Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao instantly understood each other, and their faces simultaneously revealed gossipy smiles. Their enthusiastic expressions were no less than Leng Yue's.
Zhang Ruoshui smiled helplessly and said reproachfully, "You talk too much, girl."
Leng Yue didn't care at all, and still smiled as she put her arm around Zhang Ruoshui's and walked towards the sofa.
Mu Shaohua warmly stepped forward and led Zhang Ruoshui to the sofa. She then hurriedly went to pour a glass of water and handed it to her with both hands, saying, "Mom, please have a glass of water."
Zhang Ruoshui took the water glass, and as she looked up, she met Mu Shaohua's gossipy gaze. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Little Mu, why are you looking at me like that? There's something dirty on Mom's face."
Mu Shaohua smiled mischievously, looking at her quietly: "Mom, tell me, how far have things progressed between you and Uncle Chen?"
Zhang Ruoshui was both amused and exasperated. No matter where she went, she couldn't escape her daughter-in-law's gossip. She could only helplessly say, "What else can I do? Just leave it at that."
"There can't be no progress, I don't believe it." Mu Shaohua persisted, her eyes full of suspicion.
Su Qingyao nodded in agreement, staring at Zhang Ruoshui with a curious expression.
Zhang Ruoshui smiled bitterly, knowing that she couldn't get through the day without clarifying things, so she had no choice but to tell the others everything about what Old Man Chen had asked her to do these past few days.
After hearing this, a strange light flashed in everyone's eyes.
Su Qingyao couldn't help but laugh and said, "I didn't realize Uncle Chen was so romantic."
Mu Shaohua rested her chin on her hands, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and she was practically pressed against Zhang Ruoshui.
My heart was filled with curiosity about my mother-in-law's love story, like opening Pandora's box that I couldn't close: "Mom, Uncle Chen invited you to that newly opened French restaurant. Did you even order a candlelight dinner? Tell me, did he send you flowers?"
As she spoke, she quickly winked at Leng Yue and Su Qingyao.
The three young women stared at Zhang Ruoshui with bright, sparkling eyes, like three curious kittens waiting to hear a story, hoping to dig out some romantic details from her mother-in-law.
Leng Yue couldn't contain herself any longer. She shook Zhang Ruoshui's arm and pleaded in a coquettish tone, "That's right! When we went to the clinic today, Uncle Chen's eyes were full of concern! Mom, stop keeping us in suspense!"
Zhang Ruoshui hadn't gone into detail about these things in the car earlier, which instantly piqued Leng Yue's curiosity again.
Zhang Ruoshui was surrounded by his daughters-in-law, feeling both annoyed and amused.
Her cheeks flushed slightly uncontrollably. She picked up her water glass and took a sip, trying to hide her unease, but still insisted, "You little brats, you're always teasing me. It's just a few meals and chats."
But she knew in her heart that the time she spent with Old Man Chen was indeed a special kind of experience, and she missed the days when she was young.
Su Qingyao leaned back lazily on the sofa, her hands supporting her weight, a sly smile playing on her lips: "Just having a meal and chatting?"
Her raised eyebrow was somewhat teasing, and her eyes conveyed a clear "I don't believe it" attitude.
This glance made Zhang Ruoshui's cheeks blush even more, and she was speechless: It seems that having too many daughters-in-law is not a good thing; nothing can be hidden from them.
Mu Shaohua wasn't about to let it go so easily, and pressed on, "Mom, what did you talk about? Did you discuss your future plans?"
As she spoke, she took a piece of fruit from the coffee table and stuffed it into Zhang Ruoshui's hand: "Don't be shy, we all hope you can be happy."
Mu Shaohua was genuinely happy for Zhang Ruoshui. After spending this time together, Zhang Ruoshui treated them like her own daughters.
Looking at her three expectant daughters-in-law, Zhang Ruoshui felt both embarrassed and touched.
After hesitating for a moment, her defenses were completely broken down by his overflowing concern, and she said softly, "Actually, chatting with him is quite relaxing. He talks about interesting things that happen in the clinic, and he also talks about his experiences when he was young."
Speaking of this, recalling the moments spent with Old Man Chen, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, and her eyes were filled with undisguised sweetness.
Leng Yue's eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao, offering a suggestion: "Shouldn't we help Mom and Uncle Chen out? For example, how about planning a romantic date?"
As she spoke, she began to envision a romantic date for the two of them, eager to put the plan into practice immediately.
Su Qingyao pondered for a moment, then a flash of inspiration appeared in her eyes: "Why don't we book the Yuhua Garden on the outskirts of the city? I heard the flowers there are in full bloom right now. We can decorate with some colorful lights and balloons, and prepare a delicious picnic. I guarantee it will be incredibly romantic!"
Mu Shaohua clapped her hands and cheered, her face beaming with excitement: "That's a great idea! Mom, you can rest assured and leave it to us. We'll make sure you and Uncle Chen's date is arranged perfectly!"
The three of them chatted away, completely absorbed in the excitement of planning their romantic date.
Watching her daughters-in-law discussing animatedly, Zhang Ruoshui looked on with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Oh my goodness, you all shouldn't be making such a fuss. I'm already old enough to leave all that romance to you young people."
Just as she was wondering how to change the subject, she suddenly caught sight of Lu Qingzhou sitting quietly to the side. Her eyes lit up and an idea came to her: "Hey, son, what my daughter-in-law and the others said is aimed at you. You'd better pay attention. It's been so long, and I've never heard them say that you've ever done anything romantic for them."
This tactic worked as expected, and Mu Shaohua and the others immediately turned their attention to Lu Qingzhou.
What did I do to deserve this? I was just quietly watching the drama unfold, I didn't say anything, so why is this all being directed at me?
