"Hanhan, when you played chess with Grandpa today, did he say anything strange to you?"
Ji Muhan raised an eyebrow, amused. "What kind of things do you think he'll say to me?"
Mo Xiaoqing's expression was solemn, and coupled with her incredibly beautiful baby face, there was an inexplicable sense of incongruity about this overly mature expression...
“I know Grandpa better than you do. He’s the kind of person who won’t do anything without a reason. The fact that he’s keeping you here today means he definitely has something to say to you!”
Ji Muhan couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing her face flush red with anxiety, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, reach out and gently pinch her little nose. His gaze was tender and weary, as if he wanted to drown her in his eyes.
He chuckled. "In your opinion, is that the kind of person your grandfather was...?"
Mo Xiaoqing awkwardly touched her neck, "..."
She hesitated for a moment, then changed her words somewhat embarrassedly, "It's not entirely like that. Although my family members may seem difficult to get along with to outsiders, they are actually very good to me!"
But it is precisely because they treat her so well that they might have slightly higher expectations for their future husbands!
Ji Muhan nodded in deep understanding.
really!
“This… I knew it a long time ago. Your brother had a lot of opinions about me from the beginning. If I were to back down so easily,” Ji Muhan leaned down and looked at her very seriously.
"We two would never be together like this anymore!"
Not to mention the others...
Mo Xiaoqing blinked her big, beautiful eyes, which were so expressive and charming.
"Since Grandpa and the others haven't said anything, why are you beating around the bush and refusing to tell me?"
Ji Muhan pressed her temples helplessly, thought for a moment, and then smiled at him with a hint of helplessness.
"Then why are you so fixated on this issue?"
"Because it's you!" Mo Xiaoqing answered immediately without thinking.
It's because of him... that I'm so anxious and worried that my family will have a bad impression of him...
It's because of him... that they're so eager to know if their family will approve of their relationship...
Her soft, sweet voice was as pleasant as ever, as gentle and sweet as a glutinous rice ball from the Jiangnan region—once you taste it, you can't stop...
Ji Muhan felt a strange heat rising to the tips of his ears, and even the air he breathed seemed to grow hotter, making his heart race uncontrollably. His gaze was fixed intently on her pink lips as she opened and closed her mouth…
"Hanhan, are you sure you don't want to tell me?"
Mo Xiaoqing opened her big eyes and looked up at him.
Ji Muhan was pulled back to his senses by her words. Perhaps because of... the images that had just flashed through his mind, he was unusually hesitant to meet her gaze, and a blush crept up his ears...
He suppressed the flutter in his heart, paused for a moment, and habitually reached out to gently stroke her hair. "Baby, your family is doing well, they all love you very much!"
His words seemed completely irrelevant, but Mo Xiaoqing knew that Ji Muhan's words had a hidden meaning!
She didn't know what her grandfather had said to her, but she knew that Hanhan wasn't the kind of person who would hold a grudge against her grandfather for such a thing!
Mo Xiaoqing has always been a clever girl who is particularly good at reading people's expressions, so... what Hanhan said already gave her the answer she wanted...
She naturally opened her arms and hugged Ji Muhan's waist. "Of course. I told you a long time ago that everyone in my family has always doted on me, coaxed me, and indulged me. Even when I throw a little tantrum or act out, they still let me have my way."
Ji Muhan smiled and said, "So, with such a good family, why do you still have to worry?"
"But... Dad didn't like my brother joining that kind of military unit. These things have always been a knot in Dad's heart. I'm really worried. What should I do if he... objects?"
Ji Muhan's gaze softened further, and she gently rested her chin on Mo Xiaoqing's forehead, feeling her warmth. The last trace of unease in her heart disappeared.
"Does Momo not believe me?"
"You have to believe that even if your parents really object, it's for your own good that we're together!"
Mo Xiaoqing's big, bright eyes darted around. "Hanhan, what if my family doesn't agree? How about we elope?"
Ji Muhan found it amusing and repeated, "Planning to elope?"
Before Mo Zhinian even stepped into Mo Xiaoqing's room, he heard this sentence and almost slipped and fell.
"..." That's really something, damn it!
Mo Zhinian, who usually had a good temper, now had a face as black as ink.
"Let go! You have some nerve! You actually dared to take advantage of Momo's youth and naivety to try and elope with her!"
"?"
"Elope?" Mo Xiaoqing was taken aback.
Mo Xiaoqing's reflexive repetition of these two words was interpreted by Mo Zhinian as a sign of guilt!
However, what angered him even more was the position the two of them were in at that moment!
I knew they were dating before, but the impact of seeing my little sister hugging him so intimately and naturally was still quite strong!
