"Xiaoqiu, tell mom, are you really dating that Mr. Chen? You're not lying to mom, are you?" After entering the room, Xu Hanhe asked her daughter.
Xia Qiu was a little amused and said, "How could that be? Why would I lie to you about something like this?"
"Then why didn't you tell your family before?" Xu Hanhe still felt something was not right. Judging from the scene of so many matchmakers coming to their house a few days ago and Xiaoqiu being so impatient, he should have told her about this a long time ago.
"Didn't you think it was still unstable before? I thought I'd tell you when it's more stable." Xia Qiu casually made up an excuse, "I didn't know he came directly to me this time."
Xu Hanhe frowned and reluctantly accepted her statement.
"Alright, I won't pursue this for now. Let's just talk about the two of you." Xu Hanhe organized her words and said, "Xiaoqiu, that Mr. Chen is no ordinary person. We are just an ordinary family. You may think dating now is nothing, but what about the future? Dating and getting married are two different things. Are you really ready to spend your whole life with someone like this?"
Xu Hanhe didn't have any high expectations for her daughter. She didn't need her to be very successful or rich. She just wanted her to live a safe, healthy and happy life. And being with Mr. Chen, she was destined to be extraordinary.
Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She pulled Xu Hanhe's hand and said, "Mom, don't think so complicated. No one can predict what will happen in the future."
"Before being with him, I thought a lot about it. I felt like there was such a huge gap between us, like we were from two different worlds. But as time went on, I saw how sincere he was towards me, and I really did like him. So, why should I overthink it and add to my troubles?"
"This time, Brother Wen's experience has taught me a lot. It's wrong not to do something because you're afraid of the consequences."
"Mom, since I have chosen to be with him, no matter what the outcome is, I don't think I will regret it." Xia Qiu's tone was firm and confident, and the glow on her face made Xu Hanhe understand that her daughter was not a fragile flower that needed care, and she had the ability to face the wind and rain on her own.
In that case, she had no reason to object.
"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, mom won't stop you." Xu Hanhe said.
"Thank you, Mom." Xia Qiu smiled and hugged her.
The luckiest thing in her life is that she has open-minded parents, best friends, and now even the person she likes is by her side. She feels extremely happy and has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
The mother and daughter didn't chat for long before going out.
When they went out, they saw Xia's father and Chen Musheng having a very pleasant conversation.
Xu Hanhe: "..." What happened? He was bribed in just a short while?
She glared at her husband, whose face was wrinkled with laughter.
"Xiao Chen." Since she chose to support her daughter, Xu Hanhe still called her Xiao Chen and treated him as a junior.
"Auntie, please tell me." Chen Musheng immediately said seriously.
"I've talked to Xiaoqiu, and she said you two really like each other. In that case, Auntie doesn't object to you. However, Xiaoqiu is a simple and kind girl. You must, must not do anything to let her down. If one day your relationship changes, I also hope that you will cut your losses in time and not make each other more sad."
"I understand, Auntie." Chen Musheng nodded seriously. "I promise you, I will treat Xiaoqiu well."
"I came here with the permission of my elders. Besides being my first official visit to you, I also want you to agree to my engagement with Xiao Qiu."
got engaged?
Everyone in the Xia family widened their eyes, including Xia Qiu.
Xu Hanhe immediately looked at her daughter. What engagement? Why didn't you tell her just now?
I don’t know either. Xia Qiu was dumbfounded.
"Mom and Dad, don't listen to him." Xia Qiu pulled Chen Musheng and dragged him out of the door.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What engagement?" Xia Qiu scolded.
Chen Musheng looked serious and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm ready." He touched his trouser pocket and took out a small velvet box.
Before he even opened it, Xia Qiu's eyes widened and she grabbed his hand, "Take it back, take it back."
"Why?" Chen Musheng actually felt a little aggrieved.
He came this time with the mindset of failing to succeed or die, and he had everything ready, including this ring.
"It's too fast." Xia Qiu said helplessly, "We haven't really been dating for half a year. This is just the beginning. My parents are scared to death by you." She could see that her parents were already worried about her relationship. They would definitely not agree to such a rash and impulsive behavior.
"Okay." Chen Musheng thought about it and felt that he was a little impatient, so he could only take the ring back.
Xia Qiu looked at his somewhat depressed expression, and her heart softened. She said softly, "Let's wait until the right time." She still believed that they would have a good ending.
"Okay." After hearing this, Chen Musheng smiled.
The two walked back into the house and met the different looks of the family. Xia Qiu said calmly, "Mom and Dad, just pretend that he didn't say anything."
"It's still early. We're not in that much of a hurry."
Father Xia and Xu Hanhe finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had just found out that their daughter had a boyfriend. If she was planning to get engaged, they really couldn't accept such a speed.
"Xiao Chen, please sit down." Xu Hanhe invited Chen Musheng to sit down. "You must be hungry after such a long journey. Auntie will cook for you."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Chen Musheng thanked him obediently.
As the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she is. This statement is really true. After she felt relieved, during the meal, Xu Hanhe looked at Chen Musheng and chatted with him for a few more words. His conversation and demeanor made Xu Hanhe more and more satisfied, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger.
People like Chen Musheng have been through a lot, whether in business or elsewhere. It is easy for him to make others have a good impression of him. It just depends on whether he is willing to do it.
Xia Qiu was eating on the side, laughing secretly.
They had a very happy meal and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Because Xia Qiu did not hide from others when she brought Chen Musheng home, the news that the girl from the Xia family had a boyfriend quickly spread throughout the entire Luoshui Village. The first to wail were the matchmakers. Originally, many good families in the surrounding area wanted to marry Xia Qiu, and the matchmaking fees they promised them were also extremely generous. These matchmakers were secretly competing with each other to see who could make a good thing happen.
But now, Xia Qiu has a partner, and their matchmaking money has been wasted. No one has gained anything, and they can only sigh inwardly.
