82 You Can’t Throw Me Out! (1/2)
Madam Su looked up from the book she had been reading. ”Who could this be? Is Guanting expecting someone?” She immediately frowned when she thought of that. ”Hmph. You dared to slap my baby. Watch me ruin whatever you were up to!” She placed the book down, stood up and smoothed out her clothes. Then, she gracefully walked to the door and opened with a professional smile.
Su Yan froze. His mother … looked somehow scary. He instantly hid behind Nie Chang and only peeked past his shoulder. Had his mother already found out and wanted to rip him apart now? He didn't want to! His mother was just too fierce!
Madam Su paused. Uh? It seemed the one who had rung the bell wasn't someone who wanted to see that damned husband of hers but her child and … his boyfriend instead?
She took a measuring look at Nie Chang. Seeing that they had come together could it be that her potential future son-in-law had already turned into her definite future son-in-law? Ah, this was nice!
The professional smile on her lips became a genuine one. ”What are you two doing outside the door? Come on in!” She opened the door wider and grabbed Nie Chang by the arm, pulling him in.
Since her son was still afraid to get inside she used the opportunity to pull Nie Chang closer and ask for details. ”Have you done it already?”
”Not yet.” Nie Chang had no qualms to admit to it in front of his future mother-in-law. Even if he had eaten Su Yan's tofu he would still tell her. After all, she had already proven that she wanted them to be together with her call yesterday.
”Why?”
Nie Chang masked his laughter with a cough. Didn't she sound a bit too eager? It was as if she wanted to sell her son to him. ”He's afraid we'd break up if we did it so soon.”
”What soon? You've been chasing him for so long! Why did you just comply with that?”
Nie Chang looked back at Su Yan who gingerly stepped into the hall and closed the door behind him as quiet as possible. ”How could I not? I always get weak in front of that gaze.” In fact, just thinking about how Su Yan had looked at him he would promise it again.
Madam Su watched the expression on her future son-in-law's face and nodded with satisfaction. ”Good, good. I haven't chosen you in vain. A good husband should know how to obey his wife.”
Nie Chang smiled wryly. A son-in-law was good but a real son was still preferred it seemed. Ah, well, he hadn't expected anything less. Madam Su just doted on her son this much.
Right when he was thinking that Madam Su had already stopped paying attention to him and turned toward her son. ”Ah Yan! What are you doing back there? Don't you want to see your mother?”
Su Yan pursed his lips. He really wanted to see her. Actually, he wanted to be hugged right now before he told her. After all, who knew if she'd ever hug him again? What if he was only left with Nie Chang after this? Ah, would his mother take him back if he abandoned Nie Chang?
He shook his head. No, no! He couldn't do that! Nie Chang had chased him for so long and he hadn't noticed. He had really hurt him. He couldn't be his boyfriend for a day and then cruelly dump him again.
Madam Su frowned. ”What's with you? Shaking your head like this! You really don't want to see me?”
Su Yan looked up at his mother and panicked. He rushed forward and threw himself into her arms, tearing up immediately. ”I'm sorry!”
”Ah?” Even Madam Su who had a sixth sense that always told her what her son was going on about had no idea what this was supposed to mean. Thankfully, there was someone to look to now!
She patted her baby's back, turned her head and leveled her potential son-in-law with a death glare.
Nie Chang gulped. He somehow felt that his mother-in-law was just reconsidering if she was alright with this relationship. It was as if her eyes said: If I find out that my baby is crying because of you, you won't be getting out of this house alive. And even if you do I'll make sure you won't be unscathed!
He suddenly understood why Su Guanting was afraid of her and never dared to do anything that might piss her off. Well, at least not as long as his son didn't anger him too much. And even if he lost his temper at Su Yan he was intelligent enough to stay away for a few days before he returned and groveled at his wife's feet.
