Mrs. Shen quickly introduced herself. "My surname is Qin. You can call me Aunt Qin or Auntie. I'm going to be your mother-in-law!" She beamed at He Chuyan, looking more and more pleased.
He Chuyan's mind went blank for a moment, and Ye Yanxi was equally confused.
"Wait a minute..." He Chuyan shook her head, thinking she was still half - asleep or had misheard. After a moment of thought, she said to Mrs. Shen, "Aunt Qin, I think there must be some misunderstanding. I don't know your son!"
"What misunderstanding could there be?" Mrs. Shen glanced around the room. "You slept here last night, right?"
"Yes!"
"And Moshu also slept here last night. Am I right?"
He Chuyan absent - mindedly scratched her head and nodded blankly. "Yes. What's the problem?"
Mrs. Shen couldn't stop smiling. She looked at He Chuyan lovingly. "That's right. You slept with my son last night. Don't worry. My son will definitely be responsible for you and marry you into the Shen family."
Finally, He Chuyan began to understand.
It turned out that this middle - aged woman in front of her was none other than Chen Moshu's mother.
"Aunt Qin, I think you're really mistaken. You see, nothing happened between your son and me last night. We just had some drinks." He Chuyan pointed at her clothes, looking completely calm.
Seeing Mrs. Shen still staring at her eagerly, she yawned and continued, "We both drank too much last night and couldn't drive. So we just got a room in a nearby hotel and continued drinking. It must be a misunderstanding!"
Just a misunderstanding?
The smile completely disappeared from Mrs. Shen's face.
By now, she didn't care about the so - called misunderstanding. Her son had finally taken the initiative to date a woman, and she had caught them sleeping together. How could she let this chance of getting a daughter - in - law slip away?
"How could it be a misunderstanding after all this?" Mrs. Shen started to act unreasonably. "My son spent a whole night with you, which has never happened before. You say you two are innocent. How can I believe that? Maybe... you're already pregnant with Moshu's child."
He Chuyan was speechless.
"Aunt Qin, you..." He Chuyan said helplessly, "How about this? I'll go to the pharmacy later and buy some contraceptives. I'll take them right in front of you. Will you be satisfied then?"
He Chuyan thought that after saying this, Mrs. Shen would give up.
"That won't do either!" Mrs. Shen flatly refused. "If you say so, it means something really did happen last night. Even if you don't want Moshu to be responsible for you, you should at least be responsible for my son."
"..."
He Chuyan was utterly stunned. Was there anyone so eager to recognize a daughter - in - law?
How much of a failure was Chen Moshu that he couldn't even find a wife, and his mother had to worry so much about his marriage? It was really admirable.
"I don't want to argue anymore, Aunt Qin. Nothing really happened between your son and me!" He Chuyan gritted her teeth and said, "If necessary, let's go to the hospital right now to check if I'm still a virgin. Will that do?"
However, Mrs. Shen's eyes lit up, showing a hint of delight.
In today's society, most girls would have had one or two relationships by the age of twenty and would have lost their virginity. A chaste girl like He Chuyan was really rare. Although her son seemed like a playboy on the surface, he was actually very pure - hearted. They were a perfect match.
Mrs. Shen suddenly spoke in a very gentle tone. "But you did sleep in the same bed last night. It wouldn't sound good for a girl like you if this got out. Don't worry. After Moshu marries you, he will definitely treat you well."
He Chuyan almost fainted from anger.
Ye Yanxi, who had been standing aside wanting to comfort her, didn't know what to say now.
She had heard from Xiao Yu that Chen Moshu was extremely afraid of his mother forcing him to get married. Now she finally understood Chen Moshu's hardships. Mrs. Shen would try to marry off any girl who had any connection with her son. It was really terrifying.
Xiao Yu and Chen Moshu then came to the room.
As soon as Chen Moshu entered the bedroom, he heard what his mother was saying to He Chuyan. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
Mrs. Shen was about to say something else when Chen Moshu rushed over and grabbed her arm.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Nothing really happened between Miss He and me."
Mrs. Shen angrily shook off his hand. "Am I wrong? Didn't you sleep together last night? If this gets out to the neighbors, where will I put my face?"
Chen Moshu frowned and was too embarrassed to look up. Could it get any more embarrassing?
He was a grown man, yet he was being treated like he was the one who had been wronged.
"Mom, stop talking. Go home quickly." Chen Moshu frowned. "Besides, even if I want to get married, I won't choose someone like her."
He Chuyan had been watching Chen Moshu gloatingly. But when she heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied. She was about to retort when she accidentally caught Chen Moshu's look. She immediately woke up.
Narrowing her eyes, He Chuyan also said, "Don't say he doesn't want to marry me. I don't want to marry someone like him either. Even if all the men in the world were to die, I wouldn't marry him."
