Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Embarrassment Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Embarrassment A son-in-law like that would be hard to find even with a lantern!

Wang Meng spoke appropriately and said he would definitely treat Su Ningxiu well in the future, winning over Mrs. Shen and Su Zhongshi’s hearts.

Especially Mrs. Shen, she became increasingly satisfied with Wang Meng as her son-in-law.

Having met Wang Meng, Mrs. Shen was satisfied with him, but she still didn’t know her daughter Su Ningxiu’s thoughts. Mrs. Shen planned to go to her room right now to ask Su Ningxiu, and if Su Ningxiu also agreed, then she would accept Wang Meng’s proposal.

If her own daughter Su Ningxiu was unwilling, Mrs. Shen would reconsider and not agree just yet, putting her daughter’s wishes first. After all, marriage is a lifetime matter for her daughter, and she must truly favor the match. Otherwise, her daughter might be unhappy.

If Su Ningxiu didn’t like Wang Meng, harmony in marriage would inevitably be difficult.

Though Mrs. Shen was quite pleased with the prospect of Wang Meng as her son-in-law, she still needed to ask for Su Ningxiu’s opinion.

Outside, Wang Meng and Su Zhongshi were sitting in the main room having tea, with the matchmaker incessantly praising Wang Meng’s good qualities.

Mrs. Shen made an excuse to go out, and Su Ningxiu had also heard about Wang Meng’s marriage proposal–she was told by Su Xiaobao. Su Ningxiu could indeed sense that Wang Meng liked her, and she was also somewhat smitten with him. However, Su Ningxiu had not expected Wang Meng to propose to the Su Family so soon.

This made Su Ningxiu feel shy, and at the same time, she grew fonder of Wang Meng. Mr. Wu had deceived her back then because he refused to propose.

Mr. Wu wasn’t sincere with her, hence he did not propose; on the other hand, Wang Meng brought a matchmaker and was very thorough with the proper formalities. It was clear that Wang Meng’s affections were not just a fleeting interest like Mr. Wu’s. Women hope to find someone who truly cares for them, and Su Ningxiu was no different, considering that Wang Meng had now come to propose.

Deep down, Su Ningxiu was actually quite pleased with Wang Meng.

As Su Ningxiu sat on the edge of her bed thinking about Wang Meng, Mrs. Shen suddenly walked in from outside, startling her, “Mother, you’re here?” What was Mrs. Shen doing here at this hour?

How could Su Ningxiu not know Mrs. Shen’s intent? It was surely about Wang Meng’s proposal. Pretending to be oblivious, Su Ningxiu knew her mother understood she was too shy to say it.

She smiled with pursed lips, “Xiuxiu, don’t you know why Mother has come?” she teased her daughter, causing Su Ningxiu’s face to blush. Looking at Mrs. Shen with feigned annoyance, Su Ningxiu said, “Mother, why are you becoming as mischievous as Xiaobao?” Her younger sister, Su Yunjin, liked to tease her from time to time.

Su Ningxiu felt that her mother, Mrs. Shen, had now adopted her younger sister’s fondness for playful teasing.

Mrs. Shen laughed; after all, a happy event in the family was always cause for joy.

Without teasing her daughter further, Mrs. Shen took her daughter’s hand and spoke seriously, “Xiuxiu, today someone came to the Su Family with a marriage proposal. You’ve seen him, what do you think? Do you like that young man with the surname Wang?”

Su Ningxiu knew that if she nodded now, her mother would agree to Wang Meng’s proposal. Thinking about living with Wang Meng after their marriage made Su Ningxiu somewhat embarrassed. Mrs. Shen then said, “Xiuxiu, Mother is really fond of that young man with the surname Wang. If you have no objections, then your father and I will agree to his proposal.”

As Mrs. Shen spoke of agreeing to Wang Meng’s proposal, Su Ningxiu hurriedly grabbed her mother’s hand, not letting her go. Mrs. Shen raised an eyebrow, looking at her daughter, thinking she might be reluctant.

“Xiuxiu, what’s wrong? Are you unwilling to marry Wang Meng?”
