Best to have met you

Chapter 15.2-To Read You [and Learn and Understand You] for an Entire Lifetime

Mo Ting was carrying the soup out of the kitchen. He turned his head and saw the people at the entrance of hall. He was also a bit surprised for a moment, but his face looked calm right away. Walking over, he saw the obvious blush on his girlfriend’s face. In an appeasing manner, he whispered into her ear: “Mom and dad like to drink Pu’er tea. The cups are in the kitchen, so please go and make two cups.”

Of course, An Ning was happy to do that. She smiled shyly at the elderly couple and turned to go into the kitchen.

Mo Ting led his parents into the living room to sit down, “Mom and dad, why do you come over?”

“I accompanied your dad to attend a dinner party nearby, so taking this opportunity to come and see you as well.” While talking, Mrs Xu glanced at the kitchen and asked his son softly, “Mo Ting, if little girl has time on New Year’s Day, bring her home to have a meal, okay?”

Xu Mo Ting thought for a while, “I’ll ask her as she may still have to go to another province.”

Mrs Xu nodded, “Her parents are living separately in two places. Little girl must be really exhausted running between two places. After she married you, it’ll certainly be less troublesome.”

Mr Xu smilingly patted his wife’s shoulder, “Even if she has married Mo Ting, going back to her parental home is still a must. Mo Ting, you arrange for a time for us to formally meet her parents. If you want to marry their daughter, etiquette should be observed.”

Xu Mo Ting said: “Wait for her to come back after the tenth day of the New Year, then I’ll arrange a meeting.”

An Ning carried the tea out. Mrs Xu took it from her and said: “An Ning, when you’ve time in the future, you must come to visit me often, okay? I’ll be happy if you can accompany me to have a meal.”

The feelings Mrs Xu gave An Ning was just like her own mom, generous and gentle so she was very fond of her.

“Okay.”

Mrs Xu was very satisfied, “Then I’ll be waiting for you.”

The two elderly did not stay long. After drinking the tea, they got up and left.

While Mo Ting was sending his parents out, he said softly to her: “You drink some soup first, not scalding hot anymore.”

For a split second, An Ning felt her heart was filled fully by something.

When Xu Mo Ting came back, she had already filled a bowl of rice for him. She was sitting at the dining table, holding a bowl of steaming hot soup and drinking contentedly. Seeing that he has sat down, she also got him a bowl of soup, put it in front of him and smilingly said: “Very tasty.”

Mo Ting smilingly picked up the bowl and gulped down the soup. The house was very quiet, filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere.

“Mo Ting, we’ll get engaged after the end of the New Year.”

A very soft voice, but Xu Mo Ting heard every word clearly.

He put down his bowl, went over to sit next to her, reached out to hug her and said softly: “An Ning, you have to say what you mean and mean what you say.”
