Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

Mu Family West Mountain Villa

The family ate together; Mu Huai and Chen Lai were both there today.

The Mu family always eats quietly, but today was an exception.

Mu Sheng glanced at his grandson and briefly recounted his meeting with Fang Youxi that afternoon. He hadn't intended to hide it, nor could he possibly conceal it anyway.

Mu Huai and his wife were quite surprised to hear this, especially Chen Lai. She didn't expect that it wasn't her son who brought the girl home, but her father-in-law who made the trip himself. That girl from the Tang family really had a big attitude.

Chen Lai naturally knew who her son's girlfriend was. When Mu Huai told her, she almost had a heart attack. No wonder he always told them not to interfere. This girl's family background was far more complicated than she had imagined, and her family relationships could only be described as a mess.

She had met Fang Youxi twice. The first time, she met Tang Zhanghe at a time-honored restaurant. The two greeted each other, and a pretty girl was holding Tang Dong's arm. She introduced her as his daughter, saying her name was Tang Tang. Little did she know that the girl was the girlfriend her son had mentioned, Fang Youxi.

Another time, at that famous luxury boutique, two or three sales associates helped the girl carry her handbag, and she spent over a million dollars in one go.

Both times left a deep impression on her.

So, the hair tie in her son's bathroom also belongs to her.

It's really a headache. No matter how I look at it, I'm not on the same page as my son.

Upon hearing from his grandfather that he had seen Fang Youxi, Mu Wangbei looked nervous and put down his chopsticks: "Grandpa, did you scare her?"

"Tsk, how can you talk to your grandfather like that? The elders are so worried about you." Before Mu Huai could finish speaking, Mu Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's alright. The young lady is very generous. We had a good chat. This girl is bright and clear-headed, and I like her quite a bit."

Mu Wangbei's face lit up with joy: "I knew Grandpa would like it."

He couldn't contain his excitement. He had thought there would be many obstacles, but it went so smoothly. As long as his grandfather agreed, his parents wouldn't have any objections, and his relationship with Tangtang would finally be settled.

Before he could even celebrate for three minutes, the old man said calmly, "The child is a good child, but it seems that you are not a big part of her future plans. Perhaps one day she will be in a bad mood and just book a plane ticket back to Australia. Her mind is not settled yet."

Just as Mu Wangbei was about to speak, Mu Sheng raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Don't rush, let Grandpa finish. I don't consider myself old-fashioned. That child has been honest with me, and I've made myself very clear today. Grandpa will give you six months. If she's willing to settle down for you, then Grandpa will wholeheartedly support her. But if she continues with the same attitude, going wherever fate takes her, then perhaps she's not destined to be part of our family. Once she marries into the Mu family, she naturally won't be able to do as she pleases. Your future is not something to be taken lightly. A stable family relationship will be a big plus for you. Otherwise, you'll give others something to gossip about. Grandpa respects you, but I also feel sorry for you. The Mu family only has this one seedling, and your parents and I have an obligation to support you until you grow into a towering tree."

Hearing this, Mu Wangbei knew that the old man had lowered his stance and broken his principles, but he felt as if a piece of cotton was stuck in his heart, making it hard to breathe.

"Did Tangtang say anything?"

"She said she would seriously consider it." Mu Sheng tapped the table with his finger: "Let's eat. Your father won't be in Beicheng this Spring Festival. There are also a lot of things to take care of at the New Year's gathering. You'll be very busy. Give the girl some time to think it over. This is not something you can rush."

The implication was that he didn't need to bring the girl home for the Spring Festival.

Mu Huai glanced at his father and had to admit, experience really does pay off.

He and Chen Lai really don't need to worry anymore.

Fang Youxi had just returned to her room after taking a shower when Mu Wangbei called.

She didn't want to answer his call today, lest she not be able to sleep well tonight.

But Mu Wangbei wouldn't give up. He kept calling her even though she wouldn't answer, and made three video calls in a row.

Fang Youxi pressed the green button, held up her phone, looked at Mu Wangbei's handsome features on the screen, and complained with a frown: "Why do you have to look so upright? It makes me feel half as angry as before."

Mu Wangbei: ...

"Tangtang, let's talk."

"I don't want to talk."

Fang Youxi must have just finished showering, her hair wasn't completely dry yet. Mu Wangbei instructed, "Tangtang, be good, go dry your hair before you go to sleep, otherwise your head will hurt when you wake up tomorrow morning."

Like coaxing a little girl, Fang Youxi's newly made decision crumbled at this moment. She really shouldn't have answered the phone; he always had a way of softening her heart.

Fang Youxi said defiantly, "Cover your face before you talk to me."

Mu Wangbei: ...

He sighed, unsure of what to do with her.

I wanted to have a serious talk with her, but she always changed the subject so casually that it was clear she wasn't really interested.

But he didn't dare to pressure her, fearing that she might say something hurtful in a fit of pique and break up with him. So he shamelessly went to Mr. Tang's house in the middle of the night to stand guard, but he was afraid that if he made a big fuss, he would not only lose face, but it would also backfire.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "I didn't know Grandpa suddenly came to see you this afternoon. I'm sorry. Don't go home after get off work tomorrow. Can we meet? Can we go back to our own home?"

"No way, you'll try to seduce me with your looks again, and my willpower is already weak."

"If I can really hook you, then this face of mine won't be wasted. Listen to me, I'll pick you up after get off work tomorrow, and then I'll take you back to Mr. Tang's house tonight. Get some rest early tonight, and don't think about anything. If you really have to think about something, just think about me, and think about your power bank."

"Power banks are strictly prohibited from being checked in as baggage!!!"

Mu Wangbei readily agreed: "Isn't it okay to carry it with you? I'm a qualified product and there are no safety hazards."

This guy, when did he become so quick-witted? He can come up with a counter-argument for every word you say.

"I'm going to have amnesia from now on. Go to sleep." Fang Youxi hung up the phone, still angry, and then turned off her phone.

I just lay down, and then I got up to turn off the light. I covered myself with the blanket; it's so annoying.

Mu Wangbei stared blankly at his phone. His grandfather's words today had left him with mixed feelings, not entirely worry, but also a hint of anticipation.

If he could really push Fang Youxi to settle down, wouldn't that be exactly what he wanted? But he was also afraid that if he pushed too hard, Fang would just run away.

He knew it was a bit fast; he hadn't expected their relationship to develop so quickly, considering they'd only been together for seven months at most.

But how big is Beicheng? He has a girlfriend, but he can't be like Jiang Chengyun, keeping someone outside while his family pretends not to see or approve of it. That wouldn't be a healthy relationship, and it would be disrespectful to the girl.

After finishing the phone call, Mu Wangbei felt a little better and less anxious.

Having been together for so long, he still had some confidence in himself; he didn't believe Fang Youxi would be willing to give him up.

Maybe if we push her a little, she'll actually have to face her feelings for us?
