Chapter 219: Shanghai Fantasy
So, the hesitant Li Xiaoyun eventually declined the Wu family’s invitation and left, even though Wu Hao’s parents had already treated her as their daughter-in-law for quite some time. That’s precisely why they had invited her to stay at their home after their last trip.
However, over the following two months, they noticed that after Li Xiaoyun had been staying with them for a while, she seemed increasingly unhappy and anxious. Eventually, despite their attempts to persuade her to stay, she left, which made Wu Hao’s parents feel a bit resentful towards him for not coming home even after two months.
During this period, Wu Hao’s parents had called him to inquire about Li Xiaoyun, but Wu Hao was busy with various matters at the base and had to make excuses. In reality, it wasn’t that he didn’t come home because of Li Xiaoyun staying there.
Instead, it was due to the physical changes from his recent evolution and his desire to complete the base’s construction as soon as possible.
At this moment, seeing his sister and parents bring up the matter again, Wu Hao decided not to make excuses any longer. Since his parents liked Li Xiaoyun and she had been taking good care of them, he didn’t want to make them unhappy by refusing to accept Li Xiaoyun, even though he didn’t have any romantic feelings for her.
“Well, actually, I’ve always been clear about my intentions! Haven’t you always treated her as a daughter-in-law?” Wu Hao said with a light smile, officially acknowledging his relationship with Li Xiaoyun.
Wu Hao’s parents smiled upon hearing this. “That’s right! Son, Xiaoyun is such a wonderful girl, and she’s always been so devoted to you. How could you not be moved at all?”
“Yes! Brother, Xiaoyun is indeed very good—she’s always been kind to me and our parents, and she’s so pretty too,” Wu Xiaoxiao added with praise.
