Chapter 125

Never would they have imagined that the mother and daughter would eventually calm down.

Because the bowls of the two gentlemen...

Could simply hold no more!

“……”

Looking at the mountain of dishes in front of him, Lu Xuan's eyes twitched.

He looked to the side.

Su Mo's bowl had even more than his!

The two men exchanged a helpless glance.

That damned competitive spirit!

"Enough, enough, I really can't take any more," Lu Xuan hurriedly stopped Su Yao as the 'dish tower' threatened to collapse.

"Okay..."

Su Yao had no choice but to give up, placing the food in Aunt Liu's bowl instead.

She pouted, somewhat dejected.

She had lost this round.

Seeing her daughter concede, Shen Ruoqiu covered her mouth, giggling.

"Old ginger is still spicier, little girl~"

"You have a long way to go!"

Su Yao was so angry that her teeth itched.

"Yes! Still old—is spicier!"

She emphasized the word 'old' with heavy intonation.

Shen Ruoqiu's expression froze.

She had been careless for a moment and forgotten to organize her words.

This brat had won back a point!

Now they were tied, one win and one loss each.

The atmosphere of tension finally dissipated.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan quickly urged everyone to eat.

"It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Looking at Aunt Liu on the side, she had already eaten her fill.

Clearly, she was used to such scenes.

Lu Xuan was amazed!

Tonight...

Now that they had eaten almost enough, it was time to get down to business.

"???"

Hearing her mother's words, Su Yao's arrogant demeanor vanished instantly.

She looked at Lu Xuan.

Could it be that Lu Xuan had told her mother about the agreement?

No! That wasn't right!

Lu Xuan would never bring it up on his own.

That left only one possibility!

Her mother had guessed it herself!

Just thinking about her mother's profession, Su Yao cried out in her heart.

What a sin!

Why did she have to be stuck with a mother like this!

Instantly, Su Yao became more docile than a quail.

She proactively ladled a bowl of soup for Shen Ruoqiu.

"Mom~ Let's not talk about that, have some soup!"

"Lu Xuan made this fish soup himself, it's delicious!"

She attempted to play it off with a cute act.

However, Shen Ruoqiu not only drank her soup...

But also wanted to continue discussing the topic.

"Mmm! Good soup!"

"However, I still have to ask, can you take out the agreement and let me have a look?"

"I'm very curious about what you two signed back then."

Her smile was gentle.

But Lu Xuan and Su Yao felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

"What do we do?"

Su Yao looked at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan took a deep breath and smiled frankly.

"Auntie, Yao Yao and I signed a one-year agreement."

"And today is the expiration date."

"But I don't intend to fulfill the contents of the agreement."

"In other words, Yao Yao and I are already legally married."

"Even you can't break us up."

Rather than hide it, it was better to be frank.

This was Lu Xuan's way of dealing with it.

"Lu Bao~!"

Su Yao was immediately moved.

She took Lu Xuan's arm,

Standing firmly by Lu Xuan's side, she protested to her mother.

"That's right! Mom! You can't break us up!"

"So what if there's an agreement?"

"Didn't you and Dad get on the bus before buying tickets!" (idiom for getting pregnant before marriage)

"What Lu Xuan and I are doing is at most getting married first and then cultivating feelings, it's just like arranged marriage, is there a problem with that?"

"Cough cough..."

Su Mo couldn't help but cough twice.

This child!

She really said everything.

He looked at their hands clasped together and sighed slightly.

His daughter had really grown up!

Shen Ruoqiu also nodded thoughtfully.

"That makes some sense."

"However, when did I say I wanted to break you two up?"

She looked at Lu Xuan and Su Yao with a strange expression.

"It seems like I haven't brought that up from the beginning, right?"

"I'm just curious about the content of the agreement, is that so difficult?"

Hearing this, Lu Xuan and Su Yao were immediately stunned.

Su Yao stammered.

"You... you don't plan to break us up?"

"Nonsense!"

Shen Ruoqiu rolled her eyes at her daughter.

"We've heard about Little Lu's affairs from Aunt Liu."

"He's a man worthy of entrusting your life to."

"It's your blessing to have met him!"

"Moreover, we're happy to have someone take care of you for us, so how could we break you up?"

"Mom~"

Su Yao's expression softened, and she was just about to be moved.

When she heard Shen Ruoqiu continue with an excited expression.

"Most importantly!"

"This way, your dad and I can have fun outside!"

"We don't have to arrange blind dates for you, and we don't have to worry about your love life anymore."

"Wonderful~!"

(´･w･`)?

Su Yao's moved expression instantly froze.

And slowly typed out a question mark.

"...So being able to go out and have fun is the point?"

Crap!

Give me back my感动 (gandong, moved feeling)!

I'm definitely an accident, right!

Sever ties! I have to sever ties!

Tonight!

While Su Yao was complaining madly, Lu Xuan had already come back to his senses.

He calmed down.

Looking at Shen Ruoqiu, he asked strangely.

"Then why do you still want to see the agreement?"

"If you've already agreed, then whether there's an agreement or not shouldn't matter, right?"

"To find inspiration!"

Shen Ruoqiu looked like it was a matter of course.

Then, she tapped her lips.

She looked at everyone with an extremely excited expression.

"Your story gave me a great idea!"

"Think about it."

"The male and female leads get married, but their real identities are a hitman and a secret agent, but neither knows the other's identity. Later, feelings develop due to various accidents. After their identities are revealed, both organizations force them to kill each other. Because they can't bring themselves to do it, they are both wanted at the same time. The two begin a life on the run, and then..."

"And then? Mom, tell me quickly!"

Su Yao urged.

After knowing that her mother didn't intend to break up her and Lu Xuan, she had completely relaxed.

Shen Ruoqiu smiled mysteriously.

"Then the climax comes!"

"During the escape, the male and female leads actually get married!"

"But on the day of the wedding, the bride dies mysteriously!"

Su Yao quickly asked, "Wow! Why!"

Su Mo was also very serious: "Why?"

Both of them were immersed in the story.

Only Lu Xuan opened his mouth.
