After scolding her son, Madam Shen turned to Xiao Qing and said gently, āMubei has been a blockhead since he was young. He doesnāt understand womenās thoughts and has never had a girlfriendā¦ā
When Xiao Qing heard this, she did not refute. She only bit her lip slightly, thinking that Madam Shen was just comforting her.
āJust tell him what you want. Otherwise, he wonāt know how to feel sorry for you,ā Madam Shen said. āYou can tell me what you like. In two days, Iāll plan your marriage. I might not be able to keep up with the preferences of you young people. If you have any thoughts, you have to tell me.ā
Xiao Qing had prepared a lot of words to clarify things with Madam Shen. The moment Madam Shen criticized her, she would blurt them out.
But now, she really couldnāt say a word.
Madam Shen held her hand with a smile and looked her up and down. āFrom the looks of it, youāll give birth to an obedient daughter. Donāt worry, I have experience in giving birth. If you donāt understand anything, ask me. Iāll teach you how to raise the baby and protect it.ā
āThank you, Aunt. I will.ā Xiao Qing could only say these words.
Madam Shen was an energetic person, but she liked Xiao Qingās quiet personality.
After chatting for a while, she was quite satisfied with her future daughter-in-law.
At noon, they all went to the dining table together.
Xiao Qing felt much better, but she still had nothing to say to Shen Mubei. She was talking to Madam Shen the entire time.
Seeing that Shen Mubei was not saying much, Madam Shen knocked on his bowl.
Shen Mubei picked up a few dishes and put them into Xiao Qingās bowl.
Xiao Qing lowered her head and took a look. Under Madam Shenās expectant gaze, she picked up the food and ate it. However, the food seemed bland.
When Madam Shen saw this, she felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from her heart. She wished she could clap.
Madam Shen quickly finished eating. She put down her bowl and said, āIāll call your mom and make an appointment for a meal. Itās better to officially settle this matter. You guys eat first. Iāll make the call now.ā
As soon as she left, the entire dining table seemed to have been muted.
Shen Mubei ate elegantly. His chopsticks did not even make a sound when they touched his rice bowl.
Xiao Qing lowered her head and ate the rice in her bowl.
After Madam Shen walked away, she said in a low voice, āPresident Shenā¦ā
āDo you not know my name?ā Shen Mubei stopped eating and looked at her.
āOkay, Shen Mubei.ā Xiao Qingās voice was still very low. She mustered up her courage and said, āI know you and your family want children, but donāt you have a girlfriend? How are you going to face her if youāre suddenly like this? How am I going to deal with my own identity? I canāt be a mistress.ā
Her original intention was to let him persuade Madam Shen so that both of them could convince their families.
However, these words meant something else to Shen Mubei, so he replied, āIāve already broken up with my girlfriend, and she agreed. You donāt have to worry about it.ā
Xiao Qing stared at him in surprise. āWhen did this happen?ā
āIn the past few days.ā Shen Mubeiās voice was calm.
Xiao Qing, on the other hand, felt uncomfortable⦠How much did he want this child? He broke up with a girlfriend he had been with for several years just like that?
Was this really something a normal person would do?
Seeing that her expression suddenly became very bad, Shen Mubei asked, āAre you feeling unwell? Do you feel like vomiting? Iāll get the doctor to come over!ā
āNo, no.ā Xiao Qing stopped him. āWhy donāt⦠you tell Aunt that we donāt want this child?ā
Shen Mubeiās eyes darkened, and his voice was a little dry. āAnd then what?ā
āThen letās pretend that this never happened. Go and persuade your mother. Iāll go back and persuade my mother. Letās⦠each convince our families,ā Xiao Qing said in a low voice. āIām also very sorry that my mother called your mother.ā
For a moment, she didnāt hear a response. All she heard was the sound of chopsticks being slammed on the table.
She looked up and saw anger in Shen Mubeiās usually cold eyes. She continued in a low voice, āBut itās not my motherās fault. My mother simply feels sorry for me. I apologize on her behalf. Iām sorry too.ā
āOther than apologizing, do you have anything else to say?ā There was suddenly a trace of terrifying coldness in his voice.
Xiao Qing felt that his appearance was a little scary. His eyes were so cold that it made people shudder. It was as if he wanted to eat her up.
She was also agitated now. How many times had she apologized for this matter? Why was he still like this?
She also put down her chopsticks and said, āI really have nothing else to say. I admit that I did something wrong, and Iāll bear the consequences. Iāve already apologized. What else do you want me to do?ā
After saying that, she looked at his increasingly gloomy eyes fearlessly. āWhat did you do wrong?ā Madam Shen laughed and walked over. āSigh, Iām really in a good mood now. Qing Qing, Iāve already told your mother that our families will meet as soon as possible and confirm the matter. Iāll have a lot of questions to ask you before then. I have to understand my in-lawsā preferences. Otherwise, itāll be our familyās fault.ā
Shen Mubei raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Qing with interest in his eyes.
Xiao Qing felt uncomfortable under his gaze and lowered her eyes slightly. However, his gaze was too strong, so she had no choice but to open her eyes and meet his gaze.
Then, she finally understood what he meant. It was fine if she didnāt want to get married. She would have to convince Madam Shen herself.
How could it be possible?
Xiao Qing was not familiar with Madam Shen at all. Other than her first impression of her today, she did not know anything else. Now, she had to convince Madam Shen?
She couldnāt bring herself to ask, let alone find a suitable reason.
Shen Mubei had an expression that said, āIf youāre not gonna say anything, I wonāt say anything either.ā He picked up his chopsticks and started eating again.
Xiao Qing clenched her fists. āAuntā¦ā
āQing Qing, I donāt think you should call me āAuntā anymore. Itās a little distant.
Why donāt you start calling me āMomā now?ā
Xiao Qing looked at her awkwardly. āAunt, I have something to tell youā¦ā
āIndeed, these things canāt be changed so quickly.ā Madam Shen immediately stood up, took out a brocade box from her bag, and stuffed it into Xiao Qingās hand..
