After introducing herself, Mo Wan smiled and said, "The person next to me is my husband, Sun Hezhou. I think you already know him, so I won't introduce him any further."
Mrs. Mo continued, "We're all family, why are we being so polite?"
Mr. Mo looked approving.
"Yes, we're all family." Mo Wan smiled, but she was actually quite surprised. How long had it been? And yet, both of the family's stalwarts were actually on the side of the young man. As the daughter of the Mo family, Mo Wan could be said to understand her parents quite well. While the two elders seemed to get along well, those who truly understood them knew that was just a facade. They would only defend those they truly approved of.
At noon, everyone ate together at the Mo family's old house. The Mo family had a tradition that when the whole family came back to eat, the old lady of the Mo family and Mo Wan would cook. But this time, there was one more person, Luo Yu.
Watching Luo Yu's skillful actions of washing and cutting vegetables, Mo Wan, who was chopping meat, sighed. The wife her brother found was really a master of both housework and cooking. The three of them cooked their own specialties. The dining room was adjacent to the kitchen. As soon as the aroma wafted from the kitchen, the old man sitting in the dining room felt his stomach protest and shouted, "Old woman, how much longer will it take?"
"It's almost done. Why are you rushing it?" Old Mrs. Mo poked her head out of the kitchen and glared at Old Mr. Mo.
Mr. Mo didn't think much of it and continued grumpily, "I'm just anxious. I only had a small breakfast this morning, so how could I not be anxious? Ouch, why am I feeling a little dizzy? Oh no, I must be too hungry, so my blood pressure is a little low."
Sun Hezhou looked at his father-in-law helplessly. He thought his father-in-law was getting younger and younger recently. He even started imitating young people's acting skills in order to serve the food earlier. However, as a son-in-law, it seemed not good to expose his father-in-law.
As a son, Mo Han naturally ignored his increasingly childish father. He just finished reading the documents he brought with him, packed up all the documents, and prepared to eat.
Sun Minghao looked conflicted. He had originally wanted to talk to Luo Yu alone, but he didn't expect that his grandmother would actually drag Luo Yu to cook together.
After about five minutes, all the dishes were finally served.
There were seven dishes and one soup. Mrs. Mo made a four-happiness meatball, Mo Wan made a braised pork, and the rest of the dishes were made by Luo Yu alone. The main reason was that Luo Yu cooked very quickly. After Mrs. Mo and Mo Wan had finished one dish, Luo Yu had already finished the others.
Everyone sat together, chopping their chopsticks in a lively atmosphere. The Mo family didn't have any rules about not talking while eating or sleeping. Mr. Mo loved it most when the whole family sat together, happily eating and chatting. The more lively the better; that was the atmosphere of a family dinner.
"This sweet and sour fish is good. You can tell it's Luo's cooking as soon as you taste it." Although Grandpa Mo is also picky about food, he is only picky about the taste of the food. Unlike Mo Han, he is also picky about the ingredients.
Everyone at the table was picking out Luo Yu's dishes, while Mo Wan and Old Madam Mo's dishes were clearly left untouched after only a brief stir of their chopsticks. It was obvious, but Mo Wan and Old Madam Mo didn't seem to mind. After all, their dishes couldn't compare to Luo Yu's. Mo Wan had long heard that Luo Yu's cooking was good, and after trying it, it was more than good; it was simply astonishingly good.
The most surprising thing was that Mo Han actually ate the carrots Luo Yu had picked for him, and even ate the sweet and sour fish. Mo Wan's eyes widened. Had her brother's picky nature been cured? Or was it the power of love that made the impossible possible?
Seeing her son had such a big change, Mrs. Mo looked at Luo Yu with a softer look. She knew that this must be Luo Yu's credit.
"Luo Yu is too unfamiliar, so I'll just call you Xiao Yu?" After lunch, Mo Wan sat across from Luo Yu and couldn't help but chat with him. Seeing Luo Yu, who was about the same age as her son, Mo Wan was still a little uncomfortable, but she thought she would get used to it in the future.
"Okay." If he really ended up with Mo Han, then Mo Wan would be his older sister. Luo Yu naturally hoped that Mo Wan would accept him. However, judging by the situation today, Mo Wan probably wouldn't object to him and Mo Han being together.
"I heard you're studying international economics, so do you plan to help Mo Han manage the company in the future?" Since everyone in the family has acknowledged Luo Yu, then Luo Yu becoming his sister-in-law is also certain. In this case, Mo Wan has no scruples and asks directly. Of course, there is also some tentative meaning in this.
"No, Mo Han already has enough employees." Luo Yu implied that he did not plan to work for the Mo Group in the future. "Actually, I'm more interested in cooking. Maybe I want to open a restaurant of my own in the future." In fact, Luo Yu hadn't really thought about this at the beginning, but after the last mission challenge was over, this idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He wanted others to be able to taste dishes that make them happy.
