Chapter 1099: Chapter 1098: The rest of life is long, grateful to have him
Can I become a live-in son-in-law?
Xiao Qimo’s heart, which was filled with anxiety and unease, instantly felt like it was on a roller coaster, lifted high and then dropping down.
This question…
No need to even think.
The corners of the elegant man’s mouth involuntarily curved up, and his eyes beneath the gold-rimmed glasses shimmered slightly.
He thought Aunt Yun wanted to keep Mianmian for a few more years and not let her get married so early.
He was even planning on shamelessly staying at the Yun Family and not leaving, but the tables turned, and it was a pleasant surprise.
Xiao Qimo wished he could rush into the bedroom right now and tell Yun Zhishu that he could, and there was absolutely no problem.
The Xiao Family had no issues either.
After all, his mom already said it, she wouldn’t let him go home.
The Yun Family is his home.
However, inside the bedroom, Lu Mian’s calm and decisive voice came through.
“Mom, there’s no need.”
Xiao Qimo’s heart was suspended again.
After a pause, he heard the girl continue, “Qimo and I have failed to register the marriage three times… I don’t want him to compromise for me anymore, to change his life for me, to sacrifice for me…”
“A good relationship isn’t about one side compromising, but about both achieving together. Mom, I want to spend the rest of my life with him, I want to plan the future with him. Life is long, and I’m glad to have him.”
“Xiao Qimo, he is worth it.”
The man at the door kept repeating Lu Mian’s words with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, a deep, magnetic laughter gently escaping.
This little rascal had never said this in front of him before; sometimes, he even felt the illusion that he didn’t hold much weight in her brilliant life.
But when she said these words herself, Xiao Qimo had to admit he was warmed, his confidence restored.
Little rascal, you are worth it too.
Life is long, and I’m glad to have you.
Yun Sang, who had intended to watch the drama unfold, rolled his eyes silently as he saw his brother’s smitten look.
He had witnessed this high and mighty Lord Mo of Jinjing, revered by the world, experiencing such emotional ups and downs, with his expressions constantly changing.
How could he have been like this before?
The so-called “one thing suppresses another,” probably refers to this!
Back then, he even personally facilitated their marriage, played a supportive role, and sent his sister to the enemy camp with his sincere blessings.
The reason being, astonishingly, was just for a few hamburgers from Xiao’s mother!
Damn!
Every time he thinks about it, he wishes he could strangle himself.
“Honestly, Xiao Qimo, why didn’t you listen to your grandfather back then and go find Mianmian?” Yun Sang couldn’t just wallow in regret, so he turned his sharp gaze to Xiao Qimo.
As brothers, let’s cry together.
The voices of Yun Zhijuan and Lu Xun also floated over from not far away, murmuring softly.
“Exactly.”
“Exactly.”
Lulled by sweetness, Xiao Qimo snapped out of it and looked at his brother-in-law, his eyes filled with particular grievance (after all, he didn’t dare to take action now).
Stop talking; I’m already reflecting on it.
And I’ve already received serious punishment…
During the mother-daughter heart-to-heart in the bedroom, Yun Zhishu’s phone started vibrating.
Seeing the number from overseas, she immediately knew who it was.
She called Lu Xun over while Lu Mian carried the laptop, and the family gathered around the coffee table.
Yun Zhishu answered the call, turning on the speakerphone.
Lu Mian took this opportunity to quickly operate the computer, her fingers moving so fast they were barely visible, yet her actions were smooth and silent.
The voice on the other end was processed, sounding very low.
“Mrs. Lu, we’ve sent specialized staff to pick you up; why haven’t you arrived yet?”
Calculating the time, from Jinjing to O Continent takes at least eight hours. If everything went smoothly, Yun Zhishu and Lu Xun should indeed have arrived by now.
Yun Zhishu paused before replying, “Something came up today, and we canceled the trip.”
“It seems like you’re in no rush to find your daughter…”
The voice on the other end grew colder, even carrying some hidden threats, “Our detective agency has done what we should. If anything happens to your daughter, we are not accountable.”
“We’ve already warned you before that your daughter’s current situation is very dangerous. That’s all I have to say, take care of yourselves.”
The caller was about to hang up when Yun Zhishu looked at Lu Mian, who immediately gave her an OK gesture.
Lu Mian had already located their position and was tracking them.
Yun Zhishu let the caller hang up the phone.
Lu Mian looked at the computer screen, pointing to a location on the map, “They’re in Tulip Town, O Continent.”
With that, she pulled out her phone and immediately called Du Xiaofu.
“I’ll send you the coordinates right away, bring back someone alive.” The implication being, treat the others as you see fit.
The other party firmly replied, “Understood!”
Yun Zhishu gently held her daughter’s hand, her gaze palpable with concern and affection.
“Mianmian, you just got back home and now you have to face so much trouble; I feel so guilty…”
“Mom, it’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it.”
To Lu Mian, this really wasn’t a big deal; a flick of her fingers and sending someone to investigate could solve it.
But Lu Xun and the others didn’t know, shaking their heads, “Isn’t this a big deal? Mianmian, you have a brother, let him handle whatever comes up! You should spend more time with Mom and me, let us enjoy the joy of parenthood too.”
Yun Sang pursed his lips: Why does that not sound very comforting?
“Okay, I won’t stay at school anymore, I’ll come home after school.”
“That’s just wonderful!”
As the family chatted, Yun Zhishu’s phone rang again.
She thought it was the detective agency calling again, but it showed as: Father-in-law.
“It’s Dad’s call, you’re his son, you pick it up,” Yun Zhishu handed the phone to Lu Xun.
Yun Zhishu didn’t want to answer.
But it was clear Lu Xun also had a sense of resistance.
Lu Xun passed it to Yun Sang, “It’s your grandfather’s call, you’re his grandson, you take it.”
Yun Sang jumped up, “I don’t get to enjoy the good things, but you all push this kind of stuff on me.”
What kind of parents are these!
“Mom, it’s grandpa calling you, you should take it!”
The three of them passed the phone around, and in the end, Yun Zhishu still answered.
“Dad.”
Before Yun Zhishu could say another word, Lu Beihua’s rather dissatisfied voice came through the handset.
“Zhishu, why didn’t you go to the hospital today? Yutian is still hospitalized, how can you as uncle and aunt not care about the child at all?!”
“Even if you have things to do, you could at least send lunch to Yutian at noon, right? She hasn’t eaten anything all day!”
You could hear Lu Beihua’s reproach through the phone.
Yun Sang silently spat on the side.
Lu Mian squinted her pretty eyes, lost in thought.
Yet Yun Zhishu chuckled, not beating around the bush at all, speaking frankly and even somewhat incredibly.
“Lu Yutian hasn’t eaten for a day? Did she bump her head silly? Can’t even order takeout now??”
