“Have you accepted me then?” Sheng Nanxuan pinched her face with a smile.
The starch on his fingers from the potatoes earlier were now on her face. She pushed him away angrily and headed to the toilet to wash her face.
Sheng Nanxuan entered the kitchen. “Auntie, I’ll cut the watermelon,” he said to Mama Gong.
“Eh? Where is Gong Mo? She’s shirking again!”
“No, I asked her to rest.”
“You love her dearly, don’t you?” Mama Gong cast a glance at him but was unmoved.
Everyone knew how to butter someone up. She had more life experience than him and she could tell what he was trying to do with a single glance! She would only believe he was genuine if he treated Gong Mo this well in private and after their marriage!
During the meal, Mama Gong asked Sheng Nanxuan, “How old are you?”
“23,” he replied.

“You’re a year older than Gong Mo…” This wasn’t something she could nitpick on. Mama Gong asked again, “Are you from Nanjiang? What do your parents do? Do you have siblings?”
Gong Mo was startled. She looked towards Sheng Nanxuan.
Sheng Nanxuan paused for a while before saying, “I have an older brother.”
Under the table, Gong Mo reached out with her foot and delivered a light kick to him.
He continued, “My father is Sheng Zhongtian.”
Bang! Gong Mo slammed her bowl on the table heavily and glared at him in fury. Did he not understand her hint? How could he say that?
“Sheng Donglin?!” Mama Gong cried out. She looked at Gong Mo. “Isn’t that… Sheng Donglin’s father?”
“That’s right,” Sheng Nanxuan said. “Sheng Donglin is my older brother.”
Mama Gong was in disbelief. “That’s Momo’s boyfriend!”
“Ex-boyfriend,” corrected Sheng Nanxuan.
“Stop talking!” shouted Gong Mo.
Sheng Nanxuan held Gong Mo’s hand and advised, “How could we keep this a secret forever? You’re thinking too much. I’m sure Auntie will understand.”
“You don’t understand!” Mama Gong walked over and separated the pair. “Tell me, how did you get together? Momo was dating your brother!”
Sheng Nanxuan explained, “I’ve already said that Gong Mo and I were high school classmates. I’ve been studying in the capital these few years, so I lost contact with her. When I returned home during the New Year, I met her after she broke up with my brother. My heart broke for her and I kept comforting her and she fell in love with me. After a few months of long-distance dating, I rushed back immediately after graduating. That day was also my birthday… and in the heat of the moment, we couldn’t control ourselves and…”
“Hey!” cried Gong Mo. “What nonsense are you talking!”
Mama Gong exhaled. “Let him speak!” she shouted.
Sheng Nanxuan said, “We did it. But we forgot to use protection and I suspect that Momo might already be pregnant. So I specially came to visit Auntie today to ask for Momo’s hand in marriage and I hope that Auntie will let us be married soon.”
“You’re pregnant?” Mama Gong looked towards Gong Mo.
Gong Mo covered her face and tried to weep, but no tears formed. That b*stard Sheng Nanxuan, she had already told him that he couldn’t tell this to her mom, but in the end he spilled everything! That jerk! She wasn’t going to keep the child anymore. She didn’t want to marry him now! How could she marry such a man? They had an agreement but he betrayed her!
“Are you pregnant?” hollered Mama Gong.
Gong Mo jumped in fright. She knew that her mother was angry now, and she was too scared to respond.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Nanxuan said sharply, “Auntie! Blame me if you must! Don’t blame her!”
Mama Gong got a sudden shock as a cold wave hit her. Sheng Nanxuan seemed to be incensed. Could he be… displeased that she was shouting at Gong Mo?
