Chapter 128: Chapter 125 Mrs. Leng Arrives

Here is the requested translation:

Tian Yaruo had never disliked Weiwei so much in a single moment. She suppressed the anger in her heart and calmly said, "Weiwei, that matter was a misunderstanding—we’ve already sorted it out, haven’t we? Yan, this decision I’ve made wasn’t impulsive; I’ve thought it through carefully. Look at Kesong, he’s so lonely by himself, having a sister around might brighten up his personality a bit!"

Yan Xuefeng nodded, "Yaruo, you’re absolutely right! Let’s proceed this way. Since the tickets are booked, we’ll head to North City!"

Ye Duowei saw that her persuasion got nowhere, and angrily snapped, "You’ll all regret this in the future!" Then, she stomped her foot and ran out.

"Weiwei!" Tian Yaruo took two steps forward to chase her but stopped, watching her distant back, and sighed deeply.

"Yaruo, let it be. Weiwei is just a bit temperamental; maybe she’ll be fine in a few days!" Yan comforted her from behind, pulling her into his embrace. Tian Yaruo nestled into him, but her heart wasn’t as optimistic. She was beginning to wonder if her decision was right or wrong...

On November 24th, the couple finally managed to spend a romantic afternoon together. After Leng Mochen answered a phone call, his expression visibly darkened.

Li Si clung to his arm curiously, "What’s wrong?"

Leng Mochen thought for a moment before gazing deeply into her eyes, "Si, my mother’s flight will arrive in North City shortly. Shall we go pick her up together?"

Li Si was shocked by the news. Perhaps she had grown too comfortable with their peaceful lives recently that she had forgotten about his family. Might the meeting lead to an unpleasant scene?

Her worry and fear were written plainly on her face. Leng Mochen gently smoothed her brows and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid! I’ll handle everything! She won’t dare say much against you. Remember this—if by any chance, she makes things difficult for you, don’t spare my feelings. Fight back directly! Got it?"

Li Si nodded and then shook her head. Was that really okay? After all, she was his mother. "What if—just in case—she doesn’t like me?"

"Then she doesn’t like you. As long as I like you, that’s all that matters! In front of her, I’ll still call you by your name to avoid any unnecessary trouble!" Leng Mochen instructed.

Li Si nodded. His reasoning seemed quite sensible. She recalled reading about similar situations on online forums before—many mothers couldn’t stand seeing their sons treat their daughters-in-law well. That was an important lesson learned. "Then what should I call you? Should I call you ’brother’?"

Leng Mochen nodded, "Sure! But privately, you’ll still need to call me Mochen—I love hearing it!"

Li Si rolled her eyes at him, "So unserious!" Thirty years old, yet he still acted like a child sometimes.

"Hm? Did you just call me unserious? Alright then! I’ll have to respond appropriately!" With that, Leng Mochen suddenly scooped her up and started walking toward the bedroom!

"Ah! What are you doing? I don’t—" Li Si panicked. What was going on? She didn’t want this—why was her mind even thinking about such things right now?

"So, what will you call me? Hmm?" Leng Mochen asked as he carried her in a princess hold. His tone carried a slight air of intimidation.

A wise person knows when to bend or stand firm, especially her as a small woman. Li Si immediately softened and called out sweetly, "Mochen!"

Leng Mochen pretended to respond harshly, "Well done—you’ve played your cards right!" In truth, his actions were merely meant to lighten her nervousness.

Just as he hoped, she let out a sigh of relief. After the playful commotion, her initial worries seemed to magically vanish, leaving behind only a touch of nervousness. She began to wonder how the actual meeting would go—what should she say?

"Ah, maybe I should move out first. If she sees me here, she might overthink!" Li Si quickly brought up the problem. Though their relationship was pure, not everyone might see it that way—especially a mother-in-law figure. She could easily be judged!

"No need. I’ve booked a hotel for her!" Leng Mochen shook his head firmly. He didn’t want anyone disrupting his life.

...

North City Airport, 7 PM.

Li Si took Leng Mochen’s advice and wore a knee-length royal-blue dress paired with a white mink coat and black boots. Her hair was styled simply in an updo, adorned with a sparkling hairpin that highlighted her smooth forehead.

Since they were traveling by car, despite the minus 20-degree temperature in North City, she didn’t feel cold.

"What should I say later?" Li Si repeatedly asked this question during the drive. She had said it countless times. Jiang Feng, the driver, maintained a nonchalant silence, focusing entirely on his job.

Leng Mochen turned her shoulders gently, face calm and reassuring. "Don’t be afraid! I’ll handle everything! You don’t need to say anything if you don’t want to. Just remember what I told you—she’s just my mother. The person you’ll spend your life with is me!"

Li Si nodded earnestly, her heart calming slightly. "I understand!" She could only hope his mother would be easy to get along with. Otherwise, a poor relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could seriously impact their future.

The airport broadcast announced the arrival of the flight from Beijing to North City.

Li Si quickly composed herself and joined Leng Mochen in searching for his mother amidst the crowd.

Leng Mochen waved toward an elegant woman carrying a red handbag. Li Si couldn’t help but marvel—she was the picture of a wealthy lady. Dressed in black fur with her hair styled in an impressive updo, she exuded nobility from the moment she approached. If one overlooked the faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she could easily be mistaken for a woman in her forties.

"Mochen! I traveled here to celebrate your birthday—hopefully, you’re not upset with me? And who’s this young lady?" Mrs. Leng looked at Leng Mochen with a mix of excitement and unease, carefully choosing her words. She then turned her gaze toward Li Si, scanning her intently.

"Yes! This is my girlfriend, Li Si!" Leng Mochen introduced, pulling Li Si closer.

Mrs. Leng’s eyes flashed briefly before she smiled warmly. "Miss Li, hello! You’re very beautiful! How long have you been seeing each other?"

Li Si felt a bit shy. "Hello, Auntie!"

"We’ve been seeing each other for a while. This isn’t the place to chat—it’s already late. Let’s head out for dinner! I’ve booked a hotel for you earlier," Leng Mochen said firmly, holding Li Si’s hand and exchanging glances with his mother.

Mrs. Leng’s face showed a fleeting trace of sadness. "Mochen, you’ve spent over half a year here and haven’t returned to Beijing to see me. I’ve really missed you!" Her eyes glistened with tears as she spoke.

Li Si’s first impression of her was positive. Inside, however, she wrestled with herself. Should she say something? A mother visiting her son, being asked to stay in a hotel—it didn’t feel quite right. Yet still, she was living there, and misunderstandings might occur. It was a difficult situation.

Leng Mochen glanced at Li Si and noticed the conflict in her eyes. He then said, "This isn’t the place for this discussion!" Internally, he felt conflicted too. After all, he was borrowing someone else’s home and wasn’t sure how he should handle someone else’s mother.

Mrs. Leng smiled at the two of them. "Alright! Mochen, let’s go!" How could she not have noticed the subtle movements between them? Clearly, this girl held a special place in her son’s heart! As much as it made her feel uneasy, she hid her reaction flawlessly.

The driver, Jiang Feng, drove while Leng Mochen sat in the passenger seat. In the back, Mrs. Leng clung to Li Si’s hand, chatting enthusiastically, while Li Si felt completely out of sorts. Yet she knew there was no choice—this was Mochen’s mother. For the sake of their future, she decided to endure it! (To be continued.
