Chapter 574 - starting to fall in love? (2/2)

In actual sense, she was also a random girl. It was just out of luck that they got along.

If anyone were to ask her to compare Mu Zhichen to Xu Tang right now, she would say that Mu Zhichen would make a better husband. She didn't regret leaving Xu Tang and meeting Mu Zhichen.

That was right. She didn't ever think it would come to such a point one day but that's just how fate twisted it.

After speaking to her mother, she took the invitation cards and went to her room, closed the door and gave Mu Zhichen a call.

”Yo, Uncle Zhichen. How can you not tell me something as important as our engagement party being organized?”

Mu Zhichen burst into laughter.

”Why are you laughing?”

”You really meant it when you said you would call me 'uncle'. I didn't tell you about the party because I wanted to give you a surprise. I forgot to tell Uncle and Aunty Lu to keep it a secret for now.”

”You...”

”Is that Meili? Let me speak to her.” An enthusiastic voice was heard on the other side.

”Mother, calm down. Don't scare Meili away. You will meet soon.” Mu Zhichen's voice was restrained, as though afraid she would hear.

However, Mu Zhichen's mother sounded even more aggrieved. ”You punk! You won't let me say hi to my daughter-in-law. Are you picking on me because you think I'm weak?”

Lu Meili tittered. She had expected Mu Zhichen's family to be a huddle of serious people. Such playfulness was unexpected. ”Mu Zhichen, it's your mother? Let me say hi to her.”

Mu Zhichen helplessly gave the phone to the middle-aged woman throwing a tantrum.

She was so happy she could melt. ”Meili, my dear, hello.”

Lu Meili was pleased by the friendly greeting. ”Hello aunty.”

”Good girl. It's only a few days before you have to stop calling me 'aunty' and start calling me 'mother'.”

Aside from this and a few more words, the women didn't know what to talk about. So Mrs. Mu changed the topic. ”Meili, your betrothal gifts will be brought to your home tomorrow. I hope you will be free to recieve them.” She spoke in the gentlest manner possible, afraid of scaring her daughter-in-law away.

Lu Meili appreciated her kindness. ”I will stay at home tomorrow.”
