As night fell and the city lights came on, the family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner around the dining table, then settled comfortably on the living room sofa for a chat.
Everyone shared interesting anecdotes from their recent lives, sometimes filled with laughter, sometimes with deep emotions.
Before we knew it, time had slipped away, and the clock struck past nine o'clock. The night was getting deep, and it was time to rest.
At this moment, Wang Wanru stood up and smiled at Mo Yuan and Lin Xue, saying, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Xue, your dad and I have always lived in the biggest and most spacious bedroom in our house. You two can stay there tonight." However, Mo Yuan quickly waved his hand, sincerely refusing, "Mom, how can we do that? We can't stay in your and Dad's room! Just find us any room, even if it's a little small. If there really isn't a suitable room, we can just stay at a guesthouse for the night. We saw one while we were shopping today; it's not too far from here, just a short walk away."
Before Mo Yuan could finish speaking, Wang Wanru immediately shook her head and said, "Oh dear, that won't do! If we let you stay in a guesthouse, people will laugh at us!"
Even if you're rich, you can't just spend money like this!
It turned out that Wang Wanru had inquired about Mo Yuan's situation after marriage during the meal.
When she learned from Lin Xue that since their marriage, Mo Yuan had been wholeheartedly thinking about how to improve the family's financial situation so that Lin Xue could live a happy and stable life, she couldn't help but feel very gratified.
Lin Xue also told them that all the money used to improve their lives was earned little by little by Mo Yuan through his own hard work and wisdom.
Although Wang Wanru believed Lin Xue's words without a doubt, she still found it hard to believe. She never expected that this young man from the countryside would be so quick-witted!
However, this also made them accept the reality that Mo Yuan didn't seem to be short of money.
This was only 1,000 yuan that Mo Yuan carried. Although it was nothing to him, it was definitely a huge sum of money to others!
If others knew that he possessed a staggering one million US dollars, their jaws would likely drop in utter shock.
Mo Yuan knew this matter concerned his family's safety, so he kept it a secret, even from Lin Xue. After all, if the news leaked, it would inevitably attract the covetousness and harassment of some unscrupulous individuals. Although Mo Yuan himself wasn't afraid of being bothered, he couldn't always be on high alert. After much deliberation, Mo Yuan ultimately decided that keeping the matter buried deep in his heart for the time being was the most prudent course of action!
At this moment, Wang Wanru and Mo Yuan were engaged in a fierce argument, neither willing to give in.
Wang Wanru insisted that they stay in the largest bedroom in the house, but Mo Yuan resolutely refused to accept this kindness, and no matter how Wang Wanru tried to persuade him, it was to no avail.
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, Lin Xue stepped forward to break the deadlock: "You two stop arguing. Why don't you stay in my old room? The bed should still be there, right? We can tidy it up a bit and squeeze in together!"
However, upon hearing this, Wang Wanrou immediately shook her head and refused, saying, "Oh, of course the bed is still there, but that's where you lived when you were little. Now that the two of you are sleeping together, won't it be too crowded...?"
Mo Yuan knew perfectly well that Wang Wanrou was simply worried about the cramped space. However, he immediately said without hesitation that it didn't matter, adding, "The weather is getting cooler now, so it'll actually be warmer if we're all huddled together!" Seeing Mo Yuan's firm stance, Wang Wanrou didn't say anything more and turned to help tidy up the room.
When they finally arrived at the room where Lin Xue used to live, Lin Xue's eyes lit up, and a feeling of warmth and familiarity welled up in her heart. After all, this place held many years of memories and experiences of her growth.
Upon entering the room, Lin Xue eagerly began to caress everything, as if trying to rediscover every familiar corner. She carefully picked up the toys that had once been her companions, her eyes sparkling with joy, and excitedly showed them to Mo Yuan, recounting the story behind each toy in detail. Next, Lin Xue pulled out some treasured old photographs, pointing to herself in the pictures and excitedly telling Mo Yuan about her childhood.
Mo Yuan listened with great interest to Lin Xue's story, his gaze occasionally falling on the photos. In the photos, Lin Xue appeared innocent and radiant with a bright smile; her adorable appearance was simply endearing.
Mo Yuan couldn't help but examine her closely, and exclaimed sincerely, "I must say, Lin Xue has been a beauty since she was little, and she's only gotten more beautiful with age. It's truly a blessing from fate that I was able to marry such a beautiful and charming wife like you!" Hearing her husband's praise, Lin Xue's face flushed with a shy blush.
At this moment, Wang Wanru had already quickly made the bed. However, she stood by the bed, looking slightly uneasy. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Isn't this... a bit too crowded? Xiaoxue used to live here alone, but now it's suddenly the two of you."
Seeing his mother-in-law's worry, Mo Yuan quickly smiled and comforted her, "Oh, Mom, don't worry! If it's really not working out, we can find a plank tomorrow and widen the bed. Just make do for tonight, we're not spoiled people, this is fine!"
