Rong's mother thought it over and decided to discuss her plan with Rong Shaoze first.
As long as he agreed, she wouldn't have to worry about her proposal being rejected.
After dinner, Lin Xinlan took Xiaocong to her mother's room, and the three of them went to chat about family matters.
Rong's mother took Rong Shaoze's hand and sat him down in the living room, then whispered to him, "Shaoze, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Rong Shaoze asked with a smile as he sat on the sofa.
Rong's mother noticed that he had been smiling a lot lately, always beaming every day, at all times, unlike his usual self.
She had thought that was just his nature, cold and indifferent, rarely laughing or joking.
Now she realized she had been wrong; his lack of laughter in the past was because there had been nothing to make him that happy.
Was his current happiness really because of Lin Xinlan?
Was her influence on him truly that significant?
