zihao is five years younger than me, but he’s going to be a father soon.”
Shi Nianyao ventured, “… And so?”
“So when would you be ready to marry me?”
Shi Nianyao: … !!
My idol, is that a proposal or something?
But that was rather sudden, wasn’t it?
As she said these words in her head, Mo Xicheng continued, “Uh huh, if we don’t fight for our happiness, we’re going to be left behind.”
Shi Nianyao: …!!
She felt a burning sensation on her face as it turned a bright scarlet. She lowered her head.
The car pulled to a stop. Then Mo Xicheng leaned towards her and asked, “Nianyao, what do you think?”
