Although he didn’t know what was going on, seeing how much Mrs. Nangong liked Xiyuan, it shouldn’t be a bad thing. Since that was the case, he naturally had no reason to disagree.
Ye Xiyuan was very anxious, but since Murong Yanshu was here, she couldn’t say anything. She could only try her best to maintain the smile on her face.
“Xiyuan can indeed make her own decisions about other things. However, regarding this matter…” Murong Yanshu paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Xiyuan and continued, “I have to ask for your opinions as her parents.
Otherwise, you will think that I’m snatching your daughter away from you.”
Murong Yanshu’s words made Ye Li’s heart tremble and he couldn’t help but feel excited. He didn’t know what he was so excited about, but he felt that there was more implied in Mrs. Nangongs words. The only possibility he could think of now was that she wanted to let the two children settle down together.
After all, if she needed to ask for their consent as parents, it could only be about this one thing.
However, Lin Wanqin still had a smile on her face, but she wasn’t as open-minded as Ye Li. She had a feeling that Mrs. Nangongs visit today was definitely for something important. However, it seemed to be a different matter than between Young Master Nangong and Xiyuan.
If it was really about the two of them, Xiyuan would have informed them earlier. If that was the case, they wouldn’t be so lost because of Murong Yanshu’s sudden visit.
“Mrs. Nangong, please just speak plainly.” Ye Li suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to speak calmly, “As open-minded parents, we will support whatever decision Xiyuan makes.”
“That’s wonderful.” Murong Yanshu clapped her hands enthusiastically. “Actually, I’ve already discussed this matter with Xiyuan. It’s just that she hasn’t agreed yet. Perhaps she wants your approval first! After all, this is no small matter.’
Under Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s gaze, Murong Yanshu slowly said, “I really like Xiyuan. She even saved my life. I think we were fated to meet. So, I want to take Xiyuan as my goddaughter. I just don’t know if you will mind.”
These simple words instantly changed Ye Li’s expression.
Obviously, he had not considered this possibility at all. He had always thought that Xiyuan could marry Young Master Nangong. However, Mrs. Nangongs words had given them a shocking slap in the face.
It was not that becoming Mrs. Nangongs goddaughter was a bad thing. It was just that if Xiyuan really became Mrs. Nangongs goddaughter, it would likely eliminate any possibility between her and Young Master Nangong.
Lin Wanqin was as shocked as Ye Li. After hearing Murong Yanshu’s words, she reflexively looked at Ye Xiyuan. Sure enough, she saw Ye Xiyuan’s face darken slightly because of what Murong Yanshu had said.
“What do you think of my suggestion?”
Murong Yanshu didn’t seem to notice the change in their expressions as she continued to speak enthusiastically, “I’m not doing this to snatch your daughter away from you. I just want someone else to love her too.” “As her parents, I’m sure you won’t refuse such a request!”
For a moment, Ye Li and Lin Wanqin didn’t know how to respond.
When she saw them fall silent, Murong Yanshu’s expression changed slightly. She continued, “What? Do you think I’m not qualified to be Xiyuan’s godmother?”
“There’s no such thing.” Sensing Murong Yanshu’s displeasure, Ye Li hurried
to explain, “It’s her good fortune that you care for Xiyuan.” It’s just… Ultimately, Xiyuan’s opinion is the most important. As her parents, we can’t interfere with her decision.’
“Yes, that’s right!” Lin Wanqin quickly agreed, “Xiyuan’s opinion is still the most important.”
“You’re right.” Murong Yanshu nodded, then looked at Ye Xiyuan with a smile and said, “Xiyuan, what do you think? You’ve already considered it for several days now. What have you decided?”
Instantly, everyone’s eyes were focused on Ye Xiyuan.
For a moment, Ye Xiyuan felt pressured. The smile on her face seemed forced. “Auntie, it’s an honor that you want to accept me as your goddaughter.
However, I feel you should consider this matter carefully first. What about Mr. Nangong? Does he agree with your decision? If you end up fighting because of me, that wouldn’t be good..”