"Open a restaurant, Luo, I support you. With your culinary skills, it would be a shame if you didn't open a restaurant. If you do, I'll come to support you every day." Old Man Mo was the first to jump in with agreement. Young people should have their own ideals. Is your major not suitable? Who says what you studied in college is what you have to do when you start working? As long as it's suitable and what you want, then it's fine.
"I think Xiaoyu should do whatever she likes. In the future, she still needs to do her work according to her own preferences." Although Mrs. Mo did not say it explicitly, she still supported Luo Yu's ideals.
Mo Wan was a little amused and helpless. She had just said a few words when the two elders came out to protect Luo Yu like their own child. She suddenly felt that her status in the family had dropped a lot. Could she still have fun?
Mo Han, standing by, held Luo Yu's hand and smiled at him, "As long as you like it." Loving someone shouldn't just mean protecting them; it should also mean giving them the support they desire. Overprotection will only cause your lover to lose their beautiful wings, unable to fly again.
For Mo Han, as long as Luo Yu likes it, he will support her even if she does nothing. He will also be very happy to raise Luo Yu until she is plump and white. Luo Yu is still a little thin now, so if she gets fatter, she will be more comfortable to hold.
With his lover's support, Luo Yu returned a brilliant smile. Although they didn't talk much, they were able to understand each other with just a simple sentence or even a glance. Luo Yu thought that this was the tacit understanding between the two of them, a kind of unspoken tacit understanding. The affectionate gaze and happy smiles of the two of them clearly blinded many people.
Hey, everyone's still here, and you're already showing off your affection. That's not a good idea, right? The most important thing is, there's a younger generation here!
Sun Minghao, the only junior, was practically irritated by Luo Yu and Mo Han. Was that gentle smile really his cold, devilish uncle? Was that happy smile his indifferent, good friend Luo Yu? Could these two be possessed by something?
Mo Wan looked at the happy couple opposite her and felt like she had been hit hard. In the past, she and Sun Hezhou had always shown affection in front of others, but now someone was showing affection in front of her, and the person was her own brother. Mo Wan couldn't be more depressed.
"These two young people are really..." Mrs. Mo said to Mr. Mo, "I think we should let them settle down first."
"Well, it's almost done. Just like that, notify my parents-in-law and let them get engaged first, and then get married after Luo graduates. In the past ten years, our Mo family hasn't had any big weddings, so this engagement ceremony must be lively. Don't let those other old men look down on us." Grandpa Mo acted decisively and arranged all the plans in a short time.
"Okay, let's do it. I'll check to see if there are any auspicious dates soon." Old Madam Mo shared the same idea as Old Man Mo: let the two settle down first and then take their time with the wedding. For large families like theirs, an engagement is almost the same as a marriage, and unless there are special circumstances, an engagement won't be easily called off. Besides, while Luo Yu was still young, Mo Han was ten years older, already twenty-eight. Heirs of other families would have children by this time.
What was going on? He'd only had a glass of after-dinner juice, so why was he already talking about his uncle and Luo Yu's engagement? Sun Minghao felt like his brain was bogged down, stuck. And weren't his grandparents being too hasty? How long had they known Luo Yu? And they were so eager to get them engaged?
Mo Wan and Sun Hezhou were also stunned. In the blink of an eye, the two old people had already made all the plans?
Mo Han, the person involved, clearly had a deeper smile on his face, while Luo Yu was clearly a bit confused. They were already discussing an engagement? His parents didn't know about him and Mo Han yet, and now Luo's mother was pregnant again, an elderly woman who couldn't be provoked. So Luo Yu quickly stopped the excited Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo.
"Isn't this engagement happening too fast?" He just rejected Mo Han's proposal yesterday, and today he gave in and got engaged. Looking at Mo Han's calmness and the smile that he couldn't hide no matter how hard he tried, Luo Yu knew that he was being tricked again.
"No, you and my brat have known each other for a long time, right?" asked Mr. Mo.
"More than four months." Luo Yu answered truthfully.
"That is, it's been almost half a year, and you also live together. You spend more time together than other lovers, so don't you know each other better? Or do you think that my brat is not doing well enough, which makes you dissatisfied?" Old Master Mo looked at Luo Yu, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
What Mr. Mo said was exactly what Mo Han wanted to ask, so he also stared at Luo Yu.
"No, he... is very good." Apart from being a little picky about food, a little bit of mysophobia, and a little bit domineering and black-bellied, Luo Yu felt that Mo Han was still a good person.
"Since there is no problem, then let's do it this way. Find a good day nearby and you two can get married first." Old Master Mo displayed his general-like demeanor and made the decision directly.
"But my parents don't know about this yet." Luo Yu said quickly.
"It's okay. I know this matter was a bit hasty. Don't worry, Luo boy. I will explain it to my in-laws in person when the time comes. This matter is settled." The old man did not give Luo Yu any chance to explain.
In fact, Mr. Mo knew what Luo Yu meant, but he didn't want to give Luo Yu a chance to refuse. It was rare to find a satisfactory candidate for a daughter-in-law, so of course the old man hoped to decide on it quickly to avoid any more trouble.
