After seeing Huo Nanchu off, Yue Yitang could no longer suppress her anxiety.
She immediately asked her mother, "Mom, what if Huo Nanchu misunderstands what you just said?" Her tone was full of worry.
However, the mother-in-law remained unusually calm, smiling slightly as she said, "Don't worry, he can't escape."
Hearing this, Yue Yitang felt a great weight lifted from her heart, but a trace of doubt remained.
"Mom, what do you mean by that?"
As she spoke, she sat down next to her mother.
The mother-in-law gently patted her daughter's hand and explained earnestly, "Let me tell you, that Huo boy has feelings for you. I said that just now to make him feel a little pressured. Believe me or not, he'll definitely confess his feelings to you in less than three days."
As she spoke, my mother-in-law held up three fingers to indicate three days.
Upon hearing this, Yue Yitang's face lit up with ecstatic joy, and she asked incredulously, "Really? But how come I didn't notice anything?"
As she spoke, she grabbed Yue Mu's arm tightly.
My mother-in-law smiled confidently and comforted me, "I've been through this before, and I understand these things better than you do. Just relax!"
However, she suddenly changed the subject, her expression turning serious, and continued, "But if he still doesn't make any move after this period, then you shouldn't persist. Because it means he might not be a responsible person. We don't need to waste our time on him."
"But...Mom, won't this put too much pressure on him?" Yue Yitang asked hesitantly, her face showing difficulty.
The mother-in-law, however, remained calm and answered slowly, "How could I be the kind of person who would do such a thing? I could tell that Huo Nanchu was interested in you, which is why I said that."
After hearing this, Yue Yitang still felt uneasy, but she didn't say anything more.
She secretly thought that if three days passed and Huo Nanchu still didn't make a move, she would explain to him that her mother had misheard and that this was actually a potential match for her cousin.
Although that was her plan, she still hoped that Huo Nanchu would confess his feelings to her. In fact, if she wasn't afraid of being rejected and then having no chance, she would have confessed first.
Meanwhile, Huo Nanchu, back home, was in a daze.
His family members immediately noticed that he seemed to be troubled by something and came forward to ask him about it with concern.
However, Huo Nanchu simply explained that he was a little tired and needed to rest.
Then he didn't even come out for dinner, and went back to his room alone and didn't come out.
Although his family was worried about his health, they didn't bother him. They just instructed the kitchen to prepare some food so he could eat whenever he was hungry.
Lying in bed, Huo Nanchu kept pondering what kind of feelings he truly had for Yue Yitang.
All night, Huo Nanchu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
However, he still went to work as usual the next day.
Huo Shan and Zhao Qiuying saw that Huo Nanchu was going to work as usual, so they figured he must have rested well.
Zhao Qiuying also asked Huo Shan to go to the company to help the boss when he had nothing to do, otherwise the boss would be exhausted.
Huo Shan, of course, was also concerned about his son's health, so he readily agreed.
Once he gets into work mode, Huo Nanchu becomes completely absorbed in it, only taking time out of his spare time to think about things related to Yue Yitang.
Busy times always fly by, and before you know it, it's time to get off work.
Of all those I've known since childhood and grown up with, only Zhou Haoran is truly trustworthy now.
Therefore, he called Zhou Haoran and invited him out for a few drinks, but was politely declined because his wife didn't like the smell of alcohol, but he could choose to drink soft drinks with him.
Therefore, their gathering place could only be a restaurant, not a karaoke bar.
Huo Nanchu had no time to consider which restaurant to choose. He simply instructed his assistant to pick a decent one and send him the address before driving directly to his destination.
...
"Judging from your tone, what do you need me for?"
"I just want to ask you, why did you suddenly decide to get married? Don't tell me it's because of the child. I know in my heart that if you didn't have any feelings for your sister-in-law, you would never have entered into marriage."
"You have someone you like? Who is it? Do I know them?" Zhou Haoran asked, looking surprised.
"I'm the one asking you questions, not the other way around."
Zhou Haoran naturally brought up the topic of his wife, saying, "I still have some impression of Xiao Ran."
I remember when I was in school, I mentioned to you that a girl from a neighboring school often came to my school to play.
She was full of enthusiasm and energy, unlike us medical students who were exhausted and depressed.
Later, when I learned from Ningning that she had actually been secretly in love with me all along, I was actually quite happy.
Of course, I don't deny that without the child factor, we probably wouldn't have had much interaction.
Perhaps it was all fate!
However, once you get to know Xiao Ran, you'll understand that she's a kind, cheerful, positive, and very independent girl.
These qualities are all very important to me.
You know the nature of my job; it means I'm destined not to be able to take care of my family wholeheartedly.
The reason Sangsang and I broke up was because she was too dependent on others for care, while I didn't have enough time to spend with her.
"Then you and I are still different..." Huo Nanchu muttered softly, seemingly talking to himself.
Although the voice wasn't loud, Zhou Haoran, who was standing nearby, still heard it and looked at Huo Nanchu thoughtfully.
Then he gave a sly smile: "When you see that girl, you want to show your best side. When you're alone with her, you feel incredibly nervous. And whenever you have a spare moment, her image will unconsciously pop into your mind..."
Without a doubt, you've most likely fallen for her! In that case, why not give it a try?
It might lead to a beautiful marriage; otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, you might regret it for the rest of your life.
Zhou Haoran's words left Huo Nanchu stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what was going on and nodded vigorously to show that he understood.
After a simple meal, the gathering ended, and everyone went their separate ways.
