Chapter 23 Duan Jinchi's mother visits

After lunch, Jiang Muyun said she needed to think about it some more.

As soon as he left, Duan Jinchi opened the car door, and Song Yinxi got in quite naturally.

Xie Shumo also wanted to get on the car, but Duan Jinchi stopped him outside with a look.

Xie Shumo pursed her lips and couldn't help but think to herself: How come my brother has become so focused on his lover and neglects his friends after getting married?

"Honey, what did the doctor say at our follow-up appointment today?"

"The doctor said... the blood clot in my brain hasn't dissipated yet, and my memory hasn't fully recovered," Song Yinxi replied softly, adding, "But don't worry, I'll try my best to remember. I've already remembered some things."

Duan Jinchi felt a chill run down his spine. "You, you, what did you remember?"

Is he panicking now?

With such poor mental fortitude, he even pretended to be her husband!

Song Yinxi said calmly, "Some things from my childhood. The doctor said that memories recover slowly, little by little, which is normal."

"Then... what happened between us, do you remember?" Duan Jinchi asked tentatively.

Song Yinxi suddenly leaned closer, "Why do I feel like you don't want me to remember? Don't you want me to regain my memories?"

"How could this be?!"

Duan Jinchi retorted, "Of course I hope you regain your memory and think about all the things that happened during our relationship."

Bullshit!

They used to be mortal enemies.

Where have I ever been in love?

"Honey, even though I haven't regained my memory, we can still do sweet things now!" Song Yinxi took his arm. "Like now, honey, come with me to the 4S shop. I don't even know how to check if the car is fixed. You definitely know more than me, so help me take a look!"

Duan Jinchi was so flattered that he was completely overwhelmed and nodded repeatedly.

The two went to the 4S store, had dinner outside, and returned to the villa in the evening.

As soon as the car stopped, Uncle Li rushed out, "Young Master, Young Master! Madam Xie is here."

mom!!

Duan Jinchi's smile froze instantly, and he whispered to Song Yinxi, "Wife... my mother is here."

"Auntie is here, so what's the rush?" Song Yinxi took his arm again. "We're not in any shady relationship."

Duan Jinchi stood rooted to the spot, his steps heavy as lead.

Song Yinxi tried to pull him away but couldn't budge him. "Duan Jinchi, what do you mean?"

Butler Li, watching from the side, was terrified, inwardly groaning: "Young Master! We're probably going to be exposed tonight! There's nothing I can do to save you!"

"Wife..." Duan Jinchi leaned close to her ear and whispered, "We're actually secretly married... My mom doesn't know yet..."

Song Yinxi raised her hand and tapped his head: "Do you think I've lost my memory? You don't even remember what happened last night? Someone must have told on me! Besides, Auntie is here now, and there are so many servants in the house, how could we possibly keep it a secret?"

Her gaze was firm, and her tone resolute: "What's there to be afraid of? We're truly in love!"

These are words that Duan Jinchi used to say all the time.

Song Yinxi was secretly laughing, and with a strong pull, Duan Jinchi had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow her inside.

We're doomed!

We're doomed!

Mother--

In the brightly lit living room, Xie Shuya sat on the sofa, her posture elegant, but her face was cold and stern.

Song Yinxi has always admired Xie Shuya; strong women are her idols.

It has to be said that Duan Jinchi is fortunate to have such a beautiful mother as Xie Shuya, otherwise he wouldn't have such a handsome face.

"Mom!" Song Yinxi blurted out.

She then exclaimed "Ah!" and covered her mouth, saying, "No, no... it's Auntie."

She looked up at Duan Jinchi, her face innocent: "I'm sorry, I forgot we're secretly married and haven't had a wedding yet. Auntie hasn't given me the 'change of address' gift, so I can't call her Mom..."

Hahaha!!!

Seeing Duan Jinchi's frustrated expression, she was overjoyed.

