Mo Chuxi’s deep, magnetic voice echoed ethereally.
Yan Xinxin turned around abruptly and saw that elegant and captivating face. Dressed entirely in black, Mo Chuxi’s noble and aloof demeanor instantly rendered Yan Zhirou and Ye Lirong, the mother-daughter pair, utterly stunned!
They couldn’t bear to face these two shocking words!
Yan Xinxin came to get the household registration book in order to marry Young Master Mo?!
This... how was this possible?!
"Young Master Mo! It’s Young Master Mo!"
The moment the seven aunts and eight uncles inside caught sight of the handsome and distinguished Mo Chuxi, a whole crowd burst out excitedly to gawk!
"It really is Young Master Mo!"
"He looks so good! Even better than the last time we saw him!"
"Xinxin truly has skills! She managed to get involved with Young Master Mo!"
A few older women, each more sycophantic than the last, showered exaggerated praises.
But Yan Xinxin hadn’t forgotten—standing before her were these very people, all of whom had insulted her, belittled her, looked down on her, and had even outright called Xi a burden. They’d never truly acknowledged the child as part of the family.
"Ah Li, invite Young Master Mo and Xinxin inside to sit! How could you let them stand at the door?"
The eldest aunt quickly seized the opportunity to curry favor.
"Young Master Mo, I’m Xinxin’s eldest aunt. I’ve watched her grow up since she was a child! I’ve always doted on her!"
"That’s right, that’s right!"
The second aunt, standing nearby, quickly chimed in.
"Young Master Mo, I’m Xinxin’s second aunt! From her childhood to now, we’ve always treated Xinxin like our own precious daughter!"
"Exactly! We’ve always adored Xinxin! We’re genuinely happy for her to be with someone like Young Master Mo!"
"It’s more like you’re feeling angry, jealous, irritated, and dissatisfied, isn’t it?"
After they all finished their relentless flattery, Yan Xinxin finally opened her lips slowly and deliberately.
Hearing this, the seven aunts and eight uncles’ smiles immediately froze awkwardly in place.
"From childhood to now, the person you’ve loved, protected, and treasured the most has never been me—it’s your little Rou. New clothes never had a place for me, nor did toys or snacks. For gatherings , there was never any spot reserved for me either."
Yan Xinxin spoke plainly, letting out a sarcastic laugh.
"Someone like me has never truly counted as family in your hearts, so what’s the point of calling me your treasure?"
She chuckled lightly.
"In this world, there’s only one person who truly considers me their treasure, and that’s my father."
As her words landed, the women in front of her froze in embarrassment, utterly taken aback that Yan Xinxin dared to call them out without holding back!
But upon hearing these words, Mo Chuxi felt his heartbeat tighten slightly, a faint pang accompanying it.
He reached out and took Yan Xinxin’s hand, fixing his gaze tenderly upon her.
"Yan Xinxin, from now on, you will not only have your father’s love. You will have mine as well."
His promise resonated clearly in everyone’s ears.
Yan Zhirou’s face instantly turned dark. Her heart swelled painfully with jealousy and envy, almost causing her to explode right on the spot!
What the hell was so good about Yan Xinxin anyway?!
How could Mo Chuxi protect her to this extent?! How could he even want to marry this woman who came with baggage?!
"Stop wasting time. Go get the household registration book for Xinxin."
Mo Chuxi coldly commanded Ye Lirong.
Ye Lirong didn’t dare disobey, though her heart was still filled with doubts.
"I-I’ll go right now. Young Master Mo, please wait a moment."
Her tone had become significantly more accommodating.
"Xinxin, come with your mom to get the household registration book."
Yan Xinxin glanced up at Mo Chuxi, then released his hand and followed Ye Lirong into the house.
Once Yan Xinxin had stepped away, Yan Zhirou immediately sidled up to Mo Chuxi.
"Young Master Mo, are you really going to marry Yan Xinxin? She’s an unmarried mother, and she’s had many boyfriends in the past. How could a woman like her be worthy of you? How could she possibly be qualified to become the young madam of the most prestigious family in Ancheng?"
