She is often expressionless, never revealing what she’s thinking.
No matter what, the cautious cousin arrived at Wenmo’s abode.
These two ended up living together inexplicably.
<...Seeing his usually "unruly" son being so obedient today, Wen Yiquan became suspicious of his unusual behavior.
It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that I've seen how stubborn this kid usually is.
The decision to move out after the high school entrance exam was something I tried to stop him from doing, but in the end he still succeeded.
To be honest, ever since I found out they were dating, I've regretted giving them my household registration book and ID card.
When Wenmo confessed their relationship last time, he jokingly said that if they didn't acknowledge their relationship, they should elope and live their lives in a small county with a low cost of living.
Although he said he was joking.
But based on Wen Yiquan's understanding of his son, he might have genuinely considered eloping...
Su Juan was a little at a loss. She tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "They agreed, right? Can we relax now?"
"You believe everything he says? At least ask him a couple more questions to confirm if it's true or not." Wen Yiquan looked at Wen Mo with suspicion, as if trying to see his guilty conscience in his eyes.
However, the other person's sincere eyes looked as if they were wearing colored contact lenses, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever.
Wen Yiquan was at his wit's end, so he whispered a few words to Su Juan.
Su Juan understood, and stood up with a smile, walking to Xia Lian's side. "Girl, Auntie bought you some new clothes. Why don't you come and try them on?"
Xia Lian was a little confused, because even if she couldn't read the atmosphere, she could tell that the atmosphere was very serious. She didn't understand how the topic of new clothes had come up.
Despite her doubts, she still followed her aunt very obediently.
As the bedroom door clicked shut, only the father and son remained in the large living room, staring at each other in bewilderment.
The two sat far apart, as if separated by the Chu River and Han border, each playing their own game of chess in silence.
“Dad, just say what you want to say. There’s no need for us to be so suspicious of each other.” Wen Mo shrugged and looked at him innocently.
Wen Yiquan frowned slightly, stared at him for a while before looking away. After a long while, he casually asked, "Was what you said just now true or false?"
"What did you say?"
"I plan to go to a higher school, that's what I said."
"Really, I have no reason to lie to you."
After he finished speaking, Wen Yiquan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I know this kid is cunning, he shouldn't play tricks on me when it comes to something this important. What he says goes.
However, even though he had managed to persuade them to surrender, Wen Yiquan still felt a bit guilty, since he had prevented the children from making their choice.
"Don't blame me for being harsh, but you two are really still young and might be blinded by love, making it difficult for you to make sound decisions..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Mo suddenly said, "It's not just a temporary thing."
"Hmm?" Wen Yiquan stopped.
“I’m telling you, my relationship with her isn’t just a passing fancy.” Wen Mo took a deep breath and said slowly in a serious tone that I’d never heard before, “I’m serious, and she’s serious too. We’ll get our marriage certificate as soon as we reach the legal age.”
Wen Yiquan: "...?"
What the hell?
Weren't we just talking about college entrance exams?
Why are you asking me to get a marriage certificate?
After a long while, probably finally understanding her son's seriousness, Wen Yiquan looked troubled. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, so she could only manage to stammer, "Wait a minute..."
"I can't wait, I'll get the marriage certificate when I reach the legal age."
"That's why I told you to wait a bit!" Wen Yiquan rubbed his forehead and pinched his aching brow. "Why can't you ever give me a moment's peace..."
“Dad, you’ll understand my situation when you grow up.”
"I'm forty already! Aren't I old enough?!"
Wen Yiquan was speechless. He knew that since his son had given up the idea of staying in Linchuan, the other decision was absolutely irreversible.
So that's where I was saving my ultimate move!
"You need to think this through. Marriage isn't that simple. Your relationship is special, and we don't even know if you'll be able to get a marriage certificate..."
“So what if I like her? Are you going to break my leg?” Wen Mo retorted, sitting on the sofa and arguing his point.
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that you might meet other girls in college."
Wen Yiquan had already made his point clear: he didn't particularly approve of the relationship, at least from his perspective, the couple seemed very strange.
The original assumption was that these two might have gotten together simply because of hormones, and that once the passion faded, they would eventually break up.
Whether their feelings have faded or not is another matter, but now, they've only been together a short time and they're already talking about getting a marriage certificate.
"Other girls? Dad, you must be joking."
Wen Mo chuckled and crossed his legs in a very pretentious manner, determined not to lose to him in terms of sheer presence.
"I'm speaking from the heart; you might meet someone else again..."
"Are you saying that Lianbao isn't good?"
"That's not what I meant! She's a good girl, a very well-behaved and sensible girl, that's why I brought her home," Wen Yiquan explained slowly, hoping that these words would change his mind.
Unexpectedly, Wen Mo listened very attentively, but not a single word of it entered his mind. After he finished speaking, Wen Mo stared intently into Wen Mo's eyes and slowly opened his mouth.
"So isn't this great? It saves you the trouble of finding a wife. You bring her home, and we're mutually attracted. Perfect!"
After saying that, Wen Mo clapped his hands frankly.
"...Tsk."
