“Sister-in-law, you really know how to comfort me.” Mo Li smiled sweetly.
“I’m just being honest with you.”
“My mom won’t let me get married,” Mo Li said suddenly.
Lu Manman looked at her.
“Actually, I’m not looking forward to it either. It’s good enough to have my parents and Daisy by my side.” Mo Li looked at her.
She smiled. “Mm-hm, listen to the doctor and rest more then. Life is full of surprises. Let’s leave the rest to the future.”
“Mm-hm.” Mo Li nodded obediently, looking so innocent.
Lu Manman turned around and left.
She left Mo Li’s room and returned to Mo Yuanxiu’s.
The pain from the rabies vaccine was still growing in her arms. She lay down on the bed and looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling…
Thankfully, Mo Yuanxiu did not sleep here, and she did not have to sleep with him.
…
She spent the day at the Mo family’s villa.
The two elders of the Mo family were still very friendly, and Mo Li was still as obedient and sensible as ever.
After lunch.
Lu Manman played mahjong with the Mo family for the whole afternoon. They looked harmonious, and after dinner, they went back to their respective rooms.
Mo Yuanxiu had not returned.
The two elders of the Mo family did not probe further, probably because they were used to it.
Lu Manman spent the day alone in the Mo family’s home. When she returned to her room, her father, Lu Zishan, called her. “Dad.”
“Manman, how is it at the Mo family?”
“It’s alright,” Lu Manman said with a smile. She did not want them to know that she had been bitten by a dog today. “You know that your daughter has been well educated by the both of you, so of course my in-laws love me!”
“You’re getting vainer and vainer,” Lu Zishan said with a smile.
Lu Manman smiled as well.
“However…” Lu Zishan suddenly turned serious. “Manman, take Mo Yuanxiu to the Lu family’s main household tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“Your grandfather called me this afternoon and said that according to tradition, you should go to your parents’ house tomorrow. He said that the traditional family’s house is in the main household, and he wanted you to go there,” Lu Zishan said helplessly. “Your grandfather sometimes has timely requests, and I can’t reject them.”
“Alright, I’ll pick you and Mom up at the villa tomorrow, then we’ll go to the main household together.” Lu Manman agreed without hesitation.
She did not want to make things difficult for her father. Moreover, besides being in a bad mood from seeing the people in the main household, she had nothing else to lose.
On the contrary, the people in the main household had to guess at her thoughts.
No matter what, she would not be at a disadvantage if she went back.
“See you tomorrow then. Rest early.”
“Okay, good night.”
After hanging up, Lu Manman did not think much about it. Most of the time, she just had to deal with whatever came her way and did not have to think too much about it. Moreover, this way, she would have a reason to leave the Mo family’s villa tomorrow morning. Her mood, which had been a little suppressed, improved slightly. She entered the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into the new pajamas that the servants had prepared, before lying down on her bed.
She was actually thinking that Mo Yuanxiu had better not come back tonight.
Otherwise, both of them would feel uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed.
Just as she was thinking about this, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Mo Yuanxiu’s face appeared before her.
She could not help but look disgusted.
Mo Yuanxiu stared at her. “Am I so ugly that you can’t bear to look at me?”
Lu Manman turned around but did not say a word.
He closed the door and headed to the bathroom.
