Chapter 578 [Extra] Are You Serious?
"Cough, I understand, and I promise it won’t happen again. But son, after giving it some thought, I think that if you really like that young lady, it wouldn’t be completely out of the question, just not right now. I believe you could wait another couple of years, until the young lady graduates. When the time comes and you both want to be together, there would be no one to stand in your way," said Mother Xu who, when she had nothing else to do at home, liked to watch TV dramas. She thought that what they showed in the dramas about daughters-in-law being groomed wasn’t entirely impossible.
Of course, this all presumed that they could gain the approval of the girl’s parents.
Mother Xu was already considering whether to go and get acquainted with the girl’s parents first, to make herself known. For the sake of her son, she could make a bit of a sacrifice and, with a bit of thick skin, initiate the relationship. After all, as the saying goes, "One does not slap the hand that’s extended with a smile," and relationships are built through interaction. Once they got familiar with one another, she could then come forward and propose an alliance between their children, and who knows, that might just do the trick.
The moment Xu Weiran heard his mother say that, he knew she had definitely thought too much.
"Didn’t you already know that my relationship with her is fake?" he asked, curious about what had made her change her mind. Hadn’t she been adamantly demanding that they break up before? How had her attitude changed so suddenly after meeting the girl just once?
Mother Xu said, "I know you two aren’t dating. I just think that it would be such a waste not to marry such a beautiful girl."
Xu Weiran: ...
What is all this about?
Just because the girl is pretty, she doesn’t object anymore?
And she even took it upon herself to suggest that he wait for the girl for two years.
Is she so sure that the girl will agree to be together with him after two years?
