Chapter 36: I’m Scared. Can I Escape First?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Mo was not too tired. He got up after resting for a while.

As soon as he opened the door, Xu Nanjin came out of his room.

“Why are you awake so soon?”

“Where are you going?”

They both asked a question and smiled at each other.

Xu Mo said, “It hasn’t even been an hour. Why are you up already?”

Xu Nanjin was a little embarrassed. She tidied her hair and said, “I’m not used to it, but it’s enough.”

The blanket was filled with Xu Mo’s scent. How could she fall asleep?

Even though she was sleepy, her mind was filled with a lot of nonsense.

She was too sleepy to open her eyes. But she had only slept for half an hour.

At this moment, Xiao Ke ran out and hung onto Xu Mo. “Daddy, what were you guys doing just now?”

“Daddy’s sleeping too. I’m in better spirits.”

“So did you sleep with Mom?”

Xu Mo carried her to the couch and said with a smile, “Why do you have so many questions?”

“Grandma told me to ask.”

“…”

Xu Mo did not expect his mother-in-law to be so concerned about their situation. It had only been a while, but she was already busy asking around.

She turned around and realized that Xu Nanjin had entered the room and closed the door.

Xiao Ke looked at Xu Mo curiously. “Daddy, why aren’t you answering me?”

He had no choice but to answer. “No. Dad has things to do. I can’t disturb Mom.”

“Then should I help tonight? Grandma wants me to accompany her. Can I take leave?”

Xu Mo smiled and bumped her forehead affectionately. “Of course, but you have to be obedient and not let anyone worry.”

She giggled and her eyes crinkled into crescents. “I’m the most obedient. Thanks for your hard work, Daddy.”

Xu Mo suddenly remembered the test report and could only knock on the door to call Xu Nanjin out.

Seeing his mother-in-law standing at the side, he said vaguely, “I have to go out to get the report. I’ll go straight to the shop later.”

“Are you coming with me or coming back later?”

After all, their residence was not far from the night market, so she could do whatever she considered the best.

Xu Nanjin nodded immediately. “Let’s go together.”

She turned around and said, “Mom, Xu Mo and I will go out first. I’ll leave Xiao Ke to you.”

“Just close the door when you leave. Use the combination lock.”

Fan Suwan looked at her daughter’s happy expression and said helplessly, “Alright, go ahead.”

What a silly girl to be so happy to suffer with a man.

Now, she wanted to see how far Xu Mo could go. If she gave him time and he failed to fulfill his promise, he would have to make a choice.

Xiao Ke watched her parents leave. She stood at the door and waved her little hand. “Daddy, Mommy, come back early tonight.”

“You must be well. No other aunt can take you away from me.”

She remembered the aunt who had said she would snatch her father away. How annoying.

Xu Mo smiled and said, “It won’t happen. Close the door and go back.”

“Okay. Bye, Mom and Dad.”

Seeing Xiao Ke close the door, the two of them entered the elevator with relief.

They left the apartment building and took a taxi to the test center.

Xu Mo reported the number and finally got the test report.

He knew what was inside without reading it. Xiao Ke and he were definitely father and daughter.

He pulled out the report, glanced at it, and put it back.

Xu Nanjin felt that he was very casual, as if he already knew the outcome.

This should have been her privilege. Why was Xu Mo so confident?

She asked, “Do you have faith in yourself or in me?

“You put it back after one look.”

Xu Mo said calmly, “Because I have telepathy with Xiao Ke. I feel especially close to her.”

“And you reminded me, so I’m sure she’s my daughter.”

At first glance he found Xiao Ke adorable.

The second the system activated, he felt connected to his own flesh and blood.

He had no choice but to trust the system.

Xu Nanjin’s heart warmed. Xu Mo gave her an indescribable sense of security.

He believed everything she said, especially about Xiao Ke.

If ordinary men heard that they suddenly had a daughter, they would definitely be suspicious.

If they heard that she wanted to get married and that she had no money, they would’ve probably run away long ago.

She suddenly felt that she had to think of a way to fulfill what she had said on the day of the blind date.

She said, “Then why didn’t you believe me the other day when I said I was going to buy you a house and give you a car?”

Xu Mo smiled. “Is your family too rich? You always want to throw money at me.”

“Xiao Ke is my daughter. Of course I’m responsible for her.

“And you’re my wife now. It should be my responsibility to buy the house and the car.”

If he really became their live-in son-in-law, he would probably receive even more.

However, he did not want to be despised. He had to work hard to make a career.

Xu Nanjin smiled and said, “Yes, I believe it will happen in the future.”

“But I’m so scared to meet your mother tomorrow. Why don’t I go out and hide first?”

Xu Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. His mother came over mainly to see his wife and child.

How could she run away?

A motherless child?

He would probably be beaten to death.

Xu Mo said, “Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws. Besides, my father isn’t free to come over yet. He’s on a business trip and hasn’t returned yet.”

Xu Nanjin said, “Now, parents can arrange blind dates. I can just ask my mother to take a look.”

“My mother is easy to talk to. She’s just an ordinary working woman.”

“I can’t. I’m afraid, and I can’t call her mother…”

Xu Nanjin was particularly conflicted. She really couldn’t call someone she had never met her mother.

Moreover, Xu Mo didn’t change the way he called her mother either. She felt even stranger.

Xu Mo said, “That’s fine. It’s the same if you change the title after the wedding.”

He himself hadn’t managed to call someone else’s mother mother, so they understood each other.

And he thought it would be more appropriate to change the title after the wedding. At least there was a process of getting to know each other.

After all, there was still a lot of unfamiliarity between the two of them, let alone with each other’s parents.

Xu Nanjin was still conflicted. She lowered her head and remained silent.

After coming out, they went straight to the night market.

Xu Mo did not expect the applicant to have arrived early. He quickly opened the door and let him in.

“Hi, I was thinking of coming over for a part-time job. What time are the business hours?”

The applicant was polite and looked very young.

Xu Mo said, “The business hours now are short, but it will be longer in the future.

“If you have other things to do during the day, I’m afraid you won’t have the energy.”

After all, the night market was usually open late. It was just that he had ended work early recently.

However, as long as he had the capital, Xu Mo would quickly expand.

So he hoped to hire a full-time employee instead of a part-time one.

Checking his phone, Xu Mo clicked on his resume and noted his name.

Guo Xueming scratched his head nervously and said embarrassedly, “My family’s situation isn’t very good, so I want to work part-time to cover my living expenses.”

“There aren’t many courses at university. I should be able to cope.”

This guy reminded Xu Mo of what he did back in college.

At that time, in order to satisfy Zhu Yumeng’s various requests, he had also looked for part-time jobs online.

Xu Mo asked a few more questions, and he said that there were no problems, so he hired him on the spot.

At this moment, a few people walked in with clubs and fierce expressions.
