Chapter 526 You Shouldn’t Be so Overbearing
Su Yunjin came up with an idea. Then she asked Xiao Yunyun, “Shen Yuechuan isn’t your cup of tea. So who’s your type?”
“Anyone like my cousin-in-law!” Xiao Yunyun blurted out without thinking.
Xiao Yunyun thought that they wouldn’t find the second Lu Boyan in the world since the only one they knew had already married Su Jianan.
“Mom won’t say anything more about it, will she?”
However, no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Su Yunjin calmly asked, “What do you like about your cousin-in-law?”
Xiao Yunyun smiled and said firmly, “He’s handsome!”
Su Yunjin knew that Xiao Yunyun was talking nonsense. However, she didn’t want to unmask her daughter. She simply said, “Let me introduce you to a young man like him.”
That was beyond Xiao Yunyun’s expectations. She blinked and then shook her head decisively. “No! I won’t love any young men unless they’re either as excellent as my cousin-in-law or better than him!”
Su Yunjin poked Xiao Yunyun in the forehead. “You spoke as if your cousin-in-law would like you.”
Xiao Yunyun felt embarrassed. “Am I any worse than my cousin?”
“If nothing else, you’re not Su Jianan. That’s why you’ll never meet the expectations of your cousin-in-law!” Then Su Yunjin said with a serious look, “Well, stop joking. The young man is my old friend’s son. I know his family well. He has a good upbringing. You can meet him first and then try to start a relationship with him if you think he’s nice. Maybe you’ll want to marry him in the end.”
“No!” Xiao Yunyun yelled without hesitation. “In the past, you asked me not to start a relationship with anyone, and I followed your advice. Now I don’t want to start a relationship with anyone, and you have to respect my choice! Ms. Su, a philosopher once said that a person shouldn’t be too overbearing…”
Su Yunjin thought for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Okay, I’ll arrange it for you.”
Xiao Yunyun thought that Su Yunjin meant more than that. She grabbed her bag and said, “I’m going back to my apartment!”
“Aren’t you going to stay here with me?” asked Su Yunjin.
Xiao Yunyun snorted and said, “I’m afraid that you will introduce me to any man that passes by!” Then she stormed out with her bag in hand.
The fact was that she would do as Su Yunjin said even if she arranged for her to have a blind date.
The main reason why she hastened to leave was that she had to help Shen Yuechuan change his dressing early the next morning.
She thought it would be embarrassing if her mother knew that she would help Shen Yuechuan change his dressing since she had told her mother that she didn’t like him. She left early so that others wouldn’t see her when she went to Shen Yuechuan’s house the next day.
Xiao Yunyun received a call from Su Yicheng on her way back. He asked if she and Su Yunjin had reached the hotel.
“Shen Yuechuan drove us back,” replied Xiao Yunyun and countered with a question, “Cousin, when is your flight tomorrow?”
“At 11 o’clock in the morning.” Su Yicheng asked, “What about your mom? When is she leaving for Australia?”
“She told me that she would go back as soon as your wedding is over,” Xiao Yunyun thought for a moment and said, “She’ll leave in a few days. Take it easy and enjoy your honeymoon. Mr. Lu will help to arrange it even if my father doesn’t when my mom sets off.”
“Yuechuan will help you even if Boyan doesn’t,” Su Yicheng said with a meaningful smile, “I can count on him.”
Xiao Yunyun muttered, “What does it have to do with Shen Yuechuan?”
“Don’t you know?” With that, Su Yicheng hung up without waiting for Xiao Yunyun’s reply.
Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi were in their room at the hotel.
Upon seeing Su Yicheng lay down his cellphone, Luo Xiaoxi walked over to him and asked, “What did Yunyun say?”
“Yuechuan drove her and my aunt back to their hotel.” Su Yicheng turned around and gazed gently at Luo Xiaoxi.
“I just found out that—” Luo Xiaoxi continued with a mysterious tone, “Your aunt likes Yuechuan very much!”
Su Yicheng said leisurely, “Yunyun likes him more.”
“…” Luo Xiaoxi didn’t know what to say. After a while, she said to Su Yicheng, “You won. But, will you say no if Yunyun starts a relationship with Yuechuan?”
“No,” Su Yicheng said with a calm look, “I know Yuechuan well. They’ll live a happy life.”
“Then I’m relieved.” Luo Xiaoxi then suddenly asked, “It’s time for them to express their feelings for each other, isn’t it?”
“It’s only a matter of time.” Su Yicheng gazed at Luo Xiaoxi with deep love. “Shouldn’t you care more about us for now?”
“About us?” Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng with confusion. Finally, she bit her lips while smiling shyly as if she had read his mind. “It’s still early…”
Su Yicheng bowed his head with a graceful smile as if he were going to kiss her lips. However, he suddenly patted her head and said, “What are you thinking about? Change your dress. Mom and dad are waiting for us downstairs.”
Luo Xiaoxi felt embarrassed. She said with a serious look, “I’m not thinking about anything. Your look confused me!”
