He had good taste indeed to find such a beautiful and understanding girlfriend.
"Thank you." Lin Guixiang touched her necklace, her face brimming with happiness.
"Ah Xiang, you’re thanking me? Sooner or later, we’re going to be one family!" Mu Baicheng held Lin Guixiang’s hand, "I can’t wait to register our marriage."
He was sincere.
As long as Lin Guixiang agreed to register their marriage, he was willing to do anything.
Lin Guixiang wasn’t lost in tenderness, but slightly lifted her gaze to look at Mu Baicheng, "Have you resolved the issues with your mother?"
Mu Baicheng sat next to Lin Guixiang, carefully choosing his words, "Ah Xiang, my mom really likes you. That previous incident was just a misunderstanding. She’s still in the hospital now. Can you wait a bit more to discuss the apology? You, could you come with me to visit my mom at the hospital? It just so happens my sister is back from abroad too..."
From the son’s perspective, his mother’s actions weren’t a big issue; no mother doesn’t wish for her son to marry a wife of good character.
But from Lin Guixiang’s perspective, she had indeed been offended...
Fortunately, Old Lady Mu’s actions hadn’t caused any substantial harm to Lin Guixiang.
Therefore, Lin Guixiang shouldn’t hold a grudge against Old Lady Mu.
Thinking this, Mu Baicheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can’t," Lin Guixiang flatly refused, "Baicheng, a mistake is a mistake, and whoever makes it must pay for their errors."
Apparently not expecting Lin Guixiang to refuse outright, Mu Baicheng was taken aback.
"Ah Xiang, I didn’t say my mom won’t apologize to you. I mean that you come with me first to visit my mom at the hospital, and once she’s discharged, she will definitely apologize to you. Would that be acceptable?" Mu Baicheng’s tone was very gentle, turning into a plea by the end.
It was somewhat pitiful.
But Lin Guixiang didn’t soften at all, still shaking her head, "She must apologize first."
Mu Baicheng sighed, "Ah Xiang, I’m begging you, okay? My mom is quite stubborn. She, she won’t bow her head to a junior first. Can you just treat it as going through the motions at the hospital with me?"
"You are only considering your mother’s feelings, what about me?" Lin Guixiang just looked at Mu Baicheng, "We’re still just boyfriend and girlfriend now, and you want me to unconditionally accommodate your mother. What if we get married? Once we’re family, am I supposed to do whatever your mother says?"
If Lin Guixiang were just an eighteen-year-old girl today, she might think visiting an old person in the hospital was no big deal
But she was almost forty years old.
She needed more than just love in her future life.
"Ah Xiang," Mu Baicheng looked up at Lin Guixiang, "really, it’s not okay?"
"No." Lin Guixiang was very firm.
This was somewhat of a test for Mu Baicheng.
If he kept delaying and not addressing the problem, Lin Guixiang would consider cutting her losses timely.
Mu Baicheng’s eyes were filled with helplessness, "Alright then, I’ll go back and communicate well with my mom. Let’s forget all these unpleasant things for now and sit down to have a good meal."
Lin Guixiang nodded her head.
The two acted as if they had really forgotten the matter, enjoying their meal immensely.
After dinner, Mu Baicheng escorted Lin Guixiang to her doorstep.
Lin Guixiang smiled, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
Normally, Mu Baicheng would have been pleased, but not today. Old Lady Mu was still in the hospital, and he needed to go back and check on her.
Otherwise, Old Lady Mu would definitely complain about not having seen him for the whole day.
As a son, even when in a relationship, one cannot ignore the feelings of one’s mother.
"I’ll come another time for tea, it’s getting late, I need to head back."
"Okay." Lin Guixiang nodded slightly.
Just then, Mu Baicheng seemed to remember something, "I’ll come in and greet Xiao Wu."
Since he was here, not greeting Lin Wu seemed somewhat impolite.
Mu Baicheng was usually spot-on in assessing people.
He always felt Lin Wu was not like a simple high school student.
She had a very special demeanor.
Even standing in front of her, Mu Baicheng felt a sense of oppression.
Lin Guixiang said, "Xiao Wu has also gone out to watch a movie with friends today; she’s not at home now." frёeweɓηovel_coɱ
Mu Baicheng nodded, "Then okay, I’m heading back."
"Mmm." Lin Guixiang instructed him, "Drive safely on your way."
"Alright."
When Mu Baicheng returned to the hospital, Old Lady Mu had already fallen asleep.
