Chapter 335: Chapter 114 The Mother-in-law’s Deep Schemes

Gu Xiaoxi’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately shed two streams of noodle-like tears. This mother-in-law was so cunning, she had actually set a trap for her! To make her stay at home and have children!

Damn!

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly lost her composure.

She immediately opened her watery, innocent eyes wide and looked helplessly at Quan Shaoqing.

Quan Shaoqing saw her aggrieved look, and his heart softened. He immediately interrupted, "Mom, stop teasing. Weren’t you twenty-five when you had my brother? And you had me when you were twenty-eight. Xiao Xi is only going to be twenty in a few months. Aren’t your demands a bit too much? Besides, we are soldiers, defending our home and country is everyone’s duty. She has to serve at least another year and a half, so you’d better cut out the wild thoughts. Spend some time visiting Dad! His little lover is about to make a full circuit around the earth."

"What kind of son talks about his own dad like that? If he really had that many lovers, I bet you would have fallen out with him a long time ago. It’s so late, hurry up and eat. You must be starving."

Song Xu patted Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder and stood up from the couch, "Come on daughter-in-law, let’s go eat."

"Mom, don’t call her that randomly. She’s my wife; you should call her daughter-in-law," Quan Shaoqing said, pulling Gu Xiaoxi with him as they walked to the dining table.

The table was laden with a lot of food, prepared in advance by Song Xu.

Her only requirement for her daughter-in-law was to quickly give her a grandson after getting married.

Her eldest son was deceased, and Quan Shaoqing was in danger frequently. If something were to happen to them, what would become of their family? It’s not that she didn’t like Gu Xiaoxi, but she felt Gu Xiaoxi was too young. If there was any mishap in the family, could she hold it up?

But what could she do if her son liked her?

Her son getting married was something she had been longing for, and she had been anxious and agitated for a long time because of it.

Everyone had a great time at dinner, and Song Xu took good care of Gu Xiaoxi. Hearing that she had participated in a competition, she was even more attentive and encouraged her to eat more.

"I’ve already cleaned out Shaoqing’s room, and Xiao Xi, I’ve also prepared some clothes and daily necessities for you. See if they are suitable for you. If not, let Shaoqing take you out to buy some," Song Xu said, putting down her chopsticks and looking at Gu Xiaoxi with a light smile in her eyes.

"Thank you, Auntie. I’m not fussy, anything is fine," Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile.

"What’s this calling me ’Auntie’? You’re already a part of the Quan family, it sounds so awkward. Call me ’Mom’ and let me hear it," Song Xu ordered, looking sternly at Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi looked towards Quan Shaoqing, and he immediately nodded at her, "What are you waiting for? Call her!"

"Mom!"

"Ah!" Song Xu crisply responded.

Gu Xiaoxi felt a headache coming on, this mother-in-law was nothing like she had imagined.

"Remember, from now on, you call me Mom, did you hear that?" Song Xu ordered.

Just then, Quan Mo, who had been sitting quietly on the side, looked at Gu Xiaoxi with her big eyes wide, "Grandma, can I call her ’Mommy’ now too?"

"That’s up to Shaoqing’s wife," Song Xu replied.

Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze fell on Quan Mo’s face, her bright, grape-like eyes filled with anticipation. How could she have the heart to refuse? So, with a beaming smile, she said, "Of course!"

"Daddy, Mommy, thank you. I’m so happy to be your daughter. Can you give me a hug now, Mommy?" Quan Mo climbed down from her chair and ran up to Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi reached out her arms and hugged her tight, feeling her soft little body, which was as light as a feather. Holding her felt warm, like cuddling a lovable doll.

"Momo, you’re causing trouble again. Mommy is tired today, behave yourself and come to Grandma. I’ll take you to the lab tonight to watch the uncles do experiments," Song Xu said, striding forward to take Quan Mo from Gu Xiaoxi. "Xiao Xi, after you finish dinner, you should rest early. I’m taking Momo out for a while and will be back late. Shaoqing, take good care of your wife. Give me a grandson soon. I had Aunt Mei prepare a pot of nourishing soup, make sure to drink it."

Having said that, Song Xu walked away with Quan Mo.

The house was suddenly left with only Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing, and Aunt Mei, who cooked for them.

Aunt Mei carried a pot of soup and walked briskly to the dining table, then took a bowl and filled it up for Quan Shaoqing, setting it in front of him, "Young Master, the old Madam said you must finish it. It’s good for fathering a healthy baby boy."

Quan Shaoqing looked at the bowl suspiciously, the broth reeking of a strong smell, and curiously asked, "What is this? I’ve never seen it before."

Aunt Mei beamed a brilliant smile, glancing at Gu Xiaoxi.