They kept insulting each other, showing how much they disliked each other. Mrs. Shen's face grew darker and darker.
"I don't care what you two think. I've decided on this daughter - in - law." Mrs. Shen said with a straight face. "Don't think you can fool me. I know what you're up to."
Seeing that his mother seemed serious, Chen Moshu quickly went up and pulled her towards the door. "Mom, go home quickly. I've been drinking all night and my head hurts. Is our car downstairs? Ask the driver to take you home quickly."
"No, I haven't finished yet. I rummaged through my grandma's heirloom early this morning. I must..."
Before Mrs. Shen could finish her sentence, Chen Moshu dragged her out of the room.
After Mrs. Shen's nagging voice faded away, the room finally became quiet. Ye Yanxi and He Chuyan looked at each other.
Thanks to Mrs. Shen's interruption, Ye Yanxi remembered why she had rushed here in a hurry.
"Yanyan, now that everyone has left, I'll just ask you one thing. What on earth were you thinking? Why did you drink with Chen Moshu and even..." She couldn't believe that He Chuyan had ended up in the same bed with him. She didn't know what He Chuyan was thinking.
He Chuyan yawned nonchalantly and tidied up her messy hair. "We just had some drinks. I helped him that night, and he said he would invite me for a drink. I was in a bad mood, so I agreed. Anyway, nothing happened. That's all."
He Chuyan stared at Ye Yanxi, looking completely calm.
Ye Yanxi suspiciously studied her face. After a while, she squinted her eyes. "Really?"
"Couldn't be more real." He Chuyan pulled Ye Yanxi's arm. "Don't you trust me? No matter how much I drink, I can always control myself. Besides, it was with Chen Moshu. I really have no feelings for him."
No feelings, yet she had slept in the same bed with him all night.
If she hadn't made this phone call this morning, who knew what would have happened?
"Forget it. As long as you know what you're doing."
He Chuyan felt a headache coming on. She rubbed her forehead with her fingers and reminded Ye Yanxi, "Xixi, don't you have classes today? Why are you still here? Why don't you go to school?"
Ye Yanxi looked at her phone. It was almost time. So she quickly got up, still a bit angry. "It's all your fault. When I called you, it was Chen Moshu who answered. It really scared me."
"Okay, I'm wrong, sis. I'm still drunk. I'll take a nap. You go to school quickly, or you'll be late." He Chuyan pushed her.
Ye Yanxi got up helplessly. "Okay, then you go back to sleep. Don't let this kind of thing happen again."
"Okay, okay. I'll listen to you." He Chuyan agreed and shooed her away. "Go quickly. Let me sleep a bit more. President Xiao, please take your Xixi away."
Xiao Yu, who had been silent all this time, then walked over and put his arm around Ye Yanxi's shoulder. "Then Miss He, you have a good rest. We'll leave first."
"Okay, okay. Hurry up." He Chuyan waved her hand impatiently.
After leaving the hotel, Ye Yanxi got in the car and headed for school. But her mind was still filled with what had happened this morning. She thought it was simply unbelievable that Mrs. Shen had rushed to the hotel so aggressively and claimed He Chuyan as her future daughter - in - law.
"Do you think Mrs. Shen will do this every time?" Ye Yanxi asked Xiao Yu, who had been calm throughout.
This was the first time she had seen such a thing, and she was quite shocked.
What surprised her the most was that Mrs. Shen had even brought the family heirloom.
"First time."
"Ah, really?!" With Chen Moshu's playboy nature, wasn't this supposed to happen often?
"Don't think about this anymore. It's all in the past. Think more about the prenatal check - up this afternoon."
Although Xiao Yu said so, Ye Yanxi had a feeling that this matter wouldn't end so easily.
Ever since Xiao Yu confiscated Ye Yanxi's phone, she had been brooding over it.
Whenever Xiao Yu was free, Ye Yanxi would beg him, promising that she would never secretly keep photos or videos of other men. But no matter how much she pleaded, Xiao Yu remained unmoved. She could only see her phone when he was around.
Even when Ye Yanxi got angry and had a cold war with him, it was of no use. Xiao Yu still refused to return her phone.
Since she couldn't contact others without a phone, Xiao Yu came up with a solution. He gave her a phone watch without hesitation.
The function of this watch was basically just making phone calls. Sending text messages was quite difficult, and there were almost no other functions.
The most outrageous thing was that the phone watch Xiao Yu gave her was a children's model. She instinctively wanted to refuse.
But then she thought that having a phone watch was better than being completely out of touch. So she took it reluctantly.
One day, there was a meeting in the student union. During the meeting, someone called her. The strange ringtone naturally attracted everyone's attention.
