"How... how did you appear in my house!?"

Without even a moment to react, Su Yuqian entered into a furious state and said to me, "Me...?" I pointed at myself with a confused expression, wasn't I already at your house yesterday?

"Alright, alright, there's no tutoring today, hurry up and leave."

I was pulled up by Su Yuqian and she pushed me forward from behind. I was still confused and she even pushed me to the entrance, as if she was trying to kick me out.

"Hehehe..." Su Yuqian's mother suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.

Su Yuqian turned her face with annoyance and asked, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"

"Sorry, I couldn't help it..." Su Yuqian's mother seemed to have truly hit the funny bone, so she couldn't control her laughter. In order to ease herself, she turned her face away and didn't look in this direction.

"I don't know what I did to make you laugh like this," Su Yuqian said expressionlessly.

"Yuqian, you don't need to act anymore, I already know. You're dating Yu Jie, right?" Su Yuqian's mother said with a straight face.

"Who... who is dating him... I can't stand him at all." Su Yuqian blushed at her words and hastily denied.

Although I knew she wasn't telling the truth, it still made me feel particularly uncomfortable to hear.

"Yuqian, I don't mind who you're dating. The key is whether you feel it's suitable and whether he truly cares for you. That's enough."

"I'm still... a student. I don't want to start dating so early, and besides, boys are so hypocritical," Su Yuqian still refused to speak the truth, while I stood beside her feeling quite helpless.

"That's enough... Yuqian, I already said I don't mind who you're dating. If you continue clinging to your own unreal thoughts like this, then I can only treat it as such. Besides, it's too hurtful to say this in front of Yu Jie," Su Yuqian's mother said sternly.

"... " Su Yuqian fell into silence and glanced at me.

Then, as if preparing herself in her heart, she took a deep breath and whispered, "We... are dating."

"Isn't that enough? Just say it out loud. Mom is not unreasonable, she just doesn't want you to continue getting hurt. After all, I am her only daughter," Su Yuqian's mother smiled and said.

"Mom..." Mother and daughter embraced each other, a scene that felt warm and sweet, but I felt a bit awkward.

"Alright... with you like this, Yu Jie might feel uncomfortable," Su Yuqian's mother glanced at me and said with a smile.

Su Yuqian released herself from her mother's embrace and then glared at me. I didn't do anything.

"Mom... didn't you go to take care of your sick grandmother? Why did you suddenly come back?" Su Yuqian asked.

"Your grandmother caught a cold. She took medicine and got a shot, and she's much better now. Originally, I wanted to take care of her, but she couldn't rest assured without you, so she asked me to come back earlier," her mother explained.

"Mom... let's go visit her in a few days."

"Bring Yu Jie along too. Maybe your grandmother will be very happy," Su Yuqian's mother said with a smile.

"No... don't..." Su Yuqian blushed, mumbling quietly.

"Sorry for interrupting your conversation, but I have a request," I said. Now that Su Yuqian's mother has agreed to our relationship, I should bring up the matter of the marriage application. It feels increasingly unsettling to delay it. It's only been a day or two, but I'm most concerned about how Wei Ye is now and Fiona's situation. I must make a decision.

"What's your request, Yu Jie?" Su Yuqian's mother asked.

"Since Yu Qian and I are already dating, and we are also compatible, I plead with you to allow us to sign a marriage application... like this..."

"Fool... what are you talking about..." Su Yuqian suddenly interrupted me, but I ignored her and continued, "To be honest, Aunt, my mother... when I was young, arranged a doll marriage for me and even brought the bride to our home to be my fiancée. It may sound unbelievable, but it happened. She still won't let go now, so I just wanted to use my mother's presence to resolve this matter."I feel a bit ashamed that I haven't voiced my grievances yet.

"Is this...true?" Su Yuqian's mother asked in surprise.

I nodded.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to it..." Su Yuqian's mother disappointedly announced the result, leaving me feeling disheartened.

"Mom, the marriage application is just the beginning; we still have to get the marriage certificate, right? Besides, we are still underage."

"But...what Yu Jie said earlier made me worried."

"That guy is a bit unreliable, but rest assured...I've already assessed him. If he dares to play with me, I will mercilessly beat him up. After all, I practice boxing every day."

Although Su Yuqian's punches are petite, I would undoubtedly be knocked away if she landed a hit on me.

"Well...since it's like this..."

"You agreed?" Su Yuqian was very pleased, and naturally, so was I.

"Well...since you've made your choice, I won't intervene. Just don't hide in your room crying all day when the time comes."

"I'm not a child, you know..."

Su Yuqian hummed and responded to her mother, then looked at me with flushed cheeks. Maybe this time, I really should thank her; otherwise, I might not be able to convince her mother.

Next, Su Yuqian and I signed the marriage application, then I called my mother.

"Hello...this is Luo Meihong. May I know who is calling?"

"It's me...Yu Jie."

"Huh? Yu Jie, why did you suddenly call me, and it's not from your mobile number? Did you change it?"

"I borrowed someone else's phone. I wanted to say..."

"Missed your mom, huh? I knew it...time flies, it's been a month already."

"No...it's just that..."

"You brat...you even forgot about your mom after getting engaged," my mother pretended to cry over the phone.

"Alright...Mom, please let me finish."

"You speak...I'm listening."

"...um...that...it's not what you think...I haven't done anything inappropriate."

"That's good...otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain to your Aunt Chunmei."

My mother breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't want to beat around the bush, so I said directly, "Mom, I've fulfilled the promise I made to you. It's time for you to fulfill your promise and revoke the engagement between me and Zhiye's daughter."

As soon as I said that, my mother's voice of astonishment came through the phone, barely audible.
