1534 Mom, You’ve Changed! (2/2)

”What's wrong with that? You're my son! Judging from your reaction, I'm guessing the answer's yes. Am I right?” Mischief sparkled in Qin Shuhua's eye as she continued, ”The young man has finally grown up! Sigh. Young people these days are so liberal. During my time with your dad, the environment wasn't like now at all! The both of you are even living together now! How could you not have introduced her to us at all?”

Qin Shuhua looked a little upset, but she continued speaking. ”That's fine too. At least I can be assured that you won't become a lonely old man in the future. This girl seems really nice. Was she the one who tidied the house up? Do you still have hired help?”

”No. It was all done by her. Lately, she has been preparing the meals too. We rarely eat out anymore.” Li Jinnan expression was one of bliss as he said, ”Her cooking isn't too bad. It's even better than what you'd get outside. Try it later.”

”OK.” Qin Shuhua's eyes turned down in a smile as she replied, ”I heard you brought this lady to visit your grandfather. Since you brought her to see your grandfather, why didn't you bring her back to let us see her too?”

”She was shy,” Li Jinnan said.

”What's there to be shy about?” his mother asked. ”We'll have to meet each other sooner or later. Well, look. I've met her now. Or… Could it be that this lady doesn't intend to marry you, and that's why she's reluctant to meet us?”

”Not at all,” Li Jinnan said. ”Why else would she live with me if she wasn't willing to?”

”You know best. However, since you're intending to marry her, you can employ a few necessary measures.” Qin Shuhua lowered her voice and asked, ”Do you use protection?”

Li Jinnan was stunned. ”Mom! Isn't it really inappropriate for you to be asking that?”

”What's inappropriate about that? If I, as a woman, find nothing wrong with it, what do you, as a man, have to feel shy about?” Qin Shuhua burst out laughing. ”You're not young anymore. You should get her pregnant first and bring her home. When that happens, you'll have to take responsibility for her and marry her. That's how you'll ensure that she's yours.”

Li Jinnan was speechless for a moment before uttering, ”Mom, you've changed!”
