Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”
Greet her?
How should she greet her?
They had just gotten together; if she followed suit and called her Grandma, would she appear to be too frivolous?
Lifting her head up, Nian Xiaomu took a glance at her and pursed her lips nervously. Just when the word “matriarch” was about to leave her mouth, Matriarch Yu, who had been sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up.
As she grabbed Nian Xiaomu’s hand, an excited look that could not be concealed appeared on her face.
“Why are you still frozen there? Quick, call me Grandma. I want to hear it!”
Just like someone who had suddenly regained her composure from a shock, the smiling expression on Matriarch Yu’s face kept on surfacing.
She grasped Nian Xiaomu’s hand tightly.
“I knew it! I felt that Yuehan and you had great affinity right from the first time that I saw you. I never thought that he had really won you over…”
“Xiao Mumu, don’t worry. Even though there are many rules in the Yu Family, Grandma is not an elder who is old-fashioned and inflexible. Your family background is not important, and I have absolutely no opinion as long as both of you youngsters love each other!”
Matriarch Yu lifted her arms and hit Yu Yuehan as she said this.
She switched to lecturing Yu Yuehan.
“You rascal! How dare you hide such a major matter from me!”
“Look, you even bedded her… you bullied her. How could you not take responsibility! We cannot drop the matter just like that!”
Matriarch Yu slapped the coffee table and showed the loftiness of the matriarch of the Yu Family.
She held onto Nian Xiaomu’s hand right from the start and did not release her grip.
She feared that should she let go, the granddaughter-in-law whom she had just gotten ahold of would fly away in the blink of an eye…
Responsibility…
The moment Nian Xiaomu heard this word, the image of a serious looking Yu Yuehan asking her if she was about to discard him after making use of him instantly appeared in her mind.
Her cheeks flushed red as she explained anxiously, “Matriarch, our relationship isn’t what you think it is… Actually, I don’t need…” Matriarch Yu had already cut her off before Nian Xiaomu could finish her sentence.
She placed Nian Xiaomu’s hand into her palm and held it tightly.
“You don’t have to say anything. I understand, I understand everything! Girls are generally more shy, but with Grandma around, I will surely stand up for you. I will not allow this rascal to push away his responsibilities after taking advantage of you!”
Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”
“I think that there is no time like the present. Fortunately, everyone is around today—let’s settle your marriage now. Actually, it would be too rushed to get married right away. You two should get engaged first…” As Matriarch Yu spoke on, she had already turned around happily and instructed the butler to prepare the wedding invitations.
Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”
What kind of situation was this?
Who was she? What had happened just now…?
En… Engaged…
Nian Xiaomu felt her nerves turn cold, and she looked up worriedly at Yu Yuehan.
Carrying a handsome and charming face, Yu Yuehan stood there in a calm manner and did not say anything.
In plain words, he adopted a posture that conveyed that he would absolutely obey the arrangements of the elder!
As he met Nian Xiaomu’s gaze, he pressed his big hand against her head. With a darkened gaze, he asked, “Don’t you need me to bear responsibility?”
Nian Xiaomu: “…”
Oh my god! That isn’t the main point right now!
“It’s alright. I just need you to bear responsibility,” he added on slowly.
Right after he finished his sentence, he took Xiao Liuliu from her arms and passed her to the butler so that he could to bring her to bed.
“Grandma, it’s getting late, and it’s time to sleep. We will still have time to plan for the engagement tomorrow.”
Matriarch Yu let out a bright smile the moment she heard this.
She covered her mouth and giggled, then said, “Alright, alright, alright! I shall not intrude on the romantic time of you two. Restrain yourself a little—don’t make Xiao Mumu too exhausted!”
Nian Xiaomu: “…!!”
Matriarch, you weren’t like this in the past. You even said that you wouldn’t allow him to bully me just now…
