The silence in the living room lasted a full minute.

Mo Chenyan sat there expressionlessly with his legs crossed. Coldness was written all over that handsome face.

Zhu Meiying looked at him as if she was seeing a weirdo. This young brat had always worried his grandparents. While 29 wasn’t a ridiculous age to be unmarried, it was odd to not be attached at all.

But now what? She was his wife?

Second Grandson was married?!

Old Madam was still in a state of disbelief. She was about to grab her partner’s hand when he reached for the clean ashtray and hurled it. He yelled, “Brat, what nonsense are you speaking?”

Banxia felt as if her heart was lodged in her throat. “Mo Chenyan…”

She quietly called out to him when she noticed that he’d caught the ashtray in his hand. His features softened as he turned to face her. “It’s fine, don’t worry. Grandpa is often like this. It’s his way of loving the younger generation.”

Banxia’s jaw dropped. His way of loving… was starkly different from others.

Mo Chenyan placed the ashtray back on the table expressionlessly. “Grandpa, you’ve scared my woman.”

Everyone went quiet once again.

Chief Mo was just about to throw a cushion at him when Old Madam grabbed him. “Old Man!”

Zhu Meiying held him back and took a deep breath before breaking into a smile. “Miss Ye, apologies, we’ve embarrassed ourselves. Old Master doesn’t have anything against you, it’s just that this brat over here has been worrying us for a long time. He’s always speaking nonsense…”

Banxia was about to say something when Mo Chenyan spoke up. “Grandma, I’m not uttering nonsense.”

He spoke calmly before tossing a little red booklet onto the table.

The words Certificate of Marriage stared back at them.

Chief Mo widened his eyes…

They were really married.

He leaned back and shut his eyes for a moment.

Banxia saw that his expression was a lot softer than before. Although he wasn’t smiling, he looked significantly less stern.

Chief Mo then turned to glare at Mo Chenyan and sneered. “You didn’t even think of informing your family about something as important as your marriage? Does it kill you to let us know in advance? Huh?”

So it seemed like Mo Chenyan’s harsh words were inherited.

Banxia looked at the Old Chief, as well as the Old Madam who was smiling at her while sizing her up. She heaved a sigh of relief.

She had been so afraid that they’d not like her.

But now it seemed like these elderly were simply candid and expressive. They weren’t difficult to please or get along with.

“Grandpa.” Mo Chenyan frowned and spoke solemnly, “Weren’t you the one who taught me to always make the first move to assert my dominance? If I waited any longer, this granddaughter-in-law of yours would’ve run away.”

“Young brat, are you talking back at me?”

A white cushion flew in his direction.

This time, Mo Chenyan did not evade it. Old Master had anger to vent, it was better that he did it this way.

“I wouldn’t dare.”

“You wouldn’t? But you just did.”

Everyone went quiet once again.

Zhu Meiying glared at the both of them. “Are you both done yet? Our granddaughter-in-law has come for the first time and you’re embarrassing yourselves this way.”

“Banxia…” Zhu Meiying turned towards her and smiled. “Second Grandson isn’t too sensible. Our Mo Family hasn’t been too polite throughout this time. Why don’t you check with your parents when it’s convenient for us to pay them a visit?”

Old Madam did not ask what her parents’ occupations were, and Banxia knew that she wasn’t the sort to discriminate against others based on family backgrounds. But her family… was a little different.

“Grandma, actually, between Mo Chenyan and I…”

A rough hand grabbed her out of the blue. Mo Chenyan did not want her to go on.

“Grandma, Banxia’s family situation is a little unique. We’ll talk about this again later.”

Old Madam was a little stunned, but she quickly recovered and nodded smilingly. “Alright, alright. Are you having dinner here today?”

Mo Chenyan simply went “Mm”.

Old Madam then held onto Banxia and asked a little more about her. Banxia felt a little ashamed, as she discovered during the conversation that she was someone without much… Just like what she told Mo Chenyan before, they were actually an incompatible pair.

But it was comforting that Old Madam did not mind it. She spoke kindly, holding her hand.

…

Aunt Zhang prepared dinner and called them to the table. The four of them then got off the couch and moved to the dining table, with Mo Chenyan carrying Banxia behind.

Mo Chenyan had only taken two steps when he stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

She looked up at him in confusion. Her eyes looked so innocent and adorable.

Mo Chenyan lifted her head slightly and gave her a peck on the forehead.

This was probably the first time he really kissed her.

Banxia’s lashes fluttered for a bit as she was stuck in the state of enchantment. He whispered by her ear, “Mrs. Mo doesn’t need a powerful family background. Ye Banxia, your husband can support you, mm?”

Banxia was slightly shocked by his words.

When she looked up at him again, he had continued walking to the dining hall.

“Banxia, here. Sit beside Grandma.” Old Madam called out to her the moment they were at the table.

She then glanced at Mo Chenyan. She knew full well that it was because of Banxia’s injury, but still decided to mock him. “Why are you holding her so tightly? Are you afraid that Grandma will eat her up?”

Chief Mo glanced at him too and sneered.

Banxia blushed immediately and quickly patted his arm, getting him to put her down.

Old Madam looked at her grandson smugly.

“Banxia, come, eat more. This is your home in the future, so don’t stand on ceremony with Grandpa and me. Got it?” She smiled and scooped some dishes into Banxia’s bowl.

“Thank you, Grandma. I got it.” Banxia nodded and smiled sweetly.

“Yo, Second Grandson is back, and nobody told me?”

A cheeky male voice could be heard from the door.
