Chapter 1166 - 370: Daily Life, Wedding Date_3
"I so wish I could marry you and take you home right now."
Every time he returned to that home meant for just the two of them, he fantasized that as soon as he opened the door, he would see her. Together they would dine, walk, or stay in the study, one reading, the other attending to official business... Such peaceful and warm days had appeared countless times in his dreams.
Through Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes, Mo Yan felt as if she could see into the depths of his heart. She couldn’t help but wrap her arms around his waist to comfort him, saying, "I’ll mention it to my father. It’s just that my father is getting married this year, so at the earliest, we’d have to wait until next year."
Her father hoped she would marry at eighteen. On one hand, it was because he cherished her; on the other, he wanted to see if Bro Xiao was reliable. From her father’s treatment of Bro Xiao, he was clearly satisfied, and if she were to bring it up, her father might not insist.
Although she didn’t want to marry so young, she had to consider Bro Xiao. The longer they were together, the less she could let go of this man. She couldn’t bear the thought of him being all alone, looking after their home, coming back from a day’s hard work without someone to ask after his well-being.
Upon hearing her words, Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes flashed with ecstatic joy: "Yanyan, are you serious?"
Mo Yan smiled and hit his chest playfully, scolding him, "Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, you can go talk to my father yourself."
Xiao Ruiyuan held her hand and caressed it in his palm, chuckling bitterly, "Do you think I haven’t mentioned it to my future father-in-law?" He had broached the subject more than once, overtly and covertly, but his future father-in-law either pretended not to understand or directly told him to break off the engagement and find someone he wouldn’t have to wait for. How could he dare to bring it up again?
