Chapter 692 - 407: Mrs. Nuo’s Dilemma
Chapter 692: Chapter 407: Mrs. Nuo’s Dilemma
Arriving at the doorstep, Ying Nuo fished around in her pockets with a sheepish smile, "I rushed out so quickly, I forgot to take the keys."
Luo Feng smiled and patted her head while pressing the doorbell.
Feeling the sweat seeping from Luo Feng’s palm, Ying Nuo chuckled, looking up, "Brother Luo Feng, you’re nervous, aren’t you?"
Luo Feng straightened his expression, "No."
Mrs. Nuo fished out winter clothes from the wardrobe and fussed for a while, finally picking a set she was pleased with. Just as she had changed, the doorbell rang, and she hurried out, muttering, "This girl, when will she ever change her brash temperament."
Opening the door, she began, "Nuonuo, see what mom is wearing..." but upon seeing Luo Feng standing behind her daughter, she quickly trailed off, changing topic, "Is it Luo Feng who has come? Is it time already?"
"Auntie, hello, it’s not time yet, I came a bit earlier to wait," Luo Feng answered hastily, a hint of nervousness in his demeanor.
Mrs. Nuo caught a glimpse of her daughter and Luo Feng’s clasped hands, zoned out for a moment, then with an uneasy smile said, "Come in, come in quickly."
Without glancing at Mrs. Nuo, Ying Nuo bowed her head, dragging Luo Feng inside to sit down, bustling about to pour him tea, her trembling hands betraying her emotions at the moment.
Seeing her like this, Luo Feng instead became calm, looking at Mrs. Nuo seriously, "Auntie, I like Nuonuo. I will always treat her well all my life, and I ask for your permission to be with her."
Mrs. Nuo stared at him blankly for a long while before turning her gaze toward her daughter, "Nuonuo..."
"It’s true," Ying Nuo answered with a voice as faint as a mosquito’s.
"Hold on, hold on, let me calm down, I need to calm down..." mumbled Mrs. Nuo as she stood up and went straight back to the bedroom.
"Nuonuo, does your mom not approve of me?" Having never been through this kind of situation before, Luo Feng started to feel anxious, fine beads of sweat forming on the tip of his nose.
"I don’t know." Ying Nuo’s mood was somewhat frantic; her mom had just been explaining to her the unsuitability of being with Luo Feng, although her opinion seemed to sway later allowing them to be together. But it was all so sudden, could her mom not accept it?
After thinking for a moment, Luo Feng nudged Ying Nuo, "Nuonuo, go and ask your auntie’s thoughts. If there’s anything she disapproves of about me, I will work hard to change."
"Okay, I will go and check." Ying Nuo stood up distractedly, her shin "clinked" against the leg of the coffee table, pain making her hiss, and Luo Feng gently massaged it for her, "Don’t panic, no matter the outcome, my feelings won’t change. We’ll face it together."
"Okay," Ying Nuo hurriedly headed to her mom’s bedroom while responding.
Mrs. Nuo sat on the bed in a daze when she saw her daughter enter. Her eyes shifted, her lips moved, she sighed, then lowered her head and continued to be silent.
Ying Nuo sat beside Mrs. Nuo, tentatively asking, "Mom, do you not like Brother Luo Feng? He said that if there’s anything you dislike, he can change."
Mrs. Nuo glanced at her daughter once, holding her small, fumbling hand without saying a word.
Desperate, Ying Nuo nudged her, "Mom, what do you mean exactly? Just tell me."
"Let me think it over, don’t rush me..." Patting her daughter, Mrs. Nuo fell back into her contemplation. Ying Nuo exhaled softly and said no more.
"Nuonuo..." Mrs. Nuo finally spoke, "Luo Feng is top-notch in every aspect, I certainly have no objections to him, but speaking of background, we can’t expect to match the Luo Family in this lifetime.
However, after carefully considering the character of the Luo Family, Mom believes that even if our families’ circumstances greatly differ, you won’t be mistreated after marrying into their family.
But if you get together with Luo Feng, people will inevitably misunderstand, and think that no matter how hard you work, everything you achieve comes from the help of the Luo Family. So first, you need to think it over and if you believe you can bear it, then be with him.
Mom and Dad have only you for a daughter, and we’ve never thought of having you marry into a lofty family just to bask in their glory. Your happiness is what’s most important to us, so make your decision and we won’t deliberately stand in your way.
But if Luo Feng ever does something to wrong my precious daughter, no matter how influential his family is, Mom won’t be afraid to confront them!"
"Mom..." Ying Nuo affectionately wrapped her arms around Mrs. Nuo’s neck: "I knew Mom would be the best and would support me."
Suddenly Mrs. Nuo realized something: "Right, didn’t you say he has a girlfriend? What’s that all about?"
"That was all a misunderstanding..." Ying Nuo briefly explained to Mrs. Nuo what Luo Feng had told her.
"This is just tragic, Mom always says, the nobility has its own troubles. Although the life of ordinary people may be plain, it’s the happiest.
But since my precious daughter likes him, and you and Luoluo are such good friends, marrying into their family will surely not result in you being wronged, Mom will reluctantly accept it."
Ying Nuo stood up and took Mrs. Nuo by the hand: "Mom, let’s go out, Brother Luo Feng is waiting outside."
"Look at you, just look..." Mrs. Nuo shook her daughter’s little head: "This hopeless look of yours... Mom raised you for nearly twenty years, and never saw you care about Mom like this."
"Hehe..." Ying Nuo grinned mischievously: "Is Mom jealous?"
"Go!" Mrs. Nuo playfully slapped her daughter and then held her back, her expression becoming serious: "Nuonuo, no matter what, our family marrying into the Luo Family is indeed climbing high.
You should not always indulge your own temperament. You will have to learn some rules and etiquette, temper your little moods and tempers. Even if the Luo Family people don’t mind, we can’t be unconscious of it.
Also, in the future, if your aunts and uncles ask you to pass on messages or the like, you must refuse directly. Your future father-in-law holds a very high position, we cannot offer help if it turns out to be trouble, understand?"
"Mom, I understand." Ying Nuo smiled happily: "Mom, being your and Dad’s daughter, I am so blessed, truly. If this were any other family, they might be too excited trying to gain advantages for themselves."
"Silly girl, gaining advantages is like throwing your child into a pit of fire. Your Mom and Dad aren’t that foolish. Let’s go, don’t keep Luo Feng waiting too anxiously."
When mother and daughter came out, Luo Feng was anxiously downing cup after cup of tea.
Mrs. Nuo quickened her pace to her future son-in-law’s side: "Luo Feng, Auntie is quite pleased with you, it’s just your family’s background that had me a bit scared, I went in to calm down.
As for you and Nuonuo, there’s no problem on my end, and her father will definitely have no issues either. But to speak plainly, no matter how firm your family’s backing is, if you mistreat my daughter, I will risk everything to get justice for her."
Luo Feng quickly stood up, his demeanor serious: "Auntie, rest assured, we Luo Family members always keep our word. You can judge me by my actions, alright?"
