Chapter 606: Confiding What Was Inside The Heart

Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales

Facing this particular question made Mu Wanying flustered. She didn’t just like Tang Xiu. It was far more than that, and it couldn’t just be described by the only word “love”. She wanted to reveal what was inside her heart to Tang Xiu’s grandmother, yet she restrained herself and reserved the embarrassment and pride inside her, causing her face to blush.

“I…” She opened her mouth, but the words seemed to be blocked inside her throat.

Qin Changyue’s expression, in particular, was very serious, and she looked at Mu Wanying’s expression before saying with all seriousness, “Wanying, behaving with restraint is all good and the correct thing to do, but if your lifelong important matter were to be delayed because of it, then it’s not worth gain for the losses you’ll have. If you do like our family’s Xiu’er, then tell it seriously to Grandma, since Grandma believes that he’s not a child without a heart.”

Mu Wanying recalled the many female friends Tang Xiu had. She was conscious that she had a lot of love rivals out there, and courage suddenly sprung up inside her heart as she gently nodded and said, “I do like him.”

The serious expression on Qin Changyue’s face melted, as a smile climbed up on her apparently young face. Then, she held Mu Wanying’s hand and said with a satisfied expression, “It’s good that you like him, therefore Grandma will take care of you well. I will not spare that brat if he dares to bully you.”

Despite feeling touched inside, yet Mu Wanying still said, “Thank you, Grandma, but I don’t want to force him. Besides, he just began his studies this year, so it’s still too early. Let us get along well slowly first, then I will rely on myself to fight for it. Please don’t give him pressure, Grandma.”

Qin Changyue’s lit up, she really appreciated Mu Wanying now. Then, she nodded and said, “Don’t worry! Grandma won’t pressure him, but I can’t just stand by doing nothing. Besides, Grandma has a clear idea of what should be done.”

As dusk came, Tang Xiu returned to the Tang Family’s ancestral home. What he didn’t expect was that nearly all members of the Tang Family in Beijing were there. Even his uncle, Tang Yunpeng, who just happened to return to the capital, was sitting on the sofa in the living room hall, all smiling.

“You are…” Tang Xiu looked as Mu Wanying hurriedly stood up from the sofa. There was restless and uneasy expression on her face. He also looked at the rest of his family members with smiling faces, and a bad feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

With a blossoming smile on her face, Qin Changyue waved at Tang Xiu and said, “Good Grandson, come to Grandma.”

Tang Xiu walked to her and asked, “Did some accident happen in our family? How come so many people are here today?”

“Grandson, Grandma heard that the matter regarding your relationship with Mu Wanying was exposed in the club today, is that right?”

What…?

Though he could guess that everyone coming here was probably related to Mu Wanying, yet how could he lay it bare like that?! It was evident that the address Mu Wanying used to call him finally made everyone misunderstood it. He wanted to explain, but he was afraid that Mu Wanying would be embarrassed, so he could only smile wryly and replied, “Grandma, there shouldn’t be a need to make everyone gather and open a meeting just because of an issue regarding young people’s relationship, right?”

“Silly brat, we, as the elders of the family, must pay attention to the relashionships of our younger generation, to begin with! The face of the Tang Family as a whole will be directly affected by the wife you will marry in the future. This child, Wanying, is very good and remarkably outstanding. Grandma really likes her and so does everyone,” said Qin Changyue.

I… AM… FUCKED! Finally, Tang Xiu exploded inside.

“Xiu’er, Grandma wouldn’t call everybody here if the relationship between the two of you was not exposed to others. But the hard fact is that you can be sure that it won’t take long for all the social circles in the capital to know the news that Wanying is your girlfriend. Even if you don’t care about yourself, don’t you have to consider her innocence as a girl and her family?” said Qin Changyue.

“Grandma isn’t what you said is too… too exaggerated?” Tang Xiu forced a wry smile. “How come it will affect toward the innocence of a woman?”

“What you said is just the way it is, Xiu’er,” said Qin Changyue with all seriousness. “With our family’s background, all the family members treat sentiments and feelings between lovers as something important. If the news that the Little Princess of the Mu House is your girlfriend has been exposed to outsiders, then she will be labeled as being tied to our Tang Family and everyone else will regard and treat her as someone from the Tang Family. Now, you tell me, who will marry her if she doesn’t marry you in the future? Isn’t it possible for you to find a new lower and then wouldn’t everyone think that you dumped her? And at that time, will she even be capable of facing others?”

“I…”

Tang Xiu was struck dumb. This problem was out of his consideration before, and he suddenly realized that what his grandmother said was correct.

But… they were, after all, only a fake couple! If this was a set up arranged to force the two of them to be together and, granted he himself didn’t think that it matters, how could Mu Wanying’s family still be willing to accept it?

Tang Guosheng stoop up with a happy expression, as he waved his hand and said, “Who among the descendants of the Tang Family is fickle and irresponsible? Since Xiu’er and Wanying are lovers, they shall never be separated in the future as well. Besides, younger generations will do all right on their own. Let them develop slowly first and, after everything ripen or so they think, then this old man will personally visit the Mu Family to propose marriage and hold a wedding. All right, dinner should’ve been prepared, so let us all have a meal first.”

Proposing marriage? Hold a wedding?

Cold sweat streamed down all over Tang Xiu’s body. He looked at Mu Wanying, who was blushing and had her head lowered. If he didn’t hesitate and care about Mu Wanying’s face, drowned by discomfiture and distress as he was now, he really wanted to shout loudly to everyone: WE ARE FAKE LOVERS!

As dinner commenced, the dishes were sumptuous, and yet Tang Xiu didn’t have any appetite. On the contrary, Mu Wanying, who became a distinguished guest of the family, ate a lot, being cared and cherished by everyone. It was so much so that Tang Ying, who was also at the table, felt sour inside, as she occasionally raised her head and rolled her eyes at Tang Xiu.
