Ditsy Wife: Mysterious Husband is Unfathomable

Just Endure It and It’ll Be Over Soon

Big Uncle Gong crossed his legs, took up his teacup, and swirled it a couple of times. He then said to Mama Gong, “How can you drink Bamboo Leaf tea at a wedding? The color is extremely green and inauspicious.”

“Pfft.” Mama Gong burst out laughing and laughed even harder when Gong Mo turned around to glare at her.

Big Uncle Gong said, “You should have Big Red Robe tea. It’s very red and auspicious!”

Mama Gong rolled her eyes at him. “Big Red Robe tea? You’re thinking too much. You can serve it when you have your own son-in-law!”

Sheng Nanxuan added, “That’s right. Big Red Robe tea is too expensive for me to afford. Once I have the money, I’ll definitely buy some for Ma. But I’ll definitely not be getting Big Red Robe tea for Big Uncle.”

“Why?” Big Uncle Gong asked unhappily.

“It’s to differentiate our closeness in our relationship. I have to give Ma something different or no one would be able to tell how important Ma is to me.”

Mama Gong was delighted and patted his shoulder. “You’re so mature. I feel proud to have a son-in-law like you.”

“What is there to be proud of?” Big Aunt pulled a long face. “Does he even know how to speak properly? How could he tread on us just to please his mother-in-law? We’re Gong Mo’s elders!”

Sheng Nanxuan smiled lightly, yet there was no warmth in his gaze. “I wouldn’t be able to tell that you’re Momo’s elder if you didn’t say so. I’m going to marry Momo and you should be offering blessings as her relatives instead of keeping silent and saying nothing. I find it funny that when you finally say something, all you had were complaints that the tea isn’t good enough. What Big Aunt just said is even more impressive. You sounded like you could be Momo’s creditor!”

“You…”

“That’s enough.” Mama Gong interrupted them and said mildly, “Nanxuan is a straightforward person. Everyone is family here, so don’t take it to heart.”

Big Uncle laughed stiffly. “His attitude won’t help him out in society.”

“That’s right,” said Third Uncle insipidly. “It’s better to have an easygoing attitude out there, though we’ll just look past it since we’re family.”

Gong Mo said embarrassed, “The food is ready. Let’s go eat.”

She was getting a little angry now!

The waitstaff were delivering the food, yet Big Uncle and the rest of the relatives didn’t even give them face, speaking so much nonsense here! Ultimately, they were discussing her wedding and they shouldn’t say such uncomfortable things here! Everyone walked outside. Sheng Nanxuan rubbed Gong Mo’s back as though comforting her. She looked at him in surprise. Did he know that she was unhappy?

His gaze softened and he whispered, “Just endure it and it’ll be over soon.”

He only hated the fact that he couldn’t kill them because they were Gong Mo’s relatives. Their presence only brought discomfort to both Gong Mo and Mama Gong.

However, once they went to the capital, it would be “out of sight, out of mind.” They only had to endure this for a little while longer.

During the meal, Gong Fei observed Sheng Nanxuan. In order to climb up the ranks of the entertainment industry, she was introduced to some wealthy second-generation heirs. This man didn’t look worse than them. Could he have some sort of influence as well? How could Gong Mo’s luck be so good as to be able to first seduce Sheng Donglin and now a Mr. Perfect?

She lifted her wineglass and asked languidly, “Cousin, cousin-in-law, let me toast you in advance. May you have a happy marriage and live a long life together.”

The pair took up their wine glasses as well and took a little sip. The wine served on the table was white wine but since pregnant women could not drink alcohol, the liquid in Gong Mo’s wineglass had been swapped with water.

Upon putting her wineglass down, Gong Fei said pointedly, “Cousin has good taste. Each boyfriend of yours is more handsome than the next. I wonder if this one is as rich as the previous one.”

She was implying that Gong Mo was vain.

Gong Mo and Mama Gong’s faces changed and they glared at her.
