The taro ball was slightly hot and it melted in Mu Zi's mouth as soon as she ate it. It was aromatic, chewy, crumbly, and soft all at once!
Mu Zi's gloomy mood was instantly cured by the delicious food—
It was yummy!
"The saltiness is just right… Mm, it's delicious." She dared not give exaggerated compliments, lest making it seem like she never tasted Bai Wei's cooking.
Bai Wei smiled brightly. "If you like to eat it, I'll cook for you every day."
Mu Zi nodded right away, then thought to herself, 'It feels great to be loved by a mother.'
After setting up the table in the dining hall, Bai Wei decided to change her outfit since Mu Rongcheng was not back yet.
She valued this meeting very much, so much so that she even put on perfume after changing her clothes, and brushed her hair. She was afraid that the cooking odor might give a bad impression to her future daughter-in-law.
Mu Zi could not bear to ruin Bai Wei's fantasy…
Judging from Mu Rongcheng's cold attitude, Xu Shihan would probably have to cultivate for a long time to become Bai Wei's daughter-in-law…
In fact, she might even need
Mu Zi rested her chin on her hand as she pondered in Bai Wei's room.
Later, Bai Wei smiled and waved at her. "Come, I'll show you something."
Mu Zi blinked, then walked over to her.
Bai Wei held a red embroidered pouch. When she pulled the strings apart, an emerald jade bangle was revealed. It was green, shiny, and had a good gradient.
Although Mu Zi did not know much about jades, she could tell that it was definitely a precious item.
"This was given by your grandmother, and she asked that I pass it on to my future daughter-in-law. Look, is it pretty?"
Mu Zi could not understand Bai Wei's mentality.
'Are all women in a hurry to become a grandmother once they're at a certain age?'
Mu Zi gulped when she looked at the smooth and delicate bangle, then replied, "It's pretty, but…"
Bai Wei was startled. "But?"
"But it's not enough to be shared." Mu Zi was earnest.
She truly cared for Bai Wei. Based on Mu Rongcheng's wretched behavior, at least eighteen bangles were needed to be shared!
Bai Wei looked at her daughter blankly for a long time before she figured it out and laughed. "My child, why are you using your brother as an amusement?"
Mu Zi responded, "Hehe."
'Am I using him as an amusement? He did not even pay attention during his date and was as if he was walking his dog. He's the one using his girlfriend as an amusement, okay?'
Bai Wei put the bangle away and looked at herself in the mirror to make sure that she was decently dressed before she went downstairs.
She told Mu Zi, "Ask your brother to come back for dinner."
Mu Zi felt helpless. It seemed like adults always liked asking their children to run errands for them…
...
The Mu family's backyard was not small at all.
Since the late elder liked the garden view very much, the backyard had been expanded a few times.
Mu Zi took a look around once she went outside, but she did not see Mu Rongcheng and Xu Shihan.
She figured that they might have gone to the lake since it had a great view, thus she headed there.
As expected, she saw them at the opposite bank of the manmade lake.
Mu Zi did not want to shout out to them as they were quite far away, so she decided to take the trestle bridge.
She kept looking at them while she walked over.
They were probably taking a walk, but unlike normal young couples, they neither put their arms around each other nor held hands. It was rather strange because they were even a few meters away.
Xu Shihan was admiring the flowers and walked in front, whereas Mu Rongcheng followed behind her.
He did not lead the way nor utter a word and was quite impatient. Halfway during their walk, he even stopped to light a cigarette, causing Xu Shihan to feel quite embarrassed. As such, she dared not walk too far, and only looked at the flowers nearby to clear up the awkwardness.
Mu Zi shook her head and sighed.
'He doesn't have compassion for her at all. Such a d*uchebag, such a d*chebag…'
