Chapter 668: Chapter 668: This Watermelon Fell from the Sky (Monthly ticket 300+ More)

"I’ve never seen anyone who cries as much as you do. You argue with my mom, and yet you end up crying harder than anybody else." Jingting teased his wife.

They were in the backyard of the restaurant at the moment.

Surrounded by a flower bed, it was rarely visited on a regular day.

Yu Jingting stood there, holding a small mirror for Suizi who was recomposing her tear-soaked makeup.

Suizi was well-prepared, she has her makeup kit with her. With a few strokes, she was back to being a pretty lass.

"Wife, I find it fascinating, all this stuff you’re using now. It looks way better than what you used back when you lied about your age. Hey, could you use that black pen and dot a mole here, a captivating mole!"

Suizi’s hand trembled as she was applying lipstick, causing it to go slightly beyond her lips.

She frustratedly punched him.

"This is an eyebrow pencil, not a black pen! What kind of beauty standard is ’captivating mole’?!"

"Just try painting one on your face, I’m sure it’ll look good." Jingting pulled out Suizi’s eyebrow pencil, heartlessly making a mark on her face.

Suizi’s arms were shorter and she ended up getting dotted by him.

"Did I slip a little? Is it too big?" In Jingting’s imagination, a provocative mole should be at the corner of her lips, tempting when she smiles.

Unfortunately, his hand had a mind of its own and he ended up drawing a large, oval-shaped mole – like an old matchmaking woman.

They tried to rub it off with fingers. But whatever this eyebrow pencil Suizi was using, it was certainly stubborn. Not only did it not come off, it also smeared into a giant black spot on her face.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Suizi was riled up. She plunged into Jingting’s arms, clutched his neck and bit him on his face.

She left a lipstick stain on his face, along with a teeth mark.

Suizi didn’t fare much better. She had a spot of black on her face and her lipstick was smeared.

Looking at two faces reflecting a remarkable couple in the mirror, Suizi couldn’t help but chuckled.

"Mom is probably getting mad inside, we should quickly go in."

"Thinking of hurrying now? I couldn’t tell you were in a hurry when you bit me! Geez, why do you women like lipstick shades that resemble a dead child?"

Jingting grumbled with disgust.

To him, lipstick shades were merely a differentiation between fresh and slightly older dead child’s appearance.

"Earlier, I was thinking of escaping with you. Mom’s expression was terrifying."

"What I offered was a wedding gift for ’her.’ It was also the wedding gift I gave to my dad."

"Isn’t your gift right here?" Jingting pulled out a small velvet box from his pocket.

Inside the box were a pair of rings, designed by Suizi and custom-made by jewelry masters.

The jadeite attached was the best stone Jingting had ever won. From such a large raw stone, only two small pieces were suitable for the ring faces, well matched for couple like Chen Lijun. The craftsman was one of the best in the Border, fully scorning their tactics.

These rings looked several notches better than the one Jingting had given Suizi the one that was so ugly it could make you cry.

"Visible gifts like these are just representations of our feelings. The real gift should have arrived by now and I believe he will like it."

Over the past few days, Suizi had been trying to infer her mother’s thoughts, putting herself in her mother’s place back then and guessing why her mother didn’t want to tell her about her origins.

After countless illogical assumptions, the only solid explanation was summed up in one word.

"Fear."

"What?" Jingting didn’t understand.

"My mother was scared. She didn’t have the confidence to marry my father back then. She kept it to herself."

Originally, the Fan family didn’t even want her dating that prodigal Fan Hui, let alone the cultivated heir, Fan Huang.

"Before, she hid my identity from my father, I think it’s the same reason why she didn’t want to have a grand wedding. The fear buried in her heart... unless it’s sorted out, she will never bring it up in her life. She might think this is a good solution, but it’s unfair to my father."

"...What? Our mother, with her character, is afraid of something?" Yu Jingting thought his witch-like mother-in-law was usually the one others were afraid of.

"I’ve thought it over again and again. Her mindset was the same as mine back then. She didn’t want people to gossip about how much my father cares about a divorced woman, so she simply decided not to host a wedding banquet. She avoided the problem. She didn’t announce my relationship with my father to the outside world to consider my father’s future career path. After all, this isn’t exactly a glorious thing."

To sum it up, it’s just one sentence.

"She really, really loves my dad, more than we thought."

The woman who always claimed that wise ones do not fall in love has already drowned in love but still won’t admit it.

Only Suizi could analyze Chen Lijun to this extent, she might even understand her better than Chen Lijun herself.

"Let her see the thing she fears most, let her know that reality is not as terrifying as she imagines. Then she will naturally stop being afraid. So I think, she should have told my father the truth by now."

This is the wedding gift she gave to her parents, yes, it’s her.

She hopes her dad likes his not-so-perfect daughter.

Fan Huang was more than pleased, he was over the moon.

It was like a desert traveller who loved eating icy melon, was frustrated thinking about his brother enjoying the melon and the fan at home.

The next moment, a huge icy melon fell from the sky, waking him up, and he realized that all the pain were dreams.

In reality, it was his brother journeying through the desert without water to drink.

All along, he was home, enjoying the fan, the melon, the wife, along with the bright daughter he craved for.

Fan Huang looked at Chen Lijun, his eyes were filled with careful confirmation, afraid that everything he just heard was an illusion.

Chen Lijun nodded, and Fan Huang rejoiced.

Suizi’s words were like a wake-up call that awakened unwilling Chen Lijun.

Whether she ran or not, there would be gossip.

Out of all the people in the room today, those who sincerely wished her well, probably could be counted on one hand.

But, so what?

If these discussions couldn’t be avoided, then why not face them head on, live happily, and let them envy and resent.

"Why did you suddenly want to tell me?" Overjoyed, Fan Huang still remembered to ask Chen Lijun. With his understanding of this woman, if she could hide it from him for so many years, there must be some reason that provoked her to suddenly say it today.

"Your daughter scolded me. Seeing her defiance, I think it shouldn’t be only me worrying about her in the future. You are her biological father. You should be angry along with me. Next time she rebels, you will discipline her."

"Haha, okay, okay, okay." Fan Huang repeated his approval three times. The decisive role was played by his little sweetheart. He had to arrange a motorcar for his daughter and son-in-law immediately.

"Why hasn’t Suizi come yet?" Fan Huang now wanted to see Suizi. Even though he could see her every day, today felt different.

As he was talking, Suizi and Yu Jingting entered. The young couple looked no different than usual. The only difference was the seriousness in Suizi’s eyes.

"Suizi, come and let me introduce some people to you," Chen Lijun warmly greeted her daughter.

Suizi signaled Yu Jingting and they split up, one whispering with Chen Lijun, the other with Fan Huang.

"You said... what?!" Chen Lijun looked at Suizi in surprise and anger. Suizi nodded.

She had just received major news.
