Yang Xiao, having weathered many storms, was fully capable of controlling his emotions with ease.
Even so, Yang Xiao was startled, almost thinking he had misheard.
"Ah?"
"Young man, what's with the 'ah?' Just answer Auntie's question honestly! Rest assured, Auntie isn't closed-minded. Even if you and my Shi Rou are dating, there's nothing wrong with it. After all, both of you are not young anymore. When Auntie was your age, Shi Rou was already two years old. As long as you two are willing, Auntie definitely won't oppose it!"
Ma Cuilian looked at Yang Xiao with a smile, as they say, a mother-in-law becomes more fond of her son-in-law the more she sees him. At this moment, Ma Cuilian gave off such an impression.
"Auntie, you've misunderstood. Shi Rou and I are not in the relationship you're thinking of; we're just friends, yes, friends!" Yang Xiao finally steadied his emotions and quickly began to clarify.
