Lan Yiqing is not an unreasonable person. Although the Huo Family’s mother and daughter said a lot to her, she felt she still needed to hear her son’s inner thoughts: "Mu Bai, did Mom hear your Aunt Huo say that you have a girlfriend?"
As soon as she asked, the room instantly fell silent, and everyone’s expressions varied. The Huo Family’s mother and daughter were anxious and slightly nervous, Han Xiayang was full of understanding, and Third Young Master Xi was surprised. When did his good friend get a girlfriend without introducing her to him? That was really inconsiderate.
As for the person asking, she looked at her son with eager anticipation. Did her son, who had been single for twenty-five years, really have a relationship now? Did this mean that in the near future, she might have a little grandchild to hold?
Lin Mubai gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, his gaze circled around everyone’s face in the room, pausing on the Huo Family’s mother and daughter with a trace of disgust and impatience, and then on Han Xiayang’s face, who gave him a sympathetic smile. Finally, he looked at Lan Yiqing’s hopeful expression and nodded without hesitation. Updates are released by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
Lin Mubai’s affirmation immediately made the atmosphere in the room become odd.
The impatient Xi Shaoqi was the first to discontentedly shout, "Lin Mubai, you’re really inconsiderate. You have a girlfriend and you didn’t bring her for us to meet."
Lin Mubai glanced sideways at him and thought, if he had sorted things out with that little girlfriend, he would have already announced it and claimed her as his. Why would he need to keep it so secretive?
Thinking about it made his heart bleed.
Lan Yiqing was joyously holding her son’s hand after hearing him admit he had a girlfriend and fired off a string of questions: "What’s the girl’s name? How old is she? What do her parents do? When can your dad and I go over to propose marriage?"
Her impatient manner made it seem like she was desperate for her son to find a wife, and now that they had caught one, she was eager to hold onto her.
The one being questioned felt powerless, only weakness filled his heart as he pondered how to answer his mom’s questions.
Listening to the mother and son’s conversation on one side, Huo Bingxuan’s expression was fully replaced by anger. Ignoring Mrs. Huo’s attempts to stop her, she said to Lan Yiqing, "Mrs. Lan, didn’t you just say not any woman can enter the Lin Family’s door?"
As Huo Bingxuan spoke, her twisted expression was replaced with one of pitifulness, her beautiful eyes sparkling as if she had suffered a great grievance.
Lan Yiqing simply glanced at her with mild indifference, chuckling as she said, "Bing Xuan, those miscellaneous women indeed cannot enter my Lin Family’s door, but I trust Mu Bai’s judgment as his mom, so the girl must certainly be quite fine."
With those words, she disrupted all the plans of the Huo Family’s mother and daughter for the evening. Mrs. Huo lost her composure too, speaking up to support her daughter, "Mrs. Lin..."
Just as she was about to say something, Lan Yiqing waved her off, interrupting, "Mrs. Huo, today I really must thank you. If you hadn’t invited me to dinner, I wouldn’t have seen Mu Bai, nor would I have known he was dating."
Lan Yiqing was now extremely happy. All along, her sole expectation was for her son to quickly marry and give her a grandchild to play with. But now, not to mention a little grandchild, she hadn’t even seen a woman, leaving her incredibly anxious.
