At the entrance of Jiahe Residential Complex.
Xu Xingyu, wearing a white floral dress, emerged from inside. Her face, previously cold, was now filled with excitement.
She was about to meet her dream man.
Ye Chen, the perfect man she had pursued for five years without any progress.
Just when she thought all hope was lost, a little over a month ago, she learned from a friend that Ye Chen had a peculiar fetish for married women.
Although somewhat perverse, she resolutely carried out this plan to fulfill her dream.
Tonight was her wedding night.
Her wedding night, yet she was seeing other men.
Wouldn't any man be excited?
Xu Xingyu was certain of this.
Even if nothing came of it with Ye Chen, as long as she gave him her virginity, she felt it was all worth it.
A glint of excitement flashed in her eyes as she hurried towards the door to wait for her ride-hailing car.
As soon as she reached the entrance, a ride-hailing car pulled up. She didn't pay it any mind, but when she saw the woman get out, she was startled.
"Mom?"
Looking at Xu Xingyu, dressed in her finest attire, Xiao Wanqing frowned deeply and asked, "What are you doing here? Isn't today your wedding night?"
She was utterly bewildered.
The wedding with Chen Mu was entirely orchestrated by Xu Xingyu. She had felt the marriage was too rushed and wanted to understand things better, but Xu Xingyu ignored her concerns and was determined to marry him.
She only had one daughter, and had no choice but to agree.
Therefore, in her view, Xu Xingyu's insistence on marrying immediately meant she was deeply in love with Chen Mu; otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry?
But what's with running away on your wedding night?
Xu Xingyu's face stiffened slightly, and she forced a smile, saying, "Um, my best friend said she's throwing a wedding party for me, I'm going to attend."
Xiao Wanqing's gaze darkened slightly. "A wedding party is for you and your husband to attend together. What do you mean by going alone?"
"It's all girls, it's inconvenient for him, a man, to go alone."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Wanqing's voice suddenly rose an octave, scolding, "You're husband and wife now, what's this about inconvenience? You go back right now!"
"I'm not going back!" Xu Xingyu said urgently.
Xiao Wanqing didn't speak, only looked at her calmly, but her voice was as cold as icy water from a deep, dark pool. "What did you say? Say it again?"
Feeling the coldness in her words, Xu Xingyu felt a chill run down her spine, and countless fears surged into her heart.
Her father passed away when she was very young, so she was raised by her mother, a teacher. Her mother always spoke with an unconsciously authoritative air. Normally, she could misbehave without consequence, but once her mother got angry, she couldn't muster any resistance.
"Mom..."
"Go back immediately."
.....
Ten minutes later, mother and daughter entered the bridal chamber one after the other.
It was called a bridal chamber, but it was actually just a small two-bedroom apartment, and it was rented.
In the master bedroom, Chen Mu was lying on the bed studying his system.
[System starting up: 99%]
It'll be ready soon.
However, the next second, a sudden noise came from outside.
This made him feel a little suspicious.
Someone's here?
Wasn't Xu Xingyu supposed to be with her crush?
Stepping out of the room, he saw a mother and daughter who looked like sisters.
"Auntie, what brings you here?"
Looking at the bewildered Chen Mu, Xiao Wanqing said irritably, "What did you two have a fight about?"
? ???
Chen Mu's brain was already a bit malfunctioning due to the system, and hearing this made him even more confused: "What fight? We didn't have a fight."
"If you didn't have a fight, why would you run away from home on your wedding night?" Xiao Wanqing countered.
Uh...
Chen Mu was speechless, unsure what to say.
But his doubts deepened.
Something's not right. This didn't happen in his previous life, did it?
He clearly remembered that in his previous life, he was so grief-stricken that he fainted until 10 a.m. the next morning. Even when he finally woke up, the room was empty. Where did this mother-in-law come from?
Seeing his continued silence, Xiao Wanqing sighed and said, "You two are officially married now, and you're not children anymore. You should think things through carefully, especially on such an important day. Alright, I don't want to say anything more now. Go back to your room and sleep."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped up and shouted, "I don't want to! I won't sleep with him!"
[Black +91]
"Hmph..."
Xiao Wanqing's eyelids twitched violently a few times.
She was truly furious.
You were the one who insisted on getting married back then, and now you're causing all this trouble.
Can't you two, as a young couple, argue behind closed doors?
Taking a few deep breaths, her teacherly authority rose again, and she said coldly, "I'll count to three. If you don't go back, don't blame me for being impolite."
Xu Xingyu's heart trembled again, her fists clenched, as if she wanted to fight to the end.
"Three!"
"Waaah..."
Xu Xingyu overestimated her courage and underestimated Xiao Wanqing's importance to her. The first number was called out, and she was overwhelmed by fear again, running crying towards the master bedroom of the new house.
Watching her run inside, Xiao Wanqing's expression softened somewhat.
She glanced at Chen Mu and said calmly, "What, you want to throw a tantrum too?"
Chen Mu was embarrassed.
Although he had been reborn, he had only lived to twenty-nine in his previous life, not as old as the woman in front of him.
He eventually returned to his room sheepishly.
[Red +3]
As the two returned to their room, Xiao Wanqing smiled smugly.
But at that moment, a panel suddenly appeared before her eyes.
[Countdown: 7:59:59]
"Huh? So strict?" Xiao Wanqing asked in surprise.
The system mission said the young couple had to stay until their wedding night. She thought she just needed to send them back.
Now it seems they have to stay until dawn tomorrow. If they escape, the mission might fail.
Especially since her daughter has a criminal record.
Ten thousand yuan...
Xiao Wanqing's eyes flickered, finally settling on the key to the master bedroom door.
...
Inside the master bedroom.
Xu Xingyu was sitting on the edge of the bed wiping away tears. Chen Mu closed the door behind her.
Watching him close the door, Xu Xingyu instinctively shrank back into the corner, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "I'm warning you, don't do anything rash. I'll leave after my mom leaves."
"Oh," Chen Mu replied indifferently.
In his previous life, he had broken off contact with this woman for almost five years and had long since let go of this relationship.
He could go for a walk later; it was quieter by himself.
But the next second, there was a sound from the door.
"Click, click."
The door was locked from the inside.
What?!
Wait, why is his mother-in-law more anxious than this "young couple"?
