Bai Cheng obediently dressed Mo Yi and brought back some porridge. He held Mo Yi in his arms, feeding him while asking, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
“A little bit.” Mo Yi nodded honestly, then chuckled, “But I’ll get used to it!”
He spoke from the experience of two worlds.
After hearing this, Bai Cheng fell silent for a moment, then couldn’t help but bite Mo Yi’s cheek lightly in frustration. However, because he couldn’t bear to leave a mark, he ended up complaining half-heartedly, “Darling, if you want to get out of bed, stop seducing me.”
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he stroked his chin and smiled at Mo Yi, “Yiyi, after breakfast, let’s go get our marriage certificate.”
At present, in Xia Country, one can get married upon reaching the age of eighteen. With Mo Yi’s consent, Bai Cheng smoothly became a married man.
Looking at his freshly minted partner, Bai Cheng took him to buy couple rings, then they went to the property center to choose an apartment close to their university with a good environment as their future marital home, and even put the house completely under Mo Yi’s name.
After enjoying a fancy dinner outside, they returned home joyfully. However, upon their return, they sensed something unusual in the atmosphere.
“Bai Cheng, Mo Yi.” Hearing the call, Mo Yi and Bai Cheng both looked up and saw their elder brother, Jin Hanrong, standing on the second floor.
Unlike before, there was a woman standing next to the young man. She wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, but her demeanor was outstanding.
“Mom.” Bai Cheng subconsciously called out, and Mo Yi realized that this woman was his partner’s mother in this world. However, why would she suddenly return to the country?
Seeing Jin Hanrong waving at them to come up, Bai Cheng immediately held Mo Yi’s hand and, in front of everyone, brought him upstairs, directly to his mother’s presence.
Watching her youngest son’s actions, Jin Chuyao was somewhat surprised, but his determined gaze left her speechless for a moment.
She nodded at Bai Cheng and Mo Yi, then opened her own door and said, “Hanrong, Xiao Cheng, come to my room.”
But Bai Cheng directly brought Mo Yi inside, saying to Jin Chuyao, “Mo Yi can come too, he’s not an outsider.”
“Not an outsider?” Jin Chuyao frowned at the remark, then heard Bai Cheng continue, “He’s my partner, we’ve already obtained our marriage certificate.”

As Bai Cheng spoke, he raised the hand he was holding with Mo Yi’s, showing their couple rings to his mother and brother.

Bai Cheng didn’t back down at all, staring directly into Jin Chuyao’s eyes.
His mother had abandoned him and his older brother, leaving for overseas for so many years. He harbored no resentment.
If it weren’t for Mo Yi discovering Bai Liang’s other family and showing it to him, he wouldn’t have been able to sense anything wrong with Bai Xiuming so quickly or take precautions to protect himself and his older brother.
His Xiao Mo was his lucky star, his treasure. He wouldn’t let anyone become an obstacle to him and Mo Yi being together, not even his own mother.
Hearing this, Jin Chuyao’s initial momentum quickly waned.
Indeed, who was she to meddle here? What kind of mother was she? She was nothing but a coward!
If it weren’t for her eldest son calling her, telling her about recent events, and even Bai Cheng almost being drugged and set up, she might have continued to turn a blind eye overseas.
She was weak. After her father’s death, she realized her husband didn’t love her and had been deceiving her. Even when she suspected he was trying to take control of the Jin family’s assets step by step, she only felt heartbroken and didn’t have the courage to confront him.
She had invested all her energy into her hobbies, unwilling to bother with these matters anymore.
She had speculated about Bai Xiuming’s identity and suspected Bai Liang had another woman outside.
But this foster son, who was brought back at the age of eight and grew up in front of her, behaved exceptionally well, and she still had some feelings for Bai Liang.
She thought as long as she didn’t pursue it, they could all live peacefully.
But she never imagined that this child, who was so gentle and considerate in front of her, could be so vicious!
Even if she wanted to withdraw and ignore these matters, she was still a mother!
A mother couldn’t just watch her child suffer!
So when she received the call from Jin Hanrong, Jin Chuyao hastily packed her bags and returned to the country.
She flew back early in the morning, arriving home by late morning, just missing Bai Cheng and Mo Yi. Instead, she saw her eldest son waiting for her at home. She learned more from Jin Hanrong about Bai Liang and the good deeds he had done outside.
When Bai Cheng returned later, she hadn’t had a chance to be excited about finally meeting her younger son before he told her about getting married to someone else!
She didn’t know whether to be surprised that Bai Cheng’s partner was a boy or shocked that her child had just reached the legal age in Xia country and had already married.
But after hearing Bai Cheng’s words, she realized she had no right to question anything.
