Chapter 1158 - 368 True Love, Laying the Cards on the Table_3
"Mr. Mo, are you willing to take Rourou as your wife?" Old Lady Cui looked at Mo Qingze with calm and undisturbed eyes, inquiring with a placid tone. Her demeanor was as though she was asking, "Mr. Mo, was the meal to your liking tonight?"
Mo Qingze suddenly looked up at Old Lady Cui with a hint of doubt, wondering if he was hallucinating. It wasn’t until Old Lady Cui repeated the question with the same indifferent expression that he realized this was no illusion.
Suppressing the tumultuous waves rising in his heart, Mo Qingze stood up. He wanted to follow his deepest desires and immediately agree with an "I am willing," but as the words reached his lips, they changed: "I am honored by Old Lady Cui’s generous affection, and to marry Miss Cui would be the greatest fortune for Qingze. However, regarding the matter of marriage, Qingze must still consult the children’s wishes for their consent," he said.
Old Lady Cui’s heart had just begun to reveal a glimmer of joy upon hearing the beginning, but the latter part of his statement made her heart sink abruptly. Her expression unchanged, her tone became significantly harder, "Do you mean to say, you need to consult your children’s opinions about taking a wife, and you will marry only if they agree?"
Mo Qingze shook his head, calmly explaining, "Qingze is determined to marry Miss Cui; their opposition would be in vain. However, without their understanding, Qingze worries Miss Cui might be mistreated in the future."
Lady Cui, upon hearing this, somewhat understood Mo Qingze’s intentions, and her heart felt a little more at ease, "If those three children do not agree, then you will not marry?"
She would not be foolish enough to question who weighed more heavily in his heart, her daughter or his children. There was simply no comparison. She would rather her daughter get along well with the three children so that she could lead a happy life in the future.
After hearing her words, Mo Qingze revealed a gentle smile, "The children will not disagree, but Qingze just wants to know if they will treat Miss Cui as a family member."
Old Lady Cui looked at Mo Qingze in astonishment, as if she were seeing him for the first time. Undeniably, she was touched by the words "as a family member."
