Before they knew it, it was the end of the month, and the two were called back to Chen Guanglin's place for dinner.
Chen Guanglin and Wang Xiaoxia traveled across most of China in less than a month, only returning to celebrate with Chen Mo on the day she achieved her results.
Chen Mo lived up to expectations, achieving an exceptional English score of 662, higher than her scores in the first and second mock exams.
She scored only fourteen points lower than her sister-in-law's college entrance exam score that year.
Compared to his brother...
Chen Lu didn't think about it anymore. As long as he was happy, that was all that mattered. College entrance exam scores were irrelevant.
Coming to my senses, I watched the numbers on the elevator screen rise one floor at a time. Then, turning my head, I saw Liang Zhirou with her head down, her hands repeatedly kneading each other.
"You've been to my house so many times, why are you suddenly getting nervous again?"
He asked curiously.
Liang Zhirou timidly raised her head and met his gaze, "Your aunt and uncle don't know about our engagement, right? Will they object...?"
People are prone to this mindset when they encounter incredible good things. The stronger the sense of happiness, the more likely they are to become anxious and worry about things that are not real.
Speaking of which, ever since Chen Lu proposed to her, she often dreams that she wakes up one day and suddenly finds that the proposal and even being with Chen Lu were just a dream, and then she wakes up in fright.
It wasn't until much time had passed, just these last few days, that I finally felt completely at ease.
So even though Wang Xiaoxia had always been very good to her, she was still unsure of herself when it came to this situation.
Chen Lu listened attentively, then couldn't help but snort, thinking to himself that this silly fool was worrying for nothing all day long.
Silly frog, you really have no idea what that "get-out-of-jail-free card" my mom gave me on my birthday was for.
disagree?
Do you believe it or not, this elderly couple is already planning to stay home and take care of their grandson after this trip?
Thinking this to himself, he certainly didn't dare reveal Wang Xiaoxia's true thoughts, but just said with a wicked smile, "You can ask them yourself later."
Liang Zhirou pursed her lips and leaned against the corner without saying anything more.
Soon, the elevator stopped at the corresponding floor, and the two stepped out side by side, then stopped in front of their home.
"Remember to call me 'Mom' when you go in," Chen Lu whispered deliberately in her ear.
"Huh?" Liang Zhirou, who was taking a deep breath, suddenly froze. "We're not married yet, isn't that inappropriate..."
"How stupid! Don't you even know what it means to cook something that's already been made?"
Chen Lu said in a serious tone, "We're just waiting to get our marriage certificate now. It doesn't matter if we call her 'Mom' sooner or later. Trust me, when we meet, just call her 'Mom.' My mom is shy, she'll definitely accept you as her daughter-in-law."
Seeing Liang Zhirou deep in thought, Chen Lu bit his lip to suppress a laugh before reaching out to knock on the door.
Wang Xiaoxia opened the door.
The moment she saw the two of them, her lips curled into a smile, and her gaze toward Liang Zhirou was several times more affectionate than before.
"Mom!" Chen Lu called out.
"Hey, come in quickly."
Chen Lu pulled Liang Zhirou's hand into the entrance hall, then squeezed it hard and raised his chin towards Wang Xiaoxia standing next to him, signaling her to shout along.
Liang Zhirou bit her lip and turned to look at her future mother-in-law.
Then Wang Xiaoxia saw her mouth opening and closing repeatedly until her face turned red, but she still couldn't utter a single word.
?
What's wrong with this silly girl?
"Is something the matter, Zhirou?" Wang Xiaoxia asked curiously, noticing her expression. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"No, it's nothing!"
Liang Zhirou quickly waved her hand and stood uneasily next to Chen Lu, waiting for him to change his shoes.
Chen Guanglin, who had been sitting on the sofa the whole time, watched silently for a while before turning his attention back to the television to continue watching Chen Mo play the Elden Ring.
Thanks to Chen Mo's tip-off, Chen Lu and Wang Xiaoxia already knew about Chen Lu's proposal. It was just a pity that their sweetheart guessed the wrong location for the proposal and couldn't record the scene.
Based on the available information, it's not hard to guess what Liang Zhirou was trying to do by stammering earlier.
All I can say is that Chen Lu is a really wicked little brat.
The girl accepted your proposal, she's practically your wife now, and you still tease her every day.
Chen Guanglin suddenly grinned.
If he had acted like this towards Wang Xiaoxia when he was younger, he would have been thoroughly punished by her.
"Auntie, are you not coming back until the afternoon?"
After sitting down, Liang Zhirou asked curiously.
Wang Xiaoxia handed each of them a slice of watermelon, saying, "Yes, let me show you the photos Auntie took recently."
"I don't want it cut into pieces, I want to eat it with a spoon," Chen Lu muttered from the side.
"No way, there's an uncut watermelon in the kitchen, go cut it yourself."
Wang Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him, laid out all the developed photos on the coffee table, and pulled her future daughter-in-law to look at them together.
After bringing half a watermelon back from the kitchen, Chen Lu didn't disturb the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's relationship any further. Instead, he sat quietly beside them and listened to their conversation.
Then look at the photos on the table: Potala Palace, Erhai Lake, Forbidden City...
These old folks really travel all over the country? What a forgetful couple!
"When you have time, let Xiaolu take you to play. There are many young girls wearing Hanfu over there. Auntie thinks you would look better than them in it."
Liang Zhirou nodded obediently, "Okay."
The two chatted and laughed, and Wang Xiaoxia was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
If Chen Guanglin hadn't objected, she really wanted to ask the two of them when they planned to get married.
I still remember when Liang Zhirou first came to our house, her bangs were still so long, and she sat on the sofa with her head down, fidgeting with her fingers, not daring to say a word.
She's still so sensible, but much cuter than before.
