The lady looked at Li Shengxia and smiled. ‘”‘1 didn’t expect you to be married at such a young age. Let’s go on our honeymoon together. How blissful.” “Thank you.” Li Shengxia did not continue to refuse.
“I should thank you. Otherwise, I really don’t know how to deal with this sudden accident. “The noblewoman looked down at the spot where the petals were sewn on her dress and smiled knowingly.
Li Shengxia walked out of the washroom and saw a group of girls surrounding MO Nianchen.” Hey, handsome, how much is this?” Handsome? What are you talking about? Are you selling or not?”
MO Nianchen’s expression froze when he saw Li Shengxia come out, followed by the noblewoman.
He stuffed the sanitary pads into the girl’s hands and pulled Li Shengxia to leave.
However, the noblewoman who walked out from behind Li Shengxia immediately stopped him in surprise.” Chen Chen…”
MO Nianchen’s back stiffened. Li Shengxia turned around to look at the lady, apparently not expecting them to know each other.
The lady looked at MO Nianchen, then at Li Shengxia. She seemed to have understood something.” I never expected that the husband this lady mentioned would be you. You seem to be living a good life.’”‘
MO Nianchen replied coldly,” Mother, you don’t have to worry about me. You’re busy every day. You should go do your own things. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving first.’”‘
Mother? Li Shengxia was shocked. This lady was MO Nianchen’s mother?
Li Shengxia felt awkward.” Auntie, I…”
MO Nianchen did not want to stay there any longer. He called her name coldly and urged her to leave. “Li Shengxia!”
“Li Shengxia?” Mrs. MO was taken aback when she heard the name. She turned to Li Shengxia and finally understood why she felt that she had met him before. She blurted out,””Your surname is Li? Are you Li Wenhou’s daughter?”
Li Shengxia nodded.” It’s me. ‘”‘
She knew that the MO Family and the Li Family had a good relationship in the past, so she lived next door. Therefore, she was not surprised that Mrs. MO knew her father.
‘ Your father and my husband are good friends,” Mrs. MO continued.” We used to live next door, but we weren’t home for a long time after that, so we didn’t keep in touch much. How is your father now?”
Li Shengxia froze for a moment when she heard her father’s name. It seemed that she did not know about her father’s illness.
At the same time, MO Nianchen’s voice rang out,’”‘Mother, this is her family matter. I think you don’t have to worry about it.”
A hint of disappointment flashed across Mrs. Mo’s eyes, but she did not show it. She only said one last sentence,” Shengxia, remember to come. I’m in a hurry, so I’ll be leaving first.” Chen Chen, take good care of Shengxia.”
Li Shengxia nodded.
Mother MO turned around and left.
MO Nianchen remained silent.
Li Shengxia looked at MO Nianchen again after her mother left. She seemed to have noticed the strange emotions in his eyes.
She knew that MO Nianchen’s parents had left him alone in Y City. They lived far away from each other, so it was normal for them to be distant. However, she felt that his parents really wanted to be close to him. They just didn’t know how to get close to him.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go.” MO Nianchen said coldly when he saw Li Shengxia staring at him for a long time.
He had a bad temper.
Li Shengxia stuck her tongue out.” But I’ve already promised her that I’ll attend tonight’s banquet. I even accepted the invitation card. ‘”‘
“There’s a trash can next to it.”
“But these two invitation cards are the ‘reward’ I got for helping her embroider flowers on her gown. It would be a waste to throw them away.”
So she had been in the bathroom for a long time just now because she was embroidering her mother’s gown?
MO Nianchen couldn’t imagine what had happened.” Why didn’t I know you were so easy to get to know?”
“Isn’t she your mother? Maybe it’s because the corners of my eyes have a bit of your shadow, so it makes me feel very close.”
I don’t think so at all.” MO Nianchen said coldly.
“Hello…” She poked his arm with her finger.” If you really don’t like it, then…’ I’d better throw it away…”
“Forget it.” ” Since you’re the one who exchanged your ‘skills’, I can’t deprive you of the fruits of your labor,” said MO Nianchen.”
“So you agree?”
“I can’t let my wife go back on her word.”
“I knew you were the best to me.”Li Shengxia’s eyes flashed with a sly glint.
He reached out and ruffled her hair. His mood seemed to have improved a little. He curled his lips and said,” Idiot.’”‘
Li Shengxia felt that since this was her first time meeting Mrs. MO, she had to prepare a gift for her, so she started searching for gifts in the nearby shops.
“This seems too ordinary, uh… This doesnt seem to be suitable as a greeting gift. Hmm, this…”
“Li Shengxia, why do you care so much about her?”
“Because my mother left home very early, I envy others for having a mother. “Li Shengxia looked at him.” You have no idea how envious I am of you.”
But now, his mother was also hers…
“You’re so stupid. Not all mothers are good. There’s nothing to be envious of.”
“I believe that all mothers treat their children sincerely and do their best to give them the best.”
MO Nianchen’s expression froze for a moment.” You’re talking about someone else’s mother, aren’t you?” he said coldly.”
“Why are you so against her?”
“Do you think parents who don’t even attend their son’s birthday care about him? No matter how busy he was, he should at least give her a call to greet her, right? It had never happened before…lt was as if it did not exist. Any excuse is unnecessary.”
Li Shengxia could not understand why MO Nianchen’s mother did not even attend his birthday party. However, from the brief glance she had just given him, she could tell that his mother cared about him very much.
In her impression, MO Nianchen’s mother was also very elegant and generous…
My parents have no interest in composing,” he said coldly.” They prefer business. They only like money. We have nothing in common.” They felt that only with money could they have everything. Of course, it was all thanks to them that the MO Family could have what it had today.” His tone did not sound like he was praising them at all.
Li Shengxia tugged at the corner of his shirt.” Chen Chen…”
MO Nianchen’s tone became slightly calmer.” When I was twenty, they wanted to take me to their side. I thought that my life would be different because of this, but in the end, they just wanted to nurture me into another one of them.
No matter how well I do, they will never care about whether I am happy or not.
“So I returned to Y City because I knew that no matter how close I was to them, we would always be strangers..”
