Liu Xiangru and Zhou Zheng still couldn't believe it. They thought that their promise that the two children were fine was a lie.

Now that things have come to this, looking back on it, it doesn’t seem right.

Zhou Mo and Han Chen were both teenage boys and girls, an age when hormones were exploding. They were inseparable every day, going to and from school together. It would be strange if nothing happened.

But these parents were too blind to notice the obvious clues.

They believed whatever Zhou Mo said.

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry," Zhou Mo said, feeling very guilty. "I lied to you back then."

Liu Xiangru originally wanted to scold him, but then she thought it was not a big deal.

"It's all in the past," Liu Xiangru said, "Besides, you and Han Chen are both so old now, and it's time to get married. Forget it, don't make a fuss about it."

A huge stone in Zhou Mo's heart fell to the ground instantly. She hugged Liu Xiangru and acted coquettishly, "Hehe, Mom, you are indeed my real mother, and you are the best to me."

Liu Xiangru pushed her away in disgust, "Okay, it's only because your Aunt Liang is here, otherwise... just wait and see how I deal with you."

Although he said cruel words, his subordinate gently tapped Zhou Mo's forehead.

Liu Xiangru is easy to deal with, but Zhou Zheng is not so easy to deal with.

He still had that scowl on his face. "It felt like that guy was always trying to be attentive. Momo had low blood sugar, so we took her to the hospital. I said I'd carry her, but he was so proactive. It turns out he had bad intentions all along."

Liu Xiangru patted him, glared at him and winked, meaning that Liang Xinyun was also there and it was not good to say such things about Han Chen in front of her.

I also realized that it was inappropriate. Although I felt more and more unwilling the more I thought about it, I could only suppress my anger.

The two children have already talked about it and are about to get married. There is no point in arguing about it.

"You're daughters, so you're definitely more worried and thoughtful. I understand how you feel," Liang Xinyun said. "But I also want to say a few words on Han Chen's behalf. When Han Chen told me he and Momo were together, I was shocked and incredibly worried. I was afraid he was simply going through puberty, a momentary curiosity, mistaking it for love. They're young, don't understand responsibility, and don't know how to love someone. We're neighbors, and they're both at a critical stage in their studies. If a conflict arises, it could be a serious problem. I confirmed it with Han Chen again, and he said he truly loves Momo, especially spending time with her. He's the youngest in the family, and everyone revolves around him. But when it comes to Momo... Momo doesn't tolerate his bad habits, so he ends up revolving around her. I've been his mother for so many years, and no one knows better than me that this is his first time truly falling in love with a girl. It's such a rare opportunity, I can't help but support him, so..."

"That's all in the past. Aren't the two children doing well now? Besides..." Liu Xiangru also said, "When Momo was being harassed by Yu Yizhou, I thought that if I hadn't stopped her and Han Chen, the two children would have been together a long time ago. Now it seems... we were too insensitive. These two children are playing palace tricks on us."

"I'll let you know about this sooner or later," Liang Xinyun said earnestly, "Now that the two children are together, the matter of meeting their parents should be put on the agenda. It just so happens that Han Chen's father is no longer a secret. I'll contact him and see when we can have time for a simple meeting between our two families."

"That's great," Liu Xiangru said with a smile. "Old Zhou and I have been thinking about when our two families can meet and finalize the marriage as soon as possible."

"I want to, too," Liang Xinyun said excitedly, "but... Han Chen's father has a special job, so he may not be free."

"It's okay. Lao Zhou and I are not busy. If he can come to Dongjiang, we will be free anytime." Liu Xiangru said.

"It's great that you understand." Liang Xinyun also expressed gratitude.

The two old sisters chatted enthusiastically about the meeting between their parents, and even started discussing which restaurant to choose for the meeting.

Only Zhou Zheng, who was standing aside, had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Zhou Mo secretly looked at Zhou Zheng and asked cautiously, "Dad?"

Zhou Zheng came back to his senses: "Huh? What's wrong?"

"Why are you unhappy?" Zhou Mo asked.

“I’m not unhappy.”

"You're lying," Zhou Mo stepped forward and took Zhou Zheng's arm. "Are you still worried about me? Like my mom said, you don't want me to get married?"

"Hey," Zhou Zheng sighed helplessly, "I can't help it, but I can. Baby birds always leave the nest, and daughters always get married. It's just... it makes me a little uncomfortable. I didn't feel it before, but now that you're really talking about marriage... I won't say anything more. It's all good news, and I can't spoil the fun for you and your daughter."

"Dad, I know you love me and can't bear to leave me, but you can think about it from another perspective. Isn't it good to have one more person who loves me in this world?"

Zhou Zheng nodded, "Okay, of course. As long as you are happy."

"Let's stop talking and start cooking. Otherwise, Han Chen might come back and the meal won't be ready yet."

Liu Xiangru greeted everyone, stopped talking and returned to her main task of cooking.

As she spoke, her words really came true.

The meal was not yet cooked when Han Chenzhen came back.

Not only did he come back, he also brought back two BOBOCAKE gift boxes.

"Aunt Liu, Momo told me that you also like this ice cream. I bought another box, as well as their new cake. You can take it back later."

Liu Xiangru took it with a smile, but she still looked a little embarrassed. After all, she was so old and still eating something that children liked, which was more or less "shameful".

"That's thoughtful of you. I'll take it," Liu Xiangru said, glancing at Zhou Mo. "Why did you tell Han Chen that I like to eat this?"

Zhou Mo stuck out his tongue. "Don't think that just because I don't go home often, I forget about the ice cream in the freezer. Last time I went with Aunt Liang to check for formaldehyde, it was hot and I wanted to try some, but all the ice cream disappeared inexplicably. Where did they go? Did my dad eat them?"

"You're the only one who talks too much," Liu Xiangru slapped Zhou Mo angrily to stop him from exposing her shortcomings.

Zhou Zheng also said: "Just say Momo is smart and there's no way she'd forget. I told you to eat less so you don't get caught."

Liu Xiangru was so angry that she said, "Don't blame me alone." She pointed at Zhou Zheng and said to Zhou Mo, "Your dad ate it too and said it tasted good."

Zhou Mo was helpless. "Alright, alright, stop showing off. I've already taken in enough sugar today. I don't want to be fed sugar by you guys anymore."

"Hurry up and cook, or I'll starve to death," Zhou Zheng urged.

So, the three ladies went into the kitchen.

Zhou Zheng continued to pick garlic at the dining table.

Han Chen looked at the empty living room and suddenly felt at a loss. Although this was his home, he inexplicably felt cramped.

"Uncle Zhou, let me help you," Han Chen said, sitting opposite Zhou Zheng.
