Chapter 384: First Night of Love (2/2)

”It's true. Think about it; our tactics are the same as Li Feng and Zhou Zhi's. We just need more experiments to prove it.” Wang Tong said as he cracked a smile.

Ma Xiaoru nodded. Deep down, she was ready to agree with whatever Wang Tong would say from then on.

It wasn't until breakfast that Ma Xiaoru mentioned that her mother was also on the Moon.

”Let's go see my mom together. I was supposed to go home last night...You know how she is...” Ma Xiaoru paused, wondering if she should continue.

Wang Tong understood Ma Xiaoru's concern, and he felt that there was no point in hiding anything from Wu Xin. He was unable to hide anything even if he wanted to anyways.

”Ok, let's go meet the in-laws.”

”Who is your in-laws?”

”Your mom!”

Although Wang Tong had anticipated this moment, he was unnerved by its possible consequences. Wang Tong wanted to see Ma Xiaoru happy. However, if her mom were strongly against their relationship, he would be stuck in a very tough position. Nevertheless, Wang Tong conceded that he had no way out.

Wang Tong and Ma Xiaoru were greeted by the butler's ingratiating smile. ”Ma'am is in the living room.”

Xiaoru pulled Wang Tong closer to her; she was more nervous than Wang Tong, as she was worried that her mom still held prejudice against Wang Tong.

However, she was adamant that she would spend the rest of her life with Wang Tong, regardless of what others might think.

The two plodded into the living room, and Wang Tong saw Wu Xin relaxed on the sofa, reading a newspaper without any sign of distress. Realization suddenly downed upon Wang Tong that Wu Xin had already acquiesced their action—it was time to cement his relationship with Ma Xiaoru.

Wang Tong closed in with a few bold strides and bowed deeply to Wu Xin ”Nice to meet you Mother in law. I wish you a nice day!”

An amused grunt escaped Wu Xin's mouth and then she said, ”Who the heck is your in-law? You don't feel shame, do you?”

”Mother in law, I promise I will look after Xiaoru. ”Wang Tong announced sincerely.

”Mom! Don't talk to him like that!” Ma Xiaoru complained.

Wu Xin rolled her eyes at her daughter and then said, ”I didn't do anything yet! Wang Tong, since you had taken her first night, I hereby announce you her fiancé. You can take her hand the day you claim the title of champion.”

Ma Xiaoru was caught off guard by her mother's announcement, overtaken by joy. She didn't know what to say.

Wang Tong was also shocked. ”Thank you, would-be-mother-in-law.” Wang Tong hurried to reply and bowed to Wu Xin one more time.

”Ru'er, I have something to ask him, alone.” Wu Xin announced. Ma Xiaoru left reluctantly, but she nodded at Wang Tong before she disappeared behind the door, willing him to relax.

After Ma Xiaoru was gone, Wu Xin gestured Wang Tong to sit down. ”Don't be afraid. We will be one family soon. I know that you are hiding a lot of things from us, but that's not what I want to talk to you about. I only want to ask you this… Will you devote yourself to my daughter's happiness?”

Wang Tong had been expecting threats. However, he only felt a mother's love for her daughter.
