Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 492: Mom O’s Confession 2

Ou’s mom froze.The girl’s words were simple and straightforward, without any intentional embellishments.

Ou’s mom reached out and lightly patted Xiyan’s head. "I misunderstood you before, I’m sorry."

Huh??

Auntie Ou actually said... sorry to me?!

Xiyan stammered as she began to speak, "A-Auntie, is your next sentence going to be: I’m sorry, but you and Ou Jue aren’t compatible, please leave my son..."

"Pfft." Standing nearby, Chi Cheng couldn’t hold it in. He laughed quietly and elbowed Ou Jue. "She really lives up to being an actor. Have you been reading too many scripts lately?"

Ou Jue let out a soft snort through his nose, his dark eyes giving him a slight warning look. "Don’t laugh at my wife."

Who doesn’t have a silly wife at home?

Hearing Xiyan say this, An Ran naturally imagined herself in the "script" and quickly defended her best friend, "Auntie Ou, Xiyan and Ou Jue truly love each other! You... you can’t do this."

Chi Cheng: ...

Indeed, who doesn’t have a silly wife.

Ou’s mom let out a helpless laugh, stroking Xiyan’s hair. "I’m not an unreasonable person. I know that because of some uncontrollable factors, my temper got the better of me and inadvertently hurt you. Right is right, wrong is wrong—there’s no need for excuses. I apologize for the prejudice I had toward you before."

Xiyan was completely stunned.

This sudden change in attitude left her utterly unprepared.

Out of basic courtesy, Xiyan hurriedly waved her hands. "Auntie, you’re being too serious, but there’s something... I still want to tell you."

Ou’s mom’s tone, as directed at Xiyan, was patient in a way that had never been seen before. "What is it?"

Xiyan awkwardly scratched her chin before speaking. "Earlier, when you saw me coldly ignoring a beggar at the entrance of Times Square, it was because... that person caused my mom to end up as a vegetative patient. For five whole years."

Ou’s mom’s gaze froze momentarily, guilt level +1.

"Um... also..." Xiyan shyly glanced at Ou Jue standing nearby, then leaned toward Ou’s mom’s ear and whispered, "Nothing ever happened between me and Ou Jue. My mom raised me with the principle that girls should have self-respect."

Ou’s mom seemed to hear the sound of her own face being slapped, guilt level +2.

Seeing Xia Xiyan whispering secretively to his own mom, Ou Jue’s face turned sour. "Xia Xiyan, what are you saying?"

Even in front of his mom, it wasn’t acceptable to sneakily talk behind his back.

Right now, Xiyan felt more relaxed than she had in ages.

She stuck out her tongue, "Secret."

"You’re still daring enough to keep secrets from me?" Ou Jue stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and flicked Xiyan’s forehead lightly. "Getting bold now, huh?"

"Ow!" Xiyan rubbed her forehead.

"What’s there to ’ow’ about?" He hadn’t even used much strength, okay?

Ou’s mom glared at Ou Jue. "She’s still a patient right now. Stop bullying her for no reason. What’s wrong with her saying a couple of words to me? Such a petty man."

Ou Jue: .........

Hah, women.

Changing faces faster than flipping pages.

Ou’s mom turned to Qiao Qianmo. "Still crying? What’s the point of crying? Can it undo the mistakes you’ve made?"

Qianmo’s shoulders trembled as she sobbed. "Auntie, I’m sorry..."

"The person you should be apologizing to isn’t me!"

Qianmo bit her lip, her gaze reluctantly shifting to Xiyan. In an extremely humiliated manner, she muttered, "I’m sorry."

Chi Cheng chuckled softly. "Doesn’t seem very sincere, huh?"
