My mom listens to Zhang Che very much and nodded to , saying, "Wanwan, your Uncle Che and I packed breakfast at Quanxing Studio. Do you want to join us?"
"Okay, thank you, mom. Thank you, Uncle Che." I forced a smile at my mom and Zhang Che.
My mom saw smile, and her mood relaxed a lot.
She pulled along to have breakfast.
Quanxing Studio is famous for local dishes in City A, and even their breakfast is exceptionally sumptuous.
My mom specially served a big bowl of crab and sea cucumber porridge and added a few pieces of stewed beef. "Eat more; we’ll have crucian carp soup at noon. It’s good for your health."
"By the way, mom, where did you and Uncle Zhang Che go?" I stuffed a mouthful of beef into my mouth, followed by a sip of the savory seafood porridge, pretending to ask casually.
My mom blushed on the spot, and Zhang Che’s expression also seed a bit tense.
Aware of the situation, I didn’t press further and ate my food quietly.
After contemplating for a while, my mom cautiously chose her words, "Wanwan, I’m sorry. Your mom and Uncle Che went to get our marriage certificate. We couldn’t discuss this with you beforehand. Are you... angry with us?"
For so reason, my deadpan heart felt a subtle change.
Maybe because I couldn’t be with the person I liked, seeing the important people around happy gave so solace.
"Mom, since you decided to be with Uncle Che, why didn’t you tell ?" I took a couple more sips of porridge but lost my appetite.
It’s quite a difference from the ravenous appetite I had after being poisoned.
My mom sneaked a glance at Zhang Che, having sothing unspoken.
Zhang Che held my mom’s hand and explained, "I proposed to your mother. I told her I had waited for her for more than thirty years. At that ti, everything was so rushed, and your mom couldn’t think of the right way to tell you and feared you couldn’t accept it."
"Wanwan, it’s not that I didn’t respect your opinion. It’s just that your Uncle Che waited too long for , and I didn’t want to keep him waiting any longer." My mom’s eyes reddened, she was emotional while explaining to , clearly caring about my feelings.
Taking a deep breath, I smiled at my mom, "Actually, I’m really curious. Uncle Che is such a good person. He joined the Lin Family for you since childhood. Did you have glaucoma or cataracts when you were young? Why did you fall for my dad?"
"Well..." As if Zhang Che was my mom’s backbone, she glanced at him once more before gathering the courage to speak. "Your dad was more handso, had an extroverted personality, and could talk more sweetly. Not like your Uncle Che... He..."
"He always preferred to show his affection through actions?" Although I’ve always been optimistic about Zhang Che from the beginning, at this point, I’m completely reassured that Zhang Che is the one to protect my mom for the rest of her life. "Mom, there’s a secret about my dad that you probably don’t know."
"What is it?" My mom, who honestly lived in a small mountain village after marrying my dad, still seed as innocent as an unmarried girl.
She looked at with pure eyes, waiting for my answer.
I suppose if I hadn’t gone through so much, my personality might be like hers, "It’s said that when the Ancestor of Foxes tempted Lin Gang, he possessed Qing Li, so Lin Gang worked for the Ancestor of Foxes. I wonder... why would my dad do so much for a fox soul he didn’t know, seduce you, have , and treat as a Cauldron Furnace? What trick do you think the Ancestor of Foxes used?"
