Chapter 16 - An Unbearable Explanation_1

Zhao Wanru's impression of Gu Yuying leveled up once more.

Gu Yuying didn't say anything, just smiled.

In fact, when Zhao Wanru called him, he wanted to tell her not to bother, he would leave soon, but, he couldn't interject at the time.

Besides, even though he didn't hear what Luo Nanyang had said, he could almost conclude it wasn't in favor of their daughter.

"Yuying, how old are you this year?" As a mother-in-law, naturally, she wanted to know more about her son-in-law.

Though she had just met this son-in-law, she felt he was very good.

"I'm thirty-two." Yuying felt a touch embarrassed when his age was brought up-

He is still considering how to appropriately address Zhao Wanru, who isn't much older than him.

"Hmm! It is quite old. But doesn't matter, being older means you are more understanding and considerate. Our Xiaoli is somewhat of a worry, so it's good to be with someone older."

Anyway, the mother-in-law finds the son-in-law increasingly agreeable the more she looks at him.

If Gu Yuying were to say he was forty now, she might still say it's fine.

Gu Yuying has come to understand that his mother-in-law is definitely not as serious as her first impression suggests.

However, is it truly appropriate to keep talking about his age?

"Uncle, have some tea." Luo Qingli, who had left to pour the tea, returned.

"You naughty girl, call him husband, not uncle." Zhao Wanru has a domineering attitude when facing Luo Qingli.

And Luo Qingli stays on guard most of the time when facing Zhao Wanru.

She never knows when shoes or pillows might fly towards her.

However, it's a good thing as it improves Luo Qingli's reflexes.

"Mother, don't meddle in this. I have the right to choose whatever I call him! You just manage dad." And with that, an apple core Zhao Wanru had just finished flew towards Luo Qingli.

But Luo Qingli swiftly caught it and tossed it into the garbage can. "Mom, you're so messy!"

"You think I'm messy, your mom. I've been insulted by my very own daughter." Zhao Wanru forgot Gu Yuying was sitting next to her and immediately geared up for battle.

"Mom, don't get carried away! You forgot, your son-in-law is sitting right next to you!" Luo Qingli managed to dodge whatever Zhao Wanru was throwing and called for a timeout.

"Huh …" Zhao Wanru remembered at last and gave Gu Yuying an embarrassed smile. "Yuying, don't mind. We were just teasing. In fact, she is much more ladylike."

Saying this made it even more suspicious than if she hadn't said anything at all.

"No problem!" Gu Yuying was not at all disconcerted by what had just occurred. He found it somewhat familiar.

Wasn't this the scenario when his brothers and him had done something wrong and were reprimanded?

So, he was very calm.

"Really, Yuying, don't mind. Though Xiaoli can be a bit boyish at times, she still looks quite girly."

Zhao Wanru was using what she considered appropriate language to explain to Gu Yuying.

As a mother, she felt it was necessary to speak highly of her child.

Luo Qingli felt like jumping off the balcony. Seriously, it would have been better if her mother had scolded her instead.

This type of explanation was … too awful to watch.
