Capítulo 25: Satisfied
Editor: Atlas Studios
Mama Gong burst out laughing. Wasn't bullying a girl because you liked her something only kindergarten boys did? The three of them stopped talking and focused on buying groceries once they arrived at the wet market.
Mama Gong said, "It's hot today. Let's make two more servings of coleslaw and make a pot of mung bean pumpkin soup."
"You have the final say!" Gong Mo smiled.
Mama Gong picked out a few vegetables attentively. When she was about to pay, Sheng Nanxuan handed his money over before she could even open her wallet.
She said dazedly, "How could I make you pay for these?"
Sheng Nanxuan received the vegetables from the stall owner. "It's only right for me to."
Mama Gong paused and looked satisfied. After buying the groceries, they bought a large watermelon as well. Sheng Nanxuan carried it on his own initiative. Mama Gong had never felt so relaxed when buying groceries. There was a light spring in her step.
Gong Mo felt a little embarrassed and wanted to help out. "It's alright," Sheng Nanxuan said.
"Isn't it too heavy?" The goods added up to about five kilograms in total.
Sheng Nanxuan lowered his head. "I didn't have any problem carrying you. Or are you saying these are heavier than you?"
Gong Mo was startled. She quickly looked over at Mama Gong, afraid that the latter had heard this. Upon seeing that Mama Gong had no reaction, she breathed a sigh of relief and hit Sheng Nanxuan gloomily. She then realized something and said, "Who are you calling heavy?"
Sheng Nanxuan was speechless. Turns out that women were indeed really weight-conscious.
...
After returning home, Mama Gong started to prepare the dinner. Gong Mo took the potatoes outside. "I'll peel these outside."
"Go, go!" Mama Gong rolled her eyes. "It's so obvious that you want to talk to your boyfriend."
Gong Mo sighed wordlessly. Mama's imagination was really vivid. She saw Sheng Nanxuan on the sofa reading a newspaper when she walked into the living room. When she walked over, he put down the newspaper and looked at her.
She looked towards the kitchen. She then picked up a potato, peeled it a little before whispering, "I told my mom that I broke up with your brother a long time ago."
Sheng Nanxuan nodded upon being informed. He reached out to take the potato. "Let me do it."
"You know how to peel potatoes?" Gong Mo asked in surprise.
"I pick up things really quickly. I'd be stupid if I still don't know how to do it after watching you for so long."
Was it alright for him to ridicule himself like that? However, Sheng Nanxuan did a good job of peeling the potato.
Gong Mo thought it impossible for him to learn something so fast. How could he have done it so naturally his first time? "Do you know how to cook?" she asked.
"No." Sheng Nanxuan lifted his eyes and looked at her. "Do you wish that your future husband would know how to?"
Gong Mo shook her head.
"Do you know how to cook?" he asked as he continued peeling the potatoes.
"I do. But I want to work in the future and not be a housewife. I thought I could be a housewife, but then you're not allowed to complain that you don't earn money. I won't stand for being both a breadwinner and a housewife!"
Sheng Nanxuan laughed lightly. "Relax. You don't have to do either. Just enjoy life."
"You're so full of hot air!" Gong Mo laughed. "Are you a multimillionaire?"
"Of course not." He was a multibillionaire.
"Where are the potatoes? Why are they taking so long to peel?" Mama Gong walked out and saw Sheng Nanxuan holding a potato. "How could you get Nanxuan to peel them?" she admonished Gong Mo.
"It's only right for me to." Sheng Nanxuan stood up and walked over with the peeled potatoes. "May I help Auntie with dinner?"
"It's alright. You should rest. Momo, come cut the watermelon."
"Oh…" Gong Mo rose.
Mama Gong smiled at Sheng Nanxuan before returning to the kitchen first.
Gong Mo walked to him and whispered, "It seems like Mama has accepted you."
