Free Web NovelChapter 955: Chapter 964: ’Surprise’ (10)
Ever since the incident a few years back with Qiao Mo, it seemed as if Fu Nancheng had been cursed.
His hair turned white with worry.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, he suddenly gained two great-grandchildren. How could he not be happy?
As for Aunt Fu Qingrou, she still wore a stern face, clearly harboring quite a grudge against Qiao Mo.
Fu Qingrou watched Fu Nancheng and Qiao Mo respectfully toast the old man, then walked directly to another table, thoroughly ignoring them.
Immediately, Fu Qingrou’s face turned a few shades greener: "Boy, stop right there!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Fu Nancheng paused slightly in his steps, holding Qiao Mo, and turned around: "Aunt, is there something you need?"
"Do you even understand the meaning of respecting your elders and teachers? Do you even acknowledge me as your aunt!"
Qiao Mo remained silent, still somewhat fearful of Fu Qingrou, since she hadn’t left her with a good impression in the past.
"I thought Aunt didn’t want to see me and Xiao Mo." Fu Nancheng spoke lightly.
Fu Qingrou’s face became even more unpleasant. Without her knowledge, he had Qingxue trick her into coming here, but after she came, he thoroughly ignored her. Did he really think she wasn’t aware of his little scheme?
Seeing her silence, Fu Nancheng led Qiao Mo to leave.
"Stop."
Fu Qingrou’s face was livid as she spoke again, drawing quite a few eyes.
Qiao Mo looked at Fu Nancheng, somewhat at a loss.
He said straightforwardly: "If Aunt doesn’t like Xiao Mo, we can avoid showing up in front of you in the future. However, from now on, I will no longer let Xiao Mo be subjected to anyone’s disapproval, even my own."
Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, not expecting him to say such things.
But she knew that Fu Qingrou actually held a different significance to him.
Having been hurt by past affections, Fu Qingrou never truly believed in love. When she first found out about Fu Nancheng being with her, she saw it as a betrayal.
Yet despite all that, to Fu Nancheng, this aunt was still as important as a mother figure. After losing his parents, she was the one who cared for and supported him the most, and nothing could change that fact.
Watching Fu Nancheng about to leave with Qiao Mo, Fu Qingrou seemed a bit lost, and after they walked a few steps, she suddenly spoke: "Who said I don’t like Qiao Mo."
Qiao Mo looked at Fu Nancheng in surprise, and when he turned around, he asked again: "What does Aunt mean by that?"
Fu Qingrou spoke somewhat awkwardly: "With your awful temper and stubbornness, finding such a good woman as Qiao Mo is already rare enough. Do you think I expect you to find another heavenly immortal?"
Though not a direct admission, it was an indirect acknowledgment of Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo felt a surge of happiness and immediately said obediently: "I’ll toast to Aunt."
"Mm." Fu Qingrou responded lightly, still feeling a bit awkward.
Looking at the Qiao Mo standing in front of her, she sighed softly; she was getting old, and Qingxue and Xiuyuan seemed to have distanced themselves from him as well, while Nancheng had hardly been in touch these past few years.
Seeing the two lively children, she suddenly felt a bit lonely and even hoped Qingxue could have two kids too.
Fu Nancheng smirked, watching Qiao Mo pour wine for Fu Qingrou and said warmly: "My wife is already a heavenly immortal, why look for another one."
Qiao Mo and Fu Nancheng ended up drinking quite a bit along the way, neither able to escape it.
After mixing several kinds of drinks together, Qiao Mo soon felt somewhat tipsy, her face flushed: "Fu Nancheng..."
"Mm?"