She was overwhelmed with sorrow, her eyes red with tears, overwhelmed by deep guilt and powerlessness.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Jin Hanrong hurriedly intervened, saying, “Mom, don’t worry, Bai Cheng is doing well now. You heard about his studio, the one with the name ‘Mystery Client’? It’s his.”
“And Mo Yi is really great too. They’ve been classmates for a long time. This time, we owe a lot to Mo Yi.”
He wasn’t sure how much Mo Yi had contributed, but at this moment, it was best to go along with his younger brother’s words!
“Host, say something quickly! This is meeting the parents!” 006 hurriedly reminded in the mental realm.
‘Meeting the parents?’ Hearing the system’s words, Mo Yi also realized the significance of the situation. He hadn’t experienced anything like this in his previous two worlds. But in this world, the relationship between partners and family was important, and he needed their approval.
Struggling to recall how a son-in-law should win over his mother-in-law from TV dramas, Mo Yi felt embarrassed to realize that he hadn’t prepared any gifts.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere between both sides, he could only muster up the courage and say, “Auntie, rest assured that you can entrust Bai Cheng to me. I will protect him. And, I will take good care of him.
I’ll take care of all the household chores, like laundry and cooking, so he won’t have to work hard. Although I’m not very good at cooking now, I will learn.
I will also work hard in the future, earn more money, and he’ll be responsible for being beautiful at home. You can trust me, I will definitely be a good partner!”
“Pfft!” Hearing his brother being compared to a delicate flower, Jin Hanrong knew it wasn’t appropriate for the occasion, but he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Bai Cheng glared at him, then turned his gaze back to Mo Yi, his eyes soft and affectionate.
Whether or not his sweetheart’s words sounded strange was one thing, but the deep affection in his words was what made him happiest.
If it weren’t for his mother and brother being present, he would have hugged his little puppy and kissed him. How sweet that little mouth must be.
Jin Chuyao also paused for a moment, then carefully examined the tall boy opposite her. Similar in age to Bai Cheng, he was a fresh and sunny young man. At this moment, he was nervously looking at her, his eyes full of sincerity.
Their hands had been clasped together all this time. When Bai Cheng looked at Mo Yi, the affection in his eyes was unmistakable.
This was the first time Jin Chuyao had seen Bai Cheng like this. In her impression, her child seemed to be always rebellious. But without her knowledge, he had grown to this extent.
Taking another look at Mo Yi’s sincere face, Jin Chuyao realized that her child seemed to have a better eye than herself.
With tears in her eyes, Jin Chuyao nodded and smiled gently at Mo Yi, “Why still call me auntie? Shouldn’t you call me mom?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Yi glanced excitedly at Bai Cheng beside him. Seeing his partner nod encouragingly, he immediately beamed with a bright smile and confidently exclaimed, “Mom!”
This was more than just a title; it was his mother-in-law’s approval! His mother-in-law was much better than those in TV dramas; she didn’t give him any trouble at all. Mo Yi thought happily to himself.
Jin Chuyao’s attitude made Bai Cheng very happy. His tense nerves relaxed, and since there were no outsiders in the room, they could speak freely.
After hearing about the various attempts by Bai Xiuming to harm Bai Cheng and Mo Yi, as well as the obstacles Jin Hanrong faced at work, Jin Chuyao’s anger grew stronger.
“It’s all my fault for letting you suffer!” the woman said, blaming herself.
Bai Cheng patted her shoulder, “The past is in the past, Mom. I’m glad you came back for us. This family needs you to pull yourself together!”
Mo Yi chimed in, nodding, “That’s right, we absolutely can’t let them off easily!”
Seeing his little puppy with a determined expression, Bai Cheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of affection. He couldn’t resist pinching his cheek gently.
Confused by the sudden display of affection, Jin Hanrong coughed forcefully and asked, “Bai Cheng, do you have another one of your mischievous ideas?”
Bai Cheng smirked, “Just need you guys to cooperate a bit more…”
That night, when Mr. Bai returned home and saw his wife, he was surprised but didn’t show any particular reaction. Bai Xiuming, however, was nowhere to be found. He didn’t come home.
But nobody asked about him, and it was Mo Yi who, through 006, confirmed that he was with his mother, probably because of the embarrassing incident earlier, not wanting to come home and bother Bai Liang.
Jin Chuyao behaved as usual at home, gentle and quiet. She was used to pretending to be blind and deaf, so it was familiar territory for her. Her presence or absence made no difference.
However, two days later, Bai Liang suddenly discovered a large sum of money missing from the company’s accounts, with no clear explanation for where it had gone. The finance department said it was Jin Chuyao’s doing.
Mo Yi: Mother-in-law, rest assured, I will take good care of your daughter! (Serious)
Bai Cheng: ???
Mo Yi is too cute 🥺
🤣👏Well done cutie cub!
Thanks for the chapter!
Omg so cute! But puppy, in this relationship you’re the daughter-in-law! Kkkkkkk
