"When he introduced her to his mother, the same thing happened. His mother didn't approve, and her sister was tired of fighting." Shen Mu continued.
"So, they broke up?" Su Li asked.
"Quite the opposite, the guy decided to break ties with his family." Shen Mu finished.
"That sounds romantic." Su Li said.
"Yes, it would be for some people. To Cheng Xiao it was nothing but pain. She vowed to herself she would not marry someone from a different class." Shen Mu said.
"I think I understand now." Su Li said.
"Did her in laws eventually accept her?" Su Li asked.
"Yes, after they got married, he applied and got a job outside, then they moved. His parents missed him, but he said he will not come back until they accepted his wife. His mother accepted her when she realized that she was going to lose her son if she didn't." Shen Mu completed the story.
Back at the Xu mansion, Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai sat in silence. Cheng Xiao turned to Xu Kai.
"Xu kai!" Cheng Xiao called his name.
"Hmm!" He answered.
"If I give you this chance, can you promise to never break my heart?" Cheng Xiao asked looking at her hands that rested on her lap.
"Cheng Xiao, I promise to never break your heart and swear to stand by your side through everything. I will never let you down." Xu Kai said taking both her hands into his.
"Your hands are so soft." Xu Kai said playing with her hands.
"The girls are going to be so happy." Cheng Xiao thinking of Su Li and Shen Mu.
"Do you want to call them?" Xu Kai asked.
"No, I'll just tell them when I see them tomorrow." Cheng Xiao replied.
"Let's go downstairs." Xu Kai said and stood up.
They walked down the stairs to find that the family was still in the living room. The Xu family members heard the steps and looked towards the staircase. Xu Kai stood there with Cheng Xiao following behind him, but what really shocked them were their hands that were holding each other.
Cheng Xiao saw their gaze focusing on their hands and tried to pull away from Xu Kai, but he just smiled and held her hand even tighter.
