When Yue Yitang returned home, his mother-in-law happened to be in the living room.
When the mother-in-law saw her daughter looking dejected when she went out, but beaming when she returned home, she immediately knew it must be related to that boy from the Huo family, but she pretended not to see it.
Upon seeing her mother-in-law, Yue Yitang couldn't help but want to appear even happier. However, seeing that her mother-in-law didn't ask her a single question, she finally couldn't contain her joy and wanted to share the good news with her mother-in-law.
"Mom..." Yue Yitang asked softly, her face full of shyness.
"Hmm," the mother-in-law replied indifferently, her eyes never leaving the television screen, seemingly unconcerned about her daughter's actions.
"Mom," Yue Yitang called softly again.
However, the mother-in-law pretended to be watching TV, only giving a casual reply without turning her head to look at Yue Yitang.
"Mom!" This time, Yue Yitang simply turned off the TV and then, like a child, affectionately took her mother-in-law's arm.
"Let's talk this out, don't make a scene." The mother-in-law gently pulled her hand away from her daughter's.
"I confessed my feelings to Huo Nanchu today!" Yue Yitang said, her face flushed with a mixture of shyness and excitement.
"What? What did you say?" My mother-in-law was stunned, her eyes wide open, as if she had heard something unbelievable. She simply couldn't believe what she had just heard.
"I confessed my feelings to him," Yue Yitang said softly, but her tone was firm.
"What! You actually confessed your feelings?" The mother-in-law looked incredulous. She never expected that Yue Yitang would be the one to take this step first.
She couldn't help but wonder to herself: should she praise her daughter for being brave and fearless, or should she scold her for being too reckless and impulsive?
Yue Yitang seemed to see through her mother's thoughts, smiled slightly, and repeated, "Yes, Mom, I did confess my feelings."
The mother-in-law shook her head helplessly, sighed, and said, "I really don't know whether to admire your courage or scold you for acting rashly."
She simply couldn't imagine that her usually introverted and shy daughter would express her feelings so boldly.
However, Yue Yitang suddenly became mysterious, pausing deliberately for a moment before slowly saying, "But... he didn't agree immediately." After saying that, she winked mischievously.
"Stop trying to fool me. With your current state, who would believe you didn't succeed?" The mother-in-law saw through her daughter's little trick at a glance and exposed it without any mercy.
Upon seeing this, Yue Yitang immediately put on a fawning smile and said ingratiatingly, "Hehe, Mom knows me best! Actually, he thinks that this kind of thing should be done by the man, as it doesn't seem formal enough. He said he'll find a suitable opportunity in a few days to formally confess his feelings to me."
Hearing this, a relieved smile finally appeared on the mother-in-law's face. She nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, that's more like it. This young man is quite polite and knows how to handle emotional issues."
Then, Yue Yitang excitedly told her mother-in-law that Huo Nanchu had invited her to travel to the grasslands together the day after tomorrow.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation; she was clearly looking forward to the date.
My mother-in-law was a very intelligent woman, and she immediately sensed that something was amiss.
The Huo family's young master wouldn't invite Yue Yitang out for fun without a reason. It seems he originally intended to use this opportunity to confess his feelings to Yue Yitang, but she ruined it.
This silly girl was still standing there, grinning foolishly, completely unaware that she had missed the opportunity for the other person to confess first.
However, her mother-in-law did not bring it up, after all, this might be an unexpected surprise for Yue Yitang, and she didn't want to ruin this beautiful moment.
At this moment, her mother-in-law's goodwill towards Huo Nanchu increased again, and she secretly rejoiced that her judgment was indeed correct.
I realize that giving myself three days was too little time; it wasn't enough to prepare properly.
Now it seems that Huo Nanchu was more romantic, as he actually chose a slightly more distant place as the location for his confession.
Looking at her daughter's silly grin, the mother-in-law couldn't help but sigh: "Fools are always lucky! Either they don't look for a partner at all, or when they do, they find the best one."
"Mom, let's go shopping together tomorrow. I don't have any new clothes to wear."
"Okay, I'll definitely dress my precious daughter up beautifully," the mother-in-law replied happily.
"When am I not beautiful?" Yue Yitang gently stroked her face, gesturing confidently.
"Yes, beautiful. My daughter is the most beautiful," my mother-in-law replied with a smile.
After saying that, the mother and daughter couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, my mother-in-law suddenly said, "Our family is counting on you to carry on the family line. Your older brother is probably going to be a bachelor for life. He's almost forty and all he knows is work, work, work. He doesn't even know how to find a girlfriend. Or even a boyfriend would be fine!"
"Mom, I never expected you to be so modern, even thinking about boyfriends? If my older brother really brought one home, wouldn't you break his legs? Besides, my older brother is only thirty-seven, not forty."
“If I could bring him back, I would be overjoyed. Why would I break his leg?”
"You're just saying that; you'll probably be worried sick when the time comes," Yue Yitang said with an expression that seemed to see right through her.
...
Meanwhile, Huo Nanchu was still in a very good mood after returning to the company.
He was initially worried about what would happen if his confession failed.
Unexpectedly, I reaped a reward, and now I can finally put my mind at ease.
"Assistant Zhang, go tell the finance department that your bonus will be tripled this month!" Huo Nanchu said to Zhang Le with a smile.
Although his tone was no different from usual, for some reason, it gave the impression that he was very happy at that moment.
“Okay, Mr. Huo! Thank you, Mr. Huo!” Zhang Le replied excitedly.
"Okay, you'll work overtime for the next two days, and then you'll have three days off starting from the afternoon of the day after tomorrow," Huo Nanchu continued to instruct.
"Yes, President!" Zhang Le nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.
After Huo Nanchu entered the office, Zhang Le began to ponder why he had suddenly received triple the bonus.
He noticed that the president and Miss Yue returned with smiles on their faces after going out, and he thought that his bonus might be because Miss Yue had come in.
Thinking of this, Zhang Le secretly made up his mind that he must try his best to please this future president's wife in the future.
The future CEO's wife is happy, and he gets rich.
Before long, Zhang Le returned to his normal work.
Meanwhile, Huo Nanchu was also working hard.
In order to squeeze out a three-day holiday, he had to finish all the work at hand.
Time passed slowly, and it wasn't until 10 o'clock that Huo Nanchu and Zhang Le left the company together.
Huo Nanchu went to an apartment closer to the company, where he has been resting for the past few days.
