Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I feel assured now. Although the two families are already engaged, that is the last wish of your grandpa and Grandpa Tang that you two are well-wedded.”
“But no matter what, I still hope that you can live a happy life!”
“I was with your grandpa for decades, suffering from bitterness of life.”
“But we never argued. So now 1 think that apart from your Grandpa Tang…”
“There is nothing I feel regretful about.”
“I also hope that you and Jingxing can have a happy life together.”
“Marriage is a lifelong thing, and it is easy to love someone but difficult to keep living together.”
…..
“The key point matters!” Grandma said with a heavy tone.
Liuli nodded and heard what she said.
She understood that Grandma did not have to tell her about this.
She had never heard Grandma mention this before, after all.
Just as she had never seen the jewelry box before.
And she had nothing to worry about either.
But Grandma still told her that she wanted to speak with her in a frank and equal way.
She did not want to conceal the whole story from her.
She also hoped that she could understand what she meant.
So she could understand what marriage was like.
And it depended on herself to have a good marriage.
“Grandma, I got it.”
“I will live a good life with Brother Moxi!” Liuli said emotionally.
“That is good!” Grandma Yu nodded with relief, tears in her eyes.
“Grandma, Brother Moxi treats me well, don’t worry!” Liuli continued.
Liuli understood that her decision would cause concern for Grandma.
If she married into the Tang family, would her life be unfavorable?
If her life turned out poorly, it would undoubtedly sadden Grandma.
That was the least she could do to console Grandma.
“Alright, both you and Jingxing are wonderful children,” Grandma replied.
Liuli nestled against Grandma and smiled, even though a trace of bitterness lingered in her heart.
What would the future hold for her and the man?
Even she herself was uncertain.
Thus, they had to take it step by step.
However, for now, things were going well between her and the man.
Despite Mr. Tang being a troublesome individual, he was making these efforts for her sake.
Her inner conflict had diminished.
Moreover, Mr. Tang had mentioned that…
Their marriage served as a temporary solution. If, in the future, she no longer desired to continue, she could opt for a divorce.
However, if she wished to proceed, she had that choice as well.
Therefore, she held the reins.
There was no need for her to worry about anything.
Nevertheless, Grandma seemed even more anxious than she was.
That’s why Liuli wanted to comfort Grandma.
When dinner was prepared…
Lin Yu knocked on the door, inviting them to join for the meal.
“Grandma, let’s go and have dinner!” Liuli said to Grandma, a smile gracing her face.
“Alright, go and tidy up your belongings,” Grandma nodded.
“Oh, 1’11 do that right away!” Liuli replied.
She carefully took hold of the jewelry box.
She turned around and walked out of Grandma’s room, went upstairs and put away the jewelry box.
Liuli was going to keep Grandma’s secret whatsoever.
If her mom asked her about this, she could just say that the jewelry box was a treasure given by Grandma.
Liuli put the jewelry box into the drawer of the closet and locked it.
Then she went downstairs to eat dinner.
She was served with her favorite dishes for dinner.
Liuli’s eyes brightened.
“Didn’t you eat lunch?” Lin Yu asked Liuli.
“Yes, it was just some snacks. 1 am starving.”
“Mom, I am going to eat the delicious food you make every day when I am back from winter holiday”
“And 1 will gain weight!” Liuli said with a flattering tone.
“It is good if you are chubby. You look good when you are chubby!” Grandma answered with a smile.
“So 1 can look as if 1 were bringing good luck, Grandma?” Liuli added.
“True!” Grandma nodded.
Liuli smiled and touched her own chin.
If she continued to eat like this, she would have a double chin. That would be a blessing look that brought herself good luck!
After dinner, Liuli did not return to her own room to take a break.
Instead, she had to listen to her mom’s advice.
The day after tomorrow, she and the man were going to get married.
Her mom was still trying to have everything ready.
And she even asked her if she was done packing.
Liuli said that everything was ready!
Actually, there was nothing much to pack, just dresses and accessories. She could easily bring those with her!
“Don’t bring too many clothes with you. You can keep some for when you come home.”
“Just sort out the things you need and take them away.” Lin Yu paused.
A married daughter could still visit her mother’s home often.
But she still felt as if she had given away her daughter somehow.
She had spent so much efforts raising her, and she just could not bear to part with her.
She had always been strict with his daughter, but it was just a matter of love and responsibility.
Now her daughter was getting married, and that made her feel very unease.
Hearing what her mom said, Liuli realized that she had not packed any stuff!
She had thought that she was just going to have a wedding with Mr. Tang, simple and straightforward.
…..
Then she could come back home again!
She had never thought about packing up her stuff!
But was she going to pack up and move out? Liuli could not help but feel distressed. And when she saw her mom’s saddened look…
She decided to say nice words to her mother instead.
“Mom, don’t think that I am married.”
“Think that I am going away for college.”
“Look at me, 1 am still going back to school after the Spring Festival!”
“Isn’t it the same as now?” Liuli walked over, took her mom’s shoulders and consoled her.
“You are soon married, and you can’t behave like a child.” Lin Yu sighed and said.
“Mom, I am not a spoiled child!”
“Also, Grandpa Tang loved me so deeply and he could not allow me to get saddened.”
“And Brother Moxi is treating me nicely as well.”
“Don’t worry about me!” Liuli continued.
She had just consoled two people in the family.
She suddenly felt that she had become very important.
But before this moment, she did not care.
After the engagement, she started to feel sadness crawling over the head.
And especially today, she felt so saddened and unhappy..