Hehe~

You said all of these things, right?

Don't blame me.

Xie Shuya glanced between the two of them: "You two...are you married?"

Duan Jinchi nodded stiffly.

"When did this happen? I'm your own mother and I didn't even know! Show me the marriage certificate!" Xie Shuya exclaimed in shock.

"Inside the safe," Duan Jinchi replied casually. "Mom, it's for real!"

"You two are... really!" Xie Shuya stood up. "Are you still my son? I have to find out about your marriage from Lin Manni! I even arranged a blind date for you two, and to make up for it, I even gave her a whole set of skincare products today. You really know how to trick your own mother."

"Mom! This daughter-in-law is so wonderful! Look at our Xixi, she's beautiful and capable. We're a perfect match in terms of height, looks, and family background! It's a match made in heaven, so... Mom, can you agree to our marriage?" Duan Jinchi hugged Song Yinxi tightly and said.

"Get out of my way!" Xie Shuya said coldly.

"Mom! We are truly in love!!" Duan Jinchi refused to let go of Song Yinxi's hand.

"Xixi, are you sure you love him? Has he forced you?" Xie Shuya's tone softened considerably when she spoke to Song Yinxi.

Duan Jinchi: "???"

How come this is different from what he expected?

Isn't Mom here to break them up?

Song Yinxi nodded, "Of course! Auntie, I like him very much."

“But you guys before…” Xie Shuya hesitated.

"Mom! You obviously don't watch enough TV dramas. We're a pair of bickering lovers. When it comes to feelings, you never know..." Duan Jinchi quickly interjected, afraid that his mother might say something that would let Song Yinxi know the truth.

“Your mother isn’t that old-fashioned! I’m just worried you’ll bully that girl. Since Xixi really likes you, you absolutely can’t bully her!!” Xie Shuya said, taking off a top-grade jade bracelet from her wrist.

"Xixi, it's all that brat's fault. He kept such a big thing as getting married a secret from us. We should have gone through all the proper formalities. But don't worry, we won't treat you badly! Here, take this." Xie Shuya said with a look of relief, "That's great."

Song Yinxi obediently accepted it and sweetly thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Of course, if you need anything in the future, just let Auntie know. Um, it's getting late, you two should go upstairs and enjoy your time together. Don't worry about me, I'll stay in the guest room!"

Xie Shuya said, giving them a push, "Go quickly, young people, get some rest and go to sleep early."

Duan Jinchi looked completely bewildered.

He followed Song Yinxi upstairs.

Song Yinxi sat on the sofa, holding up the bracelet to look at it. "Auntie, this bracelet looks quite expensive. Am I accepting this gift too quickly?"

Duan Jinchi said, "A small goal."

"One hundred million!!" Song Yinxi exclaimed in surprise, carefully holding the money in both hands. "It's so expensive, should I go and return it to Auntie?"

"Honey, since Mom gave it to you, it's yours. Accept it!"

"Auntie is so kind, I love you, Auntie!! A hundred million! Honey, you've never given me such an expensive gift before, have you?" Song Yinxi held the bracelet to her heart, cherishing it dearly.

"Who said that? I have it!" Duan Jinchi's competitive spirit kicked in.

"What is it?" Song Yinxi stared intently at him. "I don't remember, honey, can you remind me?"

He has never actually given it to anyone.

"I've found a house, but I haven't gone through the formalities yet," Duan Jinchi said stubbornly.

"Oh, so you didn't give me one~" Song Yinxi looked down at the bracelet. "Auntie is so nice."

"I'll take care of it another day!" Duan Jinchi said. "You can enjoy it while I go take a shower."

When Mom told them to go to bed early, she didn't just mean it in a simple sense.

Oh.

elder.

They pressure people to get married before they're even married, and then pressure them to have children after they're married. I wonder who gave them this task of pressuring them to get married and have children.

He's not a man that Song Yinxi can get so easily!!
