“Why?”
“Because my grandfather thinks daughters will eventually belong to someone else, so it doesn’t matter what surname they have.” In this day and age, there are still such ridiculous thoughts. Xu Ke was speechless and after a while, she asked, “How does your mom know my mom?”
“I’m not sure either. My mom called me and asked me to take good care of Auntie Shao. Let’s ask her when she gets better.” Xu Ke casually ordered a bowl of noodles and sat there absentmindedly. Shen Mu fetched a kettle of boiling water and scalded Xu Ke’s chopsticks before handing them to her. Yin Wancheng, with a smile, reached out for his chopsticks, “Brother-in-law, scald mine too.”
Shen Mu shot him a glance, showing slight displeasure, “Who told you to call me brother-in-law?”
Yin Wancheng smiled at Xu Ke, “You don’t know, my mom and Auntie Li are good friends and they’ve always wanted to match my eldest sister with him. So, I’ve long considered Shen Mu as my brother-in-law in my heart. But when Shen Mu visited our house, he unexpectedly fell for my second sister. However, whether he’s the first or the second brother-in-law, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Shen Mu glared at him, “It matters to me.”
Yin Wancheng raised his eyebrows, “Oh, my second sister has that kind of personality, she regretted breaking up with you. I’ll try to get you two back together later.”
Shen Mu responded indifferently, “No thanks.”
Yin Wancheng frowned, “Why? Aren’t you always single?”
Shen Mu didn’t respond but looked silently at Xu Ke. Yin Wancheng suddenly gasped in realization, “Could it be you?” Xu Ke and Shen Mu looked at him simultaneously, wondering what he meant. Yin Wancheng chuckled, his smile sunny yet profound. Xu Ke immediately understood. Shen Mu also understood, his face darkened as if ink could drip from it.
