Looking at Xiao Yan holding the bedding in front of her, Wang Chen's startled features almost twisted together.
Just as he was pondering how to reject the offer, Zhang Tong whispered with a chuckle, "Don't think about leaving, since my mom has brought the bedding, she's definitely set on keeping you here."
Wang Chen's mouth twitched slightly, "Can't you try to persuade Auntie Xiao Yan for me?"
Zhang Tong first gave a helpless smile, then said to Xiao Yan, "Mom, it's not quite appropriate for us to live together before we're married, right? Won't it cause gossip?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately snorted derisively, "Gossip my foot, my son-in-law living with my daughter is natural and right, it's none of their damn business!"
"But..."
"There are no buts!" Xiao Yan cut Zhang Tong off directly, "Hurry up and heat some water for a foot bath, I'll make the bed for you!"
Zhang Tong stood up, shot Wang Chen a look of 'I'm helpless too', and then ran out to the other room.
