Zhou Rui took a deep breath, turned to look at He Muchen's mother with a smile, and said, "Mom, no... Auntie, please wait for me a moment, let me catch my breath."
"He Muchen and I are going over there to say something."
Before He Muchen's mother could speak, Zhou Rui pulled He Muchen aside.
Ms. Chen Xi and He Jingshen were left staring at each other, with Ms. Chen Xi growing to like Zhou Rui more and more the more she looked at him.
I wish I could take him home and take good care of him.
"Sigh! I like this daughter-in-law very much, but she's too thin. I think I should bring her home and let her take good care of herself."
He Jingshen said helplessly, "Ms. Chen Xi, do you think your sister-in-law is a little pig? You even brought her home to be properly cared for."
Ms. Chen Xi slapped He Jingshen hard on the back of the head again, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up and go share the afternoon tea I bought with everyone."
He Jingshen said weakly, "Okay, I'll go now."
On the other side, Zhou Rui pulled He Muchen aside and asked in a low voice, "How did your mother know we were together?"
"Wife, it's our mom, not my mom."
"And don't get too close to her."
? ?
"Why can't I get too close to her?" Zhou Rui stared at him in confusion.
He Muchen said seriously, "There's no reason why, just don't get too close to her, she's very fierce."
He Muchen could tell from his mother's eyes that she really liked Zhou Rui and even wanted to recognize him as her godson. If his wife became her godson, wouldn't he be his wife's younger brother?
That's absolutely unacceptable; he can only be my wife.
Zhou Rui turned to look at He Muchen's mother, who smiled at him.
"Fierce?"
"I think the auntie is quite gentle!"
Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen's mother. Unlike the vicious mother-in-law in TV dramas, her mother was quite cute.
"Honey, whatever you do, don't agree to be my mom's godson."
"I don't want to be your brother."
He Muchen pouted in frustration. He didn't want lovers to end up as brothers; he still wanted to be with his wife and become a couple.
He Muchen was also surprised that his mother suddenly came to the film set. She was there to visit the set, but she was clearly there to see her wife.
Pfft…
"Honey, aren't you overthinking this? Even if I agree to be your mom's godson, it's not like we can't date."
"I just don't want it. Something feels off. I think my mom is here to take you away from me."
Zhou Rui looked at He Muchen, who was puffing up in a huff and looking jealous. It was really cute.
She leaned closer, smiling, and tugged at the hem of his costume. "Honey, are you jealous of even your mother?"
I used to think he was jealous of little girls, but it turns out he doesn't even spare his own mother.
"It's not that I'm jealous, I just don't like it when people approach you with ulterior motives. You're mine, and nobody else should even think about you."
Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Okay, I'm yours, and no one else can covet me."
He Muchen secretly tugged at Zhou Rui's little hand, "That's more like it."
After they finished talking, the two walked up to Ms. Chen Xi and Mr. He Jingshen.
He Muchen whispered to Ms. Chen Xi, "Mom, tone it down, don't scare my wife away."
"Anyway, I'll only have one wife. You can decide what to do. I'm going to film now."
As Ms. Chen watched her youngest son's departing figure, she muttered to herself, "Am I really that unruly? You brat."
He Jingshen handed a cup of afternoon tea to Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui was slightly taken aback, stared at him, and took the afternoon tea from his hand.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you!"
This person is indeed much like what He Muchen's sister described; he has a natural air of asceticism about him, looks refined, and has elegant manners—quite different from her husband.
Ms. Chen Xi came to Zhou Rui's side and said warmly, "Little friend, how old are you this year?"
Zhou Rui smiled and replied, "Twenty-five."
Chen Xi exclaimed, "Holy crap...wow, the grass here is nice, so green!"
Zhou Rui, who was sitting next to her, was almost deafened by his loud shout.
He smiled and said to Ms. Chen Xi, "Hmm, the grass is nice, quite green."
"Auntie, the air here is quite nice too."
Ms. Chen Xi took a breath in agreement and said, "It's quite good."
"Little boy! Why do you like my youngest son so much?"
Zhou Rui excitedly expressed his feelings: "I was deeply attracted to him the moment I saw him on TV."
She added shyly, "Handsome!"
He Jingshen, who had been searching for people all day, heard the word "handsome" and glanced at the shy Zhou Rui, who was staring at his younger brother who was filming with a lovestruck expression.
She calmly asked, "What if He Muchen wasn't handsome? Would you still like him?"
Zhou Rui stared at He Jingshen, and even Ms. Chen Xi, who was standing next to him, stared at the two of them with some curiosity.
"Not handsome? As long as he is He Muchen, I will like him."
"Sister-in-law, are you a fan of my brother?"
Zhou Rui excitedly replied, "Yes, that's right."
He kept the words "super longtime fan" to himself, but in the near future, he would confidently introduce himself as Zhou Rui, a super longtime fan of He Muchen.
"No wonder you look like a fanboy. But you seem to have a celebrity filter on my brother. Once you've known each other for a while, you won't like him as much anymore."
Ms. Chen Xi got up and walked up to He Jingshen, patting the back of his head, "How can you be so eager for your brother to be unhappy?"
Ho King-sun rubbed his aching head and said, "Ms. Chen Xi, could you please stop patting people on the back of the head? It'll make you stupid."
"I think your brain is too sharp. You need to be patted more to become a little dumber so you'll be able to think of bringing someone back for me too!"
"Ms. Chen Xi, is it something I can decide about matters of the heart?"
"Why can't you make your own decision? Aren't you human?"
Zhou Rui was a little surprised to see that He Jingshen was completely different in front of his mother! He was really envious of the happy mother and son.
He laughed and said, "Auntie, he was probably talking about feelings, which isn't something he can decide on his own."
"Yes, my sister-in-law understands me best."
"I don't care. If you don't find a partner, you're not a human being in my eyes."
"I see your brother is married, but you haven't even found a partner."
"Marriage?" Zhou Rui was shocked when he heard this word.
How could He Muchen and I possibly get married? At most, we can only date!
Ms. Chen Xi excitedly grabbed Zhou Rui's hand, "Yes! As long as you're willing, I'll throw you a grand wedding."
"Auntie, thank you, no need! I've only been with He Muchen for a short time, how could I dare to think so much?"
In fact, Zhou Rui really looked forward to having a wedding with He Muchen. It didn't have to be a big one, just a small one, as long as we could get the blessings of our friends and parents.
"Ah! Little boy, don't you want to marry my youngest son?"