With that, she ducked into the coatroom to put on her casual clothes. After that, she went downstairs with Su Yicheng.
“Dad, Mom!” Luo Xiaoxi ran to them as soon as she saw Lao Luo and Mrs. Luo, who had been waiting in the hotel lobby.
Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Xiaoxi with love while giving her a helpless look. “What a rash married girl. Be sedate, will you?”
Luo Xiaoxi didn’t take it seriously. She held Su Yicheng’s hand and said, “He’s sedate, and that’s enough!” She thought that their lives would be like daily business meetings if she were as sedate as Su Yicheng.
Mrs. Luo decided to stop reproving Luo Xiaoxi because she believed that Su Yicheng would tolerate her daughter. She pushed two suitcases over to them and said, “Your baggage just arrived. We’re not going to drive you to the airport tomorrow. Call us to let us know you’re safe after you deplane.”
“Okay!” Luo Xiaoxi nodded. Then she suddenly said, “Lao Luo, why not take a few days off and travel with my mom?”
Mrs. Luo waved her hands before Lao Luo could say anything. She said, “Your wedding tired us out. I need a rest to get refreshed. Enjoy your honeymoon and… bring us good news when you return.”
Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng both knew what her mother meant by saying “good news”.
However, Luo Xiaoxi didn’t want a baby for the time being, and Su Yicheng respected her choice. Luo Xiaoxi had always deliberately avoided talking about having a baby, except that Mrs. Luo had occasionally mentioned it.
However, they were supposed to have a baby after they got married in the eyes of the older generation.
Luo Xiaoxi realized that she couldn’t avoid the topic for the rest of her life, even though she could temporarily avoid it.
She cast a pleading look at Su Yicheng—she thought that her mother would let her go if Su Yicheng mediated between them, since her mother had already regarded him as her son.
Su Yicheng immediately got Luo Xiaoxi’s point. He held her shoulder and said, “Dad, Mom, we… will do it as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing his words, Mrs. Luo took it for granted that Su Yicheng also wanted to have a baby. She smiled with relief and said, “Have a good rest. Don’t miss your flight tomorrow. I’m going back with your dad.”
Luo Xiaoxi walked Lao Luo and her mother out of the hotel. She dropped her shoulders as they drove away, and then she turned around to enter the hotel.
Su Yicheng stopped her.
“Aren’t you going back?” The confused Luo Xiaoxi said with a teasing smile, “Are you going to stay here to add luster to the hotel?”
“Why do you want to go back?” Su Yicheng checked the time. “Yuechuan and the others will come here before ten o’clock tonight.”
Only then did Luo Xiaoxi realize that the last part of their wedding was waiting for them—playing in the bridal chamber.
She and Su Yicheng wouldn’t be at peace in the first half of the night if they stayed in the hotel.
Luo Xiaoxi felt as if all the cells in her body were shouting to refuse it. She looked at Su Yicheng and asked, “Where are we going?”
Su Yicheng asked someone to drive his car there, and then he told the hotel manager, “Show them our best when Yuechuan and the others return. It’s included in my wedding expenses. However, don’t tell them that Xiaoxi and I are not here.”
The manager nodded, without asking where Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi would go. He silently watched their car leave.
Upon seeing their car running farther and farther away from the hotel, Luo Xiaoxi felt both curious and confused. “Where on earth are we going?”
Su Yicheng tapped his lean fingers on the steering wheel with a mysterious smile. “You’ll know when we get there.”
The car ran toward a certain direction in the city and stopped at a well-known villa district after 30 minutes.
The city had been at war a hundred years in the past, and dozens of beautiful western-style houses had been built there, where many notables had lived.
At the moment, each of the western-style houses there was worth a fortune.
Luo Xiaoxi remembered that Su Jianan had said that she wouldn’t marry anyone if it wasn’t Lu Boyan and she would buy a house there to enjoy her old age in peace.
“But I’m not so obsessed with the houses here as Su Jianan. Why did Su Yicheng bring me here?”
Su Yicheng saw from Luo Xiaoxi’s look that she didn’t recall anything. However, he was in no hurry. He took Luo Xiaoxi’s hand and walked into one of the houses, then he leisurely asked, “Does it ring a bell?”
“Why?” Luo Xiaoxi didn’t get Su Yicheng’s point at all. “By the way, when did you buy this house? How come I didn’t know?”
“I bought it a few years ago,” Su Yicheng said, “Jianan had yet to marry Boyan at the time. She said that she liked the houses here, so I bought one.”
“Then why did you buy this one?” Luo Xiaoxi felt confused. “There are so many houses here.”
Su Yicheng frowned. “Don’t you remember anything?”
Luo Xiaoxi suddenly found that some parts of it looked familiar as she glanced around the house. She thought back and finally realized—it was the place where she had met Su Yicheng for the first time.
It was where she had fallen in love with Su Yicheng, and from then on she began to pursue him.
Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng with disbelief. “Why did you buy it?”
