Chu Moqing placed the durian in his hand, leaned closer and whispered, "You two go, Xiaxia and I have other things to do."

Wei Chi raised an eyebrow, revealing a knowing yet unspoken expression, and said to Moody, "Where is Butler Ye? Let's send this over."

When Moody saw Chu Moqing holding Wen Mengxia's hand, she understood. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, she knew that.

So he took Wei Chi and left, leaving the two of them behind.

Chu Moqing rubbed Wen Mengxia's hand with his thumb. "Xiaxia, I want to show you something. Come with me."

"What is that?"

You'll know when you get there.

Where to?

As Chu Moqing walked, he asked her, "Do you believe me?"

Wen Mengxia nodded: "I believe you."

"That's fine then."

Chu Moqing led Wen Mengxia toward his residence. On the way, they encountered Wen's mother and Mu's mother. When Wen's mother saw them walking hand in hand toward the house, she called Wen Mengxia aside.

She lowered her voice and said, "Honey, you're an adult now. I won't stop you from taking your relationship further, but you need to take precautions. Do you have a small umbrella? If not, Mommy will go get it for you."

"Mom~"

Wen Mengxia blushed deeply, covered her mother's mouth, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, we didn't mean to do that kind of thing."

Mrs. Wen pulled her hand away, displeased: "Is he impotent?"

"No!" Wen Mengxia stomped her foot, wishing she could disappear on the spot.

Being too open-minded by one's parents isn't necessarily a good thing; it makes her seem very old-fashioned.

Mrs. Wen said with exasperation, "Sometimes I even doubt if you two siblings are my children. You're so useless. If you meet someone you like, just go for it! It's the end of the world, why are you still worrying so much?"

Look at you two siblings. One is thirty and only managed to find a partner with our help. The other is almost thirty and hasn't even experienced what it's like to be with a man.

Twenty-six!

Wen Mengxia corrected her: "Mom, twenty-six, I'm twenty-six, I still have several years until I'm thirty!"

Wen's mother got even angrier: "You know you're twenty-six, why don't you hurry up and win over Xiao Chu?"

She lowered her voice and said, "Silly girl, good men are a rare species even in peacetime. Now that it's the apocalypse, good men are even rarer. If you meet one, why don't you hurry up and grab him? Are you going to regret it for the rest of your life?"

Wen Mengxia: "......"

Where is her older brother? She desperately needs him to draw attention away from her!

She looked up and saw Chu Moqing looking in her direction from not far away. She suspected that he had heard her!

She turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, and said to Wen's mother, "Mom, I know, please stop talking. I'll win him over today, okay?"

I regretted it as soon as I said it.

When she secretly went to look at Chu Moqing, she found him suddenly stunned.

Ahhhhh, he must have heard it!

Is it too late for her to explain now?

Mother Wen smiled and said, "That's right. We were wrong before to arrange your marriage with that bastard. Fortunately, we stopped the damage in time. We are very satisfied with Xiao Chu and we support you."

She pushed Wen Mengxia toward Chu Moqing: "Go ahead, but remember to take precautions."

Wen Mengxia: "......"
