Although Ma Rui did her utmost to teach her son who to coax Han Luo, her son never listened to her. She nearly gave up.
Han Luo frequently came here and spent nights. Ma Rui thought it was because Han Luo missed her and her husband.
Who knew that these two were doing unimaginable things behind their backs?
Ma Rui had no idea that they were close enough to sleep with each other. When they were with her, they never showed their deep bond.
'Unless… they have to hide it,' Ma Rui came to a conclusion. 'But, there is nothing to hide. I'd be happy to see them having a good relationship. Well, there is a reason for them to hide from me. If they are going out that is. Any normal teen couple would try to hide it from their parents. Could that mean…!'
The sudden realization hit her.
Ma Rui's eyes flew open. With astonishment, she looked at her son. "Are you two…" she wasn't able to finish her question. She was too stunned to continue speaking.
Mo Yuan only nodded his head slightly.
Ma Rui gasped. She covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes sparkled with a thousand stars.
Mo Yuan pulled the comforter and covered his and Han Luo's body and then closed his eyes. He didn't wish to see his mother's peculiar expression.
Ma Rui was unable to breathe properly. 'Oh my God! Did I just see right? My son actually gave me the affirmation that he and Luo'er are going out. They are boyfriend and girlfriend. It means Luo'er will become my daughter-in-law!'
She wanted to shout and announce to the whole world that her dream finally came true. She felt like she would go nuts in happiness.
She smiled brightly and whispered, "I won't disturb you two. Sleep well."
She tip-toed and hurriedly went out of her son's room. She closed the door from behind and went downstairs.
"Madam, have you seen Miss Han?" Martha asked. She was irritated by the fact that her beauty sleep was tarnished because of the very girl she disliked.
Ma Rui coughed and cleared her throat. "Yes, I've found her. She is sleeping. No need to bother her anymore. I'm sorry I disturbed all of your sleeping."
"No, it's all right. I'm glad that she is safe and sound," Rose replied.
"Let's go to sleep then," Benjamin urged his soon-to-be wife.
"Yes, you people can go to your room now." After speaking with them, Ma Rui flew to the study room.
Mo Zhen was working in his study room. Seeing her wife, he inquired, "Did you find her?"
Ma Rui could barely hide her excitement. "Yes, she is sleeping."
Mo Zhen was busy. So, he didn't notice the tiny change of his wife's tone. "I told you she was at home. She never goes out at night without telling anyone."
Mo Zhen replied without thinking too much, "You saw Luo'er sleeping."
"Yes! But, do you know who she is sleeping with?"
Seeing that she was persisting, Mo Zhen stopped working. He slightly turned his face and said, "You mean… she is sleeping with Xiao Yuan."
He wasn't surprised after noticing the beaming face of his wife. He noticed a long time ago how his son felt for Han Luo. He kept a close eye on them whenever his wife wasn't around.
He noted Han Luo's slightly flushed face and quietness whenever she spent time with Mo Yuan and then met him. It was new to him since his wife never had the word 'shy' in her dictionary and was forward in their relationship. She was the reason why their ship sailed so quickly.
Sometimes, when he saw his son was having trouble, he gave him bits of advice. He was happy that his son found his true love just like him.
Now that they became an official couple, he would ease his worry.
Ma Rui was gloating with happiness. "Yes! Yes! Yes! They are a couple now. Xiao Yuan said so himself. Can you imagine it? I can't believe it. How can my 'North Pole' son melt? It must be the face of my Luo'er. She is so pretty. Her beautiful face must have seduced him. I did a good job giving her all kinds of beauty products. It's my hard work."
Mo Zhen shook his head. "Nah, I think it's quite opposite. It's our son who seduced Luo'er with his honey words."
"Are you sure about that?" Ma Rui could never believe that her son had that kind of capability.
"You have no idea how scheming our Xiao Yuan is. He is only sweet to our Luo'er. He has been pursuing her for eight years."
"Eight years?! That boy! How could he hide it from me? If he told me, I could have helped him," Ma Rui sulked.
Mo Zhen stroked her arms. "You would have made a fuss. He didn't even tell me. They couldn't hide from my eagle eyes."
"Baby, should we hold a party? We can directly make it an engagement party." Ma Rui could already imagine Han Luo in a wedding dress.
Mo Zhen chuckled. "Darling, you better talk to Xiao Yuan and Luo'er before you do something like that. They have their own preferences. And, I don't think they would want to be engaged so soon. Since they finally became a couple, let's give them some time."
After all, loving someone comes with great responsibility. One who cannot take that responsibility can't fall in love for real.
"I think they will do great. Just like us," Ma Rui said. "I can't wait to have my grandchildren in my arms." She beamed.
"Cough! Cough!" Mo Zhen cleared his throat and told her, "Darling, keep your thoughts under control. They just became a couple."
