Chapter 290: We Can Talk About It Again When She Graduates

But things were different now.
The thought of someone waiting for him at home was enough for him to want to knock off early and return to accompany her.
As important as work was, it couldn’t beat her.
He knew this very well.
Old Madam held Qiao Mianmian’s hand, not quite willing to let her go. “Mianmian, Ah Si is the sort of person who sometimes overworks and doesn’t watch the time when he’s at the office. You’ve got to watch him, don’t let him work too hard.
“He didn’t have anything to care about previously, so work was all he had. But with you around now, Grandma doesn’t have to worry so much about him anymore.
“You and Ah Si are officially married now, and you’ve come home to meet us. Have you decided when to host the wedding? If you intend to have it soon, Grandma can get a Feng Shui master to pick a good date for you.”
Old Madam brought it up so abruptly, Qiao Mianmian wasn’t sure how to respond.
She was stunned for a few seconds before saying, “Uh, Grandma, we…”
“Grandma, we’re not in a rush to hold the wedding.”
Mo Yesi squeezed Qiao Mianmian’s other hand. “Mianmian is still schooling right now, so we didn’t think of having it so soon. We can talk about it again when she graduates.”
Qiao Mianmian glanced at him gratefully.
If he hadn’t come in and offered his input, she wouldn’t have known how to reply to Old Madam.
She really hadn’t thought much about the wedding.
She wasn’t even 20 yet and didn’t want others to know so soon that she was already married.
Especially not before she graduated.
Although it wasn’t an embarrassment to be married to Mo Yesi—in fact, many girls would die to marry him—she still felt that it wasn’t good for others to find out she was married so early.
Even her best friend, Jiang Luoli, had no idea about their marriage.
After all, she’d once declared that she’d be a career woman who wouldn’t consider marriage before she carved a career for herself.
But now… she’d shot herself in the foot.
She didn’t tell Mo Yesi why she did not want to hold a wedding right now.
But who knew… he’d guessed it already.
Old Madam was just asking casually and nodded when she heard his response. “That’s true, she’s still very young, the wedding can wait. Anyway, this is a matter between the both of you, you can discuss it on your own.
“I’m just worried that Mianmian is at a disadvantage here.”
“It’s alright, Grandma. I’m not.”
Qiao Mianmian felt touched by the Old Madam’s kindness and warmth. She felt as if she was her biological grandmother. “I’m already so grateful that you’re all so nice to me. I’m not at a disadvantage at all.”
“That’s good.” Old Madam patted her on the head, treating her like her own granddaughter. “But you’re now the official Second Young Madam of the Mo family. Even without a wedding, we should hold a banquet of sorts.
“We just have to invite people who are closer to us, how’s that? I’ve such a good granddaughter-in-law, it will be a torture if I have to hide her from everyone.
“Also, how about you ask your family when they’d have the time to have a meal with us?”
Old Madam’s requests weren’t overboard at all.
Although Qiao Mianmian had never thought of having the Qiao family meet the Mo family, she couldn’t find any valid reason to reject her.
