Liu Rushuang's expression was dead serious.
Xu Musen had to admire it, this natural acting and handling thod, Yao Mingyue in her past life who was so sly, must have learned it from Liu Rushuang, only it seems she learned it sowhat askew.
Father Xu and Mother Xu exchanged a look, and Mother Xu imdiately picked up the topic, "Oh yes, we've ntioned it, we were just as surprised when we found out, the kid has just started university and is already dating, we didn't expect it either."
"Indeed, the kid, once at university, is beyond our control, probably just curiosity on the part of young people," Father Xu also chid in.
But still, the atmosphere felt oddly off.
Liu Rushuang, however, smiled, "Considering everything, Xiao Sen is not that young anymore, dating in university is like a compulsory subject, and Xiao Sen has been quite the hot topic at Huhai University in these past six months, it's quite normal for young girls to like him."
Liu Rushuang seed not to mind in the slightest, and kept on praising Musen.
Mother Xu quickly interjected, "He's just been lucky, I heard from him that he has your help, or else he wouldn't have made such progress."
"That also proves that our Xiao Sen is capable, though."
Liu Rushuang said with a smile, but her gaze shifted to Yao Mingyue, who was silent with her head down, and served her a piece of ribs.
"It's just my silly daughter, hasn't achieved anything in almost half a year; she might feel like she can't keep up with Xiao Sen from now on."
At her words, everyone's expressions changed once again.
Xu Musen inwardly exclaid, that statent was really sothing, quite double-edged.
Mother Xu hastened to say, "Look at what you're saying, with the relationship between our two families, it's Musen, the young man who has been taken care of by you, no matter what he does in the future, he must not forget you and Ming Yue."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pat Xu Musen, "You little rascal, did you hear that!"
Liu Rushuang then interjected, "Oh my, I was just making an offhand remark, when a child grows up, he is bound to differ from what one previously thought, and that's a good thing, everyone has their own paths to take, and Ming Yue will also learn to take care of herself... Don't force the kids."
Liu Rushuang spoke with sincerity, but that last bit seed to roast Musen on the fire.
At that mont, he felt like the treacherous Chen Shii, betraying his wife.
With just a light touch from Liu Rushuang, Xu Musen already felt sweat streaming down his back.
Father Xu also imdiately declared, "Indeed, this young man used to be careless and it was Ming Yue who always looked out for him; even if he becos president of the country in the future, he must not forget Ming Yue, did you hear that!"
"Yes, yes."
Xu Musen could only nod vigorously.
He could only smile wryly to himself; the older the ginger, the spicier it is, indeed. Liu Rushuang's seemingly innocuous remarks were actually a harsh indictnt.
Yao Mingyue, who was beside them, saw all of this and of course knew her mother was doing it on purpose. She observed Mother Xu's eager expression.
Her heart felt a bit of warmth—it proved that in their hearts, she was actually their first choice for a daughter-in-law.
And seeing Xu Musen's helpless and embarrassed look at the mont, she couldn't help but smile.
She took the ribs her mother had served her and gave them to Xu Musen, her voice sweet as she said, "Thank you, Uncle and Auntie for caring about , but Musen has been quite good to , he takes care of and I will also learn to treat him well bit by bit, we're childhood sweethearts after all, the kind that lasts a lifeti."
Yao Mingyue's voice was just like that of the carefree young girl from years ago, innocent, cute, and pure.
Father Xu and Mother Xu could not help but be moved.
Xu Musen also looked at the ribs she had given him in his bowl and looked up to et her eyes.
Childhood sweethearts, the kind that lasts a lifeti.
He picked up and bit into one, as if he could never get tired of them, just like the ribs...
