Capítulo 1595: Chapter 1595 Every Moment with You (6)
Not cooperating at all, their son is at such an age and still not married, to some extent it’s because Xiao Mo’s mother indulges him.
Xiao Mo’s mother patted Xiao Mo’s father on the shoulder reassuringly, and giggled, “Don’t be jealous that our son is more handsome than you. Although you were handsome when you were young, you have to admit he’s surpassed you now. It’s inevitable, after all, he has my genes.”
“At such an age, shameless!”
Xiao Mo’s father gave Xiao Mo’s mother a glare and walked away with a cold snort.
Xiao Mo laughed and followed his mother towards the house.
In recent years as his career has stabilized, he basically goes home for the New Year every year.
Even though his father still loves to nag, the feeling of being home is just different.
“Son, are you tired from driving? Are you cold? Hungry?” Xiao Mo’s mother asked with concern, her eyes full of affection.
“Not tired, not cold, not hungry.”
Xiao Mo’s father hadn’t gone far, and hearing this, he couldn’t help but interrupt, “What about the girl who answered the phone yesterday?”
“She’s a colleague, to be precise, a subordinate,” Xiao Mo said.
“Her voice was sweet, your dad was pretty delighted hearing it,” Xiao Mo’s mother said.
“Who was delighted,” Xiao Mo’s father said, putting on a stern face.
“Alright, alright, you weren’t delighted,” Xiao Mo’s mother said, “Did that girl come back with you? Are you sure she’s not your girlfriend?”
“Not yet, I’m pursuing her,” Xiao Mo said seriously.
Xiao Mo’s mother and father both widened their eyes, dumbfounded, momentarily stunned.
Their son could actually pursue someone? All these years, from little till now, it was always the girls chasing him!
The house once had all sorts of love letters, flowers, and cards, all of which Xiao Mo had disdainfully tossed aside.
Xiao Mo’s mother had helped him clean his room; at first, she was worried about him dating early, but later discovered he wasn’t interested in those girls at all.
Later, it turned into Xiao Mo’s mother critiquing those things to Xiao Mo, “The little girl who wrote you a love letter yesterday has pretty good handwriting.”
“Well, she’s the class representative.”
“Oh! The little girl who gave you a music box the day before yesterday, is she rich?”
“Mm, her dad’s a nouveau riche.”
Xiao Mo’s mother thought that after he went to college, he’d quickly have a girlfriend, but having seen so many girls, he’s become picky and doesn’t like anyone, let alone have a girlfriend.
They had never seen Xiao Mo pursue a girl, nor could they imagine what Xiao Mo pursuing a girl would be like.
Wouldn’t he scare her away?!
Xiao Mo glanced at them, nonchalantly saying, “Can’t I? Surprised?”
“Quite a… pleasant surprise…” Xiao Mo’s mother quickly reacted.
Xiao Mo’s father was discontented and shouted, “How come you ended up pursuing someone, is she really pretty, or is her family well-off?”
“Neither,” Xiao Mo sat down.
The housekeeper took Xiao Mo’s coat and brewed tea for them all.
“Then why the hell are you pursuing her, I didn’t force you, don’t lower your worth,” Xiao Mo’s father said discontentedly.
Xiao Mo’s mother gave Xiao Mo’s father a disdainful look, “How does pursuing a girl lower one’s worth? You and your old-fashioned thinking, when will you change!”
“That won’t do, my son is so outstanding, girls are supposed to chase after him, what’s with him chasing others? Seems like this girl is quite proud…” Xiao Mo’s father said.
“Weren’t you just saying you didn’t want to see me, now you suddenly think I’m great,” Xiao Mo laughed.
Xiao Mo’s mother peeled a few nuts for Xiao Mo, “Don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense, just go with the flow. Tell mom, what kind of girl is she, got a picture? How old is she? Your subordinate? Do I know her?”
“Is it Jiajia?” Xiao Mo’s father interjected.
Theoretically speaking, Yao Jia was also Xiao Mo’s subordinate.
Xiao Mo’s father had been busy with company accounts lately and hadn’t had time to pay attention to this matter.
But he heard from Yao Jia’s dad that Xiao Mo had transferred Yao Jia to a branch as a manager, seemed quite concerned about her.
It’s possible he brought Yao Jia back along the way.
“It’s not Yao Jia,” Xiao Mo said openly, “As for the rest, I’ll talk when she actually agrees to be my girlfriend.”
“It’s not Jiajia?” Xiao Mo’s father raised his eyes, “Is there someone better than Jiajia? But from what you said, this girl hasn’t agreed to be your girlfriend? How long have you been after her?”
“Dad, this isn’t your business, just drink your wine, isn’t Uncle Zhang next door looking for you to play mahjong?”
“Your dad was waiting for you to come back, didn’t even play mahjong!” Xiao Mo’s mother laughed.
“Who was waiting for him, who wants to see him,” Xiao Mo’s father cracked melon seeds, not admitting it.
Xiao Mo’s mother laughed, her eyes squinted into a line, the old man just had a stubborn mouth.
He’d been looking forward to it every day, always nagging, but when he saw him, it was all kinds of disdain.
“What do you want to eat tonight, I’ll cook,” Xiao Mo offered.
Xiao Mo’s mother wore a surprised expression, “Son, when did you learn to cook? Isn’t your kitchen unused for years?”
Xiao Mo’s father thought quickly and suspiciously asked, “Could it be to woo your girlfriend?”
“Don’t want to eat? Then I won’t cook,” Xiao Mo teased.
“My son hasn’t cooked before, yes, yes, yes, show me two dishes,” Xiao Mo’s mother happily looked at Xiao Mo, “However, your dad and I are picky eaters, passing might be hard.”
“Don’t worry, you’ll definitely like it,” Xiao Mo confidently said.
Xiao Mo’s mother has always had confidence in her son, so she never really managed him too much.
Moreover, she deeply understands her son’s character, temper, and morality, he wouldn’t act out recklessly.
However, she and Xiao Mo’s father were both puzzled; how did their son, who never lifted a finger in the kitchen, suddenly know how to cook?
Such actions are easily understood; he must be trying to win over his girlfriend.
In the evening, while Xiao Mo was in the kitchen, Xiao Mo’s mother and father sat on the sofa, whispering to each other.
“Hey, old man, do you notice any changes in our son this time he came back?”
“What changes, I didn’t notice, still so disobedient,” Xiao Mo’s father snorted coldly.
“More handsome, more charming.”
“…” Xiao Mo’s father was speechless, yet again praising their son in a different way.
“Ahem, talking seriously, son seems serious this time, even learned to cook, not for pleasing his girlfriend.”
Both Xiao Mo’s father and mother were experienced people, how could they not understand.
“This girl seems hard to catch, I’ll have someone check her family background another day,” Xiao Mo’s father drank some tea, pulling back his indifferent demeanor, a touch of sternness in his eyes.
“The family background needs to be checked, but don’t make it too hard for the girl, our son is willing to change for her, which means he’s serious.”
“I know what I’m doing.”
“I know you do, but don’t act like someone owes you money.”
“Let’s see what gifts he brought us,” Xiao Mo’s father sat up straight, taking the gift bag from the table.
“Definitely things you like,” Xiao Mo’s mother laughed.
Xiao Mo’s father checked, there was tea, cigarettes, scarves, jewelry, and more, quite a lot of stuff, very considerate.