Feeling embarrassed, Gu Xiaoxi knew the mother-in-law was up to no good again. So, she picked up her cup and drank water as if she hadn’t heard anything.

At that moment, under the pressure of Quan Shaoqing’s cold stare, Aunt Mei finally squeaked out, "Deer Whip Soup!"

"Pfft!" Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t hold back and sprayed out a mouthful of water. Her cheeks flushed red, caught in an awkward situation of wanting to laugh but not daring to.

Quan Shaoqing’s face darkened as he glared at Aunt Mei, "Take it away!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Gu Xiaoxi’s wrist and then led her upstairs.

Aunt Mei looked on in terror as Quan Shaoqing stormed off, regretting her candor. If only she had listened to the old lady and deceived him a little.

Gu Xiaoxi looked down, nearly choking on her laughter, "I heard that stuff can cure diseases, why don’t you drink some?"

"I’m not sick! Gu Xiaoxi, you’re dead tonight." Did he really need that? Though he was eight years her senior, he was in the prime of his life. Did he really need medicinal help for such matters?

It was utterly humiliating.

Gu Xiaoxi, caught by Quan Shaoqing, entered a luxurious and spacious room on the second floor, its grandeur apparent in its large space and careful furnishings. The enormous round bed alone took up several square meters, and even the satin on the bedside sham was inlaid with gold threads, exuding a noble elegance.

Upon entering, Quan Shaoqing pinned Gu Xiaoxi against the door and brought her to a standstill with a wall-slam.

He lifted her face, which was full of suppressed laughs, and looked at her rosy cheeks with a stern voice, "Gu Xiaoxi, let me tell you some good news. From now on, you’re officially my wife."

Gu Xiaoxi, looking into his dangerous eyes, blinked in confusion, "What do you mean ’officially’ your wife?"

"See for yourself!" he said, pulling her wrist over to a small table in the room, pointing to two red booklets laid upon it.

Out of curiosity, Gu Xiaoxi strode forward and picked up one of the booklets from the table, "A marriage certificate!"

Damn!

As she read those three words, her eyes widened in shock. She flipped it open to find their photos inside, photoshopped into a dual military portrait.

"How did you pull this off, even changing my birthdate?" Gu Xiaoxi asked curiously.

Quan Shaoqing sat on the sofa, legs crossed, and picked up the red wine that had been prepared on the table, speaking indifferently, "I didn’t change anything. I looked up your actual age. The date here is your real birthday."

Gu Xiaoxi did some quick calculations, "So that means I’m already twenty years old?"

"Correct! Wife, now you wouldn’t refuse me anymore, right?" Quan Shaoqing squinted his eyes, cunningly smiling, "The marriage certificate is in hand, I’m working with credentials now. My lady, shouldn’t we do something tonight?"

"Do what? Hey, I’m tired! Let me read a bit, then I’ll rest." Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks reddened and, feeling awkward, she picked up a book on the table, pretending to read.

His gaze was just too revealing of his intentions.

She felt shy, but more than that, a tinge of nervousness and bewilderment.

In a panic, she flipped open the book in her hands—she wouldn’t have been so scared if she hadn’t flipped through it.

Because the cover of the book featured a bold photo of a woman’s bare back. She’d seen plenty like it and didn’t give it a second thought until she turned the pages—holy cow!

Instantaneously, her cheeks turned so red they seemed as if they could bleed.

Startled, she immediately put down the book, but Quan Shaoqing, out of curiosity, reached out to grab it.

Gu Xiaoxi, alarmed, tried to snatch it back, but in doing so, not only did she fail to retrieve the book, she ended up in Quan Shaoqing’s arms.

Quan Shaoqing casually flipped through the book, and seeing its contents, was surprised for a moment. After a while, he grinned and said, "My mother is incredible. She can even find such out-of-print books. But they’re quite useful, indeed. Xiao Xi, have a look—what page do you think is the best?"

Gu Xiaoxi covered her face, her ears red enough to drip blood, and had to admit, her mother-in-law’s schemes were deep! She felt somewhat overwhelmed.

"I—I’m feeling hot, I’ll go wash my face," Gu Xiaoxi managed to say as she tried to push Quan Shaoqing away.

But Quan Shaoqing had no intention of letting her go at this moment. He had waited for this day for so long, for so very long!

He was nearly suffering from pent-up frustration. Now that the marriage certificate was in hand, to forego flesh was unthinkable. How could he go through life like that?

In fear, Gu Xiaoxi cried out sharply, but it was to no avail against his quick hands—he went so far as to lift her clothes directly...

"Keep screaming, wife! Others will hear you!" Quan Shaoqing kissed her red lips gently and triumphantly smiled.
