"What's so funny? Who told you to call me 'Happy'!"

Liu Ziming glanced at Jiang Yanshu, who was staring intently at him, and then realized that the young girl was avoiding suspicion!

Recently, their relationship has become much closer than before, and he thought he could take this opportunity to rise in status and have a formal title.

As it turns out, it seems the person she loves is still unwilling!

Liu Ziming sighed. There was nothing he could do but smooth things over himself. Although Jiang Yanshu certainly wouldn't believe it, he had to make him believe it on the surface!

Otherwise, his pursuit of his wife might have encountered unexpected complications!

"Hehe, I'm just following Uncle Jiang's lead. Don't be so stingy. It's just a form of address. It doesn't matter how you call me. I don't mind if you call me Momo!"

"MoMo?"

Jiang Xile stared wide-eyed at Liu Ziming. What was wrong with this guy? And what kind of weird nickname was "Mo Mo"?

"Ahem, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! How about this, I'll call you Lele, and you call me Zimo. We won't have to call each other brother and sister anymore, it'll save us a lot of trouble, right!"

Jiang Xile rolled her eyes at Liu Ziming, then turned to look at Jiang Yanshu beside her. She saw that her father's eyes were burning with a gossip spirit, and Jiang Xile rolled her eyes again.

Ignoring Liu Ziming's intermittent tantrums, they disregarded the previous topic.

"It's getting late, you must all be hungry. I'll tell Aunt Li to serve the food!"

"Alright, alright, alright, let's eat! Ask Aunt Li to add two more dishes. Zimo, you can eat here too. After you finish eating, you two can go see a movie. Perfect timing!"

Jiang Yanshu brought the topic back to the present as soon as she spoke.

"What are you looking at? I'm not going, Dad, don't talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense am I talking about? Zi Mo came all the way here to invite you to see a movie. It's not like we don't know each other. Go on, go on!"

"Dad isn't old-fashioned. Whether things develop in the future depends on yourselves. Dad won't interfere, don't worry!"

"Well..."

Jiang Yanshu had already said so much, what else could Jiang Xile do? She just pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

As for Liu Ziming, he had already made his name known to his father-in-law. Even if he didn't have a formal title yet, he was still a suitor officially recognized by his father-in-law.

His gaze towards Jiang Xile intensified, making her unusually uncomfortable, and she felt her ears burning.

Seeing his beloved blush, Liu Ziming wisely looked away. If he continued staring and annoyed her, it would be a loss.

Liu Ziming was very pleased with Jiang Xile's reaction today, which proved that his three years of hard work had not been in vain.

He eventually managed to leave a mark on Jiang Xile's heart through his own efforts.

As the saying goes, even the most virtuous woman can be won over by a persistent suitor. If he keeps at it, one day he will be able to win over this unattainable beauty.

Before long, Aunt Li had prepared all the dishes. With a call to eat, Jiang Yanshu sat down at the table with Jiang Xile and Liu Ziming.

Looking at Liu Ziming, who was being very attentive at the dinner table, Jiang Yanshu felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he were a son-in-law who had moved into the family home.

During the meal, Jiang Xile originally wanted to ask about the handling of the Deng family, but considering that Liu Ziming was present, she had to put it aside for the time being.

After dinner, urged by Jiang Yanshu, Jiang Xile finally went out with Liu Ziming. However, the two did not go to see a movie, but just strolled around in a nearby park.

A gentle evening breeze and the chirping of cicadas create a cool and pleasant atmosphere in the summer park.

Seeing that Jiang Xile was in a low mood, Liu Ziming simply stayed quietly by her side, not wanting to disturb her thoughts.

Jiang Xile herself didn't know why. Perhaps it was because things had all piled up recently, causing her emotions to accumulate and making her inexplicably feel down.

Living in a peaceful world for too long, it seems that the resentment I developed in the apocalypse has been corroded by the stability of this present world.

When they reached a small lake, Jiang Xile gradually stopped.

Liu Ziming stood quietly to the side. The moon's reflection on the lake was very bright, but unfortunately, the little monkeys in the trees were gone, so the fun of trying to catch the moon was no longer there.

With a smile playing on her lips, Jiang Xile's mood improved without her even realizing it.

Are you feeling better?

"Um!"

"How about we go see a movie together after get off work tomorrow night?"

"OK!"

"You agreed?"

"What? You've changed your mind?"

"How could that be! I couldn't be happier!"

Jiang Xile turned her head, looked at Liu Ziming and smiled slightly. Her gentle smile immediately touched Liu Ziming's heart, and the two looked at each other like that.

This was the first time Liu Ziming had so clearly sensed Jiang Xile's change, and their relationship finally had the potential to take a further step.

This made him overjoyed, and his eyes blazed with intense love, his gaze so intense it seemed to melt one's heart.

As for Jiang Xile herself, it was just a sudden realization.

When she realized that she couldn't remain unmarried for the rest of her life, she intentionally started to get in touch with Liu Ziming.

Furthermore, Liu Ziming has remained true to her original aspirations over the past three years, so why should she continue to be timid and hesitant?

Love is ultimately a two-way street; if it's only one-sided, with one person giving and chasing, it will undoubtedly be painful.

The first step in falling in love is to respond to the other person. Liu Ziming's personality, appearance, ability, and family background all fit Jiang Xile's preferences.

Since she's also interested, why not give it a try!
