Mu Junhao bought a lot of things and came to visit his future mother-in-law.
After Xu Lan received Mu Junhao's call, she hurried downstairs. Seeing him taking out large and small bags from the car, Xu Lan couldn't help but say to him, "You're acting like you're going to empty out the store."
After buying so many things, the space in his car was filled to the brim.
While continuing to carry things out, Mu Junhao said softly, "This is my first visit, so I can't come empty-handed."
Xu Lan helped him carry his things.
With big bags and small bags in both hands, the two of them reluctantly carried the things they bought upstairs.
After Mu Junhao entered the door, he took a good look at it. To Mu Junhao, this kind of house was not too big, and it looked old. However, under Lan Siyu's cleaning, the house was very tidy, and the old floor was mopped clean. .
"Auntie isn't there?"
After entering the door, no movement was heard, so Mu Junhao asked.
Xu Lan put down her things first, shook her hands, and replied, "My mother heard that you were coming, and thought that the vegetables she bought in the morning were not rich enough, so she went to the vegetable market to buy new vegetables."
Mu Junhao also put down his things. He heard that his future mother-in-law went shopping for groceries. He felt that he was being paid special attention. He was in a happy mood. The cold and hard lines on his face softened, and he smiled, and said, "I'll come and sit down It also made my aunt suffer, and I will be very sorry."
Xu Lan deliberately teased him: "Then you should not come here in the future, so that my mother won't be tired again."
Mu Junhao: "...I'll tell my aunt later that I will come here often. You don't have to treat me as a distinguished guest, just treat me as a family member."
Seeing that Xu Lan just stared at him and didn't answer, Mu Junhao's heart was hanging. Although he acted calmly, he was still an inexperienced kid in terms of relationships.
Although he had already laid a net to catch Xu Lan, he was still afraid that Xu Lan would not want to.
"Next time you come again, I'll ask my mother to cook plain porridge for you with pickled mustard."
Hearing this, Mu Junhao laughed and said, "I haven't eaten such an ordinary diet for many years.
When you were young, I went to your house early on weekends. I remember that my aunt always prepared porridge for you for breakfast. Your brothers and sisters always laughed at your mother’s breakfast. Like the usual breakfast. "
Xu Lan recalled the past with a smile on her lips, "You always eat two big bowls of porridge with me, and every time you make Xu Qing so angry."
Xu Qing ridiculed that the breakfast prepared by her mother was not on the table, but Mu Junhao loved it, but Xu Qing was so angry that Xu Qing would sometimes eat white porridge to please Mu Junhao, but Xu Qing was used to delicacies from mountains and seas Man, porridge, how can she eat it
"Any news from her?"
The "she" in Xu Lan's mouth refers to Xu Qing.
The days passed day by day, and it has been more than half a month since Xu Qing escaped from marriage.
Mu Junhao's eyes became deep and cold, he put away his smile, and said in a low voice: "I don't care if there is any news about her."
Xu Lan looked at him fixedly.
Being looked at by her like this, Mu Junhao couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently pinch her face, with a little helplessness in his pampering: "Don't look at me with such eyes, what I said that day was the truth, I The person I want to marry is you, from the beginning to the end, it has never changed, what is going on between me and Xu Qing, you are also very clear."
Seeing that Xu Lan still didn't speak, Mu Junhao boldly took big strides and hugged her domineeringly.
Xu Lan's body froze, and she pushed him twice but did not push him away, so she gave up resisting and leaned meekly into his broad embrace.
"Lanlan, do you think that I want to marry you but have kept silent and even ignored you for the past ten years?"
Mu Junhao explained in a low voice: "In the past, I didn't have the ability to protect you. If I said it, it would definitely cause an uproar in our two families. I don't care, but they will hurt you."
"My inability to protect you is already my incompetence, how can I put you in danger again
So I can only endure it, pretend to accept my grandfather's arrangement, and secretly try my best to gain power. Only when I become stronger can I protect you, and only when I become stronger can I tell you that from beginning to end, I The one you want is always you. "
Xu Lan: "...you are so many years older than me..." Mu Junhao couldn't help turning black, and said, "I'm only five years older than you, how can I be so old
Some couples are ten or twenty years apart, but what is the five-year difference between us? "
He let go of Xu Lan, and flicked her forehead again, "Do you know why I ignored you for several days when you delivered love letters and gifts to others
My heart is on you. You don't know it, but you still help others to pursue me. Can I not be angry? "
Xu Lan was speechless.
How old was she then
When he was fourteen or fifteen years old, many girls chased after him. He was five years older than her. When he was fourteen, she was only nine years old. What kind of love does a nine-year-old know
He's enlightened, she's not enlightened.
Even when she was kicked out of Xu's house, she didn't know it yet.
"Actually, I don't know when I protected you as my daughter-in-law. Maybe it's because you have been protected by me since you were a child. You got used to being covered. I think it's good to be covered for a lifetime. I'm even more afraid that you won't be covered by me." Then, if you will be bullied by others, you should rest assured that you will be covered under my wings."
Xu Lan looked up at him for a while, then asked him softly, "Are you confessing your love to me now?"
Mu Junhao laughed again, "You can take it as me confessing to you."
Immediately afterwards, he brought her into his arms again, hugged her tightly, and said in a gentle and mellow voice, "The truth about your father and Jiang Qiulan's divorce was announced. I think you will be very angry and sad. I came here not only Just looking at you, I also want to give you a warm hug."
"Lanlan, will you accept my belated hug
Will you blame me for ignoring you for ten years? "
He has been secretly watching her grow up, and when she is being bullied, he will always ask someone to help her, and when he becomes more powerful, he can directly arrange someone to secretly protect the mother and daughter.
When it comes to protection, Mu Junhao has some doubts. His people have repaid him. In addition to him sending people to protect Xu Lan's mother and daughter, there are other people who secretly protect Xu Lan's mother and daughter.
However, whenever Xu Qing and his brother came to find fault, the next day, Xu Qing and his brother would always be in disaster. It was because another force protecting Xu Lan came to punish Xu Qing and his brother.
Mu Junhao once wanted to investigate that force, but found that his own force couldn't touch the other party at all. Up to now, he still doesn't know who instigated that force.
Every time something happened, the other party acted quickly and the news was very well-informed, which made Mu Junhao feel inferior.
Thinking that he was protecting Xu Lan, he stopped trying to investigate, but he was still on guard.
Xu Lan laughed, maybe it was because she brought up the past and let her regain her acquaintance with Mu Junhao back then, she was not shy at all, "You hugged me all the time, and you still asked me if I would accept it
If I don't accept it, can I throw you out
Or forcefully hug you back
You can save my life by ignoring me, I can understand that. "
