Chapter 635: The Hope of Becoming Permanent (1)_1
Old Master Loo, upon hearing Old Master Situ’s words, also cast an unkind look at Xiao Muli. Although he didn’t verbalize his thoughts, his mind was busy scheming that, regardless of whether Baby was involved with Xiao Muli, just based on the fact that Xiao Muli dared to covet their darling, once his injuries healed, he would certainly have his grandson—and his son-in-law—give the boy a thorough lesson.
"Alright, old man, you talk too much. Can’t you see that Muli is still injured?" Old Madam Situ eyed Xiao Muli’s pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead. After a glance at Old Master Situ, she spoke.
"Old Lu, that’s enough. Jianxin, go ask the hospital director to add another bed to this room. After all, with Muli as company, Baby won’t feel lonely." The two old madams thought differently than the two old masters. In their eyes, a woman must eventually marry, and as much as they adored Situ Xin, they couldn’t keep her by their side for life.
Even though Situ Xin was still young and had not reached the age to start a family and career, this did not prevent the two old madams from starting to consider this grandson-in-law (or granddaughter-in-law).
To Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo, Muli was someone they had watched grow up since he was a child; they were well aware of his character. If Muli truly had feelings for their Baby and Baby also took a liking to Muli, then they would not object. Besides, the Xiao Family lived close by, within the same military district compound. In the future, if Baby got married, they could see their Baby every day. With this in mind, the two old madams were even happier to see it happen.
Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo were becoming more satisfied the more they thought about it. They even began to plan in their hearts that, once their Baby got married and became pregnant and gave birth to a little baby, they could help raise it together. The mere thought of holding a soft, Baby-like grandchild made flowers bloom on their faces.
After finishing their thoughts, the two old madams exchanged a knowing glance—its meaning known only to themselves.
Although Loo Jianxin was also displeased that Xiao Muli had secretly reached out to their Baby behind everyone’s back, his mother had now spoken, and even his father had shut up. As a son, what else could he say? He could only respond, "Eh, I’ll go right now."
Although Xiao Muli’s gaze never left Situ Xin for a moment, his ears were always tuned to the voices of the pivotal old masters and madams behind him, which would determine whether he could stay.
And when he heard what Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo said, joy filled his heart. His happiness was not just about being allowed to stay; what thrilled him even more was the prospect of formally engaging and successfully marrying Situ Xin to bring her home as his wife.
