Translator: 549690339
Jing Rui arrived at his house with Shuyin at around 11 pm.
Shuyin had been very nervous, but the moment she saw Shangguan ning, she forgot all about it.
Shangguan ning was too young!
She looked more like Jing Rui’s sister than a mother of two.
Shuyin was stunned for a while until Jing Rui squeezed her hand and motioned for her to call for someone. She hesitated and called out,”aunt.”
!!
She felt that calling Shangguan ning “Auntie” made her sound old.
Shangguan ning was wearing a bright orange dress and a white cardigan. She didn’t have any makeup on, but her skin was so fair that not a single wrinkle could be seen.
Her long black hair fell softly over her shoulders, like the best silk, shining with a faint luster.
She exuded an elegant and gentle temperament from head to toe. There was a smile on her beautiful face, and she had the vitality and freshness of a young man.
Shuyin felt that if she had met Shangguan ning on the street, she would never have thought that she was Jing Rui’s mother.
Shuyin looked at Shangguan ning in a daze, which made Jing Yichen happy.
He took a look at his wife and felt that Shangguan ning was indeed the most beautiful. Shuyin was stunned as soon as she arrived.
Shangguan ning also knew that Shuyin was surprised at her young age, because she had seen such a scene many times.
Many people thought that it was normal for her to have a daughter as old as Jing Xi. No one would have thought that she had a 20-year-old son.
She took the gift from Shuyin with a smile and handed it to Jing Yichen. Then she pulled Shuyin into the living room and sat down.
“It’s Yinyin’s first time at home, so don’t be shy. Just treat it as your own home! Later, Ruirui will show you around. Our house is quite big!”
Jing Xi also joined in the fun and said with a smile,””Our house is big. You and brother can stay here tonight!”
She wanted to call Shuyin “sister-in-law”, but she was worried that it would make Shuyin embarrassed if she called her that in front of the whole family. In the end, she held back.
Shuyin was indeed a little embarrassed. She touched Jing Xi’s head and smiled at Shangguan ning.”Auntie, you’re so young and beautiful!”
Shangguan ning smiled happily. Before she could say anything, Jing Rui interrupted her. “It’d be a wonder if she’s not young. My dad takes care of everything at home, so she doesn’t have to worry about anything. Even her daughter is now being taken care of by my son. All she does every day is play basketball, do her beauty, and travel.”
Shangguan ning glared at her son.”Go talk to your dad in the study room. Don’t stand here, I’m dizzy!”
Jing Rui laughed and shook his head. Yinyin’s only been here for a day!”
He nodded to Shuyin and followed Jing Yichen to the study.
Jing Yichen looked much gentler than the last time he saw Shuyin. Jing Rui knew that it must be because of his mother.
However, this was only relative. When he didn’t speak, he still looked cold.
After the two men left, the living room seemed to immediately become much more relaxed.
Shuyin was a bit scared of Jing Yichen. She didn’t know where to put her hands and feet under his cold stare.
Women always had a lot to talk about, and Shangguan ning and Shuyin both wanted to make each other like them more, so they soon started to talk about it.
Coupled with Jing Xi’s occasional child’s talk, the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.
Half an hour later, Jing Rui and Jing Yichen came out of the study and heard the three of them laughing in the living room.
Lunch was already prepared in the kitchen, and they went to the dining room to eat.
The family had never had the habit of eating without speaking, so they had a happy and harmonious meal.
When Shuyin left in the afternoon, she had already talked to Shangguan ning about everything.
“Your parents are very nice and have a good relationship. It’s rare!”
Shuyin couldn’t help but sigh when they returned to Jing Rui’s Villa.
Jing Rui rested his head on Shuyin’s lap, feeling very comfortable.
“Our relationship will be very good too. You’ll know just by looking at how my dad treats my mom. I’ll treat you the same way in the future.”
His parents had never really quarreled in their lives.
For one thing, Shangguan ning was not the kind of woman who would throw a tantrum. She was content with what she had. For another, no matter what happened, Jing Yichen would always bow down to his wife and put her in his arms.
Jing Rui had laughed at his father for being a henpecked husband when he was a child. He had only realized after he grew up that it was not that his father was afraid of his mother, but that he loved her enough.
His gentleness, tolerance, pampering, and concession reflected a man’s breadth of mind and the attitude that a husband should have.
Jing Rui hoped that he and Shuyin would not have any quarrels in the future, and that they would only have love.
Shuyin wasn’t someone who liked to make a fuss. She was very rational and didn’t have any ambitions. She liked children and stability, so she was a very Good Wife candidate.
Shuyin had witnessed how much Jing Yichen loved his wife.
She was extremely shocked. She had never thought that the cold Jing Yichen could have such a gentle and considerate side.
If Jing Rui was really like him, then his future life would be wonderful.
Shu Yin’s fingers touched Jing Rui’s face gently, subconsciously tracing his perfect facial outline.
“I believe you,” she said softly.
Jing Rui caught her soft hands and kissed them.””When are we getting engaged? You pick a day, I’ll prepare!”
“This … Isn’t this a little too fast?”
Shuyin always felt that it was not real. How did she become Jing Rui’s girlfriend?
They could spend the rest of their lives together?
Would she have another person in her life from now on?
She was a little uneasy and nervous for some reason.
“It’s not fast at all. The engagement will take at least a month to prepare. ”
Jing Rui felt that it was already very slow. Every time he got close to Shuyin, he had the urge to turn her into his woman.
Shuyin didn’t say anything. She didn’t know what to say.
She would miss Jing Rui unconsciously when she could not see him, and she would feel empty when he was not by her side.
Jing Rui didn’t need Shuyin’s response. As long as she didn’t object too much, he would take it as an agreement.
However, he finally realized that this could be considered as him proposing to Shuyin!
This was too informal!
No wonder Shuyin was hesitating!
Jing Rui reflected on himself and went to order a diamond ring and roses the next day.
Shuyin, on the other hand, didn’t notice the problem of whether it was formal or not. She had never attended a wedding or an engagement before, and she didn’t even know much about marriage proposals.
She used to live in a cage and was almost isolated from the world. The Research Institute’s network had access restrictions, so she couldn’t see everything as she pleased.
Therefore, she didn’t have a clear concept of a proposal.
She never cared about the formalities, as long as the person she was engaged to was Jing Rui.
