Mrs. Huo praised her a few tis and then her tone turned stern: "From now on, you should move in here with . I’ll teach you so etiquette, fashion, and grooming. Before the wedding, you should at least resemble soone from high society."
"Ah..." Lin Banxia hadn’t expected that Mrs. Huo would ask her to move in and live with her, so her face imdiately took on a look of distress.
"What’s wrong? You’re not happy? I’m asking you to move in, but you won’t be living with . You’ll be living with Yan Ting instead. First get used to life in the Huo Family for a while, and then we’ll discuss the engagent and wedding plans. There’s no rush. We’ll take it step by step." Mrs. Huo, seeing the shock written all over Lin Banxia’s face, quickly offered a further explanation.
Lin Banxia finally felt a little more at ease: "Mrs. Huo, I’m afraid I’ll offend you again!"
"That’s why I want to teach you personally. What do you already know? Can you arrange flowers? Play the piano?" Mrs. Huo asked casually.
Lin Banxia shook her head awkwardly: "I can’t do either. I’ve never learned!"
"I knew it. Ah, forget it. I’ll teach you slowly in the future. For now, go ho and let your mother know. If she’s uncomfortable with you moving in, we’ll discuss the betrothal gifts with her first and deliver them ahead of ti." This ti, Mrs. Huo had already made up her mind to hold a grand wedding for her grandson, also as a way to restore the dignity lost from their secret marriage.
Lin Banxia’s mood instantly soared as if she were walking on air.
She could hardly believe it—Mrs. Huo was actually letting her move in with Huo Yanting and had even ntioned the betrothal gifts.
"Okay, I’ll go discuss this with my mom!" Lin Banxia struggled to suppress her excitent and replied softly.
"Alright, go ahead." Mrs. Huo waved her hand dismissively.
Only then did Lin Banxia take her leave.
Sitting in the car, her hands trembled with excitent. The unexpected surprise had co so suddenly.
Though she wanted to call Huo Yanting imdiately, she worried that soone might see her and accuse her of being over-proud.
Instead, she drove out of the Huo Family estate, pulled over to the roadside, took out her phone, and called Huo Yanting.
"Banxia, did my grandma bully you again?" Huo Yanting’s voice carried a smile as he answered her call.
Hearing his laughter, Lin Banxia felt as if she’d been tricked. She asked, slightly peeved, "You knew about this all along, didn’t you? Ugh, so annoying!"
Huo Yanting finally laughed out loud: "I only knew my grandma agreed to let us be together, but I didn’t know what she was going to say to you today."
"She told to move in and live with you!" Lin Banxia said, her voice carrying a hint of happiness.
"Really?" Huo Yanting’s eyes lit up slightly. "She’s really okay with this?"
"Yes, but she wants to move in because she says she’ll personally teach etiquette!" Lin Banxia, recalling Mrs. Huo’s stern expression, thought to herself that those were definitely going to be hard days ahead.
"You didn’t tell her about the baby, did you?" Huo Yanting, sensing her discouragent, tried to cheer her up as he asked.
"No, should I tell her now?" Lin Banxia thought it was still too soon—perhaps it would be better after the baby was stable for three months.
"If my grandma asks you to do sothing too intense, then you should tell her. For now, you can keep it a secret. After all, she’s set us a three-month deadline to conceive. There’s still ti!" Huo Yanting said with a slightly mischievous smile.
"She really said that?" Lin Banxia asked, feeling a little speechless.
"Yep, didn’t she ntion it to you today?"
"No!"
"Looks like my grandma finally ca around!" Huo Yanting exhaled a sigh of relief.
