Gu Mobei looked at their clasped hands, his eyes as dark as ink.

Hearing him say those words, Tang Yaoyao suddenly felt a sweet warmth in her heart, a feeling that perhaps only people in love can experience.

It was as if he held her heart in his palm, treasuring it dearly.

Fu Mengyao's eyes widened suddenly: "Fourth Brother, do you know what you're saying?"

Qiao Yanzhi's breathing suddenly became rapid, her eyes filled with shock. She looked at Fu Xiuchen, then at the two people holding hands tightly, and her heart was in turmoil.

After a long while, she finally spoke, speechless: "Sixteen?"

Xiao Jinhan's dark chestnut eyes were no longer as unfathomable as before, but instead held a sense of responsibility. He held her hand and replied, "What should we call each other?"

Qiao Yanzhi's last shred of hope was gone.

The "Sixteen" mentioned by Lao Si refers to Tang Yaoyao, and the earnestness in his eyes revealed a stubborn and deep affection to her.

It seems that he will marry no one but Tang Yaoyao in this lifetime.

He knew his son too well.

Qiao Yanzhi tried her best to control her dizziness and asked in a deep voice, "The person you told me about before, is she the one?"

"Um."

"It was she who helped improve your condition, wasn't it?"

Xiao Jinhan's sexy Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he answered once more, "Yes."

Qiao Yanzhi closed her eyes, the feeling in her heart only a mother could understand. After a while, she opened them again and asked, "When did you and her start?"

"On the night of the family dinner."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qiao Yanzhi slammed her hand on the coffee table, the loud bang making everyone's eardrums ache.

"Great! Excellent!"

Qiao Yanzhi was genuinely angry.

Ever since Xiao Jinhan said those words, she hasn't looked at Fu Xiuchen once more; she's afraid of seeing his dejected state.

She glared at the fourth son, swallowed hard, and after a long while, finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "How did I raise you since you were little? Do you still remember the family precepts of the Fu family?"

Tang Yaoyao suddenly didn't know how to bring up the topic of acknowledging her relatives.

She turned to look at Xiao Jinhan, only to see his serious gaze as he spoke each word clearly: "Respect the elderly and cherish the young, honor your elder brothers, love your younger brothers, do not bully the weak, do not fear the wicked, be a down-to-earth person, and remain faithful to your principles."

Qiao Yanzhi's eyes welled up with tears, and she said with exasperation, "Now, tell me, what have you done well?"

"I believe I have done it all."

Qiao Yanzhi angrily asked, "You did all that, and you stole your older brother's girlfriend?!"

Ye Xuan felt that the Fu family's affairs were too complicated.

But at this moment, she was filled with excitement because Tang Yaoyao and Xiao Jinhan's betrayal of Brother Chen had become a fact, and Qiao Yanzhi would definitely not forgive them in her anger.

At that time, everything she did would be seen by Qiao Yanzhi as acting on behalf of Heaven.

Fu Mengyao clenched her fists tightly, staring at the two clasped hands with a venomous look in her eyes, wishing she could rush forward and separate them.

Seeing her mother's heartbroken state, Tang Yaoyao finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Mom..."

Fu Xiuchen was surprised that she would speak, and quickly said, "Mom..."

The voices of a man and a woman were mixed together, but Qiao Yanzhi still understood what they were saying.

Tang Yaoyao called her "Mom".

At this moment, she finally understood why she had called Su Mei "Mom" when she was napping on the sofa that day.

Because she had already secretly pledged her life to the fourth brother and become his fiancée.

It was only a matter of time before she called me "Mom."
