Chapter 1000: 986, speaking with heavy breathing (3) Chapter 1000: 986, speaking with heavy breathing (3) Bai Jue looked at Black Jack, as unaffected as a dead pig is to boiling water, âBlack Jack, itâs not easy being a daughter-in-law, Iâm rooting for you.â
Black Jack sprang to his feet, and Bai Jue zipped out of the room in the blink of an eye, sprinting at the speed of a 100-meter dash, clearly showing a strong will to survive.
After finishing breakfast, the two had just sat down in the living room when Mo Xiao came back from a walk with Jian Wei.
âLuoluo, you twoâŠâ Jian Wei sat down on the opposite sofa, lifting her eyes to the two of them, her face a picture of surprise.
Jian Luo thought she had realized the nature of their relationship and immediately grew nervous.
âHow did you two get dark circles under your eyes overnight? Did you not rest well?â Jian Wei continued.
Jian Luo held his forehead.
Oh mother, you take my breath away with your wild guesses.
âWe were playing video games last night.â
Jian Wei uttered an âOhâ and didnât pursue the matter further, only advising them to rest well.
âMom, have some water.â Jian Luo poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
Jian Qing smiled and reached out to take the glass, but the sight of the ring on his hand caught her peripheral vision, her gaze flickering darkly for a moment.
She took the glass, and as she was about to look away, she caught a glimpse of the matching ring on Black Jackâs hand and made a bold guess in the depths of her heart.
Could it be that they twoâŠ
âMom, we have to step out for a bit, we wonât be back for lunch,â Jian Luo said, glancing at his wristwatch.
Jian Wei nodded with a smile on her lips, âOkay.â
Black Jack stood up as well, grabbed the car keys, and they both left together.
It wasnât until their figures had vanished from her sight that Jian Weiâs gaze finally shifted away, the water in her cup untouched and placed back on the table.
âAn, is there something you havenât told me?â
Mo Xiao understood and cracked a faint smile, âYou noticed?â
Indeed, she had guessed it.
Jian Wei turned to face him, her expression remarkably calm, âSo, our son is married too? And our daughter-in-law is Black Jack?â
Mo Xiao nodded.
ââŠâ
Jian Wei felt incredibly⊠complex at that moment!
Waking up one morning to find out that both her son and daughter were married.
Now she had a special âdaughter-in-law.â
The shock was a bit much; she needed time to digest it.
Mo Xiao knew it would be hard for her to accept it right away, so he sat silently by her side, giving her space to calm down.
At that point, Jian Qingâs family of four returned.
âDad, Mom!â
Mo Xiao gave a slight nod, and Jian Qing, looking at the somewhat dazed Jian Wei, was completely baffled.
âDad, whatâs wrong with Mom?â
âWeiwei found out about Luo Luo and their affairs,â Mo Xiao explained.
Jian Qing scratched his head, surprised that Luo Luo and the others were exposed so quickly.
He had thought they might make it through the day.
Jian Qing very calmly said, âQingqing, come with me back to the room.â
âOkay.â Jian Qing glanced at Mo Xiao, then walked over to help her.
Back in the room, Jian Wei poured herself a glass of water and guzzled it down.
Jian Qing patted her on the back, concerned she might choke, âMom, drink slower.â
âQingqing, tell me about Luoluo and Black Jack,â Jian Wei said after putting down her glass, âin detail.â
Jian Qing didnât expect her mother to be so composed, feeling slightly surprised before recounting the matter between Jian Luo and Black Jack, focusing on the key points.
After listening, Jian Wei felt the last bit of awkwardness in her heart disappear.
She took Jian Qingâs hand, her eyes and eyebrows tinged with a bit of guilt, âQingqing, itâs all my fault. If it werenât for me, when you and Luoluo were little, you wouldnât haveâŠâ
âMom, everythingâs in the past, and look, weâre doing just fine now,â Jian Qing interrupted her, speaking warmly.
âAs long as weâre together as a family now, thatâs better than anything.â
Jian Wei hummed in agreement, her face breaking into a smile again.
âSo, Mom, what do you think about Black Jack?â Jian Qing tentatively asked.
Jian Wei raised an eyebrow, âAnother son, well, that should count as picking up a bargain for me!â
Jian Qing chuckled, âYeah, itâs quite the bargain.â
In the afternoon, when Jian Luo and Black Jack came back, they immediately sensed that something was off with the atmosphere.
In the living room, aside from the two little treasures, everyone was present, giving off the vibe of a family tribunal.
âWhat are you all doing?â Jian Luo, looking at the people seated on the sofa, had an ominous premonition.
Jian Wei was stern-faced, âWaiting for you two.â
Jian Luo reflexively looked towards Jian Qing and seeing her nod, felt a sudden thump in his heart.
Damn, the thing he feared most had still happened.
Black Jack stepped forward, took Jian Luoâs hand in front of everyone, and then looked at Jian Wei seriously.
âJian Luo and I are together now. Please support us, Mom!â
Bai Jue bowed his head, his shoulders subtly shaking.
Jian Wei lifted her gaze, looking sharply at him, âMaybe hold off on calling me âMomâ for now.â
Thinking that Jian Wei disagreed, Jian Luo panicked and gripped Black Jackâs hand back, âMom, Black Jack and I are already married. We didnât tell you earlier because we were afraid the excitement might be too much for you to handle; Iâm sorry. But whether you bless us or not, I still want to be with him.â
Jian Qing was secretly chuckling inwardly, her foolish little brother!
Jian Wei tried to keep a straight face, âDo you really like him that much? Is it that you have to be with him?â
âVery much so, I have to be with him,â Jian Luo declared resolutely.
Black Jack glanced sideways at him, his thin lips curling into a warm smile.
Jian Wei instantly failed to keep her composure and couldnât help but laugh.
The others couldnât hold back anymore either and burst into loud laughter.
âHahaha!â
âWhat is thisâŠâ Jian Luo was dumbfounded.
Seeing the situation, how could Black Jack not understand.
They had been played.
Jian Wei couldnât stop the laughter, tears streaming down her face, âTsk tsk, so my Luoluoâs confession is this adorable.â
Rumbles of thunder seemed to roll over Jian Luoâs head.
ââŠâ
Without a doubt, he had been tricked by his dear mother.
âBlack Jack, arenât you going to quickly call your mother-in-law?â Bai Jue teased.
Black Jack kicked him without hesitation, âIâll settle the score with you later.â
âSis, canât you guys be a bit more decent?â Jian Luo complained from the bottom of his heart.
Jian Qing raised her hands, smiling innocently, âThe prank was Momâs idea, itâs got nothing to do with us.â
âSince you didnât tell me, itâs only right to give you a little scare,â Jian Wei huffed lightly.
Jian Luo quickly moved to her side, squeezing out Mo Xiao, took a seat beside her, and affectionately linked arms with her, âMom, thank you.â
Mo Xiao, pushed aside for the second time, struggled to contain the primitive power stirring within him.
Jian Wei patted his head, mischievously saying, âYou did have good taste; the son-in-law you found for me is quite handsome.â
Jian Luoâs eyes crinkled with a smile, âI think so, too.â
The mother and son were enjoying a good chat, but as for the one being called âson-in-lawâ, Black Jack was the only one who knew the complexity of his feelings.
Suddenly, Mo Xiaoâs phone rang.
He pulled out his phone, saw the caller ID, his eyes darkening slightly, then took the phone outside to answer the call.
