Yan Su kept quiet.
She finally burst into laughter, âIf my dad asks why Yan Yan is your child, you better answer him that way.â
It was now Mo Liuxiâs turn to be awkwardly silent.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If he said that, he might get beaten to death by Yan Lv.
When he got out, Mo Liuxi unloaded all their luggage from the back of the car. He was inexperienced when it came to visiting his future in-laws. He had been analyzing how Nian Junting managed to win Mo Jin over so quickly in the past, and he concluded that it was because had really thick skin and was good at kissing ass.
Thick skin was all that Mo Liuxi had; he wasnât good at sweet-talking. He would do his best though, for Yan Suâs sake.
âUncle, Auntie, I wasnât quite sure what to buy you so I only bought some tonics and health supplements. I hope they come in handy,â Mo Liuxi smiled cordially and politely. âI bought lots of goodies and snacks for our ultra-handsome little Jinjin over here.â
Yan Jin rolled his eyesâhe didnât use to suck up to him like this. He remembered that he couldnât even be bothered to answer him in the past.
âWe donât need these things,â said Yan Lv coldly. There wasnât any warmth in his tone of voice. âLeave now with all your things. Stop bothering Yan Su from now on. Let me give it to you straightâI will not approve of the two of you together. You are way too immature.â
Mo Liuxi simply ignored what he had just said and went on with his introduction, âThe last box is filled with presents and clothes for Yan Yan.â
Yan Lu and Jiang Peiying were stunnedâthey didnât expect Mo Liuxi to know that Yan Su had a child. However, it wouldnât have been too far fetched for him to know either since she had brought him back home for the Lunar New Year. She must have expected him to find out sooner or later.
âThat doesnât mean that weâll accept you even if you have accepted Yan Yan,â Jiang Peiying said calmly. âLook at how young you are. Boys your age are immature, so how can we trust that you will treat the child well...â
âI will treat Yan Yan well, because... I am Yan Yanâs biological father,â Mo Liuxi said enthusiastically.
âWhat?â Yan Lv and Jiang Peiying both gasped. They both stared at Mo Liuxi before turning to glare at Yan Su.
âIs it true?â Yan Lv pointed his trembling finger at Yan Su.
Yan Su nodded. Jiang Peiying said, âNo wonder he looked strangely familiar the first time I saw his photos. He does look a lot like Yan Yan.â
âSo what if they look alike?â Yan Lu shouted sternly, âDid he take care of Yan Su for a single day when she was pregnant? Where was he when Yan Su gave birth to Yan Yan? We were the ones who brought her up. He didnât even pay a single penny for her. He has no right to be Yan Yanâs father. Good... itâs good that youâre here. Iâve been holding this grudge against the damn man who impregnated my daughter for far too long. Iâm going to teach you a lesson today...â
Initially, he had only wanted to teach Yan Su a lesson, but after all that, he couldnât wait to give Mo Liuxi a long-deserved beating.
âUncle...â Mo Liuxi said as he quickly grabbed a washboard from the back of his car and knelt on it. Yan Lvâs cane was frozen in midair, âWhat are you doing?â
Yan Su was stunned as wellâshe didnât expect him to pull such a trick.
âThis is my apology... this is the washboard that has been passed down to every man in my family. Every time my father or my brother-in-law does something wrong, they would kneel on this,â Mo Liuxi said seriously. âYou are my elder, and you are Yan Suâs father. I should be kneeling to show my sincerest apologies, but given the situation, it would be more appropriate for me to be kneeling on this washboard.â
