Ms. Xiao's eyes were full of smiles. After enjoying a good meal, everyone went home.
With his daughter's help, Mr. Chu had more time, so he wasn't so busy that he had to work overtime or go to work very early. Therefore, he returned to live in his old house a few years ago.
When Ms. Xiao saw Ye Muheng and Wan Ge walking together, she guessed that the two of them might already be living together, but since her daughter had already made up her mind, she didn't want to say anything more.
All I could do was wave goodbye to them with a smile.
During the meal, Ms. Xiao discussed it with Ye Muheng, who was eager to get engaged to Wan Ge as soon as possible.
Ms. Xiao wanted them to reconsider, but Mr. Chu saw right through them.
It wasn't just Ye Muheng who wanted to get engaged quickly; his daughter also shared this idea.
So Mr. Chu replied, "Since you want to get engaged, let's find a time for our two families to have a meal together."
It means that both sets of parents will have a meal together before deciding on the engagement.
Ye Muheng was naturally very happy to agree and nodded in agreement on the spot.
His parents never stopped him from doing what he wanted to do; they only supported him. Moreover, the woman he liked now was the best daughter-in-law in his parents' eyes. Ye Muheng was certain that his parents liked Wan Ge very much.
So when his mother found out he was staying at Wange's house with him, she sent him a very happy emoji.
While waiting for them to be together, his mother also reminded him that he must not let Wan Ge down and must treat her well.
…
When Ye Muheng returned to Wan Ge's house, he sent a message to his parents.
Madam Ye quickly reassured Ye Muheng that she would contact Wan Ge's mother and arrange a time to meet, putting Ye Muheng at ease.
Ye Muheng naturally trusted his mother and followed her arrangements, since his mother knew better than him how to handle these matters.
…
In less than half a month, Madam Ye prepared very generous gifts and brought her husband and son to the Chu family.
Since it's better to stay at home than to go out to a restaurant, that's why we ended up at the Chu family's house.
Since it had already been arranged, Ms. Xiao wasn't surprised. Her husband, daughter, and grandfather were already waiting at home.
Upon seeing them arrive, he quickly invited them into his home.
…
Ms. Xiao and Mrs. Ye were very good friends, but she never expected to become in-laws. Her feelings were quite complicated, but mostly on the positive side.
Actually, Ms. Xiao thought about it later and realized that no matter what Ye Muheng was like, she and Mrs. Ye had been friends for decades and she knew her character very well.
Rather than marrying her daughter off to a complete stranger, marrying Ye Muheng seemed like a good alternative—at least her mother-in-law would be reliable. She trusted that her good friend would never mistreat her daughter.
There would be no situation where her daughter would be bullied, and because of their long-standing relationship, Mrs. Ye would take into account the relationship between the two families and therefore love her daughter even more.
Now that they are in love again, nothing could be better.
After all the relevant matters were discussed, both sets of parents wisely allowed the two children to visit each other and spend more time together.
Regarding the wedding date, Mrs. Ye completely listened to Ms. Xiao. Both men were also the most obedient to their wives, so neither of them had any objections.
Ms. Xiao glanced at the two people walking in the garden: "I'll ask them for their opinion and see what they have to say."
“Alright, of course the child’s opinion is the most important thing when it comes to marriage.” Mrs. Ye agreed.
So after they returned, the two discussed their engagement again.
Ye Muheng naturally thought the sooner the better, while Wan Ge had no objections at all. However, sensing the thoughts of those around her, she told her mother that the sooner the better.
So they skipped the engagement and went straight to setting a wedding date.
…
…
Four days before their wedding, Mr. Chu noticed that only his daughter was in the office and asked with some confusion, "Where's Xiaoheng? Is she busy with wedding preparations? Isn't everything ready?"
"He was invited by the teacher to come to the school to give a lecture and guide the students, so he won't be coming today."
"So that's how it is. It's perfectly normal for someone as talented as Xiaoheng to want his guidance."
Wan Ge nodded.
Ms. Xiao spoke up at this moment: "I feel like Xiaoheng has been drawing less often since he started dating you. I've noticed he's been reading some business-related books lately. Is he trying to help you?"
Moreover, he used to be so indifferent to everyone, even his own mother, when he started painting. But things are different now. Last time, after she subconsciously called out to him, he actually responded.
"Yes, he did gradually help me with some small things. He's so smart, and his talent isn't just in painting."
"That's good too. Although Xiaoheng doesn't love drawing as much as he did at the beginning, every painting he creates now is still exceptionally good."
I saw his sunset painting here the other day, and I felt it was even more beautiful than his previous works.
Although he reduced the amount of drawing, the quality did not decline. After all, he is still a person, not a drawing machine. He has his own emotions and his own life, which makes him more like a flesh-and-blood human being.
His exquisite paintings have surpassed those of many masters, and even if he were to retire from painting now, his works would be enough to be remembered for generations.
“Yes, after he started dating, he seems more like a person with emotions, not as cold as he was when he was a child.” Mr. Chu also agreed with what his wife said.
